生活这样向前走:做很多人不会去做的21件事
说不:说不是个很重要的技能。很多人认为赢家总说好,但实际上他们对自己的行为很具有选择力。他们知道什么时候去拒绝那些不是很重要的事情。
Defend Your Time – You can get more money. You can get a new job. (You can even get new friends.) However, you can never get more time. And you never truly know how much you have left. Defend your time, it is your greatest asset.
珍惜时间:你能赚更多的钱,你能得到新的工作。(你甚至可以得到新的朋友)。但是,你不可能获得更多的时间。而且你永远不会知道你还剩多少时间。珍惜时间吧,这是你最宝贵的财富。
Do it Today – You are your habits. And your habits are what you do today and every day. Don’t put off good intentions or actions until tomorrow.
今日事今日毕:你有自己的习惯。你的习惯就是今日事今日毕,不要把好的想法和行动推迟到明天。
Help Others – Never underestimate the power of helping others. Life is often a team sport, and you never know when your teammates will be there to support you. Always be there for them.
帮助别人:不要低估帮助别人的力量。生命通常是团队运动,你永远不知道队友们什么时候会去支持你。
Make Decisions -Don’t be shy with decisions. Most people don’t make them, and life ultimately decides for them. Choose deliberately. Don’t fear the bad decision. You learn from them and there are few decisions in life where you can’t change your mind later.
做决定:不要害怕做决定。大部分人不做决定,到最后生命为他们做了决定。好好选择。不要害怕做错决定。你会从中学习,生命中总有些决定只能做一次。
Learn From Your Mistakes – Take chances, make decisions… even make mistakes sometimes. Just ensure that you learn from them. Every mistake should lead to new wisdom. Don’t repeat lessons.
从错误中学习:把握机会,做好决定,甚至时不时的犯错。但要确保能从错误中学到些什么。每个错误都能带来新的智慧,不要重复犯错。
Make Your Own Luck – Don’t wait for things to come to you. Go out and get them. The winners in life did not wait for things to be delivered to them. They made their own luck.
给自己创造好运-不要等着好运找你。出去转转去寻找他们。生活中的赢家不会永远只在那等着好运的来临。他们为自己创造运气。
Listen – Sometimes you need to stop and just listen. If you rush through life, you will miss the important things. What people are trying to tell you… both good and bad. And of course, listen even harder with friends and the ones you love.
倾听:有时候你需要停下来听听别人说话。如果你一生都急急忙忙,你就会错过重要的时期。人们试图告诉你的,有好有坏。当然,更要学会倾听朋友和爱人。
Change Yourself – Most people don’t change. They might grow older, grow bigger, but they often stay the same person. The most powerful people are those who can change themselves.
改变自己:大部分人不会改变。他们也许会变老,变高,但一直都是同样一个人。最有能力的人是那些能够改变自己的。
Do The Work – There is no shortcut to success. You have to do the work. You have to do the practice. You have to spend the time on the things that you want to accomplish.
勤奋工作:成功之路没有捷径,你需要工作,你需要练习。你需要花时间在你想要完成的事情上。
Don’t Quit – A final word, never quit. Too many people quit just short, even in sight, of their dreams. Almost as if they don’t really want to get there. Winners keep going after the quitters have given up.
不要放弃:最后一点,不要放弃,太多人很快就放弃了,即使梦想已经近在眼前。仿佛他们根本不想达到梦想。赢家则会在其他人放弃之后仍然一直前进。
