從印第安納波利斯500英里大賽賽車手學得的職業(yè)課程

If you don't follow car racing, you might not be aware of the magnitude of the event that's taking place today (weather permitting). This year's Indianapolis 500 is the 100th running of what some claim is "largest single-day sporting event in the entire world." The purse this year tops $13 million, and 33 drivers are competing for the winner's share of about $2.5 million. But these potential millionaires have more in common with you, the working person, than you might think.

如果你不關注汽車比賽，你或許就不會意識到今天(天氣條件允許)這一賽事的重要性。印第安納波利斯500英里大賽被一些人稱為是“世界上最搭的單日運動賽事”，今年是舉辦的第100次大賽。

For instance, these things are true both for career professionals and race car drivers:

例如以下這些，真正適用于職業(yè)專家以及賽車手：

You start winning the race before you ever reach the track.

在你還未到達軌道上之前，你就已經開始取勝了。

Driving is a sport, but we don't think of it as being an athletic pursuit. That's wrong.

賽車是一種運動，但是我們認為賽車并不符合運動精神。這是錯誤的。

Jeff Richter, trainer for driver Conor Daly, says that exercising during the off season makes drivers better.

杰夫·里克特是賽車手康納·戴利的教練，說在淡季的時候運動讓賽車手狀態(tài)更佳。

"When they can operate at a better heart rate, they can make better decisions," Richter tells WISH TV. "They can be more about their wit, they have the strength and fitness to withstand all the repeated forces from turns."

里克特告訴WISH TV記者“當賽車手能夠將自己的心率控制在更好的狀態(tài)之下的時候，他們就會做出更好的判斷。他們就會充分發(fā)揮自己的才智，他們就會擁有忍受所有轉彎過程中不斷沖擊力的力量和健康體質。”

You're better at your job when you're fit, too, and not just in the physical sense. When you continue your education, bridging your personal skills gaps, you make yourself into a stronger professional.

當你身體健康的時候，你的工作狀態(tài)也會好起來，這不僅僅只物理的身體健康。當你繼續(xù)接受教育，縮小你的個人技能差距的時候，你就能讓自己變得更加專業(yè)。

This is also why it's a good idea to know how much you're worth on the job market, even if you're not looking for work right this minute. What you do in your "off season" helps you when you get to the track. Prepare now, and you could win big later.

即使你在這一刻沒找工作，這也是為何“知道自己在就業(yè)市場上的價值”是一個好主意的原因。在“淡季”的時候所做的事情，能夠在你回到軌道上的時候，給與你很大幫助。現(xiàn)在就開始準備，那么你在將來就會有更大的成就。
