Should you charge friends for advice?
帮朋友忙要不要收钱
Are you the divorce attorney everyone calls with their marital woes? The accountant who finds that the dinner conversation inevitably turns to whether or not your friend's new iPad or trip to Bermuda is tax-deductible? Maybe you're the techie whose friends and parents' friends call repeatedly with questions about uploading photos to the cloud or sharing videos online.
身为离婚律师,是不是每个人都给你打电话咨询他们的婚姻危机?身为会计师,你是不是发现晚餐的谈话不可避免地转向你朋友的新款iPad平板电脑或百慕大之旅可以免税的话题?又或许,你是位技术专家,你的朋友和父母的朋友会反复打电话,询问如何上传照片到云盘或者分享在线视频?
It's great to be an expert in your field, and it's flattering to be asked for your opinion or advice, but sometimes people cross the limits of personal and work-life boundaries. Just because Jonas Salk gave away the polio vaccine for free and Craig Newmark refuses to charge for Craigslist, you don't have to be a philanthropist too. As altruistic as you may be, you don't have to provide unlimited counsel to friends and family around the clock. You should be helpful when you can, but you are entitled to put meaningful limits on the pro bono advice you dish out regularly.
成为你所在领域的专家感觉不错,别人征求你的意见或建议也让你颇为得意,不过有时候人们越过了个人交往和工作与生活平衡的界限。不能因为乔纳斯•索尔克免费提供脊髓灰质炎疫苗,克雷格•纽马克拒绝对Craigslist网站收费,你也必须当个慈善家。你也许大公无私,但是不必全天候为朋友或家人提供无穷无尽的建议。你应该在你力所能及的时候提供帮助,但是你有权为你日常提供的无偿建议加上有益的限制。
