篇1:英语演讲:成功人士都有的11个习惯

We all want to succeed. Whether it’s in losing weight, learning the guitar, speed reading, or starting our own business. For those of us who have tried and failed, success seems elusive. Why is it one person succeeds where another person fails? First and foremost, I believe it is in their mindset. But secondly, I believe that successful people have developed certain habits, either naturally or through research, that the rest of us haven’t stumbled upon yet. I’ve made a list of some habits to help you set goals and achieve them.

1. Identify your core values

What is important to you? Finding your core values may seem a bit off-topic when it comes to success, but creating goals that are in line with your values is key to creating intrinsicmotivation. Sit and reflect on what you value most. Pick a handful of things and actually write them down. Remind yourself of your values every day, and reflect on whether you are honoring those values through your work.

2. Pick a goal (Focus)

Choose one goal to start. Something large enough that will give you a sense of accomplishment, while aligning well with your core values. Focus is key here. The more focused you are on one goal, the higher chance you have of success. If you spread yourself too thin, you might never complete your projects because they will take far too long. Believe me, multitasking isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

3. Set a deadline for success

Set a date for success. Identify when you hope to achieve your goal. Keep it realistic, while not giving yourself too much time. By setting a time limit, you are making the process more real.

4. Build the right mindset

Believe fully in your ability to achieve your goal. Visualize yourself having completed your goal in the exact time-frame you have chosen, although finishing early is also acceptable. You don’t need to consider the failures that will happen along the way. Success is inevitable. Others may think you will fail, don’t let yourself be one of them! (If you have trouble visualizing success, perhaps a fear of success is limiting you.)

5. Consequences for missing your deadline

Set up negative consequences for missing the deadline. Necessity is the mother of all invention. If you can manage to keep yourself intrinsically motivated, that’s great. If not, this will help kick you into gear and keep your eye on the prize.

6. Weekly and Daily Goals (Plan)

Break down goals by week and by day, setting up a plan to reach your overall objective. Keep the number of tasks per day as low as you can, and focus on completing only your planned tasks for each day. If you find yourself done, pick the next thing from your weekly list. Do the hardest things during your peak energy level, which usually means doing them first!

7. Prioritize

Prioritize the tasks you have in front of you. Don’t always do the most urgent thing first. Pick the task that’s the most important. Sometimes these overlap, which is nice. By always accomplishing what’s most important, you are making clear progress toward your goal.

Also keep in mind that completing the hardest task first is a sure-fire way of increasing your productivity. If you put it off until later in the day, your energy level is bound to drop, and finishing the hard task will seem daunting and maybe even impossible. But, if you start off with the hardest task, when your energy level is high, you will have the focus and energy required to finish it off.

8. Take risks

Push yourself. Go out of your comfort zone. This is the best way to learn, and the best way to make progress quickly. If you’re looking for new ideas, being risk averse will not help. This takes a lot of self-awareness. Try and be conscious of when you are holding yourself back out of fear. Push yourself to be courageous, and take that next step.

9. Perseverance

Failure is inevitable when you take risks, which is what you’ll be doing if you want to succeed. By its very definition, the desire to succeed at something means you are risking failure. Many people tend to give up far too early. Don’t fall into this trap! Remember your mindset earlier, and visualize your success. Know it will happen. A failure is merely you working out the details, and learning what works and what doesn’t. Use failure. Treat it as a good thing, and march on!

10. Reflect

Take time every day to sit quietly and reflect on your values, goals, and progress made so far. Where have you excelled, and where can you do better. Is everything you are doing still lining up with your core values? Always look for ways to improve.

11. Learn

Never stop learning. Know what everyone else is doing, and what everyone else has done, and how they did it. Search wide for knowledge that might help you, and any inspiration that may do the same. Never think you have nothing to learn from others.

篇2:成功人士都有的11个习惯

1. Identify your core values

确定自己的核心价值观

What is important to you? Finding your core values may seem a bit off-topic when it comes to success, but creating goals that are in line with your values is key to creating intrinsicmotivation. Sit and reflect on what you value most. Pick a handful of things and actually write them down. Remind yourself of your values every day, and reflect on whether you are honoring those values through your work.

