你为什么喜欢你的工作（下）

Tom Sullivan, studied at California State University, Chico
I like my current job for a lot of reasons, but one above all others really stands out. I like it because it keeps me incredibly motivated to keep working hard and striving for success.
How, you ask, does one stay incredibly motivated to work hard and strive for success on a regular basis? The biggest part of the answer, but not all of it, is that my work is highly incentivized.
I work in software sales. It is a new career for me, but six months in now I realize it is the perfect fit. What I didn't like about all my old jobs was the downtime, the boredom between projects, and the stress when things got really busy or really difficult. I also didn't like getting the same paycheck every two weeks, i didn't keep me motivated and it was pretty boring.
In sales, I can always be doing something to create more opportunities for myself. Because my work is incentivized, and because I get paid for what I sell, I am always looking to create more opportunity or learn more skills. I also get really excited when good things happen, and know that when someone tells me 'no', there are tons of other people I could talk to in order to get that 'yes.' In fact, I accept that I will have to go through many 'nos' to get to a 'yes' and I actually enjoy that process.
n, and in sales you have to win to survive. This makes it so that you absolutely have to keep evolving, keep finding new strategies and tactics, and coming up with new ideas, to win big and win often.
I like sales because 'I eat what I kill,' as the saying goes. I get paid out on what I win for my company and myself. In order to get success in this environment, I must perform, and perform at my best, at all times.
If I could sum it up into one sentence about why I like my current job this would be it: I like being in software sales because I earn my living based on my success, which incentivizes me to perform well, constantly learn and evolve, and make me a better and smarter version of myself in the process.
My job is awesome. If you have the right mindset, the ability to dream big and the desire to win, sales is really an amazing opportunity. Don't listen to all the negative stuff people say about sales, if you can succeed in sales you can succeed in life.

我喜欢我现在的工作有很多原因，但最重要的一个原因确实很突出。我喜欢它是因为它让我保持难以置信的动力，继续努力工作，为成功而奋斗。
你会问，一个人是如何保持令人难以置信的动力去努力工作，并为要成功而奋斗的？答案的最大部分，但不是全部，是我的工作有高额绩效。
我在软件销售部工作。这对我来说是一个新的职业，但六个月后我意识到这是最合适的。我不喜欢我所有的旧工作是它们不是停工就是赶项目，以及当事情变得非常繁忙或非常困难时的压力。我也不喜欢每两周拿一次同样的薪水，让我没积极性，这很无聊。
在销售方面，我总能为自己创造更多的机会。因为我的工作是有动力的，因为我卖的东西能得到报酬，所以我总是希望创造更多的机会或学习更多的技能。当好事发生时，我也会非常兴奋，我知道当有人告诉我“不行”的时候，为了得到“行”，我可以和很多其他人交谈。事实上，我接受这样一个事实：我必须经历许多“不行”才能得到“行”，我真的很享受这个过程。
在销售行业中，必须赢才能生存。这就使得你必须不断发展，不断发现新的战略和战术，提出新的想法，才能赢得大的胜利，并经常获胜。
我喜欢销售，因为俗话说“我吃我杀的东西”。我为我的公司和我自己赢得了什么，我就得到了什么回报。为了在这样的环境中取得成功，我必须在任何时候都做到最好。
如果我可以用一句话来概括为什么我喜欢我现在的工作，那就是：我喜欢从事软件销售，因为我靠自己的成功谋生，这激励我表现出色，不断学习和发展，并使我在这个过程中成为一个更好、更聪明的自己。
我的工作很棒。如果你有正确的心态，有远大梦想的能力，有获胜的欲望，销售真的是一个了不起的机会。不要听人们对销售的负面评价，如果你能在销售中成功，你就能在生活中成功。

Sanya Kuttan, Software tester at Techplus (2020-present)
I am a software tester, so my job responsibilities involves following steps:
a.) Understand the new software from developers
a.) Create Test cases
b.) Perform each test case and find software errors(bugs) if any.
c.) If i find a bug then co-ordinate with developers, mark it as QA Fail.
d.) Even if the software is working fine as per requirement, co-ordinate with developers and show them all the test cases, and confirm if any test cases is missing. Then mark as QA Pass.
e.) Once, the product is deployed on live, then make sure to test and confirm everything is working fine on live environment.

