Successful men and women are very clear about the person they want to be. Having a clear picture of your ideal self will move you toward it.
成功的男女十分清楚自己要成为什么样的人。清楚自己的理想就能促使你朝着那个方向勇往直前。
Do you know exactly who do you want to be?
你知道自己到底想成为什么样的人吗?
If not, take time to think about it. Try to write down your values, your skills, your attitude, your look, your behaviour. Stephen Covey suggests that you write down how you want to be remembered at your own funeral. This is a great exercise, because it will bring up your deepest and truest human values.
如果不是,就要多花点时间思考。把自己的价值观、擅长的技能、生活态度、面貌特征与行为写下来。史蒂芬·康维建议,写下希望在葬礼上得到世人的评价。这是一项了不起的锻炼,将激发出你灵魂最深处、最真实的属于人的价值。
When you’re finished with the list, take time everyday to read it in the morning, then act accordingly all day long. At night, right before falling asleep, imagine yourself acting like the person you want to be, in all areas of your life. Imagine yourself being excellent at work, being very friendly with people, or having great sex with your love. Imagining in your mind, is like practicing in reality. The mind will get used to the pictures of your success, and you will tend to act the ideal way in reality.
完成清单后,记住,每天造成要朗读一篇,作为整个一天的行为准则。晚上睡觉以前,想象自己在生活的各方面都能做到理想中的那样。想象自己工作出色,为人特别友善,与自己所爱的人身心交汇。心中想象一如现实的实践。心融入你成功的样子,现实中你也会按理想行事。
