9. Take care of yourself first. In the never-ending race we have created out of our lives, the first person we always neglect is ourselves. You can't wait for the world to quiet down before you start focusing on your own well-being. Keeping such a frantic pace only leaves you exhausted and not of much use to the people depending on you. To be of great service to others, you must first take care of yourself.
优先考虑到自己。在永不停息的竞争中我们为自己设定好了生活路线,我们忽略的第一个人往往是我们自己。你不可能等到这个世界安静下来,你才开始关注你自己的幸福。保持一种疯狂的步伐前进只会让你精疲力竭,而且对那些指望着你的人也没有好处。对他人有帮助,你必须先要照顾好自己。
10. Stop and reflect along the way. When you start implementing the first nine points on this list, you may find yourself caught in the momentum of change. Time passes quickly in our lives, and as we grow and change so too does our vision of the life we want to live. Make sure that you take time to simply reflect on what you have accomplished, where you are at right now, and where you are headed—then plan some small action steps for tomorrow.
沿途要住在停留和反省。当你开始施行上述9条建议时,你会发现自己已经开始在走向改变。人生匆匆,随着我们的成长,我们对自己渴望的生活方式的愿景也会改变。你要确信你会花时间反思你已经取得的成就,以及目前你处在哪里,还有你将走向何方......然后为明天的计划想好行动步骤。
