每天都要正能量:今天你要说的七句积极的话
Your life story is an expression of who you are; the words you choose to use shape this story. Your words create the essence of your inner culture and the core of your identity and destiny.
你的生活故事就是你是谁的真实表现;你选择使用的词汇塑造了你的故事,你的词汇创造了你内在文化的本质和你身份与命运的核心。
Your ability to write a happy life story hinges on your language. It is your inner and outer verbal expression that makes your joy possible and that infuses your life with purpose, meaning and vitality.
你能否写出一个快乐的生活故事取决于你的语言。你内在和外在的言语表达使你变得欢乐,而且将目标、意义、生命力注入你的生活。
So today I challenge you to say…
所以今天我希望你说……
1. “I have a choice.”
“我可以选择。”
It is not your talents or abilities, but your choices that ultimately decide your fate. You ARE your choices.
你的命运不是由你的天赋或是能力决定的,而是由你的选择决定了你最终的命运。你就是你的选择。
Until you can look at yourself in the mirror and honestly say, “I have a choice. I am here now because of the choices I’ve made in the past,” you will never be able to say, “I choose differently.”
直到你能看着镜子中的自己然后诚实地说,“我可以选择,我现在能变成这样是因为我过去做的那些选择,” 你才可能有资格说:“我还有不同的选择。”
2. “Let’s get started!”
“我们开始吧!”
You can’t build anything wonderful with ideas of what you are going to do someday. If you want something, you have to make a little noise, declare it and then get started.
光想你可能有朝一日要去实践的点子,你是无法成就任何精彩事业的。如果你想要什么,你必须要低调,宣布你的决心然后就开始行动。
A goal is far more than a mental exercise. In fact, without the intent of action a goal is nothing more than a lie. Make your decisions real and present in your life; give them the time and attention they deserve.
目标不只是脑力锻炼这么简单。事实上,没有行动的意图,目标只不过是一个谎言。要让你的决定变成事实而且呈现在你的生活中;要花适当的时间和精力去实现它们。
3. “I have what it takes.”
“我具备所需的条件。”
The worst enemy of today is your self-doubt. The moment you doubt whether you can do something is the moment it becomes impossible for you.
现在最大的敌人是你的自我怀疑。当你怀疑自己能否完成一些事情的时候,就是你不可能完成这些事情的开始。
You have to believe in yourself. You have to trust yourself. You might be nervous, but do not you ever let any source of negativity in the world convince you that you don’t have what it takes.
你必须要相信你自己,你必须要信任你自己。你可能会紧张,但任何时候,你都不能让这个世界上任何的负面资源影响你,让你相信你并不具备所需的条件。
Give yourself a pep talk if you need one. State some facts, some evidence of your greatness. Recall your past victories. Speak them out loud – “I aced that test.” “I earned that big raise.” “I ran that 5K without stopping.” “My best friend loved my wedding speech.” And so on and so forth… Give a positive voice to your past victories and you will find the strength to repeat history.
如果需要你可以给自己打气。说出一些事实,给出一些你很棒的证据。回想你过去的成功,然后大声地讲出来——“我在考试中得了A。” “我获得了大幅度加薪。” “我不休息连续跑了五公里。” “我最好的朋友喜欢我写的婚礼祝词。” 等等…… 给你过去的成功一个积极的声音,然后你就能找到力量去重复这些成功。
4. “Hello, how can I help you?”
“你好,需要帮忙吗?”
In life, you get what you put in.
在生活中,你付出什么,就会得到什么。
Generally speaking, the unhappiest people you will ever meet will be those who are utterly self-absorbed; the happiest people you will ever meet will be those who lose themselves in the joy and challenge of helping others.
通常,你见到的最不开心的人都是那些以自我为中心的人;最快乐的人都是放弃自己的快乐并帮助他人的人。
Happiness is always attained by giving it away without expectation. Those who help others are eventually helped. You have two hands, one to help yourself and the other to help those around you. If you can lie down at night knowing in your heart that you made someone’s day just a little brighter, you have something to smile about.
幸福通常在不经意间获得。那些帮助他人的人,最终都会获得别人的帮助。你有两只手,一只帮助自己,一只帮助身边的人。当你在夜晚躺在床上回想,内心确信你让别人的一天更加愉快,你自己也就有了值得微笑的事情。
