一些著名的心理学家说工作狂有一种自卑情结，自卑感导致过度的补偿行为。事实显然并非如此。自卑或缺乏自尊，用来描述懒惰更为确切，而不能用来描述敬业。 人们似乎尚未认识到，各方面兼顾，很难取得杰出的成就。爱迪生、福特、爱因斯坦和弗洛伊德都是一心一意地投入到工作中，为此他们牺牲了很多东西，包括家庭和友谊。有人指责说，工作狂因为没有尽到父母或配偶的义务而感到内疚。但是那些保持生活工作平衡的人同样也会产生负疚感。想想有多少“正常”人和中年人无所成就,一事无成——这些人没有取得本应取得的成就，而就此停止了进取。 Some famous psychologists say that the worka¬holic has an inferiority complex which leads to over¬compensation. This is certainly not the case. Inferior¬ity or low esteem, describes laziness more accurately than it describes dedication. We do not seem to realize that very little excel¬lence is achieved by living a well-balanced life. Edison, Ford, Einstein, Freud all had single-minded devotion to work whereby they scarified many things, including family and friendship. The accusation is made that workaholics beat guilt by not being good parents or spouses. But guilt can exist in the balanced life also. Think how many “normal” people and middle-ages who have never done anything well一they are going to settle for. |