什么对你来说是重要的?找出你的核心价值观,这看上去可能和成功没什么关系,但是建立和你价值观一致的目标是建立内在激励体系的关键。想一想你最看重的是什么,找出它们并记下来。每天都要提醒一下自己的价值观,并想一想自己有没有通过工作履行这些价值观。

2. Pick a goal (Focus)

选择一个目标(并专注于此)

Choose one goal to start. Something large enough that will give you a sense of accomplishment, while aligning well with your core values. Focus is key here. The more focused you are on one goal, the higher chance you have of success. If you spread yourself too thin, you might never complete your projects because they will take far too long. Believe me, multitasking isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

选择一个目标开始行动。这个目标要足够大,能让你有一种成就感,并和你的核心价值观一致。关键是要集中注意力。对一个目标的关注越多,你成功的可能性就越大。如果你同时做很多事情,可能什么也做不好,你可能永远也不会完成计划,因为需要花费的时间太多。相信我,多任务并不像想象中的那么好。

3. Set a deadline for success

为成功设定期限

Set a date for success. Identify when you hope to achieve your goal. Keep it realistic, while not giving yourself too much time. By setting a time limit, you are making the process more real.

为成功设定一个日期,确定自己希望何时达成目标。设定时要切合实际,但也不要给自己太多时间。设定时间期限可以使成功的梦想更容易成为现实。

4. Build the right mindset

树立正确的心态

Believe fully in your ability to achieve your goal. Visualize yourself having completed your goal in the exact time-frame you have chosen, although finishing early is also acceptable. You don’t need to consider the failures that will happen along the way. Success is inevitable. Others may think you will fail, don’t let yourself be one of them! (If you have trouble visualizing success, perhaps a fear of success is limiting you.)

相信自己有能力实现自己的目标。想象自己恰好在规定的时间内完成了目标——虽然提早完成目标也可以。你不必去想一路上可能会遇到哪些失败。你要认为自己一定会成功。其他人可能认为你会失败,但是你自己不要这么认为!(如果你很难想象自己会成功,也许正是因为你害怕成功。)

5. Consequences for missing your deadline

设定错过最后期限的结果

Set up negative consequences for missing the deadline. Necessity is the mother of all invention. If you can manage to keep yourself intrinsically motivated, that’s great. If not, this will help kick you into gear and keep your eye on the prize.

设定错过期限的不利后果。需要是发明之母。如果你能自我激励,这很好。如果你不能,这种方法会帮助激励你,并让你进入工作状态,把注意力集中在如何能够成功上。

6. Weekly and Daily Goals (Plan)

设定每周和每天的具体目标(计划)

Break down goals by week and by day, setting up a plan to reach your overall objective. Keep the number of tasks per day as low as you can, and focus on completing only your planned tasks for each day. If you find yourself done, pick the next thing from your weekly list. Do the hardest things during your peak energy level, which usually means doing them first!

把目标按周和日进行具体化分解,设定计划来实现总体目标。尽可能把每天的任务数量设得低一点儿,把注意力集中在你所计划的任务上。如果你发现自己完成了任务,从每周任务列表里再选一个目标。在你状态最佳时完成最难的任务,这通常意味着最先去完成它们。

7. Prioritize

设定优先级

Prioritize the tasks you have in front of you. Don’t always do the most urgent thing first. Pick the task that’s the most important. Sometimes these overlap, which is nice. By always accomplishing what’s most important, you are making clear progress toward your goal.

为你面前的任务设定优先级。不要一上来就做最紧急的事情。先要选择最重要的任务。有时最重要的任务也恰巧是最紧急的,这种情况是最好不过的了。每次都完成最重要的任务,你会朝着你的目标取得明显进展。

Also keep in mind that completing the hardest task first is a sure-fire way of increasing your productivity. If you put it off until later in the day, your energy level is bound to drop, and finishing the hard task will seem daunting and maybe even impossible. But, if you start off with the hardest task, when your energy level is high, you will have the focus and energy required to finish it off.

也要记住,先完成最难的任务是提高效率最好的方式。如果你过一会儿再去做它,那时你的精力会下降,你会望而生畏,甚至觉得不可能完成它。但是,如果你先做最难的任务,那时你的状态最佳,你会集中所需的能量和注意力来完成它。

8. Take risks

冒险

Push yourself. Go out of your comfort zone. This is the best way to learn, and the best way to make progress quickly. If you’re looking for new ideas, being risk averse will not help. This takes a lot of self-awareness. Try and be conscious of when you are holding yourself back out of fear. Push yourself to be courageous, and take that next step.

