1. Listen more than you talk. Soak up information about how the organization works, and the reasons why, before you offer "helpful" alternatives.
少說多聽。潛心研究公司運營方式，探究箇中緣由，以便日後提出“合理化”的建議。
2. Don't segregate yourself with people in your age group. Get to know older workers too. Your peer group may be more fun for happy hours, but those coworkers who are a decade or more older than you can possibly help with your career. (And you might find out you enjoy their company too!)
別光顧著跟同齡人打成一片。與同齡人相處可能讓你快樂多多，但也不要忘記結識年長的同事。那些大你十歲以上的同事很可能會在工作中幫到你。(而且你可能會發現與他們相處同樣令人愉快!)
3. Don't become part of a workplace clique. As much as you might like some coworkers, you should maintain professional boundaries. Don't get drawn into gossiping, and don't take on other people's workplace battles just because you consider them friends. Too many young workers have harmed their own careers by focusing on chitchat over work, or by deciding to dislike the boss just because a coworker does.
不要拉幫結派。你可能對某些同事有好感，但要保持工作界限。不要散佈流言蜚語，不要參與其它人的辦公室爭鬥，即使你拿他們當朋友。隨意評論工作中的人與事已經毀了太多年輕員工的職業生涯。因為同事不喜歡老闆，所以自己也決定不喜歡，這樣做法也同樣不可取。
4. Take mistakes seriously. There's nothing more frustrating than an employee who made a mistake and doesn't seem to think it's a big deal. When you make a mistake, immediately take responsibility for it, figure out how you're going to fix it, and make it clear that you understand its seriousness. Responses like "my bad" or worse, no response at all, signal that you don't take work seriously.
認真對待錯誤。員工犯了錯誤，卻不以為意，這是最讓人沮喪的。犯了錯誤，要勇於承擔責任，想法設法彌補過失，讓別人清楚，你知道這很嚴重。像“都怪我”或“我的錯”這樣的回答，或乾脆什麼都不說，說明你根本沒把工作放在心上。
5. Take notes. Your boss expects you to remember the specific instructions you were given—and that includes nuances, not just the overarching idea. For most people, that means taking notes. And while a good manager is happy to answer questions, she won't be if the questions are ones she already answered when you weren't bothering to pay attention.
記筆記。老闆期望你記下接受的詳細指導——不僅是框架，還要包括細枝末節。對大多數人來說，只有記筆記才能做得到。優秀的管理人員樂意回答你提出的問題，但如果你已問過此類問題，而且沒有用心去記，情況就不同了。
6. Don't use social networking sites or instant-messaging with friends throughout the workday. When you're at work, you should focus 100 percent on work. There's no quicker way to make a bad impression than to be spotted on Gmail or IM’ing with friends when you should be working.
不要在工作時間，登入社交網站或即時聊天軟體跟朋友閒聊。工作時，要把注意力100%的集中在工作上。在工作中被人看見在Gmail或即時通訊工具上與朋友閒聊，
