When it comes to your career, it's okay to not choose the 'best' option available; what matters is that you should choose the best option for YOURSELF. It doesn't make you a failure, despite how people might make you feel. Remember, this is your life and you have control over it.
Sometimes the best thing you can do for your career growth is to simply take a leap of faith. Many of us have realized that we can’t continue in our current careers, but there's no need to be discouraged! The pandemic has also opened a lot of opportunities for careers in different fields. In these challenging times, it's important to keep learning and growing your skills. Keep seeking jobs that matter. Keep seeking work that matches your passion and purpose in life. Don’t settle. There is hope. With the help of partners like JobStreet, you can find a job that matches your passion and purpose.
Take a minute to sit down and think of a skill you have that might be under-utilized. You'd be surprised to find that you’re actually good at something you’re not familiar with. Who’d expect me, a Chemical Engineering graduate who started my career as in Fraud Analysis for a financial institution, to have now become a Creative Director for a fashion brand? It’s been a roller coaster ride, but I’m glad that I’ve learned a lot during my journey.
Never give up and keep learning! Explore new skills! If you're looking to pick up new skills that will help in your careers, JobStreet has collaborated with FutureLearn to offer free courses available for redemption. These courses are absolutely free, so sign up and take that step to challenge yourself to learn something new and apply for your dream job! I'm hopping on their Digital Marketing course to know more about how content design can be more relevant to my business, and how it can attract more sales.