督促自己,离开舒适区。这是学习的最好方式,也是进步最快的最好方式。如果你在寻找新的想法,规避风险是不会有用的。这需要很强的自我意识。当你自己因为害怕而后退时,试着让自己意识到这一点。让自己勇敢一些,并采取下一步。

9. Perseverance

9.坚持到底

Failure is inevitable when you take risks, which is what you’ll be doing if you want to succeed. By its very definition, the desire to succeed at something means you are risking failure. Many people tend to give up far too early. Don’t fall into this trap! Remember your mindset earlier, and visualize your success. Know it will happen. A failure is merely you working out the details, and learning what works and what doesn’t. Use failure. Treat it as a good thing, and march on!

当你冒险时,失败是不可避免的。如果你想成功,就得冒险。从成功的定义上去理解,你想要顺利完成某件事情,就意味着你正冒着失败的风险,很多人都放弃地太早。不要陷入这个陷阱!早点儿调整心态,并想象成功。坚信自己会成功,一次失败只不过是你需要处理的一些细节,让你知道哪些管用,哪些不管用。把失败为我所用。把它看成是一件好事,并继续前进!

10. Reflect

反思

Take time every day to sit quietly and reflect on your values, goals, and progress made so far. Where have you excelled, and where can you do better. Is everything you are doing still lining up with your core values? Always look for ways to improve.

每天花点儿时间安静地坐着反思自己的价值观、目标和目前的进步。想想哪个地方做得很好,哪些地方可以做得更好。现在所做的事情是不是符合你的核心价值观?随时去寻找方法来加以改善。

11. Learn

学习

Never stop learning. Know what everyone else is doing, and what everyone else has done, and how they did it. Search wide for knowledge that might help you, and any inspiration that may do the same. Never think you have nothing to learn from others.

不要停止学习。要知道别人在做什么,别人做了什么,以及他们怎么做的。搜寻能对你有所帮助的知识或能激励你的事情。不要认为别人没什么值得你学习的。

篇3:成功人士的事迹11个

成功人士的事迹7:在枪弹声中练琴的马克西姆

克罗地亚天才的古典钢琴演奏者——马克西姆,从小在钢琴演奏上天赋过人。1990年战争爆发,他被困地窖八天。在此期间,他每天自我激励:“我们的小镇到处都是枪弹,但是你不能因此而停滞不前——你必须生存下去,钢琴就是你的唯一。”于是,在四周的一片枪弹声中,他依旧坚持每天练琴七小时,并在战火中举行了音乐会。“我总是想尝试些新的不同的东西。我衷心希望的就是能把古典音乐传播给所有年龄段的,更多的听众。这是我的梦想。”这个有着俊秀脸庞的东欧男人如是说。

“逆风的地方更适合飞翔,我不怕千万人阻挡,只怕自己投降”,就像歌词中唱到的那样,马克西姆不放弃自己的信念,在恶劣的环境中坚守自己的梦想,最终成为一名真正的“钢琴玩家”。人在旅途就好像渔船在海上航行,总免不了遭受风雨的袭击。困难的冲击总会令人感觉难以忍受,但也唯有这样的冲击才能使我们更加坚定自己的信念。相信这样的磨砺总会过去,心头的苦痛也迟早会化作幸福的泪水。不要畏惧前方的路途有多么黑暗,只要意志坚定,信念就会化作一盏明灯,驱散心头的所有恐惧。

成功人士的事迹8:虚心拜师的梅兰芳

京剧大师梅兰芳不仅在京剧艺术上有很深的造诣,而且还是丹青妙手。他拜名画家齐白石为师,虚心求教,总是执弟子之礼,经常为白石老人磨墨铺纸,全不因自己是个名演员而自傲。梅兰芳不仅拜名画家为师,也拜普通人为师。有一次他在演出京剧《杀惜》时,在众多喝彩叫好声中,听到有个老年观众说“不好”。梅兰芳来不及卸妆更衣就用专车把这位老人接到家中,恭恭敬敬地对老人说:“说我不好的人,是我的老师。先生说我不好,必有高见,敬请赐教,学生决心亡羊补牢。”老人指出:“阎惜姣上楼和下楼的台步,按梨园规定,应是上七下八,博士为何八上八下?”梅兰芳恍然大悟,连声称谢。以后梅兰芳经常请这位老先生观看他演戏,请他指正,称他为“老师”。

