日期:2012-10-25 07:24

(单词翻译:单击)

You have a rough start to the day. Or the week. Or the year. How do you bounce back? How do you get things back on track? Sometimes it’s all about bringing a positive attitude.

你今天一开始就不顺。或这一周不顺。或这一年都不顺。那你怎么扭转局势呢?怎么能让事情重回轨道呢?其实有的时候只要有积极的态度,困难就会迎刃而解了。
When things get tough or don’t go your way, do you react by getting even more upset? Getting angry doesn’t solve anything. Neither does complaining. Can you bring your positive attitude when you need it the most?
当你遇到困难时,或事情没有向你想的方向发展时,你的反应是变得更加沮丧吗?生气解决不了任何问题。抱怨也是如此。当你最需要正能量的时候,你能变得积极吗?
When things are going south, you need to turn your attitude around and head the other direction. But, how do you turn on your positive attitude when everything around you seems negative?
当事情变得越来越糟糕时,你需要转变态度,朝着另一个方向前进。但是当你周围的事情都是消极时,如何能够唤起积极的正能量呢?
Here are 10 Ways to Bring Your Positive Attitude When You Need it the Most:
下面的10种方法,能在你最需要正能量时,帮助你唤醒它们。
1、Choose to Be Happy
1、选择快乐
This may cliché, but that’s because it is true. Your happiness is up to you. Many people forget this. Truly successful people choose happiness no matter what their immediate circumstances.
这听起来像陈词滥调,但是事实确实如此。你是否开心取决于你自己。很多人都忘记了这一点。真正成功的人士,无论他们当前的环境如何,都会选择快乐。
2、Say “Yes, Let’s!”
2、说 “好,我们一起去做吧!”
I learned this magical phrase years ago while taking a comedy improv course. In improv comedy, one of the techniques is never to “stop” where another comedian is going with a thought. Saying “No” isn’t funny. “Yes, let’s!” continues the story. The same is true in life. Don’t be a “stop” to the exciting things going on around you. Instead, of saying “I don’t know” or “maybe”… try “Yes, let’s!”
我是在上即兴喜剧课的时候知道了这个带有魔力的短语。在即兴喜剧表演中,有一个技巧是当其他喜剧演员有想法的时候千万不要打断他。说“不” 一点儿也不搞笑。“好,我们一起去做吧!” 才能让故事得以延续。生活也是如此。不要阻止你身边令人兴奋的事情发生,而要说“我不知道”或“也许吧”……试一下: “好,我们一起去做吧!”
3、Smile
3、微笑
Smiling is one of those universal things that is preprogrammed in all of us. Doubt this? Smile at a baby. They smile back. Smile at a stranger in the street. They will smile back, before catching themselves and hustling off.
我们天生就会微笑。不信?对着婴儿微笑,他们也会朝你笑。在大街上向陌生人微笑,他们会朝你微笑,然后才会匆匆离开。
4、Be a Problem Solver, Not a Problem Maker
4、做一个解决问题的人,而不是制造问题的人
This is an important career tip, although it applies to other areas of life as well. Complaining about a problem doesn’t do anyone any good. Often, others are aware of the problem, as well. Instead, try doing something about the problem.
这是一个很重要的职业技巧,也可以用于生活中的其他方面。抱怨问题不会给任何人带来好处。通常情况下别人也知道这个问题。相反,要试着去做一些事情来解决问题。
5、Whistle While You Work
5、工作时吹口哨
Ever see someone doing tough work and they are whistling a tune? They are toiling away, but yet they are happy enough to be singing a song? Music can play a magical part in your positive attitude. I use Spotify to ensure that I always have my music with me.
有没有看过有人在艰苦工作时吹着口哨?他们在辛苦工作,却能开心地唱歌?其实音乐在唤起你的正能量时能起着很重要的作用。我使用音乐播放软件Spotify,这样能让音乐一直伴我左右。
6、Do Something New
6、尝试一些新事情
Chances are you do the same things every day. You do the same work. You eat the same foods. You wear the same clothes. Shake things up by doing something new. Try a new approach. Take a new path. Even talk to someone new. All of these can pump up your attitude.
你可能每天都做同样的事情。你每天都做同样的工作,吃同样的食物,穿同样的衣服。尝试一些新事情来调整一下吧。试着用一种新的方法,或走一条新路,甚至还可以和陌生人聊天。这些都会让你的态度变得积极。
7、Look for the Opportunity
7、寻找机遇
Even the worst of circumstances have opportunities. Can you find the opportunity when things look bleak? I once had to leave a company due to an unethical boss. I was devastated at the time, but it lead me to look at new careers that I had never considered.
即使是最差的环境也蕴育着机遇。当事情变得糟糕时,你能不能找到机遇?有一次,我因为一个缺乏职业道德的老板而不得不离开公司,但这也使得我去做之间从没想过的新事业。
8、Laugh
8、大笑
Like smiling, laughing is also something that is preprogrammed in all of us. However, along the road of life, many of us have lost our sense of humor. Want to turn around a bad situation? Look it in the eye and laugh. Then do something about it.
和微笑一样,大笑也是我们生来就具有的能力。然而在生活的路途中,很多人都失去了幽默感。想要扭转糟糕的局势吗?正视它,然后大笑。接着做一些事情来处理它。
9、Let Anger Go
9、释放愤怒
Anger doesn’t help in 99% of situations. In fact, it usually makes things worse. It clouds your judgement. It stresses others. It causes additional friction to whatever is happening. Learn to control your temper. Being calm under stress is a powerful skill.
99%的情况下愤怒都是没有用的。事实上,它有可能让事情变得更糟。愤怒会影响你的判断力,会给他人带来压力。无论是什么事情,愤怒都会带来额外的矛盾。学会控制自己的情绪。在压力下保持镇定是一项强大的技能。
10、Learn from Losing
10、从失败中学习
No one wins all of the time. Learn from the times that you lose. What can you learn from your missteps? All great champions were once losers at some point. But, they learned. And they kept a positive attitude until they got better.
没有人总是会赢。从失败中学习。你从你的过失中能学到什么?所有伟大的冠军都曾在某些时候失败过。但是他们从失败中学习,并且一直保持着积极的态度,直到自己变得更加出色。
