Don’t be afraid of being a little kaypoh

不要害怕有一点爱问问题

An attribute of Eros’ that he deems¹ vital for the workplace is an inquisitive² mind. “I always like to be updated on everything in my field and on my competitors,” he elaborated. “Always be curious and courageous³, or you could miss out on a lot of opportunities because you were scared to ask questions.”

艾洛斯的定义他认为对于办公室重要的是一个爱问的大脑。“我喜欢更新我领域的每一件东西和我的对手，”他解释道。“总是充满好奇和勇气，否则你会失去很多勇气因为你害怕问问题。”

For Eros, his chance comes whenever he organises an event for Giudi. “Every time we have an exhibition I speak with the people there to find out things that can really help me in the future.”

对于艾洛斯来说，无论什么时候他组织古蒂的事情他的机会就来了。“每次我举行展览会我会和那的人讲话来找出在将来有助于我的事情。”

Prove yourself to the sceptics

向质疑者证明你自己

As a twenty-something in such a high ranking position, Eros revealed that it was “difficult” at first when it came to folks who seemed to doubt his youth. “In the past, I could immediately tell when someone didn’t trust me because I was young,” he said.

20多岁的人却拥有这么高的地位，艾洛斯揭示一开始很“难”对于似乎怀疑他的年轻的家伙们。“过去，我会立刻证明我自己当有人不信任我因为我年轻的时候,"他说。

However, that never stopped him from speaking to people and proving that he knows the ropes. “When you say something that is correct and isn’t so stupid, people will start to take you seriously, and that even if you are young, you know how things go – this is why it is important to be curious and learn more things.”

然而，永远不要阻止他向人们证明他了解规则。“当你说正确的事而不是傻事的时候，人们会开始认真考虑你，即便你很年轻，你知道事情是怎样的-这就是为什么好奇和学更多的事情很重要。”

Go out and see the world

去外面看看世界

It’s no secret that travelling broadens⁴ the mind, which is why it didn’t surprise us when Eros named it as an essential activity.

毫无疑问旅行丰富大脑，这就是为什么我们不会惊讶当艾洛斯把它当做基本的活动。

“Some things are difficult to understand if you are always in the same place,” he said. “If possible, spend some time abroad to get to know how other minds and markets work. And of course, going overseas may present more opportunities to you as well.”

"如果你总在一个地方一些事情很难理解，”他说。“如果可能的话，花一些时间去国外来了解其它思想和市场是怎样运转的。当然，去国外也会给你更多机会。”

Have the right friendships

拥有正确的友谊

Relationships can make or break you. For Eros, having pals⁵ that supported his endeavours and were there to offer encouragement proved to be valuable. After all, no one wants to be surrounded by people who are constantly questioning you (unless what you’re doing is really questionable) or putting you down – as the old saying goes: with “friends” like those, who needs enemies.

关系会帮助你或者毁了你。对于艾洛斯，在他筋疲力竭时在那支持他的伙伴给予勇气证明是有价值的。毕竟，没人想被持续质疑自己的人或使你沮丧的人包围（除非你做的真的值得怀疑）-就像古谚语说的：伴随“朋友们”像需要敌人一样。

Don’t neglect your personal life

不要忽视你的私生活

As important as business is, “personal life and family are more important”, said Eros. While he acknowledged⁶ that it can be challenging to find space for your loved ones in the midst⁷ of a busy career, he stressed that one must make a conscious effort to take time out for them.

像做生意一样重要，“私生活和家庭更重要”艾洛斯说。尽管他承认在忙碌的事业中找到给你爱人的空间是有挑战性的，他强调人们必须尽力给她们留出时间。

Do what you like; like what you do

做你喜欢的，喜欢你做的

“If you do something that you like, I think there is a higher possibility of you achieving success. If you do not work with a passion, then it’s better to find another job.”

“如果你做了你喜欢的事，我认为你实现成功的可能性更高。如果你工作中没有热情，最好找另一份工作。”

Don’t spread yourself too thin

不要让你自己太瘦

It can be tempting⁸ to be a jack⁹ of all trades and an enterprising, multi-tasking do-it-all, but Eros advises against it. “If you can’t commit the right amount of time to a business, it won’t do well. For example, I love cooking, so opening a restaurant doesn’t sound like a bad idea, but if I don’t have time to commit to it [because of Giudi], then it might not do well,” he said. “It’s important to make sure you have enough time for your work.”

成为各领域的精英和一个有上进心的多面手是诱人的，但是艾洛斯建议反对它。“如果你不遵循会议的正确时间，事情不会办好。例如，我喜欢做饭，因此开餐馆听起来不像是一个坏主意，但是如果我没有时间去做[因为我的公司]，那么那可能不太好，'他说。“确保你有足够的时间是重要的。”

Be yourself (yes, seriously)

做你自己（是的，认真的）

We know, we know – it’s a cheesy, overused phrase, but as Eros explained, trying to be someone you are not will make things tough (it’s trying and tiring to keep pretences¹⁰ up all the time), and people can easily see past a lack of genuineness. “A person must be who he is – be confident in yourself!”

我们知道，我们知道-那是一个用烂了的短语，但是艾洛斯解释道，试着成为不会把事情弄棘手的人（尝试和累人的一直坚持托词），人们很容易看见过去缺少真诚。“人们必须是他自己-为你自己自信！”
