勵志感言:成功取決於習慣

Do you have the habits of a successful person? Your habits alone determine who you become. Your habits alone determine if you succeed.
你有成功人士所有的習慣嗎？僅僅你的習慣就能決定你能成爲誰，是否邁向成功。
James Allen said, "We are anxious to change our circumstances, but we are unwilling to change ourselves."
詹姆斯·艾倫曾經說過：“我們都努力去改變我們周圍的環境，但我們都不願意去改變我們自己。”
Put it another way, we are anxious to succeed, but we are unwilling to create the habits that cause success.
換句話來說，我們都很努力想要邁向成功，但我們卻都不願意去培養那些帶來成功的習慣。

The Law of Habit 習慣的黃金定律

The Law of Habit states that the more frequently you perform a task the easier is becomes to perform that task the next time, and consequently, the more difficult it becomes not to perform the task.

習慣的黃金定律表明：一件事情，你完成的次數越多，就越容易去完成這一件事，也就是說，這件事情就會變得越來越容易了。

If you go the same way to work everyday, you would find it difficult to go in a different direction, simply because we are creatures of habit, and we protect the habits that we have, good or bad.
如果你每天都走同一條路去上班，你會發現你很難再另尋他徑。那僅僅是因爲我們是有習慣的生物，我們會不論好與壞地去保護我們所現擁有的習慣。
Over 90 percent of the tasks that we complete are rooted in habit: the way we put on our shirt, brush our teeth, skip flossing at night, all are rooted in habit.
我們完成的事情有超過90%都已經根深蒂固地成爲了習慣，就像我們穿衣服的方式、刷牙的方式、晚上剔牙的方式等等。

Our habits are a very powerful tool, and when used to our benefit can be life altering. However, they can also be used to our detriment.
我們的習慣是一個非常強大的工具，當我們把習慣運用在對我們有利的地方時，將會是終生受用的。然而，習慣也會對我們造成傷害。

The Purpose of Discipline and Will Power 紀律和意志力的目的
Discipline will only get you so far. In order to make progress you need to tap into the power of your subconscious mind, the source of your habits.
紀律能幫到你的始終有限。你只有把好習慣的力量潛移默化地融入潛意識中，纔會有所提高。
The subconscious mind is the “work horse” of the mind because it controls your habits; it manages the “habits” that accounts for your life.
潛意識是大腦的忠實地執行者，它操縱着那些與你生活息息相關的習慣。

If you have good habits programmed into your subconscious mind, then you will do good things, and you will succeed. And, if you have bad habits programmed into your subconscious mind, then you will act accordingly.
如果你擁有一個好的習慣，你就會去做一些對自己有益的事情，一步一步邁向成功。但如果你有些根深蒂固的壞習慣，你也會相應地表現出來。
Discipline and will power are to be used to create the right habits, and then those habits will give you the life you desire.
紀律和意志力都能幫你培養一些好的習慣，那些習慣會協助你過上自己想要的生活。

Change Your Habits 改變你的習慣

Today I want to encourage you to change some of your bad habits to good habits and use the power of “habit” to change your life.
今天，我想鼓勵你去改變你的壞習慣，從而用好習慣的力量去改變你的生活。
If you can learn how to have a perfect day, then you can have a perfect life, you just have to duplicate that day through the tool of your habits.
如果你知道怎樣才能擁有完美的一天，那你就學會了怎樣擁有一個完美的人生，因爲你只需要利用習慣，不斷重複那完美的一天就行了。
Your habits are a servant, and they will enslave you or free you. You choose by using your will power what they do. When you consciously make a choice over and over again, it eventually becomes a habit. Your desires are turned over to the force of habit, and you become the slave of the habit.
你的習慣是你忠實的僕人，你只需要用你的意念選擇你想讓他們做的事。讓你一次又一次地有意識地去選擇同一件事，它最終會變成一個習慣。你的需求就會反過來成爲習慣的力量，然後你就會變成了習慣的奴隸了。
If you're wise you will use your will to create beneficial habits, and those beneficial habits will grant you the life you desire.
若你明智地去用你的意念去培養一些有益的習慣，這些有益的習慣就會回報給你你想要的生活。
The Profound Power of Habits 習慣深不可測的力量
Your habits will take you further than your dreams. You don’t need a miracle, and you don’t need to be lucky. You need the right set of habits.
相比你的夢想，你的習慣會帶領你走得更遠。在走向成功的路途上，你甚至不需要一絲絲的奇蹟與幸運，你僅僅需要一系列好的習慣。
If you have the habits of a rich person then you will become rich, if you have the habits of a thin person then you will become thin, if you have the habits of a successful person, then you will become successful, it's all about the habits that you have.
如果你擁有富人所擁有的習慣，你便會成爲富人；如果你擁有瘦者所擁有的習慣，你就會變瘦；如果你擁有成爲一名成功人士所擁有的習慣，你就會邁向成功。所有的一切都取自於你的習慣。
It's important that you discover the habits that cause you to succeed in a given area. Once you find what those habits are it's just a matter of using your will to repeat that activity over and over until it becomes a habit.
發現那些能引導你成功的習慣是一件很重要的事。一旦你找到那些習慣，你只需運用你的意志去一遍又一遍地重複那些讓你邁向成功的事情直至它變成一種習慣。
Getting the Right Habits 培養好的習慣
If you can get the habits right, the results will come automatically. A habit of investing large sums of money will eventually make you rich; a habit of eating the right foods and exercising will eventually give you the body of your dreams.
如果你培養了好的習慣，好的結果便會無聲無息地來到你的身邊。一個把積累起來的錢用於投資的習慣，最終會給你帶來富裕；一個健康的飲食以及鍛鍊的習慣，最終會讓你擁有你夢寐以求的身材。
Will power can't do this for you because you only have a limited amount of will power. That will power is used up every time you resist a habit and even when you're under stress.
意志的力量不會爲你做這些事，因爲你擁有的意志是有限的。即使在備受壓力的情況下，你依然堅持這你的習慣，而意志的力量將會在這個時候耗盡。

