女性忠告：給年輕女性的20條忠告

“So, my unsolicited advice to women in the workplace is this. When faced with sexism, or ageism, or lookism, or even really aggressive Buddhism, ask yourself the following question: ‘Is this person in between me and what I want to do?’ If the answer is no, ignore it and move on. Your energy is better used doing your work and outpacing people that way. Then, when you’re in charge, don’t hire the people who were jerky to you.”

“這些話(huà)你可能不愛(ài)聽(tīng)，但我還是覺(jué)得有必要提一下。當(dāng)你在工作場(chǎng)所遇到性別歧視、年齡歧視、以貌取人的狀況，甚至是極端佛教徒時(shí)，你不妨問(wèn)自己這樣一個(gè)問(wèn)題：‘這家伙會(huì)妨礙我工作嗎?’如果你的回答是‘否’，那么你大可直接無(wú)視他。一個(gè)人的精力是有限的，所以你最好把心思花在怎樣干好你的工作上，這才是你勝出的關(guān)鍵。等你坐上了管理層的位子，記得別雇傭那些曾經(jīng)欺負(fù)過(guò)你的傻帽兒。”
