Hi!everybody, this is Tod Smith with Little Things Matter.The title of today's lesson is 14 Ways to Build Your Self-Esteem by Denis Waitley.
大家好。我是托德·史密斯為您講述“小事也重要”。今天的題目是14種方式建立起你的自尊——丹尼斯-韋特利
Recently I listened to an interview between Denis Waitley, one of the greatest teachers in human achievement and Darren Hardy, publisher of Success Magazine. One of the questions Hardy asked Waitley was, “How can people improve their self-esteem?”
最近我收聽了《成功雜志》的出版商達倫-哈代對丹尼斯-韋特利的訪談，后者是人類成就學領域最杰出的講師之一。(其中)哈代問惠特利的一個問題是：“人們如何提升自尊感?”
Waitley first defined the term by saying, “Your self-esteem is the deep-down, inside-the-skin feeling of your own worth, regardless of how you look or where you came from. It is the feeling of worthiness—just being glad you are you. It’s the feeling of identity—finding something unique about yourself. It has the feeling of competency—if I do something and it works out, it gives me the courage to do something more.”
惠特利首先對“自尊”做了定義，說“你的自尊是內心深處對于自我價值的感知，它不受制于你的長相或你的出身。它是對(自我)價值的鑒賞，為自我的存在感到快樂。它是對(自我)身份的鑒賞，發覺自己的獨特魅力。它有著對(自我)能力的鑒賞，即如果我把一件事做得很好，這就使我有了勇氣去做更多的事情。”
Continuing, Waitley listed fourteen ways that people can strengthen their self-esteem.
接著，惠特利列舉了14種方式，都是幫助人們加強自尊的。
1. Lead with your hand. When you walk into a room always lead with your hand by offering a firm handshake. This gives you a feeling of self-assurance and indicates to others that you are confident in who you are.
1. 從手開始。當你走進一個房間，你要時常先給對方一個堅定的握手。這能給你自我肯定的感覺，也給他人展現出你的自信。
2. Make eye contact. Making eye contact indicates you are a caring person capable of holding the glass of another person.
2. 眼神交流。眼神的交流顯示了你是一個關切他人的人，能夠幫助他人。
3. Offer Your Name First When meeting people, always introduce yourself by saying your name.
3. 先報上名。當你和人會面時，應該時常自報姓名地介紹自己。
4. Smile. A smile indicates there’s a light on in your window and that you are a caring and sharing person inside.
4. 保持微笑。一個微笑就像一窗戶上的一道光，表示你是真心關懷和分享的人。
5. Dress your best. Always dress your best—not necessarily in designer clothing—and take pride in how you look. It’s the outside of the package that draws people in.
5. 漂亮穿衣。永遠要穿你最漂亮的衣服——不一定是名牌的——為自己的打扮感到自豪。外在的包裝也拉近人的距離。
6. Ask engaging questions. When you ask questions you are demonstrating your genuine interest in others.
6. 魅力提問。當你提問時，你是在展示你對他人真正所感興趣的地方。
7. Sit in front. When you attend meetings, sit up front and be an active participant.
7. 坐在前面。當你參加會議時，要坐在前排，做積極的與會人。
8. Walk with confidence. Walk with a spring in your step—a certain type of charisma and feeling about yourself.
8. 步伐自信。走路步伐要輕快——領導者的一個典型特征，自我鑒賞。
9. Use a positive explanatory style. Listen carefully to how people describe themselves, as that often tells a lot about how people feel about themselves. Do they say negative things? Do they make excuses? Always explain yourself with a positive explanatory style.
9. 積極闡述。認真地聽別人闡述自己，這通常也表明他們如何看待他們自己。他們會說自己的負面信息嗎?他們給自己找托詞嗎?你要一直用積極的言語闡述你自己。
