What should you think about in trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.
Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metal work or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills.
If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it.
If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job. Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is bitter to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.

5 Ways to Focus Your Energy During a Work Crunch Work invariably ebbs and flows,cycling between steady states,where we feel more in control of the pace and workload,and peak periods,where the difficult work situation hits us hard.Unexpected setbacks or even vacations and holidays can create disorder and tension.Maintaining focus and managing energy levels become critical as tasks pile onto an already full load.When you're in your next work crunch,there are a few things you can do to focus and manage your energy more productively:41.When an acute period hits,it's easy to resist the fact that it's happening.We wish for things to be like they were last month,or we long for the pace we had during vacation.By not being present to the here and now,we drain our energy by pondering on the situation.In fact,physicists define resistance as"the degree to which a substance or device opposes the passage of an electrical current,causing energy loss."In the case of a diffcult work situation,the more you oppose what's happening,the more energy you lose.Acceptance does not mean giving in.On the contrary,it means acknowledging the reality of the situation with awareness so that you can take clear action.42.Acceptance is particularly difficult given the underlying emotions that an acute work crunch can bring.Negative thoughts often predominate.David Rock,director of the NeuroLeadership Institute,suggests that,rather than suppressing or denying an emotion,an effective cognitive technique is labeling,whereby you take a situation and put a label on your emotions.By assigning a word to what's happening,such as"pressure","guilt",or"worry",Rock's research shows.you can reduce the arousal of the limbic brain's fight-or-flight system and instead activate the prefrontal cortex,which is responsible for our executive funcLioning sk川s.43.A research out of the Universiry of Pittsburgh shows that anxiety directly impacts our cognitive functioning,especially those areas responsible for making souncl decisions.Don't fall into a victim mentality.believing there are no choices or that you don't have control.Instead,bring greater vigilance to assessing your priorities,making tough trade-offs,and incorporating self-care where you can.44.Other people can be a real energy drain-or gain-during work crunches and set-backs.Pause and consider how you can renegotiate deadlines,set tighter bounciaries,or ask for more support during this time.Many of us pride ourselves on not bothering others and being self-reliant.The.se are great qualities,but there are times when we need to ask for help.Ask your loved ones for more help on the home front.Share the weight of the accountability for projects with your colleagues by delegating or teaming up,versus doing it all on your own.45.Probably the toughest thing of all during a work crunch or setback is how easy it is to beat yourself up,especially when you aren't hitting your high standards for work,Annie McKee,author of the forthcoming book Howio Be Happy at,Work,says this:"If you really want to deal with stress,you've got to stop trying to be a hero and start caring for and about yourself."45选？

A.Communicate with your colleagues and loved ones
B.Stop thinking any unrealistic things
C.Accept the situation
D.Preserve your sense of choice
E.Control your negative emotions
F.Observe and label your underlying emotions
G.Practice self-compassion
