　　Average is What Everyone Else Does

　　普通人就是跟其他人做一樣事情的那種人

　　I was chatting with a business colleague recently. He was frustrated that he had not advanced faster in his career. There was a sense of entitlement and much complaining. (I wanted to tell him that no one was going to give him his dreams.) Instead, I asked him a simple question about his job, “What are you doing that is above average?”

　　我最近和一位業(yè)務伙伴聊天，他很沮喪因為他的事業(yè)并沒有很快提升。他認為自己應該得到但事實上沒有，所以有諸多抱怨。(我想要告訴他沒有人可以幫他實現(xiàn)他的目標)然后，我只是問他了關于他工作方面的一個很簡單的問題，“你現(xiàn)在做的什么事情是普通人做不到的呢?”

　　In other words, what do you do that is better than everyone else?

　　換句話說，你做的事情是不是比別人做得更好呢?

　　There was more complaining and a statement about putting in more time than his peers. The conversation eventually ended, but I ran into the same individual a few days later. He came up to me and said, “I thought about that question. And you know what? I don’t do anything that everyone else doesn’t do. In fact, there are several people who could do my job.”

　　他反而抱怨更多了，而且說自己比同齡人投入了更多的時間。談話最終結(jié)束了，但我?guī)滋旌笥钟錾狭怂�。他走到我面前對我說，“我考慮了下你的問題。但你知道嗎?其他人不會做的任何事情我也不會做的。事實上，的確有一些人可以做我的工作�！�

　　He finished with, “I am average at work.”

　　他最后說，“在工作上，我只是個普通人�！�

　　Average is as Average Does

　　Choose Not to Be Average

　　選擇不成為普通人

　　The story above has another chapter. This particular individual told me that he had decided that he wasn’t going to settle for average anymore. He was going to choose to not be average in his daily performance anymore. Instead of going through the motions and doing what everyone else did, he was going to make a concerted effort to go above and beyond average.

　　上面講到的故事后來還有另一段。這個家伙告訴我，他決定將不再滿足于做普通人。在他以后每天的工作表現(xiàn)中，將不會成為普通的人。他將盡一切努力去超越普通的人，而不是走走過場，做其他人都能做的事情。

　　So, how do you choose not to be average? Here are 5 Ways to Choose Not to Be Average:

　　那么，你如何才能不成為普通的人呢?下面是五種方法教你如何不成為一個普通的人：

　　1. Have Goals – Average doesn’t have goals. Average doesn’t write them down. And average doesn’t make progress every single day without excuses. Make sure you have clearly defined goals and that you do something daily to move them forward.

　　2. Go Above and Beyond – Average does just enough to get by and nothing more. Average does what is expected and stops there. Go beyond people’s expectations and surprise them with results. (It is important to note that this is not always about the