正如泰戈尔所说:“当我们大为谦卑的时候,便是我们最近于伟大的时候。”梅兰芳大师不满足于自己取得的成就,把自己的姿态放得很低,所以别人只要有一点长处,他马上就可以看到并学习。同时,他也懂得尊重别人。谦虚和尊重使他的能力、智慧、人生的境界,在不知不觉中就提高了。自然,他也赢得了别人的尊重。

成功人士的事迹9:用美德约束自己的富兰克林

本杰明·富兰克林是美国历史上最有影响力的伟人之一。作为科学家、作家、外交家、发明家、画家、哲学家的富兰克林博学多才,他自修法文、西班牙文、意大利文、拉丁文,并引导美国走上独立之路。富兰克林在年轻时就发明了一种方法,他首先列出获得成功必不可少的十三个条件:节制、沉默、秩序、果断、节俭、勤奋、诚恳、公正、中庸、清洁、平静、纯洁和谦逊。然后,富兰克林决心获得这十三种美德,并养成习惯。为此,他设计了一个成功记录表,每一项美德占去一页,画好格子,每天晚上反省时若发现有当天未达到的地方,就用笔作个记号。

美国教育学家威廉·詹姆士说:“播下一种行为,收获一种习惯;播下一种习惯,收获一种性格;播下一种性格,收获一种命运。”富兰克林的一切成功与幸福可以说都来自于将美德化为习惯的发明,那就是对习惯的控制。好的习惯,意味着游刃有余,举重若轻;意味着淡定从容,处变不惊;意味着自由快乐,心怀坦荡;意味着信守承诺,风雨无阻;意味着自强不息,勇于攀登;意味着良好的个性和一生的幸福。所以,成功绝不是偶然。

篇4:成功人士的事迹11个

成功人士的事迹10:斯皮尔伯格:从小就是“大导演”

史蒂文·斯皮尔伯格,1946年出生在美国俄亥俄州的辛辛那提市。他从小就是一名“大导演”。12岁时,他成了家里的“家庭摄影师”,先是用8厘米摄影机记录家人的生活;不久,就开始试验各种特殊效果,譬如夜空中的异光、玩具火车的撞毁等;后来更开始编排情节,自己搞起剪辑和配音来。

为了满足这位“小导演”的少年梦幻,他爸爸、妈妈和3个妹妹都成了随唤随到的免费而忠实的演员。有一次,他母亲还用压力锅闷煮30罐樱桃,让它爆开来,将厨房喷得“血淋淋”,好让他能拍些“非常恐怖的理想画面”去参加摄影比赛,而他也真的夺得了奖章。

15岁时,他就完成了40分钟长度的作品——《无处可逃》,后来又拍了十几部作品,经费都来自假日打工。

至今,他已3次荣获奥斯卡奖,并且是有史以来电影总票房最高的导演。

斯皮尔伯格自小就不与其他孩子思维相同,不沉溺于游戏中,而是执着于自己的兴趣,为以后的艺业打下基础。不一样的思维,造就了不一样的人生。孔子说:“知之者不如好之者,好之者不如乐之者。”兴趣爱好是激发我们努力的一种无形的催化剂,是打开成功之门的钥匙。但有了兴趣还不够,还要为之努力,坚持不懈。如果父母能为孩子的成才创造良好的家庭环境、创造有利的条件,支持孩子的兴趣爱好,那孩子就离成功更近一步了。

成功人士的事迹11:以努力创造奇迹的林书豪

夏天,林书豪大学毕业后没能在NBA选秀大会上被选中,但随后作为自由球员加盟了家乡球队金州勇士,在效力勇士队的一年里林书豪并不显山露水,还曾经三次被下放到发展联盟。12月,NBA停摆结束后,林书豪被勇士队裁掉,随后短暂加盟火箭队又被裁掉。正在他痛苦等待机会甚至考虑加盟CBA的时候,缺少控球后卫的纽约尼克斯队决定在这个华人小子身上试试运气。加盟尼克斯之后的一个多月里,林书豪仍然表现平凡。但就在2月,林书豪突然爆发出了超级巨星的能量,在一周之内的连续四场比赛里,以一己之力率领困境之中的球队打出了四连胜,震惊了整个NBA。奇迹不是天上掉下的馅饼。尽管长期不能上场,林书豪仍早早来到体育馆训练并主动与教练沟通,令教练在没有计划用他时也会考虑给坚持不懈努力付出的人应有的机会。

