英語美文朗讀 第454期 10 habits of all successful people

Success means different things to different people. For some, success might mean financial achievements: becoming a millionaire for example. For some, it might mean accolades, for sportsmen it may mean trophies, championships or medals. For some, being successful might simply mean achieving a state of wellness, health or happiness. Whatever it means to you, take note of these 10 habits of all successful people. They apply to any area, and any meaning of success.

 

成功對不同的人意味著不同的事情。對一些人來說，成功可能意味著財富：例如成為百萬富翁。對一些人來說，這可能意味著榮譽，對運動員來說，這可能意味著獎杯、冠軍或獎牌。對一些人來說，成功可能僅僅意味著達(dá)到一種健康或幸福的狀態(tài)。不管它對你意味著什么，記住，所有成功人士都具有這10個習(xí)慣。它們適用于任何領(lǐng)域，任何意義上的成功。

 

1. They Set GOALS.

You've probably never met a successful person who doesn't set goals, because the chances of you finding what you want without a clear target to move toward are right around zero. If you don’t know where you are going, you will end up some place you didn't plan to be. Setting goals should be the NUMBER ONE priority for anyone seeking success. Define exactly what it is you want – your END GOAL. Break down exactly what is required to get there – MINI GOALS. Make sure your why, your reason for doing what you must do is strong. So when you hit those roadblocks, when things go wrong as they always do, you have the strength and purpose to keep going.

 

1.制定目標(biāo)。

你可能從來沒有遇到過一個不設(shè)定目標(biāo)的成功人士，因為如果沒有明確的目標(biāo)，你找到你想要的東西的機(jī)會接近于零。如果你不知道你要去哪里，你會到達(dá)一個你不打算去的地方。對于任何尋求成功的人來說，設(shè)定目標(biāo)應(yīng)該是第一要務(wù)。準(zhǔn)確定義你想要什么——你的最終目標(biāo)。然后再去計算想要達(dá)成目標(biāo)需要哪些步驟——小目標(biāo)。確定你的原因，你的理由 必須非常強(qiáng)烈。所以當(dāng)你遇到這些障礙時，當(dāng)事情像往常一樣出錯時，你有繼續(xù)前進(jìn)的力量和目標(biāo)。

 

2. They Take Responsibility For Their Life.

Another key attribute of all successful people is they take complete responsibility for the success and the failures in their life. Unlike the majority, they never play the victim role. If something doesn’t work out, they don’t blame others – they learn the lesson, learn one more way NOT to do something, and move on quickly.

Your energy is always best spent in the present, and planning for the future. Your thought process should always be “how can I make this work” and “what can I learn from this”. Never living in the past or making excuses as to why you aren’t where you should be. Remember EVERYONE suffers setbacks, everyone has the opportunity to either blame others and circumstances, or to focus on moving on and creating a better future, regardless of what has happened, you decide what you do now.

 

2.對自己的人生負(fù)責(zé)。

所有成功人士的另一個關(guān)鍵特征是，他們對生活中的成功和失敗，負(fù)完全的責(zé)任。與大多數(shù)人不同，他們從不扮演受害者的角色。如果某件事不成功，他們不會責(zé)怪別人——他們吸取教訓(xùn)，多學(xué)一種不做某件事的方法，然后快速前進(jìn)。你的精力必須要花在現(xiàn)在和未來的規(guī)劃上。你的思維過程應(yīng)該始終是“我怎樣才能使這個工作”和“我能從中學(xué)到什么”。不要活在過去，也不要自怨自艾。記住，每個人都會遭遇挫折，每個人都有機(jī)會去責(zé)怪別人和環(huán)境，或者專注于前進(jìn)，創(chuàng)造一個更好的未來，不管發(fā)生了什么，你決定你現(xiàn)在做什么。

 

3. They Have Great Self Discipline

Discipline is a strong trait of all successful people, and it is one that can be developed with consistent use. Anyone that works from home or unsupervised knows the importance of self discipline – when you're alone will you choose to go through social media, watch cat videos on YouTube, or do something that will be beneficial for your future? It is much easier to have discipline if you have clear goals and a meaningful purpose, something that is much more important than meaningless distractions.

 

3.絕對的自律。自律是所有成功人士的一個重要特征，它是一個可以通過持續(xù)使用來發(fā)展的特征。任何在家工作或無人監(jiān)督的人都知道自律的重要性——當(dāng)你獨自一人的時候，你會選擇通過社交媒體，在YouTube上觀看小貓視頻，還是做一些對你未來有益的事情？如果你有明確而意義的目標(biāo)，自律就變得容易多了，這比無意義的消遣更重要。

 

 

4. They Are Obsessed With Self Development

You can’t really claim to be successful if you have given up working on yourself. This doesn’t mean you are never satisfied, just that you know it is human nature to want to grow and learn new things. Be open to learn new things and develop your mind, through mentors, audio books and reading. The more you learn the more you will earn financially and spiritually.

 

4.不斷自我成長。 如果你放棄了提高自己，你就不能真正地宣稱自己是成功的。這并不意味著不知足，你應(yīng)該知道，想要成長和學(xué)習(xí)新事物是人類的天性。敞開心扉，通過導(dǎo)師、有聲讀物和閱讀，學(xué)習(xí)新事物，拓展你的思維。你學(xué)的越多，在經(jīng)濟(jì)上和精神上就能賺得越多。

 

5. They Read. A LOT!

Reading is a common past time of many highly successful people. The majority these days can’t sit alone for 2 minutes without becoming “bored” picking up their phone to go on social media, probably to post about how bored they are. Successful people you however are almost always happy to be alone, to be alone in quiet, to have the opportunity to read or listen to something that will benefit their mind, and their future. If you’re not a reader, try audio books. You can play them in your car, in the gym work while you shower, and use time that might normally be wasted to gain new skills, new strengths.

