Before you can make it anywhere,you have to make it there.

段落翻译： Before you make up your mind about which way to go, take a hard, honest look at your motivation for starting a company. Too many people are looking to get rich, escape the corporate grind, and work shorter hours with more free time. None of those reasons is likely to lead to success. If you are focused on solving a customer problem or need, believe you can do what you do better than anyone else, dying to work long hours, wear many hates, and juggle endless responsibilities, then you have the right startup mindset. You also need certain personality traits. One of them is a willingness to work very hard all by yourself, at least for the first year or so (and possibly longer).

re properly grounded at the shore.

M: What do you mean by that？

W: I mean your canoe should be secure enough so that the moment you get in it, it doesn't float away on you.

M: But you wouldn't want it to be too grounded, would you？ Otherwise, it's a lot of work to push it from the shore.

W: Right, so try to have it parked securely enough that a simple shove from your paddle is all it takes to get you offshore.

M: What if the currents keep pushing you back to shore, after you've pushed off？

W: In that case, you may wish to "go with the flow" and let it glide you along the edges until you come across an area where you can push towards the center.

M: OK, got it. So, can we get in and get going？ I am dying to try out an Eskimo roll.

W: All right, but there are still some other tips I have to remind you of. For example, do you remember what you should never do when you're pushing off？

M: Yeah, I remember. Never lean forward. Always lean away from the shore. Let's just get out there so I can practice my Eskimo roll.

W: Come on Stan, as they say--walk before you run.

M: See you on the other side of the shore.

W: OK. Good luck!

M: Thank you again!

How to Argue with Your Boss

（1） Before you argue with your boss， check with the boss"s secretary to determine his mood. if he ate nails for breakfast， it is not a good idea to ask him for something， even without the boss"s secretary， they are keys to timing: don"t approach the boss when he"s on deadline; don"t go in right before lunch， when he is apt to be distracted and rushed; don"t go in just before or after he has taken a vacation.

（2） If you"re mad， that will only make your boss mad. Calm down first， and don"t let a particular concern open the floodgates for all your accumulated frustration. The boss will feel that you think negatively about the company and it is hopeless trying to change your mind. then，maybe he will dismiss you.

（3） Terrible disputes can result when neither the employer nor the employee knows what is the problem the other wants to discuss. Sometimes the fight will go away when the issues are made clear， the employee has to get his point across clearly in order to make the boss understand it.

（4） Your boss has enough on his mind without your adding more. If you can"t put forward an immediate solution， at least suggest how to approach the problem. People who frequently present problems without solutions to their bosses may soon find they can"t get past the secretary.

（5） To deal effectively with a boss， it"s important to consider his goals and pressures， if you can put yourself in the position of being a partner to the boss， then he will be naturally more inclined to work with you to achieve your goals.
