多留心,多付出,获得意想不到的收获
前辈牛人的无数例子告诉我们,<
/p>
多为别人考虑,
多付出那么一点点,
也许
别人能够对你
更深印象,也就是这“也许”,能够让你获得意想不到的收获。
1. Buy
someone's coffee.
为他人买杯咖啡
It's just coffee -- no one
needs coffee, so this doesn't really matter,
right? But
what if you knew that a $$2
cup of caffeine could change someone's day, week
or
their whole perspective? Boom: That
cup of coffee just changed the world.
只是杯咖啡而已——没人必须要喝咖啡,所以也无所谓,对吧
?
但是如果你知道
2
< br>美元
一杯的咖啡可以改变一个人的一天、一周甚至整个人生,那你会怎么做
?
哇,一杯咖啡改变
了整个世界。
2. Smile
with eye contact.
微笑着用眼神交流。
In a world where smart
phones rule and it's not just possible, but
normal, to
have
entire
conversations
without
ever
looking
someone
in
the
eye,
it
can
be
heart-stopping,
wonderful
and
double-take-worthy
to
lock
eyes
with
someone
grinning.
Happiness
is
contagious,
and
it
only
takes
a
couple
facial
muscles
to
spread it.
在一个智能手机统治的世界,
在整个交流的过程中,
连看也不看对方一眼,
这样的行为
不仅是可能的,也是正常
的。要是看着对方咧嘴笑,就会有屏息凝气、非常奇妙的感觉。快
乐是可以传染的,只需
通过几个面部肌肉的运动就可以把它传播。
3. Give what you can.
尽你所能地付出
You clean out your closets,
right? Perfect. You don't need a half a million
dollar
check written out to your
charity of choice to help someone (kudos to you if
you do,
though!). Maybe you have a few
shirts you don't wear anymore or a few children's
books
you
can
bear
to
part
with.
The
thing
about
giving
a
little
is
that
when
everyone gives a
little, suddenly it turns into a lot. Be a part of
that lot.
你整理自己
的衣橱,对吧
?
很好。你不用非得写一张
50
万的支票捐给慈善机构来帮助
他人
(
但是如果你这样做,那当然相当好
!
)
。也许你有几件不再穿的衬衫,或有几本可以舍
弃的童书
。
虽然只付出一点点,
但当每个人都付出一点点时,
就会积少成多。来成为多的一
部分吧。
4. Get in
touch. Then listen.
保持联系,然后倾听
Maybe a grandparent is
chomping at the bit to hear about your adventures,
or
maybe an old friend had a really bad
day, maybe your mom wishes you'd ring her
up
more
often.
Get
on the
line.
You
remember
that
your
iPhone
can make
calls,
right?
Get
in
touch
with
those
people
that
are
dying
to
hear
from
you
(because
someone definitely
is). Then, ask: How are you doing? What's new?
These questions
have such
few syllables, but their depth is endless.
也许你的爷爷奶奶正迫不及待地想
听你的历险,
也许一个老友过了糟糕的一天,
也许你
的妈妈希望你多给她打个电话。联系他们吧。你还记得你的
iPhone<
/p>
能打电话,对吗
?
和那
< br>些很想和你联系的人打个电话吧。
然后问问:
你怎么样了
?
最近发生了什么事儿
?
虽然这些问
题只有几个音节,但是这些问题的深度是无止境的。
5. Sort
your problems.
把问题排序
Let's face it: There's a
lot of bad stuff in the world. It can be a scary
place, and
we've all got problems we
would be a whole lot happier without. But
experiment
with putting your problems
into perspective -- or boxes: That breakup?
Missing a
really
important
deadline
at
work?
Hurt feelings?
Losing
someone
close
to
you?
Probably
worth
some
self-pity.
That
stain
on
your
shirt?
Not
so
much.
Let
go
of
what you
can. The less negative, the more room there is to
be happy.
让我们面对
现实吧:
世界上有很多不好的事情。它会让人感到恐慌。我们都有问题,要
是没有的话,会幸福地多。但是试一试用长远的眼光来看这些问题:分手
?<
/p>
工作时错过了重
要的截止时间
?
受伤的感觉
?
