  Achieving a balance Never confuse discipline with rigidity。 Perfection is not the aim; rather; strive for the peace of mind that es from being in charge of yourself。

每个成功者都知道的秘密(4)
Most of us need interludes in our work to take a walk or eat snack…whatever revives and refreshes。 Your breathers don’t need to be lengthy to shake out the cobwebs and give some relief。 Such rewards act as incentives for finishing a task; as well as helping you to maintain momentum。
  True discipline achieves a balance of producing; not driving。 Even discipline needs to be disciplined。
  Self…development Disciplined people are happier people because they are fulfilling inner potential。 A woman at one of my seminars told me about her six year…old daughter who swam with a team and practiced every morning for an hour; swimming 2000 to 3000 meters; she related a conversation her daughter had with a family friend。
  “Do you like swimming?” the friend asked。
  “Yes; I love it。”
  “Is it fun?”
  “No!”
  That six…year…old had learned what many adults never experience: the joy of discipline and self…development。 Unfortunately; the very word discipline puts us off because it sounds restrictive and punitive—like a truant officer stalking us to make sure we toe the line。 True discipline isn’t on your back needling you with imperatives; it is at your side; nudging you with incentives。 When you understand that discipline is self…caring; not self…castigating; you won’t cringe at its mention; but will cultivate it。
  Charley Boswell; a former University of Alabama football star with hopes of a professional baseball career; lost his eyesight in World War II; but that didn’t stop him“to bee the National Blind Golf Champion 17 times。” He was quoted as saying;“I never count what I’ve lost。 I only count what I have left。” That is self…development—that is discipline。
  Habit…changing strategies Many a person’s downfall es in trying to change a bad habit by focusing on an undesirable behavior to replace it。
  Countless people tell me they would like to eat better but don’t want to “give up” tasty food。 Rather than thinking about what they can’t have; they should think about what they can eat。 Fruit juice with sparkling mineral water is a delicious substitute for high…calorie soft drinks; snacks and cookies prepared with whole grains and fried fruits give candy bars good petition。
  It isn’t easy to change old habits。 An overweight woman came to me during a seminar and said; “I’m so undisciplined。 I can’t stick to a diet and my house is always a mess。 I feel like a slob。” I told her she wasn’t totally undisciplined。“You made it to this conference。 You arrive promptly at each session; and you are neatly dressed。” She almost smiled; and then I added; “There’s probably a reason why you haven’t been able to lose weight or get your home in order。”
  Later; I found out there was a big reason。 She was widowed a year before。 Her husband had been an alcoholic who verbally abused her all 24 years of their marriage。 It never occurred to her that a poor self…image was keeping her from effecting positive changes。 With this realization; she took the next step in bringing more discipline to her life — by going for counseling。 Meanwhile; some of her friends offered to e to her house and help her clean up; putting her even more solidly on a habit…changing course。
  Mind over matter I remember my school days and Mom’s regular reveille, “Time to get up!” I agonized in bed until the last minute and ran my mother’s patience short。 Then I went away to college and had to get myself up。 Finally; tired of waging war with waking; I decided that when the alarm rang; I would rise — just because I wanted to; regardless of how I felt。 It has worked ever since。
  In Feeling Good; The New Mood Therapy David D。 Burns; ; writes, “Motivation does not e first; action does!You have to prime the pump。 If you wait until you’re ‘in the mood;’ you may wait forever。” When you don’t feel like doing something; you tend to put it off; but it’s often after we get involved in a task that we bee highly motivated。
  Discipline is habit…forming。 A little leads to more; because the benefits prove increasingly desirable。 When you finally overe inertia; you will feel better all around。 We are at our best —physically and mentally—when we are disciplined。

