Seems like cats are all the rage these days, what with Grumpy Cat memes going viral and cat videos popping up all over the Internet. But cats aren't just a source for endless entertainment; they also have a lot to teach us about the daily grind. Here are a couple of them to start with:
近来喵星人仿佛“侵略”了地球，不爽猫图集和各种喵星人视频在网上像病毒般地疯传。但是，猫咪们可不仅仅是无限娱乐的源泉，它们还能就日常琐事教会我们很多道理。下面我们就来向喵星人讨教讨教：
1.Don't be an eager beaver. Cats generally aren't people pleasers. They don't hang onto your every word and constantly want affirmation via pets from you. They take the affection they want, then walk away when they're satisfied. At work, trying to please everyone will let others easily take advantage of you. It also hurts your relationships because you can't please everyone, and someone will likely end up getting hurt. And if you're always trying to get affirmation, you may constantly be fishing for compliments from your colleagues, which can get on people's nerves. Be assertive and confident about your abilities and the work that you do.
1.别去讨好卖乖。喵星人很少会去讨好人。它们不会对你唯命是从，也不会像其他宠物一样一再地想从你这里得到认同。喵星人只想得到它们想要的宠爱，一旦它们感到满意了，就会自己走开。在工作中，想要讨好所有人的人往往轻易被利用。而且这种做法也会有损你和同事的关系，因为你不可能让所有人满意，总有人会受伤。如果你总是想要得到别人的认可，那么就相当于在向同事邀赏，这会给同事造成压力。要坚信自己的能力和自己所做的事情。
2.Groom yourself. Look your best, and you will feel your best. Cats groom themselves well and are pretty clean animals. Having good hygiene and looking polished will definitely help your image in your company.
2.打扮自己。当你把自己打扮得合适得体，你的自我感觉也会更好。喵星人是很爱干净的，经常会整饰自己。养成良好的卫生习惯，精心打扮自己肯定对提升你在公司的形象大有帮助。
3.Teach yourself and take initiative. Don't always wait for someone to teach you something before making an attempt. Cats are rare creatures in that they take to toilet training like a pro. Use the litter box approach in your career — take the initiative to perform tasks and learn skills on your own.
3.自学并提高主动性。不要连尝试都不敢去做，光等着别人来教你。喵星人是极少数能经过训练后自己去上厕所的动物。给你自己的职业生活也放个小盒子吧。在工作上要主动去完成任务，技能也要自己去学。
4.Learn from your mistakes. Cats get frightened easily, and because they have a good memory, they tend to remember the scary incidents and try to avoid them. once a mistake is made at work, we should work to rectify and learn from it, then try our best not to make the same mistake again.
4.从错误中吸取教训。喵星人很轻易受惊，因为它们记性很好，它们会记得曾经遭遇过的恐怖经历并且避免再犯。在工作中，一旦犯错就要学会如何去补救并从错误中吸取教训，尽力不再犯同样的错误。
5.Notice cues. It's amazing how alert cats are with certain cues, such as the sound of opening a can of food. It's a good skill to have when interacting professionally. Picking up on body language cues is especially important when you aren't familiar with the person, such as when you're interviewing.
5.察言观色。喵星人对于某些事情特别警醒，比如打开食物罐子时发出的声响。在工作中与人交流时就要有这种察言观色的能力。如果你与对方不熟，比如在面试的时分，你就需要特别注意对方的肢体语言。
6.Get enough sleep. Seems like you can learn a thing or two in snoozing from cats — felines sleep about 16 hours a day. Many of us say that sleep gets in the way of work, but getting enough sleep will help us be more efficient with our time and get more done in less time.
6.保证充足睡眠。也许你能从酣睡的喵星人身上学到点东西。猫科动物一般每天要睡上16小时。但是我们很多人会觉得，睡觉会影响到工作。现实却是充足的睡眠能够让我们工作得更有效率，用更少的工夫做更多的事。
