成功人士具备的十个品质(中英双语学习)

No matter how diverse their goals or crafts, the super-achievers shared many of the same habits. How can you follow in their footsteps? These are the 10 qualities that will set you apart. 知识点拓展：set sb/sth apart (from sb/sth) make sb/sth different from or superior to others 使某人[某事物]与众不同或优於其他的: Her clear and elegant prose sets her apart from most other journalists. 她的散文凝练高雅, 多数新闻工作者无出其右.

不论目标或技艺多么五花八门，成功人士都有很多共同的习惯。那怎样才能像他们那样成功呢？以下十个品质就能让你脱颖而出：

①Dedication To A Vision 为梦想全力以赴

Every great success starts with inspiration, but not every inspiration leads to success. The most common thing we found was these people’s devotion to the day-to-day struggle. Glossy magazine success stories often don’t show the dark moments, the daily grind[graind]苦差事or flagging衰弱的，萎靡的energy that super-achievers endure to realize their goals. However, that dedication is essential to their success.

所有伟大的成功都从创意开始，但不是所有创意都能走向成功。我们发现，成功人士对生活中的平凡琐事也会全力以赴。杂志中光鲜亮丽的成功故事很少会表现成功人士的困顿时刻、日常琐事或他们为实现目标所付出的种种精力。但正是这种全身心的投入成就了他们的成功。

②Intelligent Persistence 聪明地坚持

One thing successful people know: Dedication and blind persistence are two very different things. You can work hard but not smart. When something’s not working, you’ve got to tweak拧，扭，微调it. Some people just keep banging their heads against the wall. Instead of doggedly 顽强地，固执地using the same ineffective tactics, super-achievers pivot and try to tackle the problem from a different angle.

成功人士都知道：全力以赴和盲目坚持是两码事。你可能工作很努力，却工作得不聪明。如果方法行不通，你就得想办法解决。有些人只会认死理，而成功人士却不会死守无效的方法，他们会换个角度来解决问题。

③Fostering A Community 培养智囊团

Star performers know they can’t achieve success on their own. Instead, they must galvanize激励，刺激a group of people around their idea or goal. Teamwork, or having an ecosystem of supporters, turns out to be critically vital for success. It doesn’t just include partners and coworkers. It might also mean employees, customers, investors, mentors, fans and social media followers. They quote business guru领袖，专家，大师Guy Kawasaki: “First you have to create something worthy of an ecosystem. Then pick your evangelists福音传道者.”

卓越名人都知道不可能凭一己之力取得成功。相反，他们必须激励其他人一起出谋划策。团队合作或有一帮支持者对成功来说至关重要。这不仅是指合伙人或同事，也可能包括员工、客户、投资者、导师、粉丝以及社会媒体人士等。引用商业大师盖伊-川崎（小编注：盖伊-川崎是苹果公司前首席宣传官、联合创始人）的话就是：“你先得建立一套有价值的系统，然后才能找到你的传道人。”

④Managing Emotions 情绪管理

We found that managing emotio ns is a key element to success. It’s so easy to be derailed 【使脱轨，阻碍，扰乱】by them, but these people are able to channel anger and frustration into their work. This was an important lesson for Jessica Watson, the Australian sailor who circumnavigated【vt.环航】the world alone at only 16 years old. While out at sea, when loneliness or negativity set in, she would acknowledge her emotions and remind herself that she could get past them. “You can’t change conditions—just the way you deal with them,” Watson said.

我们发现情绪管理对成功也很重要。人们很容易被情绪左右，但成功人士却能很好地化愤怒和抑郁为工作力量。杰西卡-沃森对此深有体会。这位澳大利亚航海员16岁时就独自环游了世界。在海上，孤独或负面情绪来袭时，她会正视它们，提醒自己可以克服它们。“你无法改变环境，所以只能改变面对环境的方法。”沃森说。
