三件壞事竟能成就你的事業(yè)

        1. Selfishness。

　　1.自私

　　Selfishness is rarely seen as something positive. The word may fill your head with images of greedy and soulless Montgomery Burns-like people。

　　自私很少被認(rèn)為是好的品質(zhì)。一提到這個(gè)詞，你腦海中可能就浮現(xiàn)出類似于Montgomery Burns那樣貪婪、無(wú)情的人。

　　However, personal development is in a way pretty selfish. You are trying to make yourself and your life better. But the thing is that by focusing on helping yourself first you can become stronger and help others in a better way too。

　　然而，個(gè)人提升在某種程度確實(shí)是一件很自私的事。你總是試圖讓你和你的生活更好些。事實(shí)上，通過(guò)優(yōu)先關(guān)注自己的事不僅會(huì)讓你變得更強(qiáng)大，而且還可以更好的幫助別人。

　　If you just focus on other people and not on yourself then you risk burning out. Or people may take advantage of you as you set no limits or boundaries. You become the “nice guy/girl” who is always out there to help people but think little about yourself which in the long run can become pretty unhealthy。

　　如果你只關(guān)注別人的事，那你就有被“耗盡”的可能。因?yàn)槟銓?duì)事情沒(méi)有約束和限制，被人很可能會(huì)利用你。你成了“好好人”，因?yàn)槟憧偸窃趲腿嗣@忙那，卻很少考慮你自己。長(zhǎng)期來(lái)說(shuō)，這樣是很不好的。

　　And selfishness and helping others often go hand in hand anyway. I did for example improve my health and increased my energy levels last year. This also gave me the extra energy to work on an free ebook – that will, if everything goes as planned, be up on the blog very soon – besides writing the usual articles. So that is a win-win。

　　話又說(shuō)回來(lái)，自私和幫助別人也并不矛盾。舉例來(lái)說(shuō)，去年一年，我努力使自己更健康也更有精力了。這使我在除卻寫(xiě)平常的一些文章外還有多余的精力去完成一本免費(fèi)的電子書(shū)(若不錯(cuò)意外，明年就可與大家見(jiàn)面了)。所以這是雙贏。
