2.When you were in school, making a mistake on a test or a paper or handing in work late only affected you. But at work, mistakes can impact your boss, your co-workers and your company. People might end up staying late to fix your work, miss their own deadlines or lose important business because of you.

2.上学期间，你在考试、论文里犯的错和不及时上交工作只会影响到你一个人。但是工作后，你犯的错会影响到你的老板、同事和公司。大家可能会需要熬夜来修补你的工作的漏洞，结果错过了期限或者是重要事务。

3.Being smart and having potential is no longer enough; what you actually achieve is now what matters. In school, teachers often favor the smartest students and even cut them slack on things like being prepared for class or even on being respectful or working hard. But in the working world, reputations and careers are built on actual work; being smart won’t give you a pass if you miss deadlines, aren’t prepared for meetings or don’t meet your goals.

3.仅仅聪明、富有潜力还不够；你的实际工作才是现在最关键的。学校里，老师总是喜欢那些最聪明的学生，甚至在课前准备、品格和工作态度方面对他们放松要求。但是在工作中，声誉和事业要基于实际的工作。聪明的特点不会在你错过截止日期，或是没有对会议进行充分准备，或没有达成目标时给你特赦。
