你可以做到更好：9种方式做个更好的人

Forgiving someone who hurt you is very difficult to do. When I got upset at someone for doing something, I could never forgive them. Even if it was a petty thing, I would hold it against them for the rest of their lives which was not healthy.
原谅伤害自己的人真的很难。以前我很“记仇”，要是谁做了对不起我的事，哪怕是鸡毛蒜皮，我都会一直耿耿于怀。其实这样很不好。

I quickly learned that humans are prone to making mistakes. Instead of holding mistakes against them for life, try to forgive someone. To become a better person, go through your past and forgive someone that did something to hurt you.
很快我发现，人都会犯错。与其因某人犯错而记恨一辈子，不如选择宽恕。尝试做个更好的人，忘记过去，原谅曾经伤害自己的人。

6. Listen To People
用心倾听

People are extremely busy with their careers, families, and lives. Everyone is in a rush, but people rarely ever have time to listen to what others have to say. I learned that listening to people and giving everyone a voice is one of the greatest things you can do.
人们总是忙于应付事业、家庭和生活，所有人都很忙碌，无暇顾及他人到底在说什么。但我发现，倾听并回应他人非常重要。

I got to meet some of the most amazing people, close some of the biggest deals, and develop connections that will last me a lifetime all because I took time to listen to people. Being a good listener can change your life in a positive manner.
我宁愿放下重大生意，也要赴约去见有意思的人；正因为我乐意倾听，这些人往往也会变成我的终生好友。擅于倾听能积极改变人生。

7. Be Honest
诚实诚恳

Honest people are hard to come by nowadays. However, honesty is the best remedy for any situation. Promise yourself that you won’t tell any lies for a month straight.
当今社会，诚实的人并不多见。但诚实却是任何情况下最重要的品质。请先尝试一个月内不讲一句谎话吧。

Challenge yourself to be honest by developing good habits. If you’re a compulsive liar, start small by trying to be honest for 1 day. After you accomplish a smaller goal, increase the goal by 2 or 3.
请试着养成好习惯、学着诚实做人。如果你总不自觉地撒谎，那就先试着1天不说谎，然后再慢慢将目标增加到2天或3天。

8. Do Something You Don’t Want To
做点自己不愿意的事情

Keeping an open mind and trying things that you wouldn’t normally do is a very easy way to become a better person. Take a risk and challenge yourself to try something you’ve always been scared to do.
敞开心怀去尝试自己一般不会去做的事情有助于成为更好的人。冒一次险，挑战自己，尝试去做一直害怕的事情吧。

Growing up, I was terrified of roller coasters. However, I eventually gave in as a teenager and had the time of my life. I would have never experienced roller coasters unless I had been willing to get over my fear and give it a shot. That one experience has led me to try numerous other new things.
成长时期我很害怕坐过山车，因为年轻气盛，还是尝试了一下，结果记忆深刻。如果不是因为克服内心恐惧勇敢迈出一步，或许我永远也体会不到坐过山车的乐趣。这个经验使我勇于尝试其他更多的新鲜事情。

9. Surprise Someone Special
给特别的人带去惊喜

Do you have a loved one in your life? Whether it’s your spouse/romantic partner, your children, or a family member, plan a special surprise for them. If you know someone who deserves a nice vacation or a new gift, go buy it for them.
你生命中也有心爱的人吧？不论是伴侣、恋人、子女还是亲人，都值得你准备一场惊喜。如果想送某人礼物或跟某人度假，那就拿出行动。

One of the most rewarding feelings in the world are knowing that you made someone smile. Surprise the special someone in your life by doing something out of the ordinary for them!
世上最令人满足的莫过于知道自己能给他人带来快乐。做一件不寻常的事，给生命中心爱的人带去惊喜吧！