creative learning jobs 在 AppWorks Facebook 的最佳解答
Interview with A Founder: Conor McLaughlin (Co-founder of 99.co)
By David Wu (AppWorks Associate)
Conor McLaughlin was previously the Co-founder and CTO of 99.co, the real estate marketplace in Singapore and Indonesia. He spent six and a half years at the startup, whose backers include Sequoia Capital, 500 Startups, and Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin, helping to grow it into a $100 million company. As a member of AppWorks Accelerator #21, he is currently working on his next big project, a yet-to-be-named language learning startup.
【What advice do you have for first-time founders?】
First, you need to decide: do I want to run a sprint or a marathon? For a sprint, you may be open to acquisition from the beginning, delay non-startup aspects of your life, give yourself two years where you drop everything to test an idea, choose to raise more money earlier on and thus be more diluted, or do anything else that implies a shorter time horizon. Typically 1-5 years - this can lead to a major boon in a short period of time if executed well. If you decide you are in the sprinting business, you will most likely be pushed toward binary outcomes because of how many investors and employees you have on your cap table. As a first-time founder, you need to be clear with yourself on what you are willing to put on the line. As Reid Hoffman says, it’s like jumping off a cliff and building a plane on the way down… hopefully you build a plane in time.
If you are running a marathon, you are deciding that your competitive advantage is consistency over intensity. You are in this for 10, 15 years. With this time horizon, you will realize you need ways to metabolize stress and maintain emotional, spiritual, and mental health. You need to maintain relationships with friends, family, and romantic partners. When you are looking at this 10 year period, you realize the people around you can only put up with so much. Unfortunately, while work is something people can generally bounce back from, there are many things in life where you cannot - an example is your relationship with your partner. If you’re going to run a marathon, you need to be clear with yourself about what time you have for other aspects of your life and what time you have for your company. Eventually you need to learn what the right speed is where you can run as long as possible. It’s amazing how often it is that those people that keep going, assuming you have chosen the right problem to solve, eventually find daylight. Part of that is just lasting long enough.
Second, you need to revisit and continually ask yourself: should I still be running a sprint or a marathon? Circumstances change. Maybe you sprinted for the first two years to secure interesting results and funding; now it's time to transition to a marathon and clean up the life debt a bit. Or inversely, maybe you're finally leaving the trough of sorrow and it's time to sprint for a bit. Most founders will be in a long distance race with periodic sprinting. From my observation, founders most often stop because of two reasons: They either A) run out of money or B) run out of energy. There’s plenty of advice out there for scenario A (hint: don’t). But in my experience, scenario B is far more pernicious and dangerous to would-be successful founders. If you are in a marathon but fail to pace yourself and run it like one long sprint, you are unlikely to make it to the end.
Much founder advice speaks to this: Don’t let your startup make you fat. Exercise 5-10% of the time. Pick up a hobby outside of your startup. Go home for holidays. All of it leads back to one thing: You need to take care of yourself. Because injury will be far worse for your progress than being a little slower. “Slow is smooth, smooth is fast”, as the US Navy Seals say. This is surprisingly difficult advice for intrinsically motivated founders to follow, because in the event of failure, it makes them vulnerable to the thought, “Well, you didn’t work hard enough.” But for those that already have the hustle, your job is to avoid the moment of epiphany where you look in the mirror and think, “This isn’t worth it.”
All founders will have to sacrifice some things. The point is to not sacrifice everything. It will make you more resilient. Not less. It will give you the space to see situations more objectively and make better decisions. And most importantly, it will let you love what you do because it will remind you that the work isn’t just in service of yourself, it’s in the service of others. I do not think you can judge hard work over a day, or even a year, but I do think you can judge hard work over 5-10 years. Hard work is not just about the next 1-2 months. There will be times when you need to run as fast as possible, but if that is happening all the time you are probably not being smart about the situation. So don’t hurt yourself, be consistent, keep disciplined, and keep going.
Lastly, focus on your metaskills. Public speaking, reading, writing - skills applied in every aspect of your life. Generally what they reflect is learning how to think better. As a founder you need to think about - how can I think more clearly, be more creative, rigorous, analytical? As Warren Buffett and others have said: I have never seen a successful person that did not read as often as they could. Actual books and long form scare a lot of people. That’s your competitive advantage. Read blog posts from smart people, follow smart people on Twitter, listen to podcasts. Always be focused on how you can develop yourself to think better. Fostering the habit of improving your thinking will foster discipline in yourself. And discipline will let you turn that rigorous thinking into action.
【I imagine running the “race” has been especially tough this year. How have you gotten through 2020?】
I have leaned on routine and community. I’ve spent a lot of time trying to foster discipline in myself. I make my bed every morning, meditate every morning, make sure that I go to the gym 3-4 times a week. There’s so much uncertainty in both the world and the entrepreneurial space. Keeping certain things consistent gives me a spine to my life that I can fall back on. If I’m not feeling well, my discipline takes over and I’ll go to the gym. That helps me relieve stress - falling back to routine and having some mainstays of consistency and structure.
And community - it’s been the big mental health zeitgeist of this year. Everyone is recognizing that without the people around us, our mental health diminishes. Joining AppWorks was very intentional so I could surround myself with like-minded people who could question me, hold me accountable, and inspire me. And also just forming personal connections where I felt that I was still taking care of my mental health by connecting with others. Being a founder is an incredibly lonely journey. In the early days, there’s not a lot of people around. Later, when you do hire lots of people, you need to be the boss, the leader - for certain things, you can’t tell the employees everything, and even if you do, there will always be a bit of distance. You need people to relate to - people want to be seen for who they are, and appreciated for what they give. When you are a founder, sometimes it’s hard to feel that you are seen. So I intentionally put myself in situations where I can be inspired, be held accountable, and more importantly connect with others, and feel that I’m not alone. And that me and my co-founders are part of a communal journey with those around us.
【When you talk about how to run the race, I get the sense that you’re drawing from previous experiences and, perhaps, mistakes. What are the mistakes you’ve made in your founder journey and the takeaways?】
I think you could take a calendar, point to a random week, and we could list out all the mistakes from that week (laughs). I do subscribe to Steve Jobs’ philosophy: mistakes will happen, but mistakes happening means we are making decisions. Not making decisions is perhaps the biggest mistake. It’s often the reason for frustration, loss of speed, loss of momentum - so many of the issues you encounter in startups. Not making enough mistakes is probably the #1 mistake that I’ve made.
Second, going back to my advice to first-time founders, is not understanding what game I’m playing. Not understanding that all the money in the world is not going to be worth it if your spouse or partner decides to leave you because you have relegated them to a second-class citizen in your life. I think I forgot that at points. There is more to life than just the company.
Third, be careful about who you choose to work with. At minimum, if you’re doing a standard 8-9 hours at the office five times a week, that’s a lot of time with those people. You want to like the people that you work with - you want to know they’re high integrity, you want to respect their values, and you want to have common values. Choosing the right people that give you energy rather than take it away just makes running the marathon so much easier.

The Chinese entrepreneur said he was "quite optimistic" about AI and thought it was nothing for "street smart" people like them to be scared of. "I don't know man, that's like famous last words," responded Tesla's chief.
在上海舉行的世界人工智能大會上,馬雲表示,他對於人工智能「較為樂觀」,並且認為像他們這樣有「生活智慧」的人不應該害怕。而特斯拉創始人馬斯克卻說:「兄弟,我不確定,但是這聽起來像那種著名的最後遺言。」
6. remain optimistic 保持樂觀
7. street smart 適應都市生活的,具有都市生存智慧的 ; 在實際的生活經歷中得來的智慧
8. famous last words 著名的最後遺言

The two did, however, agree on one topic: that one of the biggest problems the world is facing is population collapse. Their 45-minute conversation kicked off the World AI Conference (WAIC), which ties into China's goal of overtaking the US to become the world's leading artificial intelligence innovator by 2030.
不過,作為當今世界其中兩個最有影響力的科技產業領袖,兩人在一個問題上倒是有共識:世界面監的其中一個最大問題是人口的萎縮。馬雲和馬斯克進行的45分鐘對話,成為世界人工智能大會的開場。這次會議契合了中國想要在2030年之前取代美國領導世界人工智能革新的目標。

