What are you willing to do in order to reach success? It is common among people these days to be average and not stand out too much. But those who are successful do not fall under this category。
為了成功你都愿意做哪些事?近來(lái)似乎人們偏信槍打出頭鳥，寧愿在眾人當(dāng)中做個(gè)平凡人而不是太顯山露水。但是那些成功人士是不會(huì)落入這個(gè)俗套的。
In order to stay on top of your game and reach the level of success you want, you need to follow a certain set of self-induced rules. Success is not something that happens by accident; if you want it bad enough, you will get it. Learn the habits that successful people have given up in order to reach their own success。
為了成為人生贏家，達(dá)到成功目標(biāo)你需要遵循一套自感應(yīng)規(guī)則。成功并非偶然概率事件;如果你迫切希望成功，你一定會(huì)成功。學(xué)習(xí)一下為了達(dá)到目標(biāo)成功人士們都放棄了哪些習(xí)慣吧。
1. They don’t work in their comfort zone。
他們不會(huì)讓自己呆在舒適區(qū)。
What is your comfort zone? Your comfort zone is defined as “A psychological state in which a person feels familiar, at ease, in control, and experiences low anxiety。” When you get outside of your comfort zone, it doesn’t mean that you should strive for a constant state of anxiety and stress. It simply means that, in order to grow, you should try new things and expand your horizons。
你的舒適區(qū)是什么呢?所謂的“舒適區(qū)”即指人們感到熟悉，放松，在可控范圍內(nèi)并很少經(jīng)歷緊張的一種心理狀態(tài)。當(dāng)你走出舒適區(qū)時(shí)，并非指你要不斷的處于緊張和高壓狀態(tài)下。它僅僅是指，為了成長(zhǎng)，你需要嘗試新事物并拓展自己的視野。
The reason we are comfortable in our comfort zone is because we are not taking risks when we are in this state. When we live in our comfort zones, we are living life like hamsters on a wheel, going around and around in a constant cycle, but going nowhere in our lives。
呆在舒適區(qū)感到舒服的原因是由于在這種狀態(tài)時(shí)我們不需要冒險(xiǎn)。當(dāng)我們呆在舒適區(qū)時(shí)，我們過(guò)著的生活就如同在輪子上的倉(cāng)鼠，輪子不停地滾啊滾，但是卻毫無(wú)方向感。
Famous motivational speaker, Les Brown, said it best with, “If you put yourself in a position where you have to stretch outside your comfort zone, then you are forced to expand your consciousness。”
萊斯·布朗，著名的勵(lì)志演講家曾經(jīng)這樣恰當(dāng)?shù)乇扔鳎?ldquo;如果你將自己置身于不得不走出舒適區(qū)的位置，那么你將會(huì)不得不拓展自己的意識(shí)。
2. They don’t do without first learning。
他們不做無(wú)準(zhǔn)備的事。
Learning is what we do best. The greatest thing about learning is the benefit that we receive in all aspects of our lives. Successful people strive to continue learning new things and expanding on things that they already know。
學(xué)習(xí)是我們做的最好的事情。關(guān)于學(xué)習(xí)我們獲得的最大的好處就是全面的各個(gè)層面的改變自己的生活。成功人士努力保持繼續(xù)學(xué)習(xí)新事物并在原有學(xué)到的東西上面不斷拓展。
If we stop learning, then the only thing we can do is settle with what we already know; if we settle for that, then there is no way to expand our minds. Expansion is essential on the path to success. Since our minds require learning for expansion, we must never stop seeking new knowledge。
如果我們停止學(xué)習(xí)，那么我們唯一能做的就是在現(xiàn)有的知識(shí)下保持停滯不前了;如果這樣，那我們將無(wú)法拓展自己的思維。而拓展是成功的必經(jīng)之路。既然我們的思維需要拓展，那么我們就必須永不停止尋求新知識(shí)。
Imagine what would have happened if Bill Gates stopped learning and growing. The internet would be much more primitive than it is today. But because he followed his dreams and continued growing, he founded one of the biggest companies in the world and it is still flourishing and growing today。
想象一下如果比爾。蓋茨停止學(xué)習(xí)進(jìn)步那將會(huì)是什么樣子?因特網(wǎng)將會(huì)比現(xiàn)在更原始的多。但是正因?yàn)樯w茨跟隨自己的夢(mèng)想繼續(xù)成長(zhǎng)，他才建立了世界上最大的公司之一，而且這個(gè)公司直至今日還在不斷繁榮發(fā)展中。
