生活正能量：熱情的人們10個好習慣
We are all naturally passionate at some point in our lives. We all start out that way at least. Most children contain the energy and love of life that sums up the spirited. Unfortunately, as life takes its toll, some of us lose our passion. Here are 10 habits to help infuse your life with intensity again.
自然，每個人在生活中的某些時刻都有過熱情，或者至少剛開始是充滿熱情的吧。大部分小孩都精力充沛，對生活充滿熱愛之情。可惜，隨着生活消極面的出現，有些人漸漸變得冷漠起來。那麼，請看下面10個習慣，讓你的生活再次充滿熱情吧。
1. Passionate people are doers.
熱情的人是行動派。
“Passion is the genesis of genius.” – Tony Robbins
“熱情成就天才。”——託尼託尼·羅賓斯羅賓斯
While passionate people often enjoy talking a mile a minute about what excites them, they back up their claims with action. Bring on the blood, sweat, and tears! The devoted will do whatever it takes to accomplish their dreams.
熱情的人喜歡滔滔不絕談論令自己興奮的事情，更喜歡通過行動來兌現自己的言論。盡情拼搏、揮灑汗水吧！爲了實現夢想，熱情的人願意付出一切。
2. Passionate people are excited.
熱情的人情緒高昂。
“Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you.” – Oprah Winfrey
“熱情是能量，是一種能讓你專注於喜愛的事情上的力量。”——奧普拉·溫弗瑞
Passion is contagious! It’s hard to be around a fiery person and not get swept away in their excitement, even if it’s about something that you never thought could interest you. Passionate people live every day with the anticipation of great things.
熱情是可以傳染的！如果身邊有個熱情似火的人，你很難不被他感染——哪怕你本以爲自己絕不會對他說的事情感興趣。熱情的人每天都充滿了對偉大事情的展望。
3. Passionate people are courageous.
熱情的人充滿勇氣。
“Chase your passion, not your pension.” – Denis Waitley
“追尋你的熱情吧，別光想着養老金。”——丹尼斯·懷特尼
Passionate people are willing to do anything to get the job done. They face their fears head-on because they are committed to eliminate anything that holds them back from what they most desire.
爲了完成工作，熱情的人願意做任何事。面對困難，他們只會勇往直前；爲了得到最渴望的東西，他們決意要消滅任何攔路虎。
4. Passionate people are positive.
熱情的人樂觀向上。
“Nothing great in the world has ever been accomplished without passion.” – Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
“世上任何卓越的成就都缺不了熱情。”——黑格爾
Passionate people often don’t hang out with negative people. They come to value positivity in themselves and others, and don’t have time to entertain failure long. They have the ability to bounce back from setbacks quickly without losing enthusiasm. After all, they didn’t really fail, they just learned one more way to avoid attempting their mission. They still have thousands of attempts still untested.
熱情的人一般不會跟消極的人做朋友。他們很看重自己及他人的樂觀精神，不會把時間耗在失敗上。遇到挫折時，他們仍會保持積極樂觀，儘快找到出路。而且，他們並不覺得那是失敗，挫折只告訴他們某種方法無法實現目標罷了，但還有很多其他方法可以嘗試啊。
5. Passionate people strive to be their best.
熱情的人全力以赴。
“Passion rebuilds the world for the youth. It makes all things alive and significant.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
“熱情讓世界重現青春，使萬物復活、萬象更新。”——愛默生
People with passion always want to offer their best to the world. They can be slightly perfectionist in their thinking, but it’s only because they see their output as a direct reflection of them. If they place their personal stamp upon it, it will be infiltrated with their essence.
熱情的人渴望向世界展現最優秀的自己。他們在思想上或許有點完美主義，但這也是因爲他們覺得“成就象徵自我”。若能加蓋個人圖章的話，那裏必定盡是他們最精華的部分。6. Passionate people are motivating.
熱情的人充滿動力。
“Man is only great when he acts from passion.” – Benjamin Disraeli
“人只有滿懷熱情地行動才稱得上偉大。”——本傑明·迪斯雷利
Need help getting started with a new project? Find a passionate person to get you off the couch! Passionate people are great coaches and motivators. They often care deeply for others and do everything they can to help them succeed.
新項目的啓動需要有人幫忙？那就請有熱情的人幫你搞定吧！熱情的人很擅長指導與鼓勁兒，他們會真心關心他人，竭力幫助他人辦好事情。
7. Passionate people are happy.
熱情的人很快樂。
“Live with passion!” – Tony Robbins
“熱情地生活吧！”——託尼·羅賓斯
Most passionate people who follow their life longings are happy and fulfilled individuals. They focus on their blessings and give back to others. They are glass-half-full people who choose to enjoy making lemonade with the lemons life throws at them.
大部分追尋自己生活夢想的熱情的人都快樂滿足。他們不僅關注自我幸福，還把快樂傳遞給他人。他們都是“半瓶滿”的人：如果生活向他們砸來檸檬，他們會樂呵呵地泡杯檸檬茶。
8. Passionate people are accountable.
熱情的人有擔當。
“If passion drives you, let reason hold the reins.” – Benjamin Franklin
“如果熱情來襲，那就讓理智主導心智吧。”——本傑明·富蘭克林
One of the best bits of advice I’ve ever received was that passion was a powerful driving force that must be channeled. If left unchecked, it could cause an explosion causing great destruction. However, if properly utilized, the same fire that once ruined could also be captured to power a steam engine for positive change. Passionate people learn to have others hold them accountable to channel their energy in the best possible way.
我聽到過的一個好建議是，熱情是種“雙面性”的強大驅動力——如果放任自流，它可能爆發並造成慘痛損失；可如果恰當利用的話，同樣熱烈的情緒也能轉化成正能量發動機。所以，熱情的人懂得如何掌控情緒，讓自己的精力發揮得恰到好處。
9. Passionate people are focused.
熱情的人專注集中。
“Skill is the unified force of experience, intellect, and passion in their operation.” – John Ruskin
“技能是一種綜合力量，融合了行動中的經驗、智慧與熱情。”——約翰·羅斯金
Passionate people know they have a job to do, and they do it with gusto. They run in the rain. They smile through the most menial tasks. No matter what distractions life throws their way, they remain laser-focused on their final objective. They don’t take easy detours, but plow in at full speed. The driving force within them won’t let them lose sight of the end goal.
熱情的人清楚自己的任務是什麼，並且會全身心地投入其中。他們可在暴雨中奔跑，也能微笑面對最卑微的工作。不論生活出現怎樣的困擾，他們都能保持專注，不忘自己的最終目標。他們不走便捷小道，只會埋頭辛勤耕耘。內心的熱情一直爲他們照亮最終的目標。
10. Passionate people love to grow.
熱情的人樂於成長。
“Develop a passion for learning. If you do, you will never cease to grow.” Anthony J. D’Angelo
“學會熱情學習吧，這樣你就能無止境地成長。”——安東尼·德安傑洛
Passionate people never stagnate in the pool of despair, feeling they are finished. They always look for ways to improve upon themselves and their surroundings. Passionate people keep their childlike wonder about life. They are always learning, always growing, always experiencing new things. They squeeze every last drop out of life that they possibly can!
熱情的人絕不會擱淺在絕望的死水中，自認爲自己就這麼完了。他們總是想方設法提升自己、改善周圍的環境。熱情的人對生活懷有孩童般的好奇，總是在不斷學習、不斷成長、不斷嘗試新事物。他們如飢似渴地汲取生活中的每一滴甘露！