在篮球明星大腕林立的NBA舞台,当替补,坐冷板凳,时时面临被裁员的威胁是家常便饭。也许有的人就被消磨了意志,放弃了梦想,而林书豪却始终明白自己该做些什么,每天信心十足地进行体能训练,聚精会神地“阅读”比赛。机会往往会出现在不经意间,机会都是留给有准备的人。林书豪抓住了微小的机会,用努力扭转了命运。科比曾为林书豪的表现折服:“那些具备真才实学的球员很多时候只是无展示之地,如果你回头看看,你可能会发现,事实上他从一开始就那么优秀,只是从未引起人们的注意。”

篇5:成功人士的11个心理特征

控制及措施的欲望

他们通常非常执意于自己的决策,不习惯只听命于人。如果你在公司里是一个唯唯诺诺、不吭一声的人,或只是一个虽不喜欢公司的环境,但又没有勇气辞职自创前途的人,要成为创业者还有一段距离。

自信

他们普通都有很强的自信心,有时有咄咄逼人的感觉。

急迫感

创业家通常很急地想见到事物的成果,因此会给别人带来许多的压力。他们信任时间就是金钱,时间就是效率,不喜欢也不会把宝贵的时间浪费在琐碎无聊的事情上。

脚踏实地

做事实在,不会为了使自己舒服一点而马虎从事。

崇高的理想

为了实现个人理想,他们不会计较虚名。他们生活简单朴实,必要时常常身兼数职。

情绪稳定

他们通常不喜形于色,也很少在人前抱怨,发牢骚。遇到困难时,他们总是坚韧不拔地去突破困境。

喜欢迎接挑战

喜欢承担风险,但并不是盲目地冒险。他们乐于接受挑战,并从克服困难中获得无穷乐趣。

健康的身体

创业家通常必须在不寻常的时间料理事物,如果你有某种宿疾,那么你的创业之路必定满布荆棘、困难重重。

广泛的知识

几乎大事小事无所不知。他们既能掌握事情全盘的来龙去脉,又能明察秋毫。

超人的能力

他们能够从杂乱无章的事物中,整理出一套逻辑的构架。有时候他作决策时会全凭直觉。

客观的人际关系态度

他们为了事业往往是冷酷无情、不顾情面了,给人以大公无私、就事论事的感觉。

篇6:成功人士必看书籍:高效能人士的11个习惯

内容简介

书摘

有人曾说过这样一句话:“成功是优点的发挥,失败是缺点的积累。”作为高效能人士,首先应清楚地意识到自己的优势所在,同时要善于把优势逐渐“放大”,让优势的力量发挥出来。

现在,发现能改变你一生的优势。有一个法国人,在学习、工作和事业上都很不顺心。他没有好的家庭背景,只有中学学历,在一家小公司里从事打扫厕所卫生的工作。他对自己缺乏信心,觉得自己的人生充满悲哀和无奈。几乎整整五年,他每天早上起床后,就一成不变地上班、干活,与有限的几个朋友来往。他已经接受了这种生活方式,认为自己的生活只能如此。有一天,一位老人搬到了他的隔壁。这位老人看这个年轻人比较消沉,说自己不仅能预知未来,还知道别人的前生。老人告诉年轻人,他的前生是拿破仑,是历史上非常伟大的政治家、军事家和领导人之一。年轻人表面装作极不相信地离开了,但心里却有了一种从未有过的伟大感觉。他对拿破仑产生了浓厚的兴趣。回家后,他就想方设法找到与拿破仑有关的一切书籍来学习。他开始了解拿破仑的生活以及他的领导才能、性格和品质方面的细节和优势。他慢慢地发现,自己身上也潜藏着同样的一些优势。他研究拿破仑在领兵打仗时表观出的领导才能、指挥才能和统帅才能,越来越发现自己也具有同样的潜能。他开始研究其他军事将领和军事史,还研读了商场和战场领导方法的书。他时常发现,自己具有历史上各国领导者表现出的许多相同的优势。这些优势越积越多,在工作中,他的言谈举止越来越像一位领导者。他主动请求改变自己的工作职位,承接一些他原先想都没有想过的任务。公司领导感觉到他不再是以前那个无所事事的员工,全身都透出一种精明能干的干劲,于是开始交给他一些带有挑战性的工作。每次遇到更难的工作时,年轻人已不再胆怯和害怕,他全身心地投入工作,并出色地完成任务,还在业余时间学习与工作有关的业务知识。他所了解的知识越来越多,经验也越来越丰富,理所当然,他的职位得到不断的提升。经过几年的进步,他已经完全摆脱了以前那种认为自己毫无优势的形象,彻底转变成了一个大胆、自信的管理者,成为了行业的佼佼者……

