閱讀暖身開始懷疑自己是否勝任現在的工作，或只是在工作上遇到低潮嗎？在你決定轉換跑道前，不妨先傾聽內心真實聲音，來場私密對話。進入文章前，請先想想下列英文怎麼說：A.達成期望 B.低潮期 C.堅持

Over the last few weeks, a lot of powerful women have talked about the significance of knowing when to walk away from ventures that no longer feel rewarding. At the end of September, for example, we watched as Blake Lively gracefully and humbly announced the shutting down of her lifestyle site Preserve, which she ultimately didn't feel (A)lived up to its original mission of "making a difference in people's lives." Not long afterward, we learned that our favorite funny lady, Amy Schumer, walked away from a $1 million book deal because she knew she deserved more-and ultimately landed an $8 million book deal.

過去數週，不少有名望的女性公開談論選擇退場時機的重要性，以適時擺脫熱情不再的「現任」。舉例來說，就在2015年9月底，美國女星布蕾克‧萊芙莉低調宣佈結束她的生活時尚網站Preserve，因爲它無法達成她「改變人們生活」的心願，不如選擇優雅退場。就在此事不久，美國的另一位人氣俏妞艾米‧舒默也拒絕一份100萬美元的書約─最終她獲得了800萬美元的酬勞。

While we don't have Blake or Amy's cell-phone numbers, we do have the ultimate questions to ask when dealing with a similar, should-I-walk-or-should-I-stay job dilemma. Compliments of millennial career coach Ashley Stahl, if you answer "no" to two or more of these questions, Stahl says it's time to have an honest conversation with yourself and consider moving on. If you answer "no" to one (or none)? Don't walk away yet-you might just be going through a temporary (B)rough patch.

雖然無法現場連線布蕾克或艾米爲我們開導，但我們精心設計的問題一樣不會少，能幫助你在職業生涯進退維谷之際，再給自己一次機會，重新審視自己的內心。有千禧世代職涯導師之稱的艾希莉‧施塔薾誠摯建議，待會以下6題，如果有兩題以上你的回答都是「不」，那你可以認真考慮是否轉換跑道了；但如果只有一題（甚至沒半題）能讓你說「不」呢？那先別急着辭職-因爲你可能只是遇上職業生涯的低潮期。

1.Is This Experience (1)Serving Me? 這份工作經歷對我是否有任何助益

What are you gaining from your current role? If the answer is "not much," it may be a sign that it's time to walk away-but not without analyzing what, if anything, you enjoyed during your time with the company. "Understanding those benefits can translate into a much better fit in your next step," said Stahl.

這份工作是否讓你獲益良多？如果你覺得「沒什麼收穫」，那也許正是時候轉換跑道了-但也別忘了回顧過去在公司的點點滴滴，重拾美麗的回憶。記住，要讓那些美麗回憶轉換成正能量，幫助你在未來的道路上，步伐更堅挺。

2.Are There More Opportunities For Growth? 我是否能從這份工作獲得學習和成長的機會

This question is especially important for those who are still new to the job. Things may not feel right just yet, but remember that you're still adjusting. Think about the future of your current gig: If you can see opportunities for learning and growing, you owe it to yourself to keep exploring this new step in your career.

對於入行不久的新手而言，這更是一個值得深省的問題。......
