“为了成功,你对成功的欲望一定大于对失败的恐惧。”——比尔 考斯比 by Om Swami
|
Almost everyone I know
wants to succeed. And genuinely so. Their efforts are sincere and their
intentions, noble. They even try hard. Why is it that some people succeed at
most things they undertake while many others fail at anything they try? It is
not uncommon to see that some people get really lucky. They end up at the right
place at the right time and success just happens to them, or so it
seems.
几乎我认识的每一个人都想成功。真的是这样。他们的努力都很真诚,目标也很崇高。他们甚至想法设法去获取成功。为什么有些人所做的事大多都能成功,而有些人却总是失败?撞大运的人并不常见。他们占尽天时地利,然后就成功了,大概就是这个样子。
When you are serious
about success, it is serious about you too. When you keep chiseling away at your
goal, you learn to identify opportunities and make use of them. Today, I bring
to you five principles of success. When we follow these principles, our chances
of being at the right place at the right time go up significantly. These five
golden principles will help you stay motivated right till the end.
当你认真对待成功的时候,成功也会认真对待你。当你将你的目标铭记于心,你就会学着识别机会利用机会。现在,我告诉你五条成功法则。遵循这些法则,我们得到天时地利的机会就会显著增加。这五条黄金法则将使你自始自终都雄心勃勃。
1.
Positivity
1、积极
“What doesn’t kill us
makes us stronger.” ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
致命弱点使我们更加强壮。
Being positive is a
habit. It’s a matter of choice. It doesn’t mean that one let goes of actions and
wait for things to happen. Positivity is about chasing your dreams with a heart
for any fate. It is reminding yourself that your world has not come to an end
and that there’s plenty more you can do. Positivity makes you proactive and
sharpens your intellect. Being positive is not about false reassurance or vain
affirmations, it is about action. 2. Patience
积极是一种习惯,是一种选择。它并不是指守株待兔。积极是用心去追逐你的梦想。它使你提醒自己你的世界末日并不存在,你还有很多事情要做。积极使你变得主动并且明智。积极并不是虚假的保证或者无用的断言,它是实实在在的行动。
2、耐心
This is the most
common roadblock on the journey to success. Patience is knowing that Rome wasn’t
built in a day. Your habits were not formed overnight, you did not gain weight
in a matter of days, similarly, you cannot break old habits or change yourself
in jiffy. Think of an artist, a sculptor or a builder. They keep working on
their project, one stroke, one brick at a time. If you are serious about gaining
body mass or losing weight, improving your skills at tennis or boosting your
memory, you must not forego patience. When you stay course, taking one step at a
time, you will finish a journey of thousand miles before long. 3.
Persistence
通往成功的路上障碍重重。耐心就是懂得罗马不是一天建成的。你的的习惯也不是一天形成的,你不可能一口吃成胖子,简单地说,你不能立刻就能改掉你的坏习惯并改变你自己。想想艺术家,雕刻家或是建筑师。他们只能一砖一瓦的完成他们的项目。如果你想立刻就能增加体重或者减肥,提高你的网球技能或者增加收入,你一定把耐心抛诸脑后。当你一步一个脚印时,你就会走过千山万水。
3、坚持
“It’s not that I’m
smarter, I just stay with problems longer.” ~ Albert Einstein
“我并不聪明,我只是花更多的时间思考难题。”——阿尔伯特 爱因斯坦
When you are
persistent, results certainly show through. And with positive results, it
becomes easier to be motivated. Patience thrives in the persistent mind. Imagine
a tennis match between two champions. The one who can patiently and consistently
play one good shot after the other, staying persistent, will eventually win over
the other opponent. One common trait among the most successful across the globe
has been their persistence. When you are persistent, new ideas spring up
automatically. 4. Discipline
只要坚持,功到自然成。伴随积极的结果,它就更容易被激发。耐心在坚持中枝繁叶茂。想象两个冠军之间的网球比赛。狭路相逢,耐心击球并坚持不懈的人才能获得最终的胜利你。全世界的成功人士的共同的特质就是他们的坚持。当你坚持不懈,就会想出好主意。
4、纪律
We are often
motivated by the results, by the joy of reaching at the destination. The primary
difference between an elusive dream and a real goal is that the latter has
discipline and action. Discipline is sticking to your mental and physical
routine, it’s going by the plan, it’s about following your course of action. The
best way to follow any discipline is to ignore your heart. For example, you
committed yourself to hit the gym four times a week. Today, you are feeling lazy
and don’t want to go to the gym. All you’ve got to do is not listen to your
mind. Just get to the gym. Once there, you will find it easy to do your workout.
5. Visualization
结果和达到目的之后的愉悦常常激发我们。难以企及的美梦和一个真实的目标之间最大的差别是后者拥有纪律和行动。几率是按常规坚持你的精神和身体,一切都照计划进行,遵循行动的进程。遵守纪律的最好方法是忽略你的内心。例如,你承诺自己一周要去健身房锻炼四次。今天,你感到困倦,不想去健身房。那么你必须做的就是不听从你的头脑,继续去健身房。只要到了那里,你就会发现锻炼其实很容易。
5、可视
“Thoughts become
things.” ~ Buddha
“思想可以成为现实”——释迦牟尼
This one is less
shared by the successful people. When you are patient, persistent, positive and
disciplined, your thoughts become really powerful. That is the view shared by
many yogic texts as well. Your will-power and calmness in the mind gets a
massive boost. You can then carry out your visualizations with much greater
success. Visualization can have amazing, if not miraculous, effect in keeping
you motivated and helping you realize your goals. With a wavering mind and weak
resolve, law of attraction will remain a mythical concept. (A while ago I wrote
on how to make law of attraction work for you. It requires a certain type of
mindset. For better understanding, you can read up here.)
这条原则为成功人士较少分享。当你有耐心,坚持不屑,积极向上,遵守纪律,你的思想就会变得强大。这种观点也被很多瑜伽书籍采纳。你的意志力和头脑的冷静将得到极大地提高。然后你就会获得更大的成功。如果不是奇迹,可是是令人惊奇的力量保持你的动力并帮助你达成目标。对于一个左右摇摆和并不坚强的决心,吸引定律仍将是一个神秘的概念。(一段时间以前,我写了如何使吸引定律为你工作。它需要某种类型的心态。为了更好地理解,你可以在这里阅读。)undefined
Go on! Take life by
the horns and dictate your own terms. Succeeding is a habit too. It’s the one
worth cultivating.
加油!吹响生命的号角,支配自己的生活。成功也是一种习惯。它值得培养。undefined Principles of Attaining Success