 

5.大量閱讀。 閱讀是許多成功人士的消遣。當(dāng)今時代，大多數(shù)人坐下來兩分鐘就會感到“無聊”，他們拿起電話，在社交媒體上發(fā)布自己有多無聊。然而，成功的人幾乎總是樂于獨處，獨處于安靜之中，有機(jī)會閱讀或聆聽一些有益于他們思想和未來的東西。如果你不愛讀書，試試有聲讀物。你可以在車?yán)锊シ?，在健身房里，利用通常被浪費的時間來獲得新的技能，新的優(yōu)勢。

 

6. They Manage Their Time Well

Time management is essential to success. Unsuccessful people usually get stressed and overwhelmed when there are too many tasks on their to-do list. Successful people are rarely fazed, they prioritize the big-payoff and most rewarding tasks first, and leave the insignificant ones last, knowing it matters most to do the most valuable tasks first successful people plan in advance, days, weeks, months ahead, knowing clearly what needs to be done to complete their jobs and reach their goals.

 

6.學(xué)會管理時間。 時間管理對成功至關(guān)重要。不成功的人，在他們的任務(wù)清單上有太多的任務(wù)時，他們通常會感到壓力和不知所措。成功的人很少會出現(xiàn)這種情況，他們把回報最大的任務(wù)放在首位，把最不重要的任務(wù)放在最后，知道孰輕孰重。成功的人都是提前幾天、幾周、幾個月制定計劃，清楚地知道，想要完成工作和實現(xiàn)目標(biāo)需要做什么。

 

 

7. They Take Risks

If you don’t by a ticket, you can’t win the raffle. If you don’t take big risks you can’t achieve big rewards. Successful people know that there will be times they will need to take risks in order to get where they need to go. Often most people won’t take those same risks for fear of failure, however the greater failure to successful people would be that of regret. Risk going for the life you want, or guarantee living with one you don't want.

 

7.承擔(dān)風(fēng)險。 如果你不買彩票，你就不能中獎。如果你不冒大的風(fēng)險，你就無法獲得大的回報。成功的人知道，有時他們需要冒險才能到達(dá)他們需要去的地方。通常，大多數(shù)人因為懼怕失敗而不敢冒險，但是成功的人最害怕的事情是后悔當(dāng)初沒做。為了你想要的生活去冒險， 或者繼續(xù)安安穩(wěn)穩(wěn)過你不喜歡的生活。

 

8. They Keep Going When They Suffer Failure & Setbacks

We all suffer setbacks. Every single person that attempts to live their dream life will suffers through failure, many of them might even lose everything. Most quit, the successful never quit. They keep going, knowing their greatest character is formed in adversity. Knowing their success story is being written in every moment, and it will be especially good now they have a comeback story.

 

8.當(dāng)他們遭遇失敗和挫折時，他們會繼續(xù)前進(jìn)。 我們都遭受挫折，每一個試圖過上夢想生活的人都會遭遇失敗，其中許多人甚至?xí)ヒ磺小４蠖鄶?shù)人會放棄，成功的人永遠(yuǎn)不會退出。他們繼續(xù)前進(jìn)，知道自己最棒的性格是在逆境中形成的。知道他們的成功故事每時每刻都在書寫，現(xiàn)在他們有了一個復(fù)出的故事，這將是特別好的。

 

9. They Find A Way To Win

Successful people FIND A WAY. Period. Whatever life throws their way, they deal with it, dodge it, smash through it, whatever is required they find a way to win. It’s the whatever it takes mentality. It’s the confidence in knowing whatever happens, I will give my all and leave nothing on the table. I WILL FIND A WAY TO WIN!

 

9.他們總會找到一種方法。 成功的人總會找到辦法。無論生活如何改變，他們都會處理它，躲避它，粉碎它，無論需要什么，他們都會找到一種獲勝的方法。這是一種全力以赴的心態(tài)。他們有信心，無論發(fā)生什么事，我會全力以赴，不遺余力。我會想辦法贏的！

 

10. They Do What They Love

If you are not doing what you love, you can’t really claim yourself a success. Spending the majority of your working hours also known as the majority of your life doing things you hate for money is not successful living. It’s torture to the soul. If you need to suffer doing something you don't like to get to a life you love, do that, but do not lose sight of exactly that, your ultimate purpose, find your life purpose think of all the things you love to do more than anything in the world, then brainstorm how you can turn those passions into profit. Doing what you love every day, even if you were taking a big cut it will be worth it, do you love everyday, and you will never work a day in your life.

 

10.做自己喜歡的事 。如果你不做你喜歡的事，你就不能真正地宣稱自己是成功的。把大部分的工作時間，也就是你生活中的大部分時間，花在你討厭的事情上，不是成功的人生，這是對靈魂的折磨。如果你需要忍受做一些你不喜歡的事情，去實現(xiàn)你所愛的生活，去做那些事情，但是不要忽略你的最終目標(biāo)。找到你的人生目標(biāo)，想想你最喜歡做的所有事情，然后頭腦風(fēng)暴，你如何能把這些激情轉(zhuǎn)化為利潤。每天做你喜歡的事，即使收入降低一些，它也是值得的。每天做你喜歡的事，那么工作就不是負(fù)擔(dān)了。
