When it comes to life very few things are certain.
在人生中,很少有事情是一成不变的。

It's the same when it comes to your career.
你的职业生涯也是一样的。

Throughout your professional life, you’ll continue to encounter change, big or small, positive and negative, voluntary and involuntary.
贯穿你的职业生涯,你将不断地遇到变化,无论变化大小,积极或是消极,自愿还是非自愿。

You can either actively resist it, or you can accept it and figure out what you can learn from, and how to, leverage the situation. 
你可以主动抵制它,也可以接受它并弄清楚自己可以从中学到什么,以及如何利用好它。

Here are 4 of the most common changes you can expect to see at work, and how to deal with it so you can continue to thrive in the workplace.
以下是你会在工作中遇到的四种最常见的变化,包括如何处理它们以便你可以继续在工作中茁壮成长。

Sometimes what the company looks like when you joined looks nothing like the company you’re still working at 2 years later. 
有时,你刚加入时公司的样子与两年后仍在为之工作的公司完全不同。

This especially common in a startup–which tends to start without structures and systems in place. 
这在初创公司中尤为常见,因为它们往往在公司架构和系统没有到位的情况下就启动了。

As the company scales, those things become necessary, and sometimes, it can change the company culture.
随着公司的扩张,这些东西变得很必要,有时候它们可以改变公司的文化。

The first step is acknowledging that structure isn’t necessarily a bad thing, and simply accept the fact that it comes with company growth.
第一步是承认公司架构不一定是坏事,你要接受它伴随公司成长这个事实。

In the case of Airbnb, for example, the home-sharing company found itself with far too many internal meeting as the company grew. Their solution? they started filming the meetings and editing them into digestible content–which solved a problem and got rid of unnecessary bureaucracy.
例如,就Airbnb而言,随着公司的发展,这家租房公司发现自己的内部会议太多了。解决方案是什么?他们开始拍摄会议并将其编辑易于理解的内容,不但解决了问题还摆脱了不必要的官僚主义。

Your brain might be averse to change, but with time and a shift in perspective, you can learn to accept it. 
你的大脑可能不愿改变,但随着时间和观点的转变,你可以学会接受改变。

And if you train yourself to be comfortable with uncertainty, you might just see opportunities as a result of those changes that you might not have had otherwise.
如果你训练自己适应不确定性,那么你就会看到那些变化所带来的机遇。
