八條忠告，做個(gè)有個(gè)性的人

 

1.了解自己的個(gè)性
Know what constitutes strength in character. Strength in character are the qualities that allow its possessor to exercise control over his instincts and passions, to master himself, and to resist the myriad temptations that constantly confront us. Moreover, strength in character is freedom from biases and prejudices of the mind, and tolerance, love, and respect for others.
了解你個(gè)性中最本質(zhì)的東西。它能夠幫助你有效地控制自己的情緒和自己，能夠禁得住誘惑，并尊重他人。

2.積極面對(duì)人生
Focus on the positives in life, and give no thought to the negatives. A physician once said to a young woman complaining of all sorts of troubles for which she asked of him a cure: "Don't think of them: it is the most powerful of all cures." Physical and mental pains can be alleviated by effort of the will to divert the mind into opposite channels, and exacerbated by the dwelling upon them.
積極面對(duì)人生。一位哲人曾經(jīng)說(shuō)過(guò)這樣一個(gè)故事：一個(gè)年輕的婦女跑到他面前求助，她覺(jué)得生活處處不如意，請(qǐng)這位哲人給她想個(gè)辦法，哲人這樣回答“不要想這些事情，你就好了”。

3.勇敢無(wú)畏
Conquer all fears. Timidity is a stumbling block to success. Entertain no superstition, based upon superficial observations, but accepts facts based only upon solid reason. Build not your foundation upon sand, but upon a rock. Once you overcome fear, you will have the strength in character to think, to resolve, and to act victorious.
勇敢無(wú)畏。膽怯是成功的攔路石。不要輕信，每一件事都是有原因的。

5.做生活的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者
Be neither a pessimist nor an optimist, but a leader. A pessimist complains about the wind, an optimist expects the adverse wind condition to improve, but the leader takes action to adjust the sails.
做生活的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者，而不是悲觀者或樂(lè)觀者。悲觀者抱怨風(fēng)，樂(lè)觀者等待風(fēng)停，而領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者是想辦法改變這個(gè)局勢(shì)。

6.抑制沖動(dòng)
Guard against irrational impulses. Always look before you leap. Free yourself from enslavement by your own passions. Inordinate, sensual appetites are the marks of a weak character.
抑制沖動(dòng)。三思而后行，不要被自己的感情所控制，感性的人是懦弱的。

7.知足常樂(lè)
Be content with what you have.Be content with your lot. Appreciate your own values and that which you have.
知足常樂(lè)。珍惜你所擁有的一切。

8.學(xué)會(huì)控制自己的情緒
Learn to master your feelings. Let not anything other than sound reason dictate your decisions in the conduct of everyday life. Suppress inordinate impulses, and flee from temptations as soon as they appear. It is always difficult, and at times impossible, not to yield to feelings deep within the habitation of your soul, but you can learn to suppress their manifestations, and overcome them with common sense and sound judgment.
控制自己的情緒。每天都要認(rèn)真地活，而不是理所當(dāng)然。接受誘惑的考驗(yàn)。
