十个动作让你改变效率

Efficiency is impossible without action.  Here are 10 verbs, or actions, that will make you more efficient in life.

没有行动就没有效率。在这儿，有十个动作，或者行为，会让你的生活变得更加有效率。

It is more than probable that the average man could, with no injury to his health, increase his efficiency fifty percent.

同样的一群人，身体没有受过伤，但是那些健康的人却可以提高学习百分之五十的效率。

1.Practice – Practice makes perfect… at least that’s what they say.  While you may never quite meet your own personal expectations for perfection, practice will make you more efficient at whatever you do.  Always remember, if the activity is the art, practice is the science of improving the art.

1. 练习-手能生巧，至少前人们是这样人为的。如果你从未让你的个人期望完美呈现，那么练习可以让你在做任何事情的时候变得更加有效率。永远记住，如果活动是艺术，那么练习时一门让艺术更完美的科学。

2.Rest – If you have ever tried to bench press heavy weight you know that the 1st set is much easier than the 2nd.  This is because your muscles are 100% rested before the 1st set.  Now substitute your mind for your muscles.  If it never gets proper rest, it will not be capable of operating at full capacity on the 1st set… let alone the 2nd and 3rd.

2.休息-如果你曾将尝试举起重物，那么你会明白，第一下的时候永远比第二下容易得多。这是因为在你举第一下之前，你的肌肉是百分之百的放松。现在，用你的大脑代替你的肌肉。如果大脑得不到充足的休息，那么它怎么有可能在等一下的时候用尽全力去完成呢，更别说第二第三下了。

3.Think – The act of thinking sparks creativity, and creativity is one of the primary sources for increased efficiency.  Unhindered thought will lead us in new directions and open doors that were once hidden.  Only after we think about it will we truly realize what we are missing.

3.思考-思考迸发创意的火花，创造力同样是提高效率的一种普通的办法。自由的想象空间将会引领我们走向新的方向并打开曾经关闭的那扇门。只有我们真正的去思考某些事情，我们才能意识到我们曾经忽视了什么。

4.Walk – A moderate paced walk provides exercise for the body and stimulation for the mind.  It gets our blood moving and frees our thoughts from the restrictions of a static environment.  A regular routine of walking will make you more efficient at being alive.

4.散步-以稳健的步伐去散步可以为我们的身体提供锻炼的机会，并可以激发我们的思维。它让我们的血液流动，并让我们的思维从静态环境的束缚中得到自由。一个定期的散步计划会让你的生活变得更加地有效率。

5.Read – Close to 50% of all communication is in written form.  With that said, could anyone possibly learn at an efficient pace without reading?  The answer is no… so learn to enjoy the act of reading, and read as much as you can.

5.阅读-接近百分之五十的沟通都是阅读。这样的话，有没有没有阅读的习惯，却可以找到一条有效率的生活方式呢？答案当然是否定的.......所以说，学会享受阅读的艺术，尽你所能多读书。

6.Prepare – Without suitable preparation and organization our actions are merely a shot in the dark.  If we want to stand a chance at attaining our goals we must prepare ourselves to efficiently deal with the obstacles that lay ahead.

6.准备-没有任何准备和组织的行为，都是瞎猜。如果我们得到一个机会去实现我们的目标，我们必须做好准备去应付途中遇到的各种障碍。

7.Focus – If you never focus clearly on something, you will never be 100% efficient at anything.  Multi-tasking might seem to make you efficient at getting multiple tasks done at once, but it usually reduces your efficiency in dealing with each individual task.  This ultimately results in a reduced overall performance output.

7.全神贯注-如果你没办法集中精神去做某事，那么你没办法百分之百在这件事上取得应有的效率。多个任务一起实施或许会让你取得多个任务的成功，但它经常让你的效率分散到各个单独扽任务之中。这最终将会导致降低整体性能的输出。

8.Start – Well begun is half done.  Nothing could be closer to the truth.  Some of the greatest ideas ever thought never made it.  Why?  Because the genius behind the idea failed to take action.  Just remember, no action results in a 100% failure rate, or an efficiency rate of zero.

8.开始-良好的开端是成功的一半。没有任何的东西可以接近事实。一些伟大的想法曾经被人提起却不见得被人完成过。为什么呢？因为那些天才的构思没有付诸行动。记住，只想不做的结果就是百分之百的失败率，或者是零的效率。

9.Listen – If you don’t listen to others you will live a lifetime of talking to yourself.  Not only will you continuously be unaware of what is going on, but nobody will want to speak with you either.  The most complex problems are solved by groups of people who communicate efficiently with one another.  If you don’t listen, you will be left behind.

9.听-如果不能听听别人的意见，那么你一辈子只会一个人生活并且只和自己交谈。不仅你没办法意识到这是怎么一回事，而且别人也会拒绝和你交谈。世界上最复杂的问题都是在人与人之间的交谈中得到解决的。如果你没办法倾听，你将会被淘汰。

10.Fail – Failure is the first step toward success.  Most people don’t get it right the first time.  Many people fail to get it right the first 5 times.  Remember, strong-willed persistence always eclipses failure.  It may take more than one swing to compose an efficient hit, so don’t give up on strike #1.  Instead, interpret each failure as a lesson on the road to victory.

10.失败-失败是成功的第一步。很多人没办法在失败一次之后就通向成功。很多人都是要失败5次才会成功。记住，坚强的意志会让失败相形见拙。或许需要不仅一个的大起大落才能形成有效的打击，但是不要轻易罢工。相反的，把每一个失败当成是通往成功的课程。