失去了亲近的人
< br>?
或许值得自怜自哀。
衬衫上的污渍
?
那就不值得
了。能放手就放手。负面因素越少,开心的空
间就越大。
6. Give when you get.
当你得到时就给予
This
is
the
best
kind
of
multitasking!
Whenever
you
get
a
little,
give
a
little.
There's a couple
ways to pull this off: You can implement it
yourself (donating an
older shirt when
you splurge for a new shirt, etc), or support
companies that are
passionate,
good-hearted
(really
fun)
't
get
much
better
than
that, does it?
这是多任务的最好形式
!
无论何时只要你得到了一点点,那就给予一点点。可以有很多
种方法:
你可以自己去做
(
比如当你买了一件新衬衫时可以捐出一件旧衬衫
)
或支持有激
情的
公司、热心肠的好人。还有什么比这更好的呢
?
7. Stop
comparing yourself to people you see on the
Internet.
不要再和互联网上的人进行比较
We all creep people's
Instagram and Twitter feeds... and there's nothing
wrong
with wanting to be the best
version of you. But you're you for a reason, and
there's
no one better at being you than
you are! A little self-acceptance goes a long way.
Your
confidence
will
melt
into
other
people
and
make
them
feel
comfortable
in
their own skin too.
我们都喜欢看别人在
Instagr
am
和推特上的内容…
,
想成为最好的
自己也没什么错。但
是你就是你,没人比做你做得更出色的了
!
一点点儿自我接受,就能走很远。你的自信会逐
渐融入他人,让
他们也感到自信。
8. Use please and thank you.
用“请”和“谢谢”
Not to sound like your
grandmother (go ahead and put your elbows on the
table!), but the smallest ways to show
your gratitude are these little words. They
take zero effort to say, but the impact
is huge. Aren't you thankful someone held
the door for you when your hands were
full? Tell them!
不是说听起来要像你的奶奶
(
快点,
把胳膊肘放到桌子上
!)
,
但是表达
你的感激之情的最
简单的方式莫过于这些简单的词汇。
说这些话又不费劲,
但是影响却是相当大的。
当你两手
满满,有人给你开门时,你不是很感激他们
?
告诉他们
!
9. Support someone else.
支持他人
You know that friend who is
trying to promote their new album, or start that
business? You don't always have to chip
in financially to be a backer -- you just have
to believe in something! Lend your
support when and where you can. Whether it's
as
simple
as
a
retweet
on
Twitter
or
tossing
a
few
extra
bucks
toward
a
worthy
cause,
show
someone
you
believe
in
what
they're
doing.
Not
only
will
they
be
super-
motivated, but they'll pass it on.
你知道你的那个朋友在宣传他们的新唱片,或开了一家新公司
?
你不用每次都出资——
你只需去相信
他们
!
无论何时何地,只要你能帮助他们,就伸出你的手吧。无
论是在推特上
的一条转发,
还是因为某个值得的原因投上一些钱
,
让他们看看你相信他们做的事情。
他们
不仅仅会受到鼓舞,而且还会把这份正能量传递下去。
10. Chase what gets you up
in the morning.
追逐你的梦想
What's
the
thing
that
lingers
on
your
heart
--
that
you
just
can't
stop
daydreaming about? Do
the thing you would do if you could do anything.
It's called
your passion. And it's what
you should be doing.
什么东西徘徊在你的心间——以至于你总是在不断地去梦想它
?
如果你能为它做点儿
事情,那就做吧。这就叫做激情。这也是你应该去做的
事情。
Sometimes,
we
treat
chasing
dreams
like
a
fantasy
--
it's
easy
to
do,
when
things
like
money
and
rent
and
groceries
and
day
jobs
come
into
play.
But
you
don't have to jump off the cliff solo:
Start building your wings. Inch toward your
dream. One foot in front of the other.
T
ake the step. After all, it's your
calling.
有时,我们把
梦想看成是幻想——当有钱、有租金、有食物、有工作时很容易去做。
但是,
你也不能不加准备就跳下悬崖:你该先长出自己的翅膀。一点点地朝梦想靠近。
一步
一步地往前走。往前迈一步吧。毕竟,这是你的使命。
