成功人士都有的11個(gè)好習(xí)慣

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.

我們每個(gè)人都渴望成功。有人想成功地減肥、學(xué)吉他,也有人想學(xué)會(huì)快速閱讀或開始創(chuàng)業(yè)。對于那些曾經(jīng)嘗試過但卻以失敗告終的人們而言，成功看起來難以捉摸。為什么有人成功而有人失敗呢?首先，我認(rèn)為這與人們的心態(tài)有關(guān)。其次，我相信成功的人士養(yǎng)成了一些習(xí)慣，這些習(xí)慣可能是他們天生就具有的，也可能是后天養(yǎng)成的，但卻是我們其他人不具有的好習(xí)慣。聽力課堂把一些好習(xí)慣列出了一張清單，希望可以幫助正在閱讀這篇文章的你設(shè)定并實(shí)現(xiàn)目標(biāo)。

1. Identify your core values 確定自己的核心價(jià)值觀

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.

什么對你來說是重要的?找出你的核心價(jià)值觀，這看上去可能和成功沒什么關(guān)系，但是建立和你價(jià)值觀一致的目標(biāo)是建立內(nèi)在激勵(lì)體系的關(guān)鍵。想一想你最看重的是什么，找出它們并記下來。每天都要提醒一下自己的價(jià)值觀，并想一想自己有沒有通過工作履行這些價(jià)值觀。

2. Pick a goal (Focus) 選擇一個(gè)目標(biāo)(并專注于此)

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.

選擇一個(gè)目標(biāo)開始行動(dòng)。這個(gè)目標(biāo)要足夠大，能讓你有一種成就感，并和你的核心價(jià)值觀一致。關(guān)鍵是要集中注意力。對一個(gè)目標(biāo)的關(guān)注越多，你成功的可能性就越大。如果你同時(shí)做很多事情，可能什么也做不好，你可能永遠(yuǎn)也不會(huì)完成計(jì)劃，因?yàn)樾枰ㄙM(fèi)的時(shí)間太多。相信我，多重任務(wù)并不像想象中的那么好。

3. Set a deadline for success 為成功設(shè)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.

為成功設(shè)定一個(gè)日期，確定自己希望何時(shí)達(dá)成目標(biāo)。設(shè)定時(shí)要切合實(shí)際，但也不要給自己太多時(shí)間。設(shè)定時(shí)間期限可以使成功的夢想更容易成為現(xiàn)實(shí)。

4. Build the right mindset 樹立正確的心態(tài)

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.)

相信自己有能力實(shí)現(xiàn)自己的目標(biāo)。想象自己恰好在規(guī)定的時(shí)間內(nèi)完成了目標(biāo)——雖然提早完成目標(biāo)也可以。你不必去想一路上可能會(huì)遇到哪些失敗。你要認(rèn)為自己一定會(huì)成功。其他人可能認(rèn)為你會(huì)失敗，但是你自己不要這么認(rèn)為!(如果你很難想象自己會(huì)成功，也許正是因?yàn)槟愫ε鲁晒Α?

5. Consequences for missing your deadline 設(shè)想錯(cuò)過最后期限的結(jié)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.

設(shè)定錯(cuò)過期限的不利后果。需要是發(fā)明之母。如果你能自我激勵(lì)，這很好。如果你不能，這種方法會(huì)幫助激勵(lì)你，并讓你進(jìn)入工作狀態(tài)，把注意力集中在如何能夠成功上。

6. Weekly and Daily Goals (Plan) 設(shè)定每周和每天的具體目標(biāo)(計(jì)劃)

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!

把目標(biāo)按周和日進(jìn)行具體化分解，設(shè)定計(jì)劃來實(shí)現(xiàn)總體目標(biāo)。盡可能把每天的任務(wù)數(shù)量設(shè)得低一點(diǎn)兒，把注意力集中在你所計(jì)劃的任務(wù)上。如果你發(fā)現(xiàn)自己完成了任務(wù)，從每周任務(wù)列表里再選一個(gè)目標(biāo)。在你狀態(tài)最佳時(shí)完成最難的任務(wù)，這通常意味著最先去完成它們。

7. Prioritize 設(shè)定優(yōu)先級

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.

為你面前的任務(wù)設(shè)定優(yōu)先級。不要一上來就做最緊急的事情。先要選擇最重要的任務(wù)。有時(shí)最重要的任務(wù)也恰巧是最緊急的，這種情況是最好不過的了。每次都完成最重要的任務(wù)，你會(huì)朝著你的目標(biāo)取得明顯進(jìn)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.

也要記住，先完成最難的任務(wù)是提高效率最好的方式。如果你過一會(huì)兒再去做它，那時(shí)你的精力會(huì)下降，你會(huì)望而生畏，甚至覺得不可能完成它。但是，如果你先做最難的任務(wù)，那時(shí)你的狀態(tài)最佳，你會(huì)集中所需的能量和注意力來完成它。

8. Take risks冒險(xiǎn)

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，離開舒適區(qū)。這是學(xué)習(xí)的最好方式，也是進(jìn)步最快的最好方式。如果你在尋找新的想法，規(guī)避風(fēng)險(xiǎn)是不會(huì)有用的。這需要很強(qiáng)的自我意識。當(dāng)你自己因?yàn)楹ε露笸藭r(shí)，試著讓自己意識到這一點(diǎn)。讓自己勇敢一些，并采取下一步。

9. Perseverance 堅(jiān)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!

當(dāng)你冒險(xiǎn)時(shí)，失敗是不可避免的。如果你想成功，就得冒險(xiǎn)。從成功的定義上去理解，你想要順利完成某件事情，就意味著你正冒著失敗的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)，很多人都放棄地太早。不要陷入這個(gè)陷阱!早點(diǎn)兒調(diào)整心態(tài)，并想象成功。堅(jiān)信自己會(huì)成功，一次失敗只不過是你需要處理的一些細(xì)節(jié)，讓你知道哪些管用，哪些不管用。把失敗為我所用。把它看成是一件好事，并繼續(xù)前進(jìn)!

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.

每天花點(diǎn)兒時(shí)間安靜地坐著反思自己的價(jià)值觀、目標(biāo)和目前的進(jìn)步。想想哪個(gè)地方做得很好，哪些地方可以做得更好?，F(xiàn)在所做的事情是不是符合你的核心價(jià)值觀?隨時(shí)去尋找方法來加以改善。

11. Learn 學(xué)習(xí)

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.

不要停止學(xué)習(xí)。要知道別人在做什么，別人做了什么，以及他們怎么做的。搜尋能對你有所幫助的知識或能激勵(lì)你的事情。不要認(rèn)為別人沒什么值得你學(xué)習(xí)的。
