Make the Choice：做出选择
In facing down real-world workplace situations, be forewarned that energy maintenance and manipulation aren’t always as easy as a quick self-audit and a couple of deep breaths. Energy and attitude can slump for any number of legitimate reasons, and there are times when it seems almost impossible to get your energy where you want it. You have a newborn who sleeps in a crib in your room and awakes every two hours for feedings.
在面对现实世界中的工作环境时，请注意，能量维护和操纵并不总是像快速的自我审核和深呼吸那样容易。出于种种正当理由，精力和态度可能会低落，而且有时候似乎几乎无法将精力放在所需的位置。您有一个新生儿，她睡在房间的婴儿床上，每两个小时醒来喂一次奶。
You were out late the night before and are feeling it today. You are disengaged because you are overwhelmed by the sheer volume of work you have to do. You are down because a project isn’t going well. You may actually be ill, and it’s not impossible that you could be so physically exhausted that your body mighthave trouble responding to requests for mental energy. You may feel your low-energy, negative frame of mind is a rational response to the circumstances you find yourself in—and you may in fact be evaluating those circumstances with absolute accuracy.
您前一天晚上很晚才出门，今天感觉到了。您之所以脱身，是因为您对要做的大量工作不知所措。您之所以失望，是因为项目进展不顺利。您实际上可能生病了，而且并非不可能，身体如此疲惫，以至于身体可能无法顺应精神能量的要求。您可能会感到精力低落，消极的心态是对遇到的情况的理性反应，实际上，您可能会以绝对的准确性评估这些情况。
However, if you allow your reasons for not performing at your top level to dictate your emotional and psychological response to your peers, your team, and your work environment, you are unnecessarily ceding the power to manipulate your energy and attitude.
但是，如果您允许自己不以最高水平表现的原因决定了您对同龄人，团队和工作环境的情感和心理反应，那么您不必要地放弃了操纵精力和态度的权力。
It can be extremely difficult to make adjustments in your energy at times, but it’s important to remember that it is possible to try. Even in difficult circumstances you are the one in charge of your attitude and energy.You have control over them, and you can always decide what to react to and how to react to it.
有时很难调整自己的能量，但请务必记住可以尝试。即使在困难的情况下，您也是负责您的态度和精力的人，您可以控制它们，并且始终可以决定要对什么做出反应以及如何对其做出反应。
Understand too that energy can be fabricated—not fabricated as in “faked” as much as in mindfully constructed. Adjusting your energy up doesn’t mean you force yourself into a good mood. Sometimes you can’t authentically be in a good mood: the pipes have burst at home; you left the house angry with your spouse; your phone was eaten by your neighbor’s angry alpaca. There are a thousand valid stresses and distractions, but they are only excuses to let crappy non-work-related events dictate the way you behave in specific, work-related circumstances.
也要了解可以制造能量的方法，而不是像假造的方法那样精心制造的方法。调整精力并不意味着您会强迫自己进入良好的情绪。有时您无法真正保持心情愉快：管道在家里破裂了；你让房子生了配偶；您的电话被邻居的愤怒的羊驼吃掉了。有上千种有效的压力和干扰，但它们只是借口让糟糕的非工作相关事件决定了您在特定的，与工作相关的情况下的行为方式。
You can make a concerted effort to refocus, check your attitude, and get in the right mental state to work, especially if the outside stresses won’t help you get a positive outcome at work. Emotional dips happen to everyone, but there is a very thin line between an excuse and an abandonment of choice. Always make the choice to get your job done the way you want to get it done.
您可以齐心协力，重新集中精力，检查自己的态度，并以正确的精神状态进行工作，尤其是在外界压力无法帮助您在工作中取得积极成果的情况下。每个人都会发生情绪低落，但是借口和放弃选择之间的界限很窄。始终选择以完成工作的方式完成工作。
For individuals or groups the point is not to force a fake level of energy; it is to recognize the current energy level and decide whether that level is going to get the job done or whether it needs to be adjusted. Some people do function better at a low simmer, and some are at their best in roiling boil. Whatever the case, respect energy and understand that you can do something about it.
对于个人或团体，重点不是强加虚假的能量；它是识别当前的能量水平，并决定该能量水平是否可以完成工作或是否需要进行调整。有些人在慢炖的情况下表现更好，而另一些人则在煮沸时表现最佳。无论如何，都要尊重能量并了解您可以为此做些事情。