高效能人士的首要特征也是专注。专注是指将身心的力量同时只运用在某一个中心问题上。我们要知道多个中心等于没有中心。专注的人始终围绕一个目标奋斗,始终坚持“要事第一”,于是成功便不再那么遥不可及。

篇7:成功人士都有的11个好习惯

习惯对我们的生活有绝大影响,因为它是一贯的。在不知不觉中,经年累月地影响着我们的品德,暴露出我们的本性,左右着我们的成败。 在现代社会,要想做一名成功人士,创造卓越的成就,就必须从培养良好的个人习惯入手。

We all want to succeed. Whether it’s in losing weight, learning the guitar, speed reading, or starting our own business. For those of us who have tried and failed, success seems elusive. Why is it one person succeeds where another person fails? First and foremost, I believe it is in their mindset. But secondly, I believe that successful people have developed certain habits, either naturally or through research, that the rest of us haven’t stumbled upon yet. I’ve made a list of some habits to help you set goals and achieve them.

1. Identify your core values确定自己的核心价值观

What is important to you? Finding your core values may seem a bit off-topic when it comes to success, but creating goals that are in line with your values is key to creating intrinsic motivation. Sit and reflect on what you value most. Pick a handful of things and actually write them down. Remind yourself of your values every day, and reflect on whether you are honoring those values through your work.

什么对你来说是重要的?找出你的核心价值观,这看上去可能和成功没什么关系,但是建立和你价值观一致的目标是建立内在激励体系的关键。想一想你最看重的是什么,找出它们并记下来。每天都要提醒一下自己的价值观,并想一想自己有没有通过工作履行这些价值观。

2. Pick a goal (Focus)选择一个目标(并专注于此)

Choose one goal to start. Something large enough that will give you a sense of accomplishment, while aligning well with your core values. Focus is key here. The more focused you are on one goal, the higher chance you have of success. If you spread yourself too thin, you might never complete your projects because they will take far too long. Believe me, multitasking isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

选择一个目标开始行动。这个目标要足够大,能让你有一种成就感,并和你的核心价值观一致。关键是要集中注意力。对一个目标的关注越多,你成功的可能性就越大。如果你同时做很多事情,可能什么也做不好,你可能永远也不会完成计划,因为需要花费的时间太多。相信我,多任务并不像想象中的那么好。

3. Set a deadline for success为成功设定期限

Set a date for success. Identify when your hope to achieve your goal. Keep it realistic, while not giving yourself too much time. By setting a time limit, you are making the process more real.

为成功设定一个日期,确定自己希望何时达成目标。设定时要切合实际,但也不要给自己太多时间。设定时间期限可以使成功的梦想更容易成为现实。

4. Build the right mindset树立正确的心态

Believe fully in your ability to achieve your goal. Visualize yourself having completed your goal in the exact time-frame you have chosen, although finishing early is also acceptable. You don’t need to consider the failures that will happen along the way. Success is inevitable. Others may think you will fail, don’t let yourself be one of them! (If you have trouble visualizing success, perhaps a fear of success is limiting you.)

