How Not to Succeed in Your Job Many magazines have articles on how to be a success, but here at Business Monthly, the Magazine for Busy Businesspeople, we thought it would be helpful if our readers knew how to fail. Step One: Don’t come to work on time. If you want to fail at work, then don’t be on time. Punctuality, or being where you should when you should, is a common trait of successful people. If you don’t want to succeed, be late for all of your appointments. Step Two: Don’t ask questions. Successful people often try to learn what they don’t already know. They ask questions if they are unsure of a situation or a procedure. If you want to fail, make sure you keep your questions to yourself. Step Three: Never learn new things. In order to get ahead in your career, it is necessary to keep yourself updated on current information in your field. Information changes quickly; if you want to be left behind, then don’t keep up with the changes Step Four: Don’t mind your own business. MYOB, or Mind Your Own Business, means not getting involved in office gossip. If you talk about others behind their backs, then you can expect that others are talking about you as well. So if you want to fail, stick your nose where it does not belong. 66, According to the article, what does punctuality mean? (A) Having good punctuation when writing (B) Being where you should (C) Being successful (D) Being where you should, when you should 67, According to this article, what is true about successful people? (A) They are late, don’t ask questions, and never learn new things. (B) They are late, don’t ask questions, and try to learn new things. (C) They are late, ask questions, and try to learn new things. (D) They aren’t late, ask questions, and try to learn new things. 68, What does MYOB mean? (A) That you should study about business in school (B) That you should not get involved in office gossip (C) That you should prepare to own your own business 10 [...]...