我是一名软件测试人员，因此我的工作职责包括以下步骤：
了解开发人员的新软件；
创建测试样本；
执行每个测试样本，并查找软件BUG（如果有）；
如果我发现了一个bug，然后与开发人员协调，并将其标记为QA失败；
即使软件按照要求正常工作，也要与开发人员协调，并向他们展示所有测试样本，并确认是否缺少任何测试样本。然后标记为QA通行证。
一旦产品上线，然后确保测试并确认所有的工作都在现场环境中正常工作。

1.)Office location:My office is in Ahmedabad only, and i live with my family and a decent amount gets credited into my bank account everymonth. Neglecting hardships of daily commute by bus for 22 days in a month for 23 kms everyday, i enjoy my bus ride too. Even when i get back home i am left with hardly any household chores to complete.
2.) Morning shift: I had worked for the previous 2.5 years with an Healthcare IT industry sacrificing my precious night sleep. My current job time is from 10 am to 7pm so i am left with much time even after my job. I get ample time to spend with my family. I get good time and spend with my family watching comedy shows, discussing office stories, investment plans and many more.
(Actually, I was even able to watch WC2019 tournament with my papa which is a childhood ritual and happiness.)
3.)Happiness: Every morning i wake up with immense happiness, willingness, enthusiasm to reach office as i get to do a job which i wished for since long.Even if i recall or recollect each day in my current office, there has never been a day when i reluctantly left for office, or unwillingly worked on any task the organization.
4.)Friends: I am blessed with small, but intellectual team comprising developers, designers and software testers working in unison. We do have our seldom set of arguments and debate sessions among each other but ultimately support each other in times of necessity.Co-incidentally i also happened to meet my school friend, Shree(nostalgia) in my office premises and we take our lunch together, recollecting childhood stories.

办公地点:我的办公室在艾哈迈达巴德，我和我的家人住在一起，每个月都有一笔可观的钱汇入我的银行账户。抛开一个月22天每天坐23公里公交车的辛苦，我也很享受我的公交之旅。即使回到家，我也几乎没有什么家务活要做。
早班:在过去的两年半时间里，我在医疗保健IT行业工作，牺牲了宝贵的夜间睡眠时间。我现在的工作时间是从早上10点到晚上7点，所以即使在工作之后我也有很多时间。我有足够的时间和家人在一起。我有充足的时间和我的家人一起看喜剧节目，讨论办公室故事，投资计划等等。事实上，我甚至可以和爸爸一起观看WC2019锦标赛，这是一种童年的仪式和快乐。
幸福:每天早上我都带着无比的幸福、意愿和热情去上班，因为我得到了一份我渴望已久的工作。即使我现在回忆办公室里的每一天，也从来没有哪一天是我不情愿地去上班，或者不情愿地在公司里做工作的。
朋友们:我有幸拥有一个由开发人员、设计人员和软件测试人员组成的小而有智慧的团队。我们彼此之间很少有辩论和争吵，但最终在必要时彼此支持。巧合的是，我也碰巧在我的办公室遇到了我的同学Shree(怀旧)，我们一起吃午饭，回忆童年的故事。

5.) Applause/Acclamation: I am blessed with a good manager who greets me with smile, listen my queries, provide solutions calmly and often acknowledges my good work. He had already appreciated and recognized my work in front of whole team.
His exact words:Sanya have been taking care of all certifications, integration and few client and team mails single-handedly from past 15 days without much assitance from anyone.
6.)Respect: Every member of technical department let it be developer, designer or software tester is treated with tremendous respect and admiration. We also help other teams by dissecting logs,and if required we do interact via email with hoteliers to finally conclude the concern.
7.)Salary:My previous jobs paid me well but no respect or acknowledgment. Actually i never liked my job in previous offices and was forced and stuck to just collect monthly salary. That is not the case in my current job, though i earn less but it would not be wrong if i say to “Having a whale of time”.
8.)Holidays:I get leaves on alternate saturdays, i. e. Second and fourth saturday of every month. Hence, was able to resume my hindustani music classes and get 6 good days in a month to help my mummy in household chores. I get enough time to complete my other work and also to learn about new technologies.

