9. Take care of yourself first. In the never-ending race we have created out of our lives, the first person we always neglect is ourselves. You can't wait for the world to quiet down before you start focusing on your own well-being. Keeping such a frantic pace only leaves you exhausted and not of much use to the people depending on you. To be of great service to others, you must first take care of yourself.
優先考慮到自己。在永不停息的競爭中我們為自己設定好了生活路線,我們忽略的第一個人往往是我們自己。你不可能等到這個世界安靜下來,你才開始關注你自己的幸福。保持一種瘋狂的步伐前進只會讓你精疲力竭,而且對那些指望著你的人也沒有好處。對他人有幫助,你必須先要照顧好自己。
10. Stop and reflect along the way. When you start implementing the first nine points on this list, you may find yourself caught in the momentum of change. Time passes quickly in our lives, and as we grow and change so too does our vision of the life we want to live. Make sure that you take time to simply reflect on what you have accomplished, where you are at right now, and where you are headed—then plan some small action steps for tomorrow.
沿途要住在停留和反省。當你開始施行上述9條建議時,你會發現自己已經開始在走向改變。人生匆匆,隨著我們的成長,我們對自己渴望的生活方式的愿景也會改變。你要確信你會花時間反思你已經取得的成就,以及目前你處在哪里,還有你將走向何方......然后為明天的計劃想好行動步驟。
