成為有團隊精神的人
For many, working isn’t pure pleasure. People need to deal with not only the work itself but also the complicated interpersonal relationships in the office. Sometimes, there are hostile co-workers who just seem polar opposite from the rest and impossible to deal with.
對許多人來說，工作並不是純粹的享受。大家除了需要處理公事，還要應付辦公室複雜的人際關係。有時候公司裡會有不友善的同事且跟所有人風格天差地遠，相處起來非常困難。
pleasure(n.)享受deal with處理(事情)=handle; deal with與人相處=act towardcomplicated(adj.)複雜的interpersonal(adj.)人際的hostile(adj.)有敵意的=unfriendlypolar opposite from…與…天差地遠的
Having one of those colleagues may seem miserable but, according to LinkedIn, there are several ways to make things easier if you’re willing to change.
有這種同事可能感覺很淒慘，不過根據LinkedIn指出，如果你願意改變，有幾個方式可以改善情況。

First, you can zero in on the possible reasons that make the teamwork challenging. If you have had previous unpleasant experiences working together, now is the time to let go of the grudge and focus on the tasks at hand. Remember, raking over the ashes will only make you more miserable rather than improving the circumstance.
首先，你可以集中精力找尋讓你們很難共事的原因。如果你們先前有不愉快的合作經驗，現在是放下舊恨專注在眼前工作的時候了。記得，翻舊帳只會讓你更不好受，而不會改善現狀。

Second, although people tend not to see their own faults, reflecting on themselves does help in this situation. Ask people around you if there’s anything you can do better, whether it is to be more accountable or punctual. Constructive feedback can take both your job and professional relationships to a new level.
其次，雖然大家大多很難看到自己的缺點，自我反省在這個情況下卻有助改變現況。問問身邊的人自己有哪裡可以改進，無論是你應該要更可靠或是更守時。建設性的回饋可以幫助你在工作及職場關係上更進步。

In addition, being actively helpful can start a new chapter between you and these colleagues. In fact, offering a helping hand makes you a team player and exposes you to new skills. These advantages may come along as you improve your relationships with the annoying teammates.
此外，主動幫助別人可以讓你和惱人同事的關係開啟新頁。事實上，對同事伸出援手能讓你成為有團隊精神的人，也能讓你接觸到新的工作技能。當你改善和討人厭的同事的關係時，這些好處都會隨之而來。

Feeling ready to step out of the comfort zone? As the experts in LinkedIn encourage, possessing a “growth mindset,” meaning you’re willing to challenge the status quo, makes it more likely to achieve the goals because you’re not afraid of changes. Try these methods and you may find a not-so-cute colleague more likable.
準備好要接受這些挑戰了嗎？如同LinkedIn專家所鼓勵的，擁有願意挑戰現況的「成長心態」能讓你更容易達成目標，因為你不害怕改變。試試這些方式，說不定你會發現那些不太可愛的同事不再那麼令人討厭。
