10. Know your principles and live them. 明白自己的原則,并實踐它們。
What are the principles upon which your life is built? If you don't know, you will have trouble, because your life will feel directionless. For myself, I try to live the Golden Rule (and fail often). This is my key principle, and I try to live my life in accordance with it. I have others, but they are mostly in some way related to this rule (the major exception being to “Live my Passion”). Think about your principles … you might have them but perhaps you haven't given them much thought. Now think about whether you actually live these principles, or if you just believe in them but don't act on them。
你的生活是建立在怎樣的原則之上的?如果你不知道,就會比較麻煩,因為你的生將活毫無方向感而言。對于我自己,我一直遵從黃金準則(常常失敗)。它是我最基本的原則,我試圖遵從黃金準則來生活。我也有其它的原則,但大部分都和黃金準則有關的(“充滿激情的生活”例外)。多想想你的原則……你可能有這些原則,但很少去思考它們,F在想想你是否遵守這些原則,還是僅僅相信它們,卻很少采取行動。
