Few people are exactly where they thought they would be 20 years into their careers. Careers, like life, are full of twists and turns. Brains and an inviolable work ethic are table stakes in virtually every profession involving science. Beyond these basics, however, each of us brings our personal blend of talents and skills to creating a career. Some of us know exactly what we want and chart a direct course. Others are masters at seizing opportunities. Still others go with the natural flow of events. Since success and security can only come with time, begin by choosing your adventure. Follow your interests and passions. Radically rewrite your resume, network, take people to coffee, get out of your comfort zone. Sticking to the same things you've already tried simply means you travel the same path over and over. Stepping out into the unknown can be scary, but it can also lead to unexpected places. Take a look.
很少有人能够在职业生涯 20 年后达到自己预期的位置。职业和生活一样,充满了曲折。在几乎所有涉及科学的职业中,大脑和不可侵犯的职业道德都是基本要求。然而,除了这些基本要求之外,我们每个人都将自己独特的才能和技能融入到职业发展中。有些人非常清楚自己想要什么,并规划了一条直接的道路。还有一些人则善于抓住机会。另外一些人则顺其自然。由于成功和安全只能随着时间的推移而获得,首先要选择你的冒险。追随你的兴趣和激情。彻底改写你的简历,建立人际关系网,与人喝咖啡,走出舒适区。坚持做你已经尝试过的事情,就意味着你会一遍又一遍地走同样的路。踏入未知领域可能会令人害怕,但也可能会带来意想不到的收获。看看吧。
