2 . You’re suffering from a bad case of burnout, especially after you do the same work too many years. But try as you might, you can’t make you stay excited at your job.     1    

Keep an open mind.

It’s essential to be open to new opportunities when they come your way. Maybe it will be a once-in-a-lifetime chance to change yourself. As it turns out, you will succeed.

    2     .

My advice to anyone working to achieve long-term success, is to regularly step back, assess your progress and consider new experience that can help you grow professionally.     3    . So think about where your greatest professional development opportunities lie, and don’t be afraid to speak up if you aren’t actively addressing them. I’ve found that many new opportunities exist beneath the surface — all you have to do is — raise your hand and ask.

Step outside of your comfort zone.

Although the idea of reinvention may sound daunting (令人胆怯的), this can mean anything from taking on a new project, joining a new team or accepting a “stretch” assignment.     4    , and keep that professional spark well lit. And don’t wait. The pace of change is rapid, and you can’t sit on the sidelines.

Experience the payoff.

Wearing different hats or changing your position can keep you invigorated (精神焕发) about your job and better positioned to accept challenges or opportunities to come.     5    .

A．Set a realistic goal

B．Seek opportunities for reinvention

C．That can make it easier to see where you should go

D．I look on it as a process of continuous reinvention

E．Here are the tips that may help you to keep your energy up

F．This can open new doors that will greatly benefit you as your career progresses

G．Every change you make, big or small, can help drive your advancement

3 . If you’re young and trying to start your career, it’s important to remember two things: your _________ doesn’t prevent you and your achievements—no matter how big or small—should be celebrated.

At 22, I attended the largest book fair in the world and _________ foreign publishers who were more than double my age. I was met with a few surprised looks and some _________ about my age. I didn’t have the decades-long _________ that many of my predecessors (前辈) had, but this didn’t discourage me. I had the knowledge, I had the skills, and I had the _________.

When I was 18. I did four internships (实习工作). I understood their _________ and I did everything I could to make them worth my while. I asked questions and I thought. I _________ different industries, and I got the necessary _________ which finally led to a job offer.

You are never too young to get valuable experience in your favorite _________. Learning from experienced employees, volunteering, taking an online __________, or attending an industry event can be __________.

In college, I became friends with a group of highly successful women. We are of __________ ages, backgrounds, and career paths, but we have the same __________: to become authors. Instead of being competitive, we __________ each other. We share books and contests and __________ to meet publishers, and most importantly, we __________ failures. Each time we receive a rejection, we text the group. In doing so, we know that we aren’t __________, and that we’re in this together. Besides, we encourage each other to keep __________.
