Ways to self-improve

提升自我的實(shí)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(yōu)秀？

Identify your blind spots.

揪出盲點(diǎn)。

Scientifically, blind spots refer to areas our eyes are not capable of seeing. In personal development terms, blind spots are things about ourselves we are unaware of. Discovering our blind spots help us discover our areas of improvement.

科學(xué)上，盲點(diǎn)是指眼睛看不到的地方：就個人發(fā)展而言，盲點(diǎn)則是我們自身不曾察覺的方面。發(fā)現(xiàn)盲點(diǎn)有助于提升自我。

One exercise I use to discover my blind spots is to identify all the things/events/people that trigger me in a day–trigger meaning making me feel annoyed/weird/affected.

我用來發(fā)現(xiàn)盲點(diǎn)的一個辦法是：找出所有刺激我的人或事——所謂刺激，就是能使我憤怒、古怪或感動。

These represent my blind spots. It’s always fun to do the exercise because I discover new things about myself, even if I may already think I know my own blind spots (but then they wouldn’t be blind spots would they?). After that, I work on steps to address them.

這些能折射出我的盲點(diǎn)。這么做非常有趣，因?yàn)槲铱偰馨l(fā)現(xiàn)自身新的特質(zhì)，包括那些我自以為了解的盲點(diǎn)（既已了解，就算不上盲點(diǎn)，是吧？）。發(fā)現(xiàn)盲點(diǎn)后，我會努力攻克它們。

【知識點(diǎn)講解】

refer to 涉及； 指的是； 適用于； 參考

例句：

All employees will refer to each other by the honorific suffix "san".

所有雇員相互稱呼時都須在名字后添加敬語san（日語表示“先生”，“女士”）。

By way of illustration I'll refer to the behavior of rabbits.

我將舉例說明兔子的行為.

The new law does not refer to land used for farming.

那條新法律并不涉及耕種用地.
