“Our attitude toward life determines life's attitude towards us。” We've all heard about the power of our attitude, and that it's our attitude that determines how much we succeed in life。

“我們對生活的態(tài)度決定了生活對我們的態(tài)度。” 我們都聽說過態(tài)度的力量，也知道正是我們的態(tài)度決定了我們在生命中會(huì)有多成功。

If you look around you, you will see that people with a positive attitude enjoy life more and are generally happier and more successful than those who walk around grumpy and pessimistic. Our attitude is the driving force in our lives—it can either push you to do great things or pull you down to your demise。

如果你看看周圍，你就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)那些以積極的態(tài)度享受生活的人們，比那些暴躁和悲觀的人更開心而且更成功。我們的態(tài)度是我們生命中的動(dòng)力——它可以推動(dòng)你做偉大的事情，也會(huì)把你帶向滅亡。

While it's true that humans are born with certain tendencies or orientations, our personalities and attitudes are developed through our relationships and experiences. Our attitudes begin to develop in childhood and constantly evolve and change over the years through day-to-day interactions and experiences。

然而，人類天生就有某些發(fā)展趨勢或方向，我們的個(gè)性和態(tài)度會(huì)隨著我們的人際關(guān)系和經(jīng)歷而不斷成熟。我們的看法從孩提時(shí)代開始，并多年來在每天的交往和經(jīng)歷中不斷地發(fā)展和改變。

All the things that you have been through, all the people you have met and interacted with can have an impact on your attitude. If you think that all these factors have molded you into a person with a poor attitude towards life, there is no need to worry as there is always an opportunity for change. Let me share with you how I did it。

你所經(jīng)歷的所有事情、所見過并打交道的所有的人會(huì)影響你的態(tài)度。如果你認(rèn)為這些所有的因素都讓你對生活有了消極態(tài)度，不要擔(dān)心，總有機(jī)會(huì)改變的。讓我與你分享一下我的做法。

5 Simple Things That Can Help Change Your Attitude

五個(gè)簡單的做法讓你改變態(tài)度。

1. Identify and understand what you want to change。

確定并了解你想要改變的事。

The first step towards change is clearly understanding what needs to be changed. Setting clear goals is the key to success in any endeavor. When it comes to changing your attitude, you need to do an honest and in-depth self-evaluation so you could point out exactly which of your traits need to be improved or totally changed。

改變的第一步是清楚了解什么需要改變。設(shè)立明確的目標(biāo)是所有努力的關(guān)鍵。當(dāng)需要改變態(tài)度時(shí)，你需要做坦率和深入的個(gè)人評估，這樣才能確切的指出你需要改進(jìn)或徹底改變的特質(zhì)。

2. Look for a role model。

尋找一個(gè)榜樣角色。

We all need to know that what we're trying to accomplish can in fact be achieved; that we can be more optimistic, more social or more patient. Find someone who has the kind of attitude that you want to have, and let his or her life give you inspiration and encouragement to move beyond your temporary failures in your journey towards becoming a better person。

我們都需要知道我們事實(shí)上試著完成的是什么;這樣我們就能更樂觀、更愛社交也更有耐心。找到一個(gè)有你想要的態(tài)度的人，并讓他/她的生活給你激發(fā)和鼓勵(lì)，來打敗你在變得更好的途中暫時(shí)的失敗。

3. Think about how your attitude change will affect your life。

想想你的態(tài)度改變后將如何影響你的生活。

To be able to hurtle through all the difficulties that lie ahead of you in your journey towards self betterment, you need to figure out exactly what this supposed change could bring to your life. Will changing your attitude mean a happier family or social life? Will a change in your attitude mean a more successful career or business? Fix your mind on the things that would come as a result of your attitude change and you will have a greater chance of reaching your goal。

在你想要變得更好的旅程中，想要度過所有的困難，你必須正確認(rèn)識這些改變會(huì)對你的生活帶來什么。改變你的態(tài)度是否意味著更幸福的家庭或社交生活?態(tài)度的改變是否意味著事業(yè)或生意的更成功?將注意力集中于能讓你的態(tài)度帶來改變的事上，你會(huì)有更多的機(jī)會(huì)達(dá)成你的目標(biāo)。

4.Choose the right company。

選擇正確的同伴。

As they say, “Bad company corrupts good character。” You don't expect yourself to be able to change if you go on surrounding yourself with people who possess all the negative traits that you want to change. Consider befriending new people, especially those who are optimistic and have a healthy attitude towards life. You will see that your effort to change will be easier with these kinds of people as friends。

正如他們所說，“壞伙伴吞噬好習(xí)慣”。如果你周圍仍都是性格不好的人，你不要指望自己能改變。考慮交新朋友，特別是那些樂觀的、有積極生活態(tài)度的朋友。你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)和這些類型的朋友在一起，為改變所做出的努力會(huì)更小。

5. Believe that you are able to change。

相信自己可以改變。

Often, the greatest obstacle between us and our goals is ourselves or our inability to trust in what we are able to do. If you don't believe in yourself or believe that you or your life can change, it just won't happen—you will either never start, or give up quickly so you won't have even given yourself the opportunity to succeed。

通常，我們與目標(biāo)之間最大的障礙是我們自己，或者是認(rèn)為自己沒有能力改變。如果你不相信自己或者自己的生活能夠改變，改變就不會(huì)發(fā)生——你將永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)開始，或者會(huì)很快結(jié)束，因此你將不會(huì)給自己成功的機(jī)會(huì)。

It cannot be denied that a positive attitude is very important for living a successful and satisfying life, so it is only right to strive to have a positive attitude. I have struggled with reforming my negative attitude as well, but over the years, through persistence and self evaluation, I have managed to change for the better. You can too!

不可否認(rèn)，積極的生活對于成功或舒適的生活非常重要，因此需要努力有個(gè)積極的生活態(tài)度。我也與消極的生活態(tài)度斗爭了很久，但多年來，通過堅(jiān)持和自我評價(jià)，我已經(jīng)努力變得更好。你也可以!
