我很幸運,能跟喜歡的人們一起做真心熱愛的事。作為Kit and Ace聯合創始人兼創意總監,我有幸從事能發揮我最大價值的行業,所以保持激情不難。 設定目標并擔負起責任可以幫你活得更真實,并且確保你誠實面對自己。花點兒時間來寫下自己的個人和職業目標,明確想達到的目標,要盡可能詳盡。這能幫你把心思集中在愿景上,并確保生活的方方面面保持平衡。身邊要有能給你支持和激勵的人,他們總會盡可能激發你的積極性,鞭策你前進。對我來說,家人幫助最大。 我和別人共同創立Kit and Ace時,動力就是打造以誠實正直為基礎的工作環境。現在,我們的公司有一大批人才,和這么多才華橫溢的人一起奮斗讓我動力十足。我們的工作是追求功能性服裝的極致,共同為實現目標努力。看到在如此之短的時間里用材料實現種種創新,我激動不已,忍不住期待今后的廣闊前景,而且非常想保持前進的勢頭。 在工作以外,我從愛好中汲取動力,關鍵就在于保持積極。樂觀積極的心態幫我在生活的各個方面保持優秀。我把自己當成隱藏了身份的運動員,用健身房里的韌性、熱情和成功來對待生活。痛快地出一身汗或者在泳池里游幾個來回能讓我頭腦清晰,煥然一新。無論出門在外還是待在家里,我都會抽出時間鍛煉身體,保持好狀態并把注意力集中在重要的事情上。 首先,跟自己維持良好的關系至關重要。我很忙,而且我對自己的期望極高,很有挑戰。但我會提醒自己及時充電,可能是去健身房鍛煉,或是特地休息一下,我會設定很高的目標,然后慢慢接近最后實現。在生活或者工作中遇到難題時,問問自己能學到哪些東西,怎樣才能進步。這種“內部”對話會給我動力,并從變化中汲取動力,而不是受其約束。 (財富中文網) 譯者:Charlie 審校:夏林 |
The MPW Insiders network is an online community where the most thoughtful and influential people in business contribute answers to timely questions about careers and leadership. Today’s answer to the question: How do you stay motivated? is written by , founder of Kit and Ace I’m lucky to work side by side with the people I love while I pursue my passion. And as the co-founder and creative director at Kit and Ace, I’m fortunate to be in an industry that aligns with my core values, so it’s easy to stay inspired. Setting goals and holding yourself accountable will help you live an authentic life and ensures that you’re being honest with yourself. Take the time to write out both your personal and professional goals, and be specific about what you want to accomplish—down to the last detail. This will allow you to focus on your vision and ensures that you’re maintaining balance in all areas of your life. Surround yourself with supportive and inspiring individuals—those who constantly motivate you and challenge you in the best way possible. For me, that’s my family. When my co-founder and I started Kit and Ace, we were driven by the desire to create a work environment built on integrity. We now have an overwhelming amount of talent at our company, and it’s incredibly motivating to be around people of this caliber every day. We work to push the limits in technical apparel and hold each other accountable to what we set out to achieve. Seeing the innovation we have already accomplished with our fabrics in such a short time makes me excited for other possibilities in the future and eager to keep the momentum going. Outside of work, I draw motivation from my passions, and of them, staying active is key. It keeps me on top of my game in all areas of life. I think of myself as an undercover athlete—someone who approaches life with the same resilience, passion, and success applied in the gym—so a good sweat or a few laps in the pool allows me to clear my head and reset. Whether I’m traveling or just at home, I make sure to find the time so I can stay present and focus on my priorities. Above all else, it is paramount to make sure you have a good relationship with yourself. I lead a busy life, and the expectations I set for myself are incredibly high—and challenging. But by reminding myself to take a minute to recharge—whether it’s working out or just having a mindful pause—I can set ambitious goals and get closer to achieving them. When you’re faced with challenges—at home or at work—ask yourself what you can learn and how you can improve. This internal dialogue motivates me, and allows me to be inspired by change rather than limited by it. |
