1. Quality of Interpersonal Interactions
人際交往的質(zhì)量

We are defined by how we treat other people. Each interaction with another individual reflects a personal belief system and code of morality. How do you treat strangers? How do you treat the people closest to you? These observations give great insight on a person’s character.
別人是通過我們?nèi)绾螌Υ藖砹私馕覀兊?。和他人的每一次交互，都反映了個(gè)人的信仰體系和道德守則。你如何對待陌生人？你如何對待最親近的人？通過這些可以深入了解一個(gè)人的個(gè)性。

A high-quality person treats all people with respect, no matter the relationship. A stranger deserves an equal amount of respect as a longtime friend. Even if a person has wronged a high-value individual, the wrongdoer is still treated with respect. High-value people understand that disrespecting others is the equivalent of disrespecting the self.
高素質(zhì)的人尊重所有的人，無論他們之間的關(guān)系如何。陌生人也應(yīng)該像老友那樣得到平等的尊重。即使有人不公正地對待高價(jià)值的人，高價(jià)值的人也仍然尊重他。高價(jià)值的人明白，不尊重別人，就等于不尊重自我。

2. Quality of Relationship to the Self
自我關(guān)系的質(zhì)量

Think about your interactions with yourself; the voice in your head. How reassuring is it? How positive? How cruel? A high-value person has an honest and fair relationship with himself.
想一想和自己之間的交互；想一想你頭腦中的聲音。有多么讓人欣慰？有多么積極？有多么殘忍？

He is realistic about his flaws, but confident in his ability to learn, grow, and change for the better. A high-value person talks to himself as a friend and as a coach; the relationship is solid and aimed at progression.
高價(jià)值的人和自己之間的關(guān)系是誠實(shí)和平等的關(guān)系。他知道自己的缺點(diǎn)，但是對自己學(xué)習(xí)、成長、向更好方向改變的能力非常自信。高價(jià)值的人自言自語時(shí)把自己看成朋友，也看成教練；這種關(guān)系是穩(wěn)固的，并且能夠發(fā)展。

3. Consistent Demonstration of Courage
一直很有勇氣

A high-value person is brave. Bravery does not mean that he feels no fear; instead, he is attuned to the feeling of fear, yet proceeds in the right direction anyway. A high-quality person is courageous enough to express his personal gifts and opinions. He does not act with the purpose of gaining popularity: he acts because he is very in touch with his core belief system. Actions are deliberate and aligned with his values, and courage is the refusal to be defined by convention at the cost of authenticity.
高價(jià)值的人是勇敢的。勇敢并不是說他什么也不害怕，實(shí)際上，他已適應(yīng)了恐懼的感覺，但還是朝著正確的方向前進(jìn)。高素質(zhì)的人足夠勇敢，能夠展示自己的天賦，表達(dá)自己的觀點(diǎn)。他這樣做并不是為了受大家歡迎：他這樣做是因?yàn)槟芙佑|到他的核心信仰體系。他的行為從容不迫，符合他的價(jià)值觀，勇氣是拒絕以真實(shí)性的代價(jià)來接受慣例的束縛。

4. Strength of Will and Moral Fiber
意志的力量和道德素質(zhì)

A high-value person is willful, powerful, and moral. There is a clear difference between right and wrong in his book, and these values are non-negotiable. What this type of individual sees as worth pursuing is given full attention and priority. Human willpower is capable of accomplishing astounding feats. Strength of will is defined as a committed persistence to excellence.
高價(jià)值的人堅(jiān)持己見、有影響力、有道德感。在他看來，對和錯(cuò)有明顯的區(qū)別，這些價(jià)值是不能協(xié)商的。他們認(rèn)為是值得追求的東西就會(huì)充分關(guān)注并優(yōu)先考慮。人類的意志力能夠?qū)崿F(xiàn)驚人的壯舉。意志的力量被認(rèn)為是堅(jiān)持不懈就能達(dá)到優(yōu)秀。

5. Contribution
貢獻(xiàn)

A high-value person realizes that he was created to give, and understands that personal wealth is reflected in contribution. His contributions are not made with an ostentatious purpose. Contribution does not have to be at a large scale: giving is an act of joy in itself.
高價(jià)值的人意識(shí)到他生來就是為了給予，他認(rèn)為個(gè)人的價(jià)值體現(xiàn)在貢獻(xiàn)中。他不是為了浮夸而去做貢獻(xiàn)。貢獻(xiàn)也不一定要大：給予本身就是一種愉悅的行為。

By giving to others, the high-value individual feels full inside. This person strategically gives his unique gifts often, but not so that he neglects himself.
通過給予，高價(jià)值的人內(nèi)心感到了充實(shí)。他往往適當(dāng)?shù)亟o予別人獨(dú)特的禮物，但是這樣做，他卻并沒有忽略自己。

6. Ability to Empathize and Forgive
同情和原諒的能力

A high-quality person is capable of relating to those that have wronged him. He is capable of forgiving both outsiders, and himself. Kindness and benefit of doubt go a long way, and holding resentment and bitterness does not allow one to live to his fully capacity. Forgiveness is emancipation from chains of resentment that keep one fettered to the past.
高素質(zhì)的人能和不公正對待他的人相處。他能夠原諒局外人和他自己。善良和假定對方無辜是很有幫助的，而懷有怨恨和痛苦則不能讓他發(fā)揮出自己的全部能力。寬恕讓人從怨恨中解脫出來，而怨恨則讓人束縛在過去中。

7. Effective Prioritizing
有效排列事物的優(yōu)先次序

This world is complicated. We are pulled in multiple directions every day, willingly, or not. Smart people have a strict list of priorities, with interpersonal relationships at the top. There is a difference between having a priority list and living one’s life according to the list.
世界是錯(cuò)綜復(fù)雜的。無論我們愿不愿意， 我們每天都會(huì)受到到多種方向力量的影響。聰明的人有精確的事情優(yōu)先級(jí)列表，頂端是人際關(guān)系。有優(yōu)先級(jí)列表和按照優(yōu)先級(jí)列表生活是有區(qū)別的。

High-value people are excellent time, emotion, and energy managers who carefully allot their personal resources according to their priority list. If a time-consuming objective of low value arises, it is eliminated. The majority of time, emotional, and energy resources are given to nurture and sustain important relationships. The high-value person understands that quality relationships with people are all uniquely temporary and thus invaluable.
高價(jià)值的人能很好地管理時(shí)間、情感和能量，能根據(jù)優(yōu)先級(jí)列表仔細(xì)分配個(gè)人資源。耗時(shí)而價(jià)值低的事情就會(huì)從中去掉。大部分的時(shí)間、情感上和能量上的資源用來培養(yǎng)并維持重要的人際關(guān)系。高價(jià)值的人知道和人之間關(guān)系的好壞都是暫時(shí)性的，因而是無價(jià)的。

8. Flexibility and Openness to Change
靈活并對改變持開明態(tài)度

A high-value individual practices the art of letting go when control cannot be maintained. He does not get angry when things don’t go his way, or when uncontrollable events occur. Traffic, weather, and other people are not controllable. However, emotional mastery is.
高價(jià)值的人當(dāng)遇到不能控制的情況時(shí)，就會(huì)放手。當(dāng)事情不按他想的方式發(fā)展或當(dāng)無法控制的事情發(fā)生時(shí)，他并不生氣。交通、天氣和其他人都是不可控制的。但情緒是可以控制的。

So, how much are you worth?
所以，你的價(jià)值是多少呢？
