The key reason why they read is to upgrade themselves. 88%的富人每天都会至少阅读30分钟。其中,79%的人会看职业相关的书籍,94%的人关心当下时事,51%的人会选择历史书。他们读书是为了提升自己,获取知识。 Control your emotions 控制你的情绪 Loose lips are common characters for 69% of people who struggle financially. Conversely, 94% of wealthy people filter their emotions. They understand that losing control can only destroy relationships with colleagues and families. 科里发现,69%还在为生计奋斗的人都是嘴比心快,而相反,94%的富人都能很好地控制情绪。他们明白如果随意地抒发自己的情绪只会破坏和同事或家人之间的关系。 Take a moment break and think twice, speak when you’re calm and can clarify the situation objectively. 所以,冷静之后再说出你的想法,你也可以更好地判断当下的情况。 Talk less and listen more 少说多听 A 5-to-1 law is introduced here: you should listen to others five minutes for every one minute that you speak. 5比1法则,是指你每说1分钟就应该倾听5分钟。 Rich ones are always good communicators, because they are good listeners as well. They know the truth that you can learn only by listening to others' words first. 富人善于交流正是因为他们善于倾听,他们懂得只有通过聆听别人说的话,才可以学得更多,提升得更多。 Get a mentor 寻找一位良师益友 About 93% of the rich would love to say that they had a mentor attributed to their success. Mentors regularly and actively participate in your life and provide guidance. 93%的富人都表示自己的成功离不开一位良师益友。他会指导你该做什么,不该做什么,他会定期且积极地出现在你的成长道路上。 Be away from the TV and spend less time on the Internet 远离电视,少上网 Two thirds of wealthy people watch less than an hour TV shows per day, and almost 63% of them spend less than an hour a day on the Internet unless it is job-related. Instead, these successful people use their free time to engage in personal developments. 三分之二的富人平均每天看电视少于1小时,同样的,63%的富人每天上网时间少于1小时,除非是工作需要。他们把空闲时间花在提升自己上。 Connect with your social circles regularly 定期社交 If you always meet people that you can add to your circles, you will build valuable relationships that can be exchanged for customers or clients, or help you get a better job. Almost three quarters of the rich spend at least five hours a month on making friends. 如果你花时间去结交新人并且把他们带进你的圈子,你会建立更多有价值的人脉,从而换来更多的生意和客户,开拓另一份工作。四分之三的富人每个月至少花5个小时在社交上。 Be early birds and exercise 早起,坚持锻炼 According to Corley, 44% of the rich usually wake up 3 hours before they start their daily work. 76% of rich people do at least 30 minutes' exercise for 4 times per week. 科里在书中写到,44%的富人会比朝九晚五的工作时间提前3小时起床。他们中的76%坚持每周4次有氧锻炼30分钟以上。 科里这项研究中的富人多是些白手起家的百万富翁(self-made millionaires)。因此,我们相信只要有改变的决心,坚定的毅力,和正确的方式,每个人都有改变自己生活的可能。 英语要学就学有腔调的 记得关注'英伦腔调':ylqd88 知道自己算什么英语水平吗? 点击阅读原文 预约外教一对一,赠送体验课程 |
