Ways to self-improve

提升自我的實用技巧

How to improve yourself and become better?

你是一個渴望成長的人嗎？你是否總在想辦法提升自己、讓自己變得更優秀？

Get out of your comfort zone.

走出舒適區。

Real growth comes with hard work and sweat. Being too comfortable doesn’t help us grow–it makes us stagnate. What is your comfort zone? Do you stay in most of the time? Do you keep to your own space when out with other people? Shake your routine up. Do something different. By exposing yourself to a new context, you’re literally growing as you learn to act in new circumstances.

真正的成長需要付諸努力與汗水。太安逸并不利于成長，而只會讓我們擱淺。你的舒適區是什么？你是不是常常賴在里面？跳出舒適區和別人在一起時，你會不會保留自己的空間？打破常規，嘗試不同。通過接觸新領域、適應新環境，你就能獲得成長。

Put someone up to a challenge.

和別人一起挑戰。

Competition is one of the best ways to grow. Set a challenge (weight loss, exercise, financial challenge, etc) and compete with an interested friend to see who achieves the target first. Through the process, both of you will gain more than if you were to set off on the target alone.

競爭是成長的最佳途徑之一。設定一項挑戰（減肥、健身、經濟目標等），和感興趣的朋友相互競爭，看誰先實現目標。相對于單獨行動，這么做更能兩全其美。