10. kick off 開始
11. tie into 結合成一體,(使)配合得當,(使)有聯繫
12. leading artificial intelligence innovator 領先/領導的人工智能創新者

Mr. Ma focused much of his comments on how machine learning could act as a force for good. He said it was something "to embrace" and would deliver fresh insights into how people think. "When human beings understand ourselves better, then we can improve the world better," he explained. Furthermore, he predicted AI would help create new kinds of jobs, which would require less of our time and be centred on creative tasks
馬雲認為,有學習功能的機器如何能夠成為一種正面的力量。他說,這是一件值得「歡迎」的事情,能夠給人們帶來新的想法。「當我們人類更加了解自己的時候,我們就能夠讓世界變得更好,」他說。除此之外,馬雲預言,人工智能將會創造更多新的工種,從而節省我們的時間,將人類可以更集中於創造性的工作。
13. focus (sth) on sb/sth 集中,特別關注
14. a force for good 善良力量
15. insight into 對….深刻的見解
★★★★★★★★★★★★
By contrast, Mr. Musk suggested that mass unemployment was a real concern. "AI will make jobs kind of pointless," he claimed. "Probably the last job that will remain will be writing AI, and then eventually, the AI will just write its own software."He added that there was a risk that human civilization could come to an end and ultimately be seen as a staging post for a superior type of life.
相反,馬斯克則認為,大規模失業將會是一個實實在在的問題。「人工智能會令職位變得有點無意義,」馬斯克說。「很可能最後剩下的工種就是給AI寫程序,然後最終,AI還是自己編寫自己的軟件。」馬斯克還表示,人類文明可能因此而終結,並且最終將成為更高級生命體的墊腳石。

17. a real concern 實實在在的問題
18. make…pointless 令…變得無意義

To avoid such a fate, he said we needed to find a way to connect our brains to computers so that we could "go along for the ride with AI" - something he is trying to achieve via one of his latest start-ups. Otherwise, he cautioned, AI would become weary of trying to communicate with humans, as we would be much slower thinkers in comparison.
馬斯克表示,為了避免這樣一種命運,我們需要找到一種方法將我們的大腦連接到電腦上,讓我們能夠「跟著AI走」——他正在試圖通過一家他最新建立的初創公司做到這一點。否則,他警告說,AI將會對試圖與人類溝通感到厭倦,因為相比之下我們的思考會比電腦慢得多。
21. to avoid such a fate 避免這樣一種命運
22. go along for the ride 跟著走;搭順風車;湊熱鬧
23. be weary of 厭煩,不耐煩;倦
★★★★★★★★★★★★
By contrast, Mr. Ma acknowledged that AI could now beat humans at games like chess and Go, but claimed computers would only be one of several intelligent tools that we would develop in time. Although Mr. Ma acknowledged that we needed to find ways to become "more creative and constructive", he concluded that "my view is that [a] computer may be clever, but human beings are much smarter".
相反,馬雲則認為,雖然AI現在可能在象棋和「精靈寶可夢」(Pokemon Go)等遊戲當中擊敗人類,但是他堅持認為,電腦最終只會是我們發展的多種智能工具之一。雖然馬雲承認,我們需要尋找方法來變得「更加有創造力和建設性」,但是他斷定,「我的觀點是電腦可能很聰明,但是人類還是會聰明得多。
24. acknowledge 承認;認可…屬實或存在
25. more creative and constructive 更具創造性和建設性
Mr. Musk responded: "Yeah, definitely not.
馬斯克對此回應說:「好吧,肯定不是。」
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Towards the end of the event the two men came together on one point - that concerns about overpopulation were misguided." Assuming... there's a benevolent future with AI, I think that the biggest problem the world will face in 20 years is population collapse," said Mr. Musk."I want to emphasize this, the biggest issue in 20 years will be population collapse, not explosion collapse." Mr. Ma said he was absolutely in agreement.
到最後,馬斯克和馬雲在一件事情上的觀點是一致的——對人口過剩的擔憂是一種誤解。馬斯克說:「假設……AI能帶來一個美好的未來的話,我認為20年後的世界面臨的最大問題將會是人口銳減。」「我想強調這一點,20年後的最大問題將會是人口銳減,不是人口爆炸。」馬雲表示,他對此完全同意。
26. come together on... 在…的觀點是一致的
27. misguide 誤導
28. a benevolent future with 美好/仁慈的未來
29. population collapse 人口銳減
30. be in agreement 同意
★★★★★★★★★★★★
