What Is Easy to Do Is Easy Not to Do
最容易做的往往是最難做的
Know it—Do it
知道與行動
We know we should listen without interrupting, but we still find ourselves interrupting. We know we need to finish our projects on time, yet we find ourselves missing deadlines. We know we should remember someone’s name, but yet we don’t pay attention and forget. We know we should answer that email or return that phone call, yet we keep putting it off.
我們知道我們應該傾聽而不中斷,但我們仍然發現自己打斷他人。我們知道我們需要按時完成我們的項目,但是我們發現自己錯過最后期限。我們知道我們應該記住別人的名字,但我們不注意也忘記。我們知道我們應該回復電子郵件或電話,但我們總是敷衍了事。
The reason this lesson is one of the foundational pillars for Little Things Matter is because any big success is made up of little successes. As Coach John Wooden said, “Little things make big things happen.”
這教訓之所以至關重要，原因是一個個小事情構成大事業的支柱,因為任何大成功是由小成功構成。就如教練約翰木說,“小事做好了大事情才能成功。”
If you are going to be successful at anything personally or professionally, it will result from doing the little things that, for the most part, are easy to do but also easy to neglect.
如果你要在任何個人或專業上成功,它來源自做小事情的結果,在大多數情況下,很容易做但是也容易忽視,在大多數情況下,小事很容易做但是也容易忽視。
Be Consistent
始終如一地
Not only is it necessary to use your personal initiative to do the little things that are easy to do, the key is doing them consistently. Most people do push themselves to do something for a short time, but very few people will do the things they should over an extended period of time.
不僅有必要運用你的個人主動能動性做容易做的小事情,關鍵是始終如一地做好這些。大多數人都迫使自己短暫地做一些事情,但很少有人會較長一段時間做事情，而這些本是理所應當。
Being consistent in doing the little things you know you should do has many positive results beyond the obvious desired outcome of achieving your goals. You will become more respected and admired. You will develop new friendships and build deeper relationships with people in both your personal life and professional life. You will feel better about yourself and the person you are becoming.
始終如一地做你應該做的小事情，除了明顯的實現你的目標期望的結果外，還有許多積極的結果。你將變得更加受人尊敬和欽佩。你會在你的個人生活和職業生活中，開發新的友誼和與人建立更深的關系。你會對自己感覺更好,感覺你正成為你要成為的人。
So, why don’t we do the little things that are easy to do? The reason is because they are so-o-o-o easy not to do—to neglect, to procrastinate, to promise ourselves that we will do it tomorrow.
所以,為什么我們不去做那些容易做的小事情呢?原因是,因為他們是太容易不做，太容易被忽視,被拖延,太容易承諾自己,我們將明天再做。
Another reason could be the fact that when the little things are looked at individually, we don’t value their importance. Napoleon Hill said, “A big success is made up from a great number of little circumstances each of which may seem so small and insignificant most people pass them by as not being worthy of notice.”
另一個原因可能是,當小事情單獨看,我們沒有覺得它的重要性。拿破侖·希爾說,“一個大的成功由許多小的事情構成，通常情況下，每個小狀況看起來如此的微不足道,大多數人認為不值得注意而輕易放過他們。”
