Here are eight little habits that can make a big difference in your life and work:
這邊有八種小習慣可以讓你的生活和工作產生巨大的變化：

1. Early to rise makes you healthy, wealthy, and wise. Numerous studies have linked early rising with success. An early morning wake-up carries benefits that include better planning and anticipation of problems, and more time to exercise, pray or meditate, and do the things that make you happy. Waking up an hour early pays off far more than it takes away.
1. 早一點起牀讓你更健康，更富有，也更聰明。許多研究表明早起和成功有關聯。在一個比較早的時候起牀會帶來的好處包含了可以更好的計劃還有對問題的預料，和更多的時間來做練習，祈禱或冥想，以及做讓你開心的事情。早起一小時遠比白白浪費要更容易獲得成功。

2. Happiness comes to those who are curious. There is no stage in life when we can't be learning something valuable. As long as you live, there will be something to learn, and as long as you follow your heart and your passions, you won't miss out on learning. The tiny habit of being open to learning means you will always benefit, because life will never stop teaching.
2. 幸福感與好奇心掛鉤。在生命中沒有哪個階段是無法學習有價值的東西的。只要你活着，都可以找到東西來學習，還有隻要你聽從自己的內心和你的激情，你就不會錯過學習的機會。這個放心去學習的小習慣意味着你將會從中得益，因爲生活從來都沒有停止教導。

3. Be the most respectful person you know. Respect is both given and earned through the habit of having reverence for people--listening to them, acknowledging their feelings, and treating them with high regard. The tiny habit of respect means you need to treat everyone with kindness. When you do, you are creating your own happiness.
3. 努力成爲你最尊敬的那個人。尊敬他人，在養成他人保持尊敬之心的習慣過程中，既是給予，也是收穫--聆聽他們的需求，知道他們的感受，還有帶着崇高的敬意來招待他們。這個尊敬的小習慣意味着你需要親切的招待每個人。當你這麼做了之後，你就是在創造你自己的幸福。

4. Forgiveness takes you one step closer to your happiness. Make a habit of not holding grudges. They do nothing but weigh you down and infringe on your own happiness and success. Begin by forgiving yourself--an act that will allow you to take risks and accomplish great things. Then, exercise your empathy and compassion in forgiving others.
4. 寬恕會讓你和你的幸運更進一步。形成一個不會怨恨別人的習慣。他們不會變成你的負擔也不會破壞你的幸福和成功。首先便要原諒自己--這個舉動會讓你遠離危險還有完成好的事情。然後，在原諒其他的同時鍛鍊你的感同身受還有同情心。

5. Achievement of integrity is the purpose of your life. Great men and women are not extraordinary superhumans, but ordinary people doing ordinary things with integrity. Integrity means honesty and fairness and doing what is right, even when it's hard. When you make integrity a habit, nothing else matters.
5. 誠信的成果是你生活的目標。超人和超女都不是特別的人類，而是平凡的人帶着誠信做平凡的事。誠信意味着誠實和公平還有做對的事，即使事情很難處理時也是一樣。當你把誠信作爲一種習慣時，別的也就不重要了。

6. The groundwork of all happiness is health. How you take care of yourself will make an enormous difference in the quality of your life. The tiny habits of caring for your body and spirit will give you the energy and stamina to tackle your goals and tasks--plus boost your overall well-being.

7. Believe in yourself and all that you are. Nothing will ever make you happier than having confidence in yourself. Confidence is the key to success--the thing that lets you look at the past without regret, stay grounded in the present, and prepare for the future without fear.
相信你自己，一如既往。沒有比自己有自信更能讓你變得開心的了。自信是成功的鑰匙--這個會讓你遠離遺憾，現在就保持情緒穩定，還有無所畏懼的爲將來做準備。

8. A day well spent gets you a good night sleep. Get enough sleep! It makes you feel healthier and happier, and it goes way beyond just boosting your mood or banishing exhaustion.
