Become Your Greatest Fan
做自己的超級粉絲
We live in a world where it is rare for people to compliment and encourage others. Take a moment to think about your interactions in the last month. I bet you are like most people; you can count your compliments and acknowledgements on one hand.
我們生活在這樣一個世界里,很少有人贊美和鼓勵他人。花點時間想想你在上個月的人際交流互動。我打賭你像大多數人一樣,用五個手指頭就可以數得出來你對他人的贊美之詞和致謝之情。
My straightforward advice then is for you fill those shoes yourself. Don’t depend on others to be your cheerleader. You need to become your greatest fan and supporter.
我坦率地建議,由你自己來補位。不要依賴他人做你的啦啦隊長。你需要成為你自己最大的粉絲和支持者。
As you are learning in all of my lessons, there are hundreds of little things that go into achieving your personal best. You just cannot reasonably expect others to know all the little things you are doing each day and recognize you for them.
當你正在學習我所有的經驗教訓的同時,有數以百計的瑣事幫助你成就最好的自己。只是你不能太過期望別人知曉你每天所做的所有瑣事,并得到他們的認可。
Speaker and best selling author Brian Tracy said, “You have to put in many, many, many tiny efforts that nobody sees or appreciates before you achieve anything worthwhile.” This is why it is up to you to recognize yourself for even your smallest of efforts.
演講家兼暢銷書的作者布萊恩·特蕾西說,“在你沒有取得任何有價值的成就之前,你必須投入許多,許多,許多微小的努力,而這些努力無人看到也無人欣賞。“這就是為什么你要為自己還微不足道的努力而賞識認可自己。
It’s All About YOU
這些全都關乎你
If you choose to exercise even though you didn’t feel like it, look in the mirror, smile to yourself and say, “great job!”
如果你選擇運動,即使你不想做,照照鏡子,對自己微笑,說,“好樣的!”
If you have the propensity to make poor food choices, but today you made a good choice, tell yourself how happy you are about the decision you made.
如果你傾向于選擇糟糕的膳食,但是今天你做了一個不錯的選擇,告訴自己,你對自己所做的這個決定多么開心。
If you have been going the extra mile to really listen to people and not interrupt, then congratulate yourself on your progress.
如果你一直持續地額外付出,真正地傾聽他人而不是打斷,你該慶幸自己的進步。
If you were proud of the way you handled a difficult situation, spend a few minutes and think about how you are growing as a person.
如果你為自己處理困難的方式而倍感驕傲,花幾分鐘思考一下,作為一個普通人如何更好地成長。
If you have just achieved a personal goal, go out to your favorite restaurant to celebrate.
如果你剛剛達成了一個個人目標,去你喜歡的餐廳慶祝一下吧。
If you are working on being more likable and you a leave conversation feeling like you really connected with the other person, then give yourself a high five.
如果你正在變得更加可愛,在與對方結束談話時,真正感覺到你與他人密切相連,就為自己擊掌慶祝吧。
If being friendly does not come natural to you, but today you pushed yourself to smile, make eye contact and say hi to the store clerk, then reflect on the experience and push yourself to keep taking these baby steps each day.
如果你對人友善會讓你感到不自然,但是今天你強迫自己微笑,用眼神接觸對方并對店員打招呼,然后反思這些經驗,并強迫自己每天一小步循序漸進地進行。
If your co-workers are speaking poorly of someone and while you share their views you withhold your comment, be proud of your restraint.
如果你的同事貶低他人,你同意他們的說法,而你卻做到三緘其口不予評論,你該對你的克制而倍感驕傲。
There are numerous opportunities in the course of a normal day to do things that will make you a better person- a person worthy of achieving your goals. When you do these things, whether small or large, pat yourself on the back and give yourself the confidence to keep pushing.
日常做事情的過程中有很多機會,讓你成為一個更好的人——一個名副其實達成目標的人。當你做這些事情,無論是小事或者大事,拍拍自己的背,給自己信心,繼續努力。
Please know this is not about being conceited or egotistical. It’s about acknowledging the good things you do and recognizing yourself for them. To me it is pretty simple. If you aren’t saying positive and encouraging things to yourself,it will be hard to feel good about the person you're becoming.
請認清楚,這不是自負或者任性。它只與承認自己所做的美好的事,認識自己相關。對我來說,這非常簡單。如果你自己不用積極的語言來鼓勵自己,那將很難讓你為自己感到自豪。
