10个小细节 平凡的我们也能改变世界

2015-02-24来源:赫芬顿
6. Give when you get.
当你得到时就给予

This is the best kind of multitasking! Whenever you get a little, give a little. There's a couple ways to pull this off: You can implement it yourself (donating an older shirt when you splurge for a new shirt, etc), or support companies that are passionate, good-hearted (really fun) do-gooders.Doesn't get much better than that, does it?
这是多任务的最好形式!无论何时只要你得到了一点点,那就给予一点点。可以有很多种方法:你可以自己去做(比如当你买了一件新衬衫时可以捐出一件旧衬衫)或支持有激情的公司、热心肠的好人。还有什么比这更好的呢?

7. Stop comparing yourself to people you see on the Internet.
不要再和互联网上的人进行比较

We all creep people's Instagram and Twitter feeds... and there's nothing wrong with wanting to be the best version of you. But you're you for a reason, and there's no one better at being you than you are! A little self-acceptance goes a long way. Your confidence will melt into other people and make them feel comfortable in their own skin too.
我们都喜欢看别人在Instagram和推特上的内容…,想成为最好的自己也没什么错。但是你就是你,没人比做你做得更出色的了!一点点儿自我接受,就能走很远。你的自信会逐渐融入他人,让他们也感到自信。

8. Use please and thank you.
用“请”和“谢谢”

Not to sound like your grandmother (go ahead and put your elbows on the table!), but the smallest ways to show your gratitude are these little words. They take zero effort to say, but the impact is huge. Aren't you thankful someone held the door for you when your hands were full? Tell them!
不是说听起来要像你的奶奶(快点,把胳膊肘放到桌子上!),但是表达你的感激之情的最简单的方式莫过于这些简单的词汇。说这些话又不费劲,但是影响却是相当大的。当你两手满满,有人给你开门时,你不是很感激他们?告诉他们!

9. Support someone else.
支持他人

You know that friend who is trying to promote their new album, or start that business? You don't always have to chip in financially to be a backer -- you just have to believe in something! Lend your support when and where you can. Whether it's as simple as a retweet on Twitter or tossing a few extra bucks toward a worthy cause, show someone you believe in what they're doing. Not only will they be super-motivated, but they'll pass it on.
你知道你的那个朋友在宣传他们的新唱片,或开了一家新公司?你不用每次都出资——你只需去相信他们!无论何时何地,只要你能帮助他们,就伸出你的手吧。无论是在推特上的一条转发,还是因为某个值得的原因投上一些钱,让他们看看你相信他们做的事情。他们不仅仅会受到鼓舞,而且还会把这份正能量传递下去。

10. Chase what gets you up in the morning.
追逐你的梦想

What's the thing that lingers on your heart -- that you just can't stop daydreaming about? Do the thing you would do if you could do anything. It's called your passion. And it's what you should be doing.
什么东西徘徊在你的心间——以至于你总是在不断地去梦想它?如果你能为它做点儿事情,那就做吧。这就叫做激情。这也是你应该去做的事情。

Sometimes, we treat chasing dreams like a fantasy -- it's easy to do, when things like money and rent and groceries and day jobs come into play. But you don't have to jump off the cliff solo: Start building your wings. Inch toward your dream. One foot in front of the other. Take the step. After all, it's your calling.
有时,我们把梦想看成是幻想——当有钱、有租金、有食物、有工作时很容易去做。但是,你也不能不加准备就跳下悬崖:你该先长出自己的翅膀。一点点地朝梦想靠近。一步一步地往前走。往前迈一步吧。毕竟,这是你的使命。
