大学生必做的十六件事情

Make your job search a priority. Jobs do not fall in your lap， you have to chase them. Especially a good one. It's a job to look for a job. Use 10)spreadsheets to track your progress. And plan early.

第八，要优先考虑求职此事。工作要自己去找，特别是好工作，不要等着天上掉馅饼。把找工作看成是一项工作。使用电子表格来记录你的进度，并早日作计划。

Take a course in happiness. Happiness study is revolutionizing how we think of psychology， economic and sociology. Preview: Learn to be more optimistic.

第九，修读关于“幸福”的课程。关于“幸福”的研究就是要革新我们对心理学、经济学和社会学的认知。首先要学会更积极地看待问题。

Take an acting course. The best actors are actually being their most 11)authentic selves. You need to learn to communicate authentically so that people will listen and feel connected.

第十，修读表演课。实际上最好的演员只是在演绎最真实的自己。你要学习真诚地与别人沟通，让他人愿意聆听并产生共鸣。

Learn to give a 12)compliment. The best compliments are specific. Practice on your professors. If you give a good compliment the recipient will think you're smarter: a big payoff in college， but a bigger payoff in the work world.

第十一，学会赞美别人。最好的赞美该是言之有物的。可以把你的教授当作练习对象。如果你赞美别人得当，对方会觉得你较为聪敏:在校园内能有丰厚的回报，在工作中更显其效。

Use the career center. These people are experts at positioning you in the workforce and their only job is to get you a job. How can you not love this place? If you find yourself thinking the people at your college's career center are idiot it's probably a sign that you really， really don't know what you're doing.

第十二，好好利用求职中心。这些专业人员会帮你在劳动市场中找准定位，他们的唯一工作就是帮你就业。你怎能不爱上这个地方?如果你觉得在大学求职中心里面的人是傻子，那很可能是因为你根本不知道自己在干什么。

Develop a strong sense of self by 13)dissing colleges that reject you. Happy people have a more durable sense of self and aren't as 14)buffeted by outside events. When bad things happen， don't take it personally. This is how the most successful business people bounce back quickly from setbacks.

第十三，增强自我意识，敢于鄙视那些没有录取你的大学。快乐的人拥有更持久的自我意识，不容易被外界的事情击倒。当不幸的事发生，不要往心里面去。大多数商业成功人士就是这样从挫折中迅速重拾自信的。

Get rid of your perfectionist 15)streak. It is rewarded in college， but it leads to insane job stress and an inability to feel satisfied with your work.

第十四，戒掉完美主义的脾性。在大学，力求完美会使你有所回报，但在工作中则会产生令人抓狂的工作压力，并使你无法对你的工作产生满足感。

Work your way through college. Getting involved in student organizations count and so does feeding children in 16)Sierra Leone or sweeping floors in the chemistry building. Each experience you have can grow into something bigger. A great bullet on the resume for a junior in college.

第十五，大学期间要积累工作经验。投身到学生组织中行得通，到塞拉利昂救助饥荒中的儿童或在化学楼里清洁地板也行。你所经历的每一种体验都有聚沙成塔的作用。对于一个大学新生来说，这些举动在你的履历上是光彩的一笔。

Make to-do lists. You can't achieve dreams if you don't have a plan to get there.

第十六，列出行动清单。没有计划你是不可能实现自己的梦想的。
