态度决定一切：5种方法改变你对生活的态度

“Our attitude toward life determines life’s attitude towards us.” We’ve all heard about the power of our attitude, and that it’s our attitude that determines how much we succeed in life.
“我们对生活的态度决定了生活对我们的态度。” 我们都听说过态度的力量，也知道正是我们的态度决定了我们在生命中会有多成功。

If you look around you, you will see that people with a positive attitude enjoy life more and are generally happier and more successful than those who walk around grumpy and pessimistic. Our attitude is the driving force in our lives—it can either push you to do great things or pull you down to your demise.
如果你看看周围，你就会发现那些以积极的态度享受生活的人们，比那些暴躁和悲观的人更开心而且更成功。我们的态度是我们生命中的动力——它可以推动你做伟大的事情，也会把你带向灭亡。

While it’s true that humans are born with certain tendencies or orientations, our personalities and attitudes are developed through our relationships and experiences. Our attitudes begin to develop in childhood and constantly evolve and change over the years through day-to-day interactions and experiences.
然而，人类天生就有某些发展趋势或方向，我们的个性和态度会随着我们的人际关系和经历而不断成熟。我们的看法从孩提时代开始，并多年来在每天的交往和经历中不断地发展和改变。

All the things that you have been through, all the people you have met and interacted with can have an impact on your attitude. If you think that all these factors have molded you into a person with a poor attitude towards life, there is no need to worry as there is always an opportunity for change. Let me share with you how I did it.
你所经历的所有事情、所见过并打交道的所有的人会影响你的态度。如果你认为这些所有的因素都让你对生活有了消极态度，不要担心，总有机会改变的。让我与你分享一下我的做法。

5 Simple Things That Can Help Change Your Attitude
五个简单的做法让你改变态度。

1. Identify and understand what you want to change.
确定并了解你想要改变的事。

The first step towards change is clearly understanding what needs to be changed. Setting clear goals is the key to success in any endeavor. When it comes to changing your attitude, you need to do an honest and in-depth self-evaluation so you could point out exactly which of your traits need to be improved or totally changed.
改变的第一步是清楚了解什么需要改变。设立明确的目标是所有努力的关键。当需要改变态度时，你需要做坦率和深入的个人评估，这样才能确切的指出你需要改进或彻底改变的特质。

2. Look for a role model.
寻找一个榜样角色。

We all need to know that what we’re trying to accomplish can in fact be achieved; that we can be more optimistic, more social or more patient. Find someone who has the kind of attitude that you want to have, and let his or her life give you inspiration and encouragement to move beyond your temporary failures in your journey towards becoming a better person.
我们都需要知道我们事实上试着完成的是什么；这样我们就能更乐观、更爱社交也更有耐心。找到一个有你想要的态度的人，并让他/她的生活给你激发和鼓励，来打败你在变得更好的途中暂时的失败。
