Personal Accountability—A Requirement for Life Advancement
個人擔當-一個要求有進步的生活
Accountability is normally viewed as being responsible—giving an explanation of your actions—to somebody for something. However, today’s lesson is not about someone holding you accountable. It’s about you holding yourself accountable.
個人擔當常常被看作一種責任,用來解釋你的行為和某些人所做的事。然而,今天的課并不是要你對別人負責,而是你要對你自己負責。
When you take 100 percent responsibility for holding yourself accountable, your performance will improve, your relationships will flourish, your market value will soar, people’s respect for you will skyrocket, you will be a great example for others to follow, and your self-esteem will grow.
當你對你自己百分之百負責時,你的績效會提升,你的人際關系會旺盛,你的市場價值會高飛,別人對你的尊重也會飛漲,你會成為別人膜拜的優秀對象,同樣,你的自我尊重也會提升。
How is it that in all these areas of your life you can see such dramatic improvement? Because when you hold yourself accountable to doing the things you know you should do, you will distinguish yourself from the crowd.
你的生活是如何這個領域里發生戲劇性的改善的?因為當你自己負責做你知道你應該做的事時,你會把自己和人群區分開來。
I am convinced if you want to advance your life personally or professionally, you must hold yourself accountable for your actions, responsibilities, and goals. Think about it. Why should it be someone else’s job to make sure you are doing the things that you know you should to be doing?
我相信如果你想提高你的個人生活或專業,你必須要保持自己對你的行為和目標目標負責。仔細考慮一下,為什么是別人的工作來確定你知道要做的事?
The mindset I adopted more than 25 years ago is this: it is up to me and no one else to make sure I am doing what I know I should be doing. When someone has to hold me accountable, because I failed to do what I should have done, I have a serious conversation with myself. My belief is that no one should have to hold me accountable for my actions, responsibilities and goals. While I appreciate others helping me get better, I am the one that must hold myself to a high standard.
我接受這種心態是在二十五年以前:那是并沒有人來確定我要去做什么。當有人要追究我的責任時,因為我沒有做到我應該做什么,我對自己有一個嚴肅的談話。我相信沒有一個人應該對我的行為和目標負責。當其他人幫助我做的更好時,我會給自己樹一個更高的標準。
