1.Think about what you are good at. Are you good at mathematics? English? Baseball? Playing with little kids? Counting sheep?

    充分利用自己的長處。你或許擅長算數，籃球或英語，這都是你的優勢，好好發揮利用。

    2.Decide whether you would like to further that area. Would you like to deal with numbers all day long? Write a book? Play major league baseball? Become a teacher or daycare helper? Put sheep…um…on walls?

    找到自己的興趣點。你是否喜歡自己的長處？你喜歡整天和數字打交道么，你喜歡寫書么？

    3.Find a way to incorporate that subject into your job. If necessary, get a new job with more relation to that area. For example, there may not be many openings for a major league baseball star, but for a baseball coach? Go check your town's local Little League!

    把自己的興趣與工作聯系起來。盡可能找個和自己的興趣很好整合的工作。

    4.Do your job carefully and well. Your job is not busy work at all- it should be important to you and to the people employing you.

    認真工作。工作時的表現對你自己和老板都很重要。

    5.Forget about what you're bad at. There is time to deal with that later.

    揚長避短。不用過于在意自己的短處，盡力改善。

    6.You might not be able to find a job that you can practice your expertise at. That's okay: you can do some of it in your spare time, or find a group of friends to do it with.

    如果工作與自己擅長的領域沒有太大的關系，那么請利用好業余時間。

    7.If you are under eighteen, you can most likely find a job as a "helper" with other businesses, be a tutor, or work in the childcare business, such as babysitting or being a mother's helper.

    如果你還沒到18歲，找一份簡單的工作，打個下手。

    8.If you can't think of anything you are particularly good at, try new things. But be careful not to skip around too much; you can end up becoming directionless.

    如果你不知道自己擅長什么，那么好好想想，多多嘗試新的事物，不要讓自己失去方向。

    9.Do not accept a job below minimum wage, no matter how small the job is.

    無論工作多么簡單，絕不要做低于平均工資的工作。

    10.If your main goal in a job is to earn lots of money, this may not be for you. Teachers don't usually earn a lot, and Little League coaches often work for free. Take a minute to readjust your perspective and try to make doing something you like your main priority.

    不要把金錢當作唯一的目標。這樣人生就失去了意義，應該把眼光放遠，多做自己喜歡和擅長的事情。