我很幸运地拥有一位好经理，他微笑着迎接我，倾听我的疑问，冷静地提供解决方案，并经常认可我的出色工作。他已经在整个团队面前欣赏和认可了我的工作。
他的原话是:三亚（Sanya ）在过去的15天里一直在独自处理所有的认证、整合以及少量的客户和团队邮件，无需任何人的帮助。
尊重:技术部门的每一个成员，无论是开发人员、设计人员还是软件测试人员，都受到极大的尊重和钦佩。我们还通过分析日志帮助其他团队，如果需要，我们会通过电子邮件与酒店经营者沟通，最终得出结论。
薪水:我以前的工作报酬不错，但没有得到尊重或认可。事实上，我从来都不喜欢以前的工作，仅仅为能拿月薪被迫工作。在我目前的工作中，情况并非如此，虽然我挣得更少，但如果我说“玩得很开心”也没有错。
假期:我每隔一个周六还可以休假，即每个月的第二个和第四个周六。因此，我能够恢复我的印度斯坦音乐课程，并在一个月里有6天时间，帮助我的妈妈做家务。我有足够的时间来完成我的其他工作，也学习新技术。

9.)Bugs: We assume and believe that it is always easy to point other’s mistakes but not in our case. When a bug is discovered, we inform concerned developers and, for sure most of the time developers will never agree with software testers at first and may engage in a healthy debate session. But, then all is well that ends well, right? So, a small argument or even debate is good if our motive is to deploy a software with least errors/bugs.
10.)Meetings:Our manager/Team lead conduct a 30 minutes scrum meeting everyday. Everyone is questioned about their current tasks, time frx expected to complete tasks. I found it very important for a smooth work environment.
11.) Knowledge: We use different software tools like Postman, Json editor, etc. and i get to learn something new everyday. Interactive session with developers is always intellectual. The way they come up with logical solutions for any situation/error is commandable. We teach, practice and encourage and equally grow towards our goal which is undeniably the reason behind laurels for my organization even after good 20 years.
12.)Freedom:Freedom to explore the software without any restrictions. No fear of laws, no futile monthly assessments to judge my software compliance knowledge, no more one on one sessions even if any mistake. Freedom to test by accessing any software module, but with sheer alxness to prevent any major blunder.
There are many good things about my company and colleagues and i can go on and on but i would conclude for now.

错误:我们认为指出别人的错误总是很容易的，但我们却不是这样。当一个错误被发现时，我们会通知相关的开发人员，当然，大多数时候开发人员一开始不会接受软件测试人员的意见，他们可能会参加一个健康的辩论会议。但是，结果好就一切都好，对吧?所以，如果我们的出发点是部署一个错误/bug最少的软件，一个小的争论都是好的。
会议:我们的经理/团队领导每天都会举行30分钟的scrum会议。每个人都会被问到他们当前的任务，完成任务的时间范围。我发现这对于一个顺利的工作环境非常重要。
知识:我们使用不同的软件工具，如邮件，Json编辑器等，我每天都在学习新的东西。与开发人员进行互动总是需要智力的。他们对任何情况或错误都能提出合乎逻辑的解决方案。我们引导，实践和鼓励，并朝着我们的目标健康地成长，这无疑是我的组织即使在20年的良好发展之后仍然获得桂冠的原因。
自由:不受任何限制地探索软件的自由。不用害怕法律，不用每月参加徒劳的评估来判断我的软件合规性知识，即使有任何错误，也不用通过一对一的会议解决。通过访问任何软件模块进行测试的自由，但要保持绝对的警惕性，以防止任何重大错误。
我的公司和同事有很多优点，我还可以继续说下去，但我想先做个总结。