3. They don’t fear asking for advice。
他們無(wú)謂虛心請(qǐng)教。
Richard Branson, a famous entrepreneur, stated, “When you need to make hard decisions, being able to discuss your ideas with entrepreneurs and business leaders who have solved similar problems can make all the difference。”
理查德·布蘭森，著名企業(yè)家曾說(shuō)道：“當(dāng)你需要做艱難決定時(shí)，努力同曾經(jīng)解決過(guò)類似問題的企業(yè)家和商場(chǎng)領(lǐng)袖探討你的想法，結(jié)果會(huì)大不相同。
Asking for advice is not always easy. We think that we have the same opportunity as everyone else and sometimes feel insecure and dependent, so we decide not to ask for advice, and try to figure it out ourselves. But this could be greatly limiting us from reaching our full potential, because the advice we might be seeking could be something that somebody knows very well。
虛心請(qǐng)教并非總是如此容易。我們認(rèn)為自己面對(duì)的機(jī)遇可能其它人也會(huì)想要利用這個(gè)機(jī)遇，有時(shí)我們會(huì)感到不安并變得不獨(dú)立，于是我們決定不去討教而是試圖自己解決問題。但是這樣做可能大大的限制了我們發(fā)揮自己的全部潛力，因?yàn)槲覀兯鶎で蟮慕ㄗh也許正是別人更擅長(zhǎng)的領(lǐng)域。
4. They don’t get lost in the small details。
他們不會(huì)因糾結(jié)細(xì)節(jié)而迷失方向。
When life gives us seemingly endless opportunities, it is very easy to get lost in the small details. The small details are very easy for us to become focused on, thus causing us to miss out on the overall vision, also known as the “big picture”。
當(dāng)生活為我們提供源源不斷的機(jī)遇時(shí)，人們就很容易在細(xì)節(jié)中迷失方向。細(xì)節(jié)很容易得到人們重視，進(jìn)而讓人們喪失對(duì)全局的把握，也就是所謂的“大方向”。
Imagine what would have happened if Henry Ford only saw the small details. Henry Ford didn’t focus too much on the small details, which were the hundreds of times he failed; he saw the overall goal and knew that it could be accomplished. It required seeing the bigger picture to make it happen。
想象一下如果亨利。福特僅僅看到了細(xì)節(jié)問題那會(huì)是什么樣子?亨利沒有只是聚焦在小細(xì)節(jié)上面，這些方面他可能失敗過(guò)很多次;它看到的是一個(gè)整體的目標(biāo)，而且他知道這個(gè)目標(biāo)是可以達(dá)成的。這要求人們統(tǒng)觀大局以求達(dá)到目標(biāo)。
5. They don’t multitask。
他們不會(huì)同時(shí)多任務(wù)處理。
Multitasking is typically viewed as a skill that only certain people possess. But truth be told, nobody actually has the ability to multitask. Multitasking is known to actually decrease productivity. Those who are successful focus on one specific task and do that task to the best of their ability without interruption. When you multitask, you limit your ability to fully focus on one specific task at a time. Successful people utilize the talents and abilities that they have by focusing it on one task and one task only。
多任務(wù)處理能力被視為某些人獨(dú)具的一個(gè)技能。但事實(shí)告訴我們，沒有人可以真正的做到同時(shí)多個(gè)任務(wù)一起處理。多任務(wù)同時(shí)運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)實(shí)際上是以降低效率而聞名。那些成功人士會(huì)集中注意力在某一件確切的任務(wù)上，然后用自己最大的能力，完全不受干擾的做到最好。當(dāng)你多任務(wù)同時(shí)處理時(shí)，你會(huì)因無(wú)法一次性集中精力在某件事上而限制了自身能力。成功人士會(huì)利用個(gè)人才智和能力一次一個(gè)任務(wù)的逐一解決。
Emma Watson said, “I just dropped my iPhone in my soup. I think it might be time to tone down the multitasking。.” This demonstrates how destructive multitasking is highlighting the fact that when we multitask, we are greatly limiting ourselves。
艾瑪。沃特森說(shuō)過(guò)：“我剛剛不小心把我的蘋果手機(jī)掉到了我的湯里去。我想是時(shí)候降低多任務(wù)同時(shí)處理了。”這充分表明了同時(shí)多任務(wù)處理是多么具有破壞性的事實(shí)，當(dāng)我們多任務(wù)處理時(shí)，我們大大的限制了自身的能力。
