2013-08-08来源:lifehack
5. Contribution
贡献

A high-value person realizes that he was created to give, and understands that personal wealth is reflected in contribution. His contributions are not made with an ostentatious purpose. Contribution does not have to be at a large scale: giving is an act of joy in itself.
高价值的人意识到他生来就是为了给予,他认为个人的价值体现在贡献中。他不是为了浮夸而去做贡献。贡献也不一定要大:给予本身就是一种愉悦的行为。

By giving to others, the high-value individual feels full inside. This person strategically gives his unique gifts often, but not so that he neglects himself.
通过给予,高价值的人内心感到了充实。他往往适当地给予别人独特的礼物,但是这样做,他却并没有忽略自己。

6. Ability to Empathize and Forgive
同情和原谅的能力

A high-quality person is capable of relating to those that have wronged him. He is capable of forgiving both outsiders, and himself. Kindness and benefit of doubt go a long way, and holding resentment and bitterness does not allow one to live to his fully capacity. Forgiveness is emancipation from chains of resentment that keep one fettered to the past.
高素质的人能和不公正对待他的人相处。他能够原谅局外人和他自己。善良和假定对方无辜是很有帮助的,而怀有怨恨和痛苦则不能让他发挥出自己的全部能力。宽恕让人从怨恨中解脱出来,而怨恨则让人束缚在过去中。

7. Effective Prioritizing
有效排列事物的优先次序

This world is complicated. We are pulled in multiple directions every day, willingly, or not. Smart people have a strict list of priorities, with interpersonal relationships at the top. There is a difference between having a priority list and living one’s life according to the list.
世界是错综复杂的。无论我们愿不愿意, 我们每天都会受到到多种方向力量的影响。聪明的人有精确的事情优先级列表,顶端是人际关系。有优先级列表和按照优先级列表生活是有区别的。

High-value people are excellent time, emotion, and energy managers who carefully allot their personal resources according to their priority list. If a time-consuming objective of low value arises, it is eliminated. The majority of time, emotional, and energy resources are given to nurture and sustain important relationships. The high-value person understands that quality relationships with people are all uniquely temporary and thus invaluable.
高价值的人能很好地管理时间、情感和能量,能根据优先级列表仔细分配个人资源。耗时而价值低的事情就会从中去掉。大部分的时间、情感上和能量上的资源用来培养并维持重要的人际关系。高价值的人知道和人之间关系的好坏都是暂时性的,因而是无价的。

8. Flexibility and Openness to Change
灵活并对改变持开明态度

A high-value individual practices the art of letting go when control cannot be maintained. He does not get angry when things don’t go his way, or when uncontrollable events occur. Traffic, weather, and other people are not controllable. However, emotional mastery is.
高价值的人当遇到不能控制的情况时,就会放手。当事情不按他想的方式发展或当无法控制的事情发生时,他并不生气。交通、天气和其他人都是不可控制的。但情绪是可以控制的。

So, how much are you worth?
所以,你的价值是多少呢?
