成功者与平庸者之间的十大差距

6. Keep a journal vs. Say you keep a journal but don’t
6. 写日记 vs. 说自己要写日记但从来没写过

Keeping a journal is a great way to jot down quick ideas or thoughts. Writing them down can lead to something even greater. You can even use mobile apps or your Notes function in your phone. But don’t fool yourself by saying you keep a journal and not following through.
写日记是一个很好的方法来快速地记下自己的想法。记下这些想法会创造出更伟大的东西。你甚至可以使用手机的应用程序或者手机里的便签功能来写日记。但是不要欺骗自己，说要写日记但从来没有执行过。

7. Read every day vs. Watch TV every day
7. 每天读书 vs. 每天看电视

Reading every day educates you on new subjects. Whether you are reading a blog, your favorite magazine or a good book, you can learn and become more knowledgeable as you read. Watching television, on the other hand, may be good entertainment or an escape, but you'll rarely get anything out of TV to help you become more successful.
每天的阅读可以让你接触不同的内容。不论是读一篇博客，自己最喜欢的杂志还是一本好书，你都会学到东西，变的更加博学。相反，看电视也许是很好的娱乐方式或者说是一种很好的逃避方式，但是要想成功，电视节目益处很少。

8. Continuously learn vs. Fly by the seat of your pants
8. 不断学习 vs. 三分钟热度

Continuously learning and improving is the only way to grow. You can be a step above your competition and become more flexible because you know more. If you just fly by the seat of your pants, you could be passing up opportunities that prevent you from learning (and growing!)
不断的学习和进步是唯一的成长方式。因为知道更多，自己就可以在竞争中掌握先机，也会更加游刃有余。如果做事总是三分钟热度，你就会错失很多机会，妨碍自己的学习和进步。

9. Forgive others vs. Hold a grudge
9. 原谅他人 vs. 不断抱怨

Everybody makes mistakes; it’s human. The only way to get past the mistake is to forgive and move on. Dwelling on anger only makes things worse - for you.
每个人都会犯错，这是不可避免的。唯一解决错误的方式就是原谅，然后继续前进。对自己而言，老是生气只会让事情变得更糟。

10.  Keep a “To-Be” list vs. Don’t know what you want to be
10. 拥有梦想 vs. 前路迷茫

A “To-Be” list is a great way to strategize for the future. I want to be an elected official one day. I want to be a TED speaker. I want to be the CEO of a public company. I want to be a great father and husband. Unsuccessful people have no idea what they want to be. If you don’t know what you want to be, how can you achieve success? What do you want to be?
一份“梦想”列表是很好的未来规划。终有一天，我要成为一名官员。我想要成为一名TED演讲者。我想要成为一家上市公司的CEO。我想要成为一个伟大的父亲和丈夫。平庸的人不知道他们想要成为什么。如果你都不知道自己想要成为什么，怎么会成功呢？你想要成为什么呢？