Steven Horne, Affiliate Marketer/ Affiliate Marketing Mentor
Yes, I do and I’ll tell you why. But first, let me explain to you want I do.
So, I am an affiliate marketer. I get paid to promote other people’s stuff in small commissions. Right now, I have ads running on several different social media platforms so all I really have to do is check them often to make sure they’re each performing well.
That part of what I do is fun, I enjoy that. However, there’s something that I recently started to do that I enjoy even more: helping others learn affiliate marketing.
This makes for an interesting dynamic because people who sign up to learn affiliate marketing are often skeptical of what can be done with it, so I’ve sometimes take challenges just to prove to them it can be done. And this makes for some fun events.
So far, I’ve shown them  I’ve even shown them how you can use Facebook to make $1,000 in a week. But now, I have two challenges that will take longer, but I have no doubt I can pull through.
So, not only am I able to share what I love to do with other people, I’m able to show them in real-time it can be done and how to do it; eliminating the fear that holds so many backs.
Plus, I use the money I earn from them enrolling to learn new things, then I just come back and teach them what I’ve learned after testing it myself. That means I’m able to do something else I love to do and that’s learning new things.
I’m lucky to be able to change the lives of so many and I would trade this for anything in the world.

是的，我喜欢，我会告诉你原因。但首先，让我向你解释下我想做的。
所以，我是一个联盟营销人员。我通过推销别人的产品获得报酬。现在，我在几个不同的社交媒体平台上播放广告，所以我真正要做的就是经常检查它们，以确保他们的表现都很好。
我做的那部分很有趣，我很喜欢。然而，最近我开始做的事情我更喜欢：帮助别人学习关联营销。
这是一种有趣的动态，因为注册学习关联营销的人往往对可以做什么表示怀疑，所以我有时会接受挑战，只是为了证明它可以做到。这会让一些有趣的事情发生。
到目前为止，我已经向他们展示每天可以赚100美元，我甚至向他们展示了如何使用Facebook一周赚1000美元。但是现在，我有两个挑战需要更长的时间，但毫无疑问我能克服。
所以，我不仅能和别人分享我喜欢做的事情，我还能够实时地向他们展示它可以做到、如何去做；消除了那些阻碍了很多人的恐惧。
另外，我用他们注册的钱来学习新东西，然后我回来教他们我自己测试后学到的东西。这意味着我能够做一些我喜欢做的事情，这就是学习新事物。
我很幸运能够改变这么多人的生活，我会用这个来换取世界上任何东西。

Vinay Pateel, Factories, Startups, Music Festivals, Govt - Worked it all.
My job is weird.
What kind of a job is that?
I was educated to become an engineer. I worked as an engineer too, for 3 years. That was 7 years ago. My heart was not in it.
I decided to abandon that life and choose a new life. I have always been good at creating. Art and design come naturally to me.
So i told myself I'm a graphic designer. And then i told the world I'm a Graphic Designer. I got paid to be that.
Then i told myself I'm an illustrator. And then i told the world I'm an Illustrator. I got paid to be that.
After that i told myself I'm a painter. And then i told the world I'm a Painter. I got paid to do that.
Then i told myself I'm an installation artist. And then i told the world I'm an Installation Artist. I got paid to do that.
Then i told myself I'm a creative director. And then i told the world I'm a Creative Director. I got paid to do that.
Then i told myself I'm a video maker. And then i told the world I'm a Filmmaker. I'm getting paid to do that now.
I've generalised and written the above statements for the sake of convenience. It is all true though. I couldn't get into the details since it would make the answer long and irrelevant.
All of it may sound easy and glamorous, but i work my ass off in order to be what i want to be. There is always a price to pay for what you want.
I do whatever the fuck i want to, and get paid for it.
So, yes, I LOVE my job.

