5 Ways to Become Luckier
五招好運(yùn)找上門:今天運(yùn)氣怎么這么好
Diligence is the mother of good luck.-- Benjamin Franklin
勤勞是好運(yùn)之母。——本杰明--富蘭克林
Thinking you are unlucky, in fact, can actually contribute to feelings of defeat. The truth is, we can make our own good luck.
總想著自己怎么倒霉真的會(huì)讓你變倒霉。事實(shí)是,我們可以讓好運(yùn)找上門。
British psychologist Richard Wiseman has studied hundreds of people who describe themselves as lucky or unlucky, wanting to better understand how people can control their destinies and their luck. His many years of research shows that some people are, indeed, "luckier." It's because they've worked on the skills that are essential to good luck... and therefore success in life. These are the five essential skills to getting lucky at business, love and life:
英國(guó)心理學(xué)家理查德-懷斯曼對(duì)上百人進(jìn)行了研究,被研究者中有的說自己是幸運(yùn)兒,也有的說自己是倒霉蛋。懷斯曼醫(yī)生希望通過研究發(fā)現(xiàn)人們是怎樣掌控自己的命運(yùn)和運(yùn)氣的。經(jīng)過多年研究之后得到的結(jié)論是,這些人中的確有人“運(yùn)氣更好”,因?yàn)樗麄冋莆樟俗プ『眠\(yùn)的秘訣,從而在生活中獲得成功。下面就是要在事業(yè)、愛情和生活中獲得好運(yùn)的五大秘訣:
走出舒適區(qū)
Move out of your comfort zone:
走出你的舒適區(qū):
Taking risks will present many more opportunities than if you live your life in fear of rejection or embarrassment. In addition to asking yourself "What's the worst that could happen?" ask, "What's the best that could happen?"
如果你總是害怕被拒絕、害怕面對(duì)尷尬的話,那么比起那些勇于面對(duì)風(fēng)險(xiǎn)的人,你會(huì)少掉很多機(jī)會(huì)。別再問自己“最壞的結(jié)果是什么”了,問自己“最好的結(jié)果是什么”吧。
好奇身邊的一切
Be curious about the world around you:
好奇身邊的一切:
An interested person is an interesting person. Lucky people are curious and observant, eager to explore the world around them. Lucky people do not just tunnel in one place with blinders on; they open their eyes to everything and throw themselves into serendipity's path whenever possible.
對(duì)什么都感興趣的人也會(huì)讓別人感興趣。幸運(yùn)兒往往充滿好奇,善于觀察,渴望了解周圍的一切。幸運(yùn)的人不會(huì)戴上眼罩,把自己困在一塊地方,而是睜大雙眼,把自己放在任何有可能出現(xiàn)好運(yùn)的地方。
相信自己有好運(yùn)
Believe you are lucky and you will be:
相信自己有好運(yùn),好運(yùn)自會(huì)滾滾來:
The power of positive thinking is quite real. Before you go to a party or business meeting, tell yourself you are lucky and you will have more confidence to reach out to others, engage with the world in new ways, and seize opportunities when they are presented. If you continue to tell yourself that you have no luck, this, too, could become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
正面思考的力量是實(shí)實(shí)在在的。在出席聚會(huì)或商務(wù)會(huì)議之前,告訴自己我是幸運(yùn)兒,我能交好運(yùn),這樣你就能更自信地去認(rèn)識(shí)他人,用新的方式去探索世界,在機(jī)會(huì)出現(xiàn)的時(shí)候及時(shí)抓住它。如果你不斷暗示自己是個(gè)倒霉蛋,同樣地,你也會(huì)一語成讖。
永不言棄
Don't give up:
永不言棄:
"Unlucky people collapse under bad luck," says Dr. Wiseman. "Lucky people treat bad luck as a learning experience." An example he frequently uses is when Thomas Edison tested thousands of materials before he discovered the right one for his incandescent lamp. There are many such stories and the point is always the same: Don't allow fear of failure to stop you. Don't give up.
懷斯曼醫(yī)生說,“厄運(yùn)來時(shí),倒霉的人會(huì)崩潰。而幸運(yùn)的人會(huì)從壞運(yùn)氣中吸取經(jīng)驗(yàn)?!比藗兘?jīng)常會(huì)舉愛迪生發(fā)明燈泡的例子,在他試驗(yàn)了上千種材料后終于找到了一種合適的材料發(fā)明了白熾燈。這種例子不勝枚舉,所要說明的道理只有一個(gè):別讓失敗的恐懼停下你的腳步。永不言棄。
看到光明的一面
Look at the bright side:
看到事物的光明面:
Unlucky people, according to Dr. Wiseman's research, tend to be more tense, anxious and negative than those who consider themselves lucky. When things happen to them -- a car accident, for example -- they focus on all the things that went wrong, as opposed to those that went right. Those who focus on the negatives that happen to them can often believe they are not only unlucky, but cursed. Which person do you think will have the greatest success in life?
根據(jù)懷斯曼醫(yī)生的研究,比起那些幸運(yùn)的人,倒霉的人往往顯得更加緊張、焦慮和消極。一旦有什么事情發(fā)生,比如發(fā)生了一場(chǎng)車禍,倒霉的人就會(huì)把注意力集中在不好的一面,而不去看積極的一面。這種只看到消極事物的人,不但會(huì)覺得自己是個(gè)倒霉蛋,還會(huì)覺得自己是個(gè)掃把星。積極的人和消極的人,你覺得哪種人在生活中會(huì)取得更大的成就?
