怎样向职场成功人士"取经"

　　What Makes a Person Successful?

　　是什么让一个人功成名就？

　　What do you think of when you see successful people? Do you only see the results of their career success? Do you feel bad because you think you’re failing, since you’re not enjoying the same level of success?

　　看到成功人士时，你会作何感想？你是否只看到了他们成功事业的表面？你是否因觉得自己很失败而感到不快，因为你没有在享受同等程度的成功？

　　We don’t have a pensieve like Harry Potter’s Albus Dumbledore, allowing us to look into the successful person’s earlier career stages. We don’t see how they toiled away as a lowly worker, struggling to move up the corporate ladder. We don’t see the successful entrepreneur’s previously failed ideas they had before their successful one finally took off. We don’t see the barriers or self-doubt the successful person experienced that they had to overcome to reach their level of success.

　　我们没有《哈利·波特》里的阿不思·邓布利多所拥有的冥想盆来让我们查看成功人士的早期职场历程。我们无从知晓他们如何从一个无名小卒披荆斩棘，艰难地攀爬到公司领导的位置。我们无从知晓成功企业家在他们的成功举措得以奏效前有过怎样的失败想法。我们也无从知晓成功人士克服过怎样的阻碍或自我质疑才达到现在的成功水平。
