习惯成就生活:现在该养成的好习惯
Let go of comparison
不去攀比
It doesn’t matter if the person beside you in yoga class can contort their body in ways you can’t. If you stop comparing yourself to others, you’re more apt to be happy with who you are. Rather than compare your progress or success to those around you, seek to improve on your own accomplishments.
瑜伽班坐你旁边的那个人可以伸展自如,而你却做不到,这又怎样呢?如果停止与他人攀比,你就能更愉悦地接纳本真的自我。与其拿自己的进步或成功跟周围的人作比较,倒不如努力提高自己的成就呢。
Save some money, even if it’s just a little
哪怕很少,也要存点钱
Just five dollars a week will add up before you know it. Saving money constitutesdiscipline, which is necessary in all areas of life. Take out cash to spend for the week so you don’t have to touch your bank account. If you give yourself an‘allowance,’you’ll become more responsible with your income.
一个星期存5块钱也能在不知不觉间变多起来。省钱需要自律,而自律则是生活各方面都必需的品质。把这个星期要用的钱取出来,这样你就不必再用银行卡了。如果你试着给自己“零花钱”,或许就会变得不再随便花钱了。
Strive to be on time
努力做到准时
Arriving at your destination on time (or even better—early) shows that you care about other people’s time. This doesn’t just apply to work either. Show up on time for family events and outings with your friends.
准时(或者最好提早)到达目的地可以显示出你很尊重他人的时间。这不仅适用于职场,也适用于家庭活动以及和朋友的约会。