我的工作很奇怪。
我想做什么就做什么。
我被教育成为一名工程师。我也做过工程师，干了3年。那是7年前的事了。可我的心不在这上面。
我决定放弃那种生活，选择一种新的生活。我一直很擅长创作。从事艺术和设计工作对我来说很舒服。
所以我告诉自己我是个平面设计师。然后我告诉全世界我是一名平面设计师。我就是靠这个赚钱的。
然后我告诉自己我是个插画家。然后我告诉全世界我是一个插画家。我就是靠这个赚钱的。
在那之后，我告诉自己我是个画家。然后我告诉全世界我是个画家。我就是这么做的。
然后我告诉自己我是个装置艺术家。然后我告诉全世界我是一个装置艺术家。我就是这么做的。
然后我告诉自己我是个创意总监。然后我告诉全世界我是创意总监。我就是这么做的。
然后我告诉自己我是个视频制作人。然后我告诉全世界我是个视频制作人。我现在就是靠这个赚钱的。
为了方便起见，我归纳并写下了上述陈述。不过这都是真的。我不能说得太详细，因为那会使答案变得冗长而无关紧要。
所有这些听起来简单又迷人，但我为了成为我想成为的人而拼命工作。你想要的东西总是要付出代价的。
我想做什么就做什么，还能赚到钱。
所以我爱我的工作。

Brian Good, I used to run 7 loads simultaneously at the laundromat.
I usually like my jobs at first. Usually I’ve been living very frugally between jobs, so the first paycheck allows me to address some of my accumulated deprivations. If you never drove a farm tractor before, that can be fun for a while even if you don’t feel that you want to be a tractor driver for the rest of your life.
The key to job satisfaction is to identify the skills that are so rewarding to you that you will do that work for free, and then try to find a job employing those skills. For instance, I really like writing at Quora.
The book “What Color is your Parachute” suggests that you write an essay cataloging the achievements in your life and describing what you found satisfying about them.
Another factor in job satisfaction is the work environment. I like investigative work, and my best-paid job involved investigations that were very important to my bosses. But though I liked the work, I was surrounded by the kind of clerks who lack curiosity, and value above all neatness and order and conformity. I’m more a thrive-on-chaos kind of guy. The work environment was not satisfactory.
One way to find job satisfaction is to accept the fact that you will not find a slot that engages your aptitudes, but you can work to support a cause that you believe in—education, health care, enterprising start-ups, charitable organizations, social change groups—so that even if the work itself is tedious you find some satisfaction in the ultimate outcome. I like writing at Quora because I like putting forth information that I consider to be very important, and I like helping people sort out their thoughts, their feelings, and their options. That suggests that I would enjoy teaching or counseling or customer-service work.

我通常在开始阶段都喜欢我的工作。通常情况下，我在两份工作之间的生活非常节俭，所以第一份薪水可以让我解决一些积累起来的困难。如果你以前从来没开过农用拖拉机，即使你不想一辈子都当拖拉机手，那也会很有趣。
工作满意度的关键在于确定哪些技能对你来说是有益的，以至于你愿意无偿工作，然后试着找一份使用这些技能的工作。比如，我非常喜欢在Quora上写作。
在《你的降落伞是什么颜色》一书中，建议你写一篇文章，对你生活中的成就进行分类，并描述你对这些成就的满意之处。
另一个影响工作满意度的因素是工作环境。我喜欢调查类工作，我薪水最高的工作涉及对我的老板非常重要的调查。虽然我很喜欢这份工作，但我周围的职员都缺乏好奇心，他们最看重的是整洁、秩序和一致性。我更倾向于在混乱中成长。因此工作环境不理想。
找到工作满足感的一个方法是接受这样一个事实:你不会找到一个能发挥你才能的职位，但你可以支持一项你相信的事业，包括教育、医疗、创业、慈善组织、这样，即使工作本身很乏味，你也能在最终找到一些满足。我喜欢在Quora上写作，因为我喜欢发布我认为非常重要的信息，我喜欢帮助人们整理他们的想法、感受和选择。这表明我喜欢教书、咨询或客服工作。

Brian Dennis, Unemployed/Medically Disabled (2018-present)
I'm only 31yo and hope that someday I'll find a way to get better and be able to go back to the workforce. I'm 100% Permanent and Total under VA disability, so the retirement pay ain't bad. But even with that, not working, isn't my favorite job.
No, my favorite job was working as a Paper Sheeter in Washington state. Only 6–8 people in a large warehouse per shift and all i had to do was watch a machine cut paper and change out operations on it every now and then. I was making almost $70k a year, being my own supervisor, listening to Audible, and only worked 8 hour days. With that came a nice apartment, easy bills, a great environment for doing stuff on weekends, a loving wife, a 750+ credit score, and easy vehicle payments. I'd still be doing it today if my disabilities didnt start getting in the way. Being disabled has been the worst. Besides the actual symptoms, it's the limitations. Had to quit my job and move back home with my parents. My wife never came back from her visit home to Sweden and we ended in divorce. I retaliated by giving into an old addiction of gambling destroying my credit and racking up debt. Not being able to pay the debt on time involving constant phone calls from collections so my account is constantly overdrawn trying to pay back debt. Making payments on a car that I can't drive due to missing insurance payment at time and hitting a deer, hell I don't even have a bed because when I moved I had to get rid of everything to make it home. Now let me tell you about my actual disabilities. I have PTSD, narcolepsy, sleep walk, act out dreams involving yelling, fighting, and taking my clothes off. Physically I have arthritis in most of my joints including Deteriorated disk Disease of my back, and my hands are getting number and weaker each day and the va schedules appointments months away so treatment is a joke. Everyone always says “I wish I didnt have to work, thatd be awesome", no, it's really not, not if the trade off is what I had/have to go through. And honestly, compared to other disabled people i don't even have it that bad. Sure our circumstances are what we make them, but believe me I wasnt planning this all out. I got here hoping things would eventually get better, but so far I've hit every branch of “fuck me" on the way down to where I'm at now. I can only say that I've probably reached the bottom or close to it by now, so there's only the way up from here. 

我只有31岁，我希望有一天我能找到一种方法变得更好，能够回到劳动力市场。我是退伍军人事务部的永久雇员，所以退休金不错。但即便如此，不工作也不是我最喜欢的状态。
我最喜欢的工作是在华盛顿州当纸工。一个大仓库里面每班只有6-8个人，我所要做的就是看着机器切纸，然后时不时地更换操作。我一年挣了将近7万美元，是我自己的主管，听音乐，每天只工作8个小时。随之而来的是一套不错的公寓，轻松的账单，一个适合在周末做事的好环境，一个充满爱的妻子，750+的信用评分，以及可以轻松支付车辆费用。如果不是我的残疾开始阻碍我，我今天还在做这件事。残疾是最糟糕的。除了实际的症状，还有局限性。我不得不辞掉工作，搬回家跟父母住。我妻子再也没有从瑞典的家回来，我们最终离婚了。为了报复，我染上了赌博的恶习，毁掉了我的信用，债台高筑。由于不断接到催收电话，我无法按时偿还债务，因此我的账户经常透支，试图偿还债务。我还得为一辆我不能开的车付款，因为我没交保险，还撞了一只鹿，该死的，我甚至没有床，因为我搬家的时候不得不扔掉所有东西才能回家。现在让我告诉你我真正的残疾情况。我有创伤后应激障碍，嗜睡症，梦游，做梦时大喊大叫，打架，脱衣服。身体上，我的大部分关节都有关节炎，包括我背部的椎间盘疾病，我的手一天比一天虚弱，所以治疗是一个笑话。每个人都说“我希望我不用工作，那太棒了”，不，这不是真的，老实说，和其他残疾人相比，我的情况并没有那么糟。当然我们的处境是我们造成的，但是相信我，我并没有计划好这一切。我来这里是希望事情最终会好起来，但到目前为止我在来这里的路上遇到了很多"操我"的人。我只能说，现在我可能已经到达谷底或接近谷底了，所以从这里只有往上一条路了。