Will Power 意志的力量

Will power shouldn't be used for avoiding habits directly, but for creating new habits; a slight but crucial difference.
意志的力量不應該用在直接阻止某些已成的習慣上面，而應該用在創造新的習慣上。這是一個輕微但關鍵的不同。

That's why it's critical that you muster up all of your will power to create a habit and not use your will power as the source of controlling your activities. You can't consistently use your will power to keep you from doing your habits. You must use your will power to create new habits.
那就是爲什麼你用盡你的意志去創造一個好的習慣而非用你的意志力量作爲你的控制你行爲的源泉顯得如此的重要。你做不到持續地用你的意志力去阻礙你做你習慣的事，所以你必須用你的意志力去培養一個新的好的習慣。
How do you create new habits? By performing the task over and over again at the same time, in generally the same way.
怎麼培養一個新的好的習慣？你可以用同樣的方式在短時間內不斷重複你想要成爲習慣的事情。
When you do this you will have a new habit, which will take control over the old habit. It won’t be easy at first, but once the habit becomes set, it will be as difficult to break the new habit as it was to break the old habit.
當你這樣做，你會擁有一個新的習慣從而摒棄舊的習慣。雖然這一切一開始並不容易，當一旦新習慣培養起來，就會像舊的習慣一樣難以摒棄。

Breaking Old Habits 摒棄舊的習慣
The best way to break a habit is to replace it with a new habit. You replace eating bad food with a habit of eating good food. You replace not working out at 1:00pm with working out everyday at 1:00pm. Not saving money with saving money. You find the opposite of the task and you perform that as well. And if you can do it consistently, through will power at first, then you will build the habit and the habit will cause you to succeed.
培養一個新的習慣是摒棄舊習慣的最好方式。你可以用好的飲食習慣去取代壞的飲食習慣。你也可以用每天下午1點工作來取代下午一點不工作。你也可以培養的習慣來取代不存錢的習慣。當你發現你的壞習慣的時候，你可以做出與習慣相反的行爲。如果你可以持續地做到這點，當然，一開始的時候是靠意志的力量的，久而久之，你便會培養起這個習慣。而這個習慣將會引導你成功。
How long will it take? It depends on the complexity of the habit that you’re trying to break and how deeply it's rooted in your life. But one things for sure, if you keep on going in the right direction you will eventually get to your destination. And another thing, failure is not an option for you, so keep working on creating the habit until you succeed.
培養習慣將會持續多久呢？這取決於你所要改變的習慣的複雜性和你對它在生活的依賴性。但可以確定的是，如果你一直沿着對的方向走，你最終能到達你的目的地。另外，既然你不選擇失敗，你要不管地培養那些能讓你成功的習慣直至邁向成功的大門。

In Closing 結束語
Nothing is more important then the right habits which will cause success. Can you build the right habits, I believe you can? Here's to starting new life-changing habits, here's to your success.
沒有什麼事比能讓人成功的習慣還重要的。你能培養那些好的習慣嘛？我可以相信你能嘛？從現在開始用不斷改變壞的習慣來過一個新的人生吧，從此開始邁向成功！