成功人士的共性(1)
佚名
  世间可有“成功的个性”——也就是那些注定使人成功的优势组合?如果的确有,那么,其秘诀何在?每个人都能培养出“成功的个性”吗?
  近来我们在盖洛普组织集中深入地对成功问题进行了研究,在美国《名人录》中随机选取了1500名杰出人物,研究他们的态度和性格特征。在《名人录》中选取人物的重要标准是他们在其所属领域作出了被公众接受的贡献,而不是财富和社会地位。我们的研究将高成就者身上频繁出现的几种性格特征准确地显示出来。以下是最重要的5条:
  良好的判断力 这是被调查者所拥有的最普遍的品质。79%的人在这一项上都得了高分。并且61%的人说判断力为他们的成功立下了汗马功劳。
  对多数人来说,判断力是指合情合理地解决日常事务的能力。要做到这一点,就该扫除无关主题的思想的羁绊,确定事情的核心。一名得克萨斯的石油和天然气业的巨头如是说:“简单化是获取成功的一个重要能力。在主持会议和处理工业规定时,将一个复杂问题变成最简单的条款非常有必要。”
  良好的判断力是一个人与生俱来的特征,还是后天提高的呢?那位石油大亨回答说,良好的判断力肯定可以培养出来。他把自己的这种能力归功于在学校学习辩论的技巧。增强判断力的另一种方法是观察别人,从别人和自己的错误中学习。
  对你所在的领域了如指掌 在良好的判断力后,拥有某一领域的专业知识是被调查者的第二个普遍特征,3/4的人在这一项上给自己打了满分。
  曾任坦尼科石油勘探公司总裁的地质学家菲利浦?奥克斯勒,现任坦尼科公司欧洲分公司的主席。他把曾在油田工作过作为自己成功的一大原因,通过“在油井边坐着,观察地质队员”,他学到了第一手成功秘诀。“要成为出色的管理者需要对自己的事业所处的行业有切实的了解。”他说。如今,他的专业知识为他赢得了六位数的年薪。
  专业知识的重要性在实际的工作经验中得到了证明。他说了解自己设备的工作方式是他成功秘诀的一部分。值得注意的是:他不是通过正规的学校教育获得专业知识的,而是自学成才的。
  依赖自己 成就大事业的人基本是依赖自身的资源和能力。77%的被调查者给自己的这一特点打A。依赖自己并非你感觉如何或认为你有多好就可以了;而要看你是否有魄力采取实际行动,并在生活中真正实施这些事情。这包括人们通常所说的意志力以及实现目标的能力。
  被调查者中有2/3的人说他们曾有确定的生活和职业目标。其中半数人给自己的意志力打A。与其他能力相比,意志力是一种主动开展一个项目并持之以恒的能力。
  一般智能 这是做出突出成就不可缺少的,因为它包括对困难的概念迅速理解并能清晰、准确地对其进行分析的自然能力。至少在我们的被调查者眼中是这样的——43%的人说这是他们取得成功的一个非常重要的因素,另有52%的人肯定了它的重要性。
  完成任务的能力 高成就者中几乎有3/4的人认为他们“非常有能力”完成任务。他们普遍认为,至少有三个重要的品质有助于他们这么做,即组织能力、良好的工作习惯和勤奋精神。
  一位物理学教授在总结他的成功模式时这样说:“全力以赴,紧张工作,使自己有规律地匀速前行。”他坦言一周的工作时间总计有100小时。
  除此5条,影响成功还有其他诸多因素,比如领导能力、创造能力、协调能力,当然,运气也不可缺少。但是,良好的判断力、对你所在的领域了如指掌、依赖自己、一般智能和完成任务的能力这5项较为突出。如果具有了这些特点,你就可能获得成功,甚至在某一天,你会突然发现《名人录》中有自己的名字。 txt小说上传分享

  失败的原因各有不同,而那些成功的人士却有着共性,即有良好的判断力、对所在领域了如指掌、依赖自己等等。
  What Successful People Have in mon
  Anonymous
  Is there a “success personality”—some winning bination of traits that leads almost inevitably to achievement? If so; exactly what is that secret success formula; and can anyone cultivate it?
  At the Gallup Organization we recently focused in depth on success; probing the attitudes and traits of 1 500 prominent people selected at random from Who’s Who in America。 The main criterion for inclusion in Who’s Who is not wealth or social position; but current achievement in a given field。 Our research pinpoints a number of traits that recur regularly among top achievers。 Here are five of the most important:
