職場英語：成功者與平庸者之間的十大顯著差距

What did we all learn in high school? Gossip gets you nowhere. Instead of gossiping about people, successful people talk about ideas. Sharing ideas with others will only make them better.

我們在高中都學(xué)會了什么?八卦不會給你帶來任何好處。成功人士在一起會談?wù)撟约旱南敕ǘ皇前素运?。彼此交換想法只會讓他們變的更好。

5. Set goals and life plans vs. Do not set goals

5. 確立目標和人生計劃 vs. 沒有目標

You can't possibly be successful without knowing where you're going in life. A life vision board, 10 year plan, 3 year forecast, annual strategic plan, and daily goal lists are useful tools of the mega-successful people. Get your vision and goals down on paper!

生活中，如果你不知道自己要往哪里前進，那么你也不會成功。人生規(guī)劃，10年規(guī)劃，3年預(yù)期，每年的策略性計劃以及每天的目標列表對于成功人士都是很有用的工具。將自己的規(guī)劃和目標寫在紙上。

6. Keep a journal vs. Say you keep a journal but don’t

6. 寫日記 vs. 說自己要寫日記但從來沒寫過

Keeping a journal is a great way to jot down quick ideas or thoughts. Writing them down can lead to something even greater. You can even use mobile apps or your Notes function in your phone. But don’t fool yourself by saying you keep a journal and not following through.

寫日記是一個很好的方法來快速地記下自己的想法。記下這些想法會創(chuàng)造出更偉大的東西。你甚至可以使用手機的應(yīng)用程序或者手機里的便簽功能來寫日記。但是不要欺騙自己，說要寫日記但從來沒有執(zhí)行過。

7. Read every day vs. Watch TV every day

7. 每天讀書 vs. 每天看電視

Reading every day educates you on new subjects. Whether you are reading a blog, your favorite magazine or a good book, you can learn and become more knowledgeable as you read. Watching television, on the other hand, may be good entertainment or an escape, but you'll rarely get anything out of TV to help you become more successful.

每天的閱讀可以讓你接觸不同的內(nèi)容。不論是讀一篇博客，自己最喜歡的雜志還是一本好書，你都會學(xué)到東西，變的更加博學(xué)。相反，看電視也許是很好的娛樂方式或者說是一種很好的逃避方式，但是要想成功，電視節(jié)目益處很少。

8. Continuously learn vs. Fly by the seat of your pants

8. 不斷學(xué)習(xí) vs. 三分鐘熱度

Continuously learning and improving is the only way to grow. You can be a step above your competition and become more flexible because you know more. If you just fly by the seat of your pants, you could be passing up opportunities that prevent you from learning (and growing!)

不斷的學(xué)習(xí)和進步是唯一的成長方式。因為知道更多，自己就可以在競爭中掌握先機，也會更加游刃有余。如果做事總是三分鐘熱度，你就會錯失很多機會，妨礙自己的學(xué)習(xí)和進步。

9. Forgive others vs. Hold a grudge

9. 原諒他人 vs. 不斷抱怨

Everybody makes mistakes; it’s human. The only way to get past the mistake is to forgive and move on. Dwelling on anger only makes things worse - for you.

每個人都會犯錯，這是不可避免的。唯一解決錯誤的方式就是原諒，然后繼續(xù)前進。對自己而言，老是生氣只會讓事情變得更糟。

10. Keep a “To-Be” list vs. Don’t know what you want to be

10. 擁有夢想 vs. 前路迷茫

A “To-Be” list is a great way to strategize for the future. I want to be an elected official one day. I want to be a TED speaker. I want to be the CEO of a public company. I want to be a great father and husband. Unsuccessful people have no idea what they want to be. If you don’t know what you want to be, how can you achieve success? What do you want to be?

一份“夢想”列表是很好的未來規(guī)劃。終有一天，我要成為一名官員。我想要成為一名TED演講者。我想要成為一家上市公司的CEO。我想要成為一個偉大的父親和丈夫。平庸的人不知道他們想要成為什么。如果你都不知道自己想要成為什么，怎么會成功呢?你想要成為什么呢?
