Here are the seven that strike me as most fundamental. It seems to me that most other themes or habits fall into one of these seven buckets.
其中，有七大原則我認為是最基本的，其它課題（或習慣）大都可以歸為七大原則之一。
1. Desire 理想
This is almost always #1 in the standard self-help literature. If you want to achieve “it,” you have to really want it. More importantly, with very few exceptions you must be conscious of the fact that you want it and you must be very clear about what it is. When it will happen, what it will look like...you get the picture.
有關自我奮斗的各種論說中，該原則幾乎總是位居榜首。欲取之，必先欲之。更重要的是，大多情況下，你必須確信自己有此理想，而且必須清楚是何理想，何時產生，有何特性等，你要能描繪出來。
2. Authenticity 真我
While most self-help literature is about change – changing your life, becoming a different person – it is almost always rooted in the notion that you have to “know yourself” (or know thy self, depending on how far back you go) and be yourself if you want to succeed and be happy in your success. Make sure the “it” that you desire aligns with who you truly are.
雖然大多數有關自我奮斗的論說都在講改變——改變你的一生，做個全新的人等，但幾乎都植根于一個理念：如果你想成功并快樂著，你就要“了解自己”（或者說了解本我，這要看你對自己了解有多深），并且要堅持做你自己。記住，你的理想和你的真我相輔相成，并行不悖。
3. Drive 動力
As the old saying goes, “If wishes were horses, beggars could ride.” It is one thing to want something; it is another thing entirely to have the will to get it. Motivation plays a starring role in self-help literature, and for good reason: very few of us come equipped with self-sustaining will power. Closely related concepts like being “pro-active” and persistent come into play here.
古諺有云：“理想若是馬，乞丐都能騎?！庇欣硐胧且换厥?，有決心實現理想是另一回事。自我奮斗論中，動力是奮斗成功的主要因素，理由很充分：很少有人有足夠的意志力。類似的概念還有積極向上、持之以恒等。
4. Discipline 自律
You can want it and have the will to pursue it, but you still need to cultivate and practice appropriate, consistent habits if you expect to succeed. It is important to remember that “discipline” derives from the Latin “disciplina,” meaning teaching or learning. Desire and drive alone do not add up to discipline. It must be learned.
你有理想，也下定決心追求理想，但你還需要培養于你有益的行為習慣，并持之以恒堅持下去，你才有可能獲得成功。一定要記住，英文中“自律”（discipline）一詞源于拉丁語詞“disciplina”，意為自我教育，既有“教”，也有“學”。自律并非理想和動力的簡單相加，必須依靠后天習得。
5. Reflection 自省
Reflection is arguably one of the key habits of discipline, but it also serves to counteract mindless discipline. In short, it is an important enough concept in self-help literature to stand on its own. Achieving your goals requires being conscious and thoughtful about how you are performing along the way. Doing so enables you to appreciate your progress and also to adjust as needed
自省是自律原則中的關鍵因素之一，這點無可非議，但跟無意識的自律又不一樣，自省強調有意識的一面。簡言之，在自我奮斗的論說中，自省原則自成一體，非常重要。想要達到目標，就應該做個有心人，隨時關注自己的進展，這樣才能對其合理評價，適時調整。
6. Connections 人際關系
While self-help literature by its nature tends to be very focused on the individual, I can't think of a single example I have come across that doesn't also emphasize the importance of our connection to others.
自我奮斗論本質上往往強調個人的奮斗，但我想不到任何一個自我奮斗成功的案例能隔斷個人與他人的聯系。
Among other things, connections may help you enhance your own abilities – as in the concept of the “master mind” pioneered by Napoleon Hill (and represented earlier in Ben Franklin’s “junto”). They may help keep you accountable – as is common in 12-step groups. Or, they may help you reconcile yourself with the past – by saying thank you to those who have had a positive impact on your life, for example, as is so common in “happiness” literature.
別的不說，人際關系首先會幫你提高自己的能力，拿破侖·希爾（Napoleon Hill）首倡的“大師”概念中包含了這個觀點（本杰明·富蘭克林（Ben Franklin）在18世紀創立的費城俱樂部“Junto”中也曾提及）。人際關系也會幫你樹立責任感，這在12步戒酒者聚會組織（參見12 Step Groups 網站）中很常見。人際關系還會幫你接受自己的過去，比如，向那些曾經對你人生有積極影響的人表示感謝。論述“幸?！钡奈墨I中，這樣的例子比比皆是。
7. Faith 信仰
I don't necessarily mean “faith” in a religious sense – thought certainly there is a great deal of self-help literature with a religious orientation. All of the self-help literature I have encountered posits a “higher power,” whether that is a “God” in a religious sense or something more ethereal. I also place concepts like “making your own luck,” “attitude,” and “resilience” in this bucket because each is rooted in the notion that things somehow work out if you simply believe they will.
這里的“信仰”并不一定帶有宗教色彩，盡管很多的自我奮斗論說確實具有宗教傾向。我所讀過的自我奮斗論著中，無一例外宣揚“至高權力”，要么是宗教意義上的“上帝”，要么就是某種虛無縹緲的神靈。我認為“信仰”還應該包括“把握自己的命運”、“態度”、“精神復蘇”等概念，因為這些概念的實質都是只要有信，就有可能。
回帖話題：Here's a challenge to readers: Where have you found any or all of these concepts expressed most meaningfully for you? And what am I missing? Please comment and share your sources! 最后給我們的讀者提兩個問題：上述七大原則中，你認為哪些最有意義？是否還有我沒考慮到的地方？歡迎大家各抒己見。
