别说自己失业了

晕，这不是一次AA制聚会。这样的开场白让我觉得窘迫，并为同来的人们感到抱歉。不知为什么，我觉得我必须帮助他们。我们两人之间的气氛变得很凝重。于是我告诉其中一位：“嘿，你不必说自己没有工作。说你正在求职。或者告诉别人你正在寻找一份自己喜欢的工作。”他立刻明白，笑了笑，觉得轻松多了。

You see, saying “I’m unemployed” tells people what you’re not. And, in this case, it communicates “I’m not employed.” To me, saying “I’m unemployed” sounds a little bit like you don’t feel like you fit in with the world. Look, my friends, your self-worth is not determined by your job.

你看，说“没有工作”是在告诉别人自己“不是什么”。此时，它传递的是“我没有工作”的含义。但是对我而言，它听上去有点像是你觉得自己没有融入这个世界。嗨，朋友们，你的自我价值不是由你的工作决定的。

I invite you to consider what really makes up your self-worth—like your caring heart, or your ability to stand tall in the face of adversity. But please know that you are not a social misfit just because some company has not decided to bring you on board. Or some organization decided to let you go. A company is not your family, believe it or not. So, if you don’t “belong” to a company, you’re still a living, breathing, talented human being.