相信自己有能力实现自己的目标。想象自己恰好在规定的时间内完成了目标——虽然提早完成目标也可以。你不必去想一路上可能会遇到哪些失败。你要认为自己一定会成功。其他人可能认为你会失败,但是你自己不要这么认为!(如果你很难想象自己会成功,也许正是因为你害怕成功。)

5. Consequences for missing your deadline设定错过最后期限的结果

Set up negative consequences for missing the deadline. Necessity is the mother of all invention. If you can manage to keep yourself intrinsically motivated, that’s great. If not, this will help kick you into gear and keep your eye on the prize.设定错过期限的不利后果。

需要是发明之母。如果你能自我激励,这很好。如果你不能,这种方法会帮助激励你,并让你进入工作状态,把注意力集中在如何能够成功上。

6. Weekly and Daily Goals (Plan)设定每周和每天的具体目标(计划)

Break down goals by week and by day, setting up a plan to reach your overall objective. Keep the number of tasks per day as low as you can, and focus on completing only your planned tasks for each day. If you find yourself done, pick the next thing from your weekly list. Do the hardest things during your peak energy level, which usually means doing them first!

把目标按周和日进行具体化分解,设定计划来实现总体目标。尽可能把每天的任务数量设得低一点儿,把注意力集中在你所计划的任务上。如果你发现自己完成了任务,从每周任务列表里再选一个目标。在你状态最佳时完成最难的任务,这通常意味着最先去完成它们。

7. Prioritize设定优先级

Prioritize the tasks you have in front of you. Don’t always do the most urgent thing first. Pick the task that’s the most important. Sometimes these overlap, which is nice. By always accomplishing what’s most important, you are making clear progress toward your goal.

为你面前的任务设定优先级。不要一上来就做最紧急的事情。先要选择最重要的任务。有时最重要的任务也恰巧是最紧急的,这种情况是最好不过的了。每次都完成最重要的任务,你会朝着你的目标取得明显进展。

Also keep in mind that completing the hardest task first is a sure-fire way of increasing your productivity. If you put it off until later in the day, your energy level is bound to drop, and finishing the hard task will seem daunting and maybe even impossible. But, if you start off with the hardest task, when your energy level is high, you will have the focus and energy required to finish it off.

也要记住,先完成最难的任务是提高效率最好的方式。如果你过一会儿再去做它,那时你的精力会下降,你会望而生畏,甚至觉得不可能完成它。但是,如果你先做最难的任务,那时你的状态最佳,你会集中所需的能量和注意力来完成它。

8. Take risks冒险

Push yourself. Go out of your comfort zone. This is the best way to learn, and the best way to make progress quickly. If you’re looking for new ideas, being risk averse will not help. This takes a lot of self-awareness. Try and be conscious of when you are holding yourself back out of fear. Push yourself to be courageous, and take that next step.

督促自己,离开舒适区。这是学习的最好方式,也是进步最快的最好方式。如果你在寻找新的想法,规避风险是不会有用的。这需要很强的自我意识。当你自己因为害怕而后退时,试着让自己意识到这一点。让自己勇敢一些,并采取下一步。

9. Perseverance9.坚持到底

Failure is inevitable when you take risks, which is what you’ll be doing if you want to succeed. By its very definition, the desire to succeed at something means you are risking failure. Many people tend to give up far too early. Don’t fall into this trap! Remember your mindset earlier, and visualize your success. Know it will happen. A failure is merely you working out the details, and learning what works and what doesn’t. Use failure. Treat it as a good thing, and march on!

当你冒险时,失败是不可避免的。如果你想成功,就得冒险。从成功的定义上去理解,你想要顺利完成某件事情,就意味着你正冒着失败的风险,很多人都放弃地太早。不要陷入这个陷阱!早点儿调整心态,并想象成功。坚信自己会成功,一次失败只不过是你需要处理的一些细节,让你知道哪些管用,哪些不管用。把失败为我所用。把它看成是一件好事,并继续前进!

10. Reflect反思

Take time every day to sit quietly and reflect on your values, goals, and progress made so far. Where have you excelled, and where can you do better. Is everything you are doing still lining up with your core values? Always look for ways to improve.

每天花点儿时间安静地坐着反思自己的价值观、目标和目前的进步。想想哪个地方做得很好,哪些地方可以做得更好。现在所做的事情是不是符合你的核心价值观?随时去寻找方法来加以改善。

11. Learn学习

Never stop learning. Know what everyone else is doing, and what everyone else has done, and how they did it. Search wide for knowledge that might help you, and any inspiration that may do the same. Never think you have nothing to learn from others.

不要停止学习。要知道别人在做什么,别人做了什么,以及他们怎么做的。搜寻能对你有所帮助的知识或能激励你的事情。不要认为别人没什么值得你学习的。
