Slow and Steady Wins
慢而穩者操勝券
Most of us hesitate to make any serious alteration in our lives, and with good reason. "Past experience has convinced us that change is risky and filled with uncertain outcomes," says motivational speaker Anthony Parinello, author of The Power of Will: Key Strategies to Unlock Your Inner-Strengths and Enjoy Success in All Aspects of Life (Chandler House, 1998).
我們大多數人在生活中做出任何重大改變時都會猶豫不決。我們這樣做有著充分的理由。“過去的經歷讓我們確信,改變都是有風險的,并且結果有著太多的不確定性,”勵志演說家,《意志的力量:激發潛能,享受全方位成功》(Chandler House出版社,1998年版)一書的作者安東尼·帕里內洛如是說。
When we finally make the move, our tendency is to get it over with in one fell swoop. "But real change is an ongoing process with a recognizable pattern," warns Parinello. "Anyone who manages it successfully has to take much the same steps."
當我們最終決定行動的時候,我們往往希望一下子就完成。但帕里內洛警告說:“真正的改變是一個持續的過程,有明顯的模式。要想成功地改變,任何人都必須采取幾乎同樣的步驟。”
