作为雅思考生，我们读外刊要有一定的目的性，不仅，仅是为了扩大我们的阅读面，还要有意识地针对雅思考试，提高自己的水平。本文的话，我们做了一些注释，主要帮助大家习得雅思口语，写作的知识。
As in the art world,so too in the world of work. Almost every career trajectory entails a complex sequence of steps, each of which depends on those preceding it. If any of those earlier steps had been different, the entire trajectory would almost surely have been different, too.
职场和艺术界是一样的。几乎每个人的事业轨迹都是由一系列复杂的步骤组成，其中的每一步都取决于前面迈出了什么样的步伐。如果早前的步伐中有任何一步是另外一个样子，几乎可以肯定，整个轨迹也会因之不同。

【犀利观点】规划的重要性：全段
Inevitably, some of those initial steps will have been influenced by seemingly trivial random events. So it is reasonable to conclude that virtually all successful careers entail at least a modicum of luck.
而在最初的步伐中，有些不可避免地会受到看似微不足道的偶然事件的影响。所以我们可以得出这样一个合理的结论：基本上所有成功的职业生涯至少都包含些许的运气成分。

One’s date of birth can matter enormously, for example. According to a 2008 study, most children born in the summer tend to be among the youngest members of their class at school, which appears to explain why they are significantly less likely to hold leadership positions during high school and thus, another study indicates, less likely to land premium jobs later in life.Similarly, according to research published in the journal Economics Letters in 2012, the number of American chief executives who were born in June and July is almost one-third lower than would be expected on the basis of chance alone.
比如，一个人的出生日期就可以产生非常大的影响。2008年的一项研究显示，大多数出生在夏天的孩子往往是班上最小的学生，而这似乎解释了为何他们在很大程度上不太可能在高中期间担任领导角色，因此就像另一项研究显示的，也就不太可能在以后的生活中获得优质工作。2012年刊登于《经济学快报》杂志(Economics Letters)的一项研究也显示，出生在6月和7月的美国企业首席执行官比单就概率计算应该出现的人数少了将近三分之一。
