Ways to self-improve

提升自我的实用技巧

How to improve yourself and become better?

你是一个渴望成长的人吗？你是否总在想办法提升自己、让自己变得更优秀？

Identify your blind spots.

揪出盲点。

Scientifically, blind spots refer to areas our eyes are not capable of seeing. In personal development terms, blind spots are things about ourselves we are unaware of. Discovering our blind spots help us discover our areas of improvement.

科学上，盲点是指眼睛看不到的地方：就个人发展而言，盲点则是我们自身不曾察觉的方面。发现盲点有助于提升自我。

One exercise I use to discover my blind spots is to identify all the things/events/people that trigger me in a day–trigger meaning making me feel annoyed/weird/affected.

我用来发现盲点的一个办法是：找出所有刺激我的人或事——所谓刺激，就是能使我愤怒、古怪或感动。

These represent my blind spots. It’s always fun to do the exercise because I discover new things about myself, even if I may already think I know my own blind spots (but then they wouldn’t be blind spots would they?). After that, I work on steps to address them.

这些能折射出我的盲点。这么做非常有趣，因为我总能发现自身新的特质，包括那些我自以为了解的盲点（既已了解，就算不上盲点，是吧？）。发现盲点后，我会努力攻克它们。
