懶人必讀:七條有助於你成功的定律(圖)

1- Speaking skills
Whether you are hustling for a promotion when you bump into a CEO in an elevator or making an important speech at an international conference, the ability to speak with a wide variety of people is an absolute essential. Good eye contact, a varied vocabulary and the ability to tailor your language to suit your audience are all essential characteristics of an artful speaker. Being a good speaker will give you presence and make you memorable to those who are listening. Practice talking with anyone and everyone you meet, look for a debating society or a Toastmasters group. The rewards are worth it. Being more adept in social situations and being better equipped to network Successfully will help you forge working relationships that could be very advantageous to you in the future. It will also be useful to you for performing duties as a best man or maid of honor.
1. 演講技巧
你也許在電梯裏巧遇到一名CEO，然後想盡方法讓自己獲得升職機會，或者是在一個國際性會議上做一次重要講話，無論是哪一種情況，在衆人面前演講的能力都是絕對不可或缺的。 優秀演講者的必要品質：正確的目光接觸，豐富的詞彙，還有編織你的語言來迎合你的聽衆。 成爲一名優秀的演說者會賦予你良好的風度，讓聽衆對你印象深刻。 你可以和任何人，每個你遇到的人練習說話，找一找辯論社團，或者司儀小組。 這些都值得一試。 在社交場合中更加熟練、在人際關係網中成功地有着更好的裝備都可以幫助你打造有效地人際關係，從而讓你在未來佔盡優勢。 比如說擔當伴郎或者伴娘。

2- Confidence in decision making
Nothing says mediocrity like indecision. A good leader is decisive and will always back himself up when making the correct decision. If you want to be considered leadership material, you have to possess these characteristics. If you are paralyzed by the fear of getting it wrong, you will end up doing nothing, which is worse than trying something and failing. A lot of highfliers are prepared to take risks knowing that a mistake can be corrected. Learn to evaluate different decisions for their pros and cons, and make decisions that will take you closer to completing a given task. The key is to make sure that your decisions are thought-out and reasoned. Be confident in your judgment and believe in yourself to get things right. Don’t just play it safe every time — you will blend into the wallpaper and no one will notice you. Putting yourself on the line will earn you respect, and if your decisions turn out to be right, you can expect to be rewarded for your efforts.
2. 充滿自信的決定
庸人的標誌就是優柔寡斷。 一個好的領導果斷，並且在作出正確的決定時能夠讓別人心服口服。 如果你希望讓別人覺得你有領導天賦，那麼就一定要有這些品質。如果因擔心犯錯而猶豫不決，你將一事無成，這比嘗試過再失敗還要糟糕。很多野心勃勃的人明白一個錯誤可以被糾正，並且隨時準備冒這個險。要學會從有利和不利因素中去估計不同決定的價值，然後做出可以讓你離指定目標更近一步決定。關鍵是要確保你的決定是經過慎重考慮並且合乎情理的。 要對自己的判斷有信心，相信自己可以做好事情。做事不要總是求穩——結果將會是你成爲了別人的背景圖片，沒人會注意到你。把自己當做賭注會爲你贏的尊重，並且如果你的決定一旦被證實爲正確，你就可以期待相應的報酬。

3- Accountability
Another major part of being successful is accepting responsibility, both for successes and failures. If you want other people to respect you, acknowledge your errors rather than trying to blame someone else for your shortcomings. Everyone makes mistakes, but the real test is how you react to that. Putting yourself in the firing line is the mark of a person who wants to achieve great things and is prepared to be scrutinized. It is a sign of confidence and self-belief, and is a key ingredient among those who want to be successful. Being able to admit you have made a mistake is also a sign of humility and can garner respect from your employees. A useful way to hold yourself accountable is to scrutinize your to-do lists, see what you accomplished and what you did not. Look at ways you can improve your performance and take appropriate steps to correct mistakes yourself.
3. 責任承擔
成功的另外一個重要組成就是接受責任，包括成功和失敗。如果你希望別人尊重你，那麼就要學會承認你的錯誤，而不是因爲自己的短處而責怪別人。 每個人都會犯錯，而真正的考驗是你對錯誤的反應如何。把自己放在第一線的這些人，都是想完成大事並且準備好讓別人仔細審查的人。這是相信自己的標誌，也是想要成功的人的主要品質。承認自己犯了錯誤也是謙卑的標誌，可以從你的僱員中爲你贏得尊重。學會承擔責任的一個有用的方法就是仔細檢查你的執行表，看看自己做了什麼，沒做什麼。尋找那些可以提高自己能力的方法，採取適當的步驟去糾正自己的錯誤。

4- A positive attitude
Connected to everything else we have discussed, being positive about work and life is also essential. While your colleagues may laugh at your endless cynicism and misanthropic tendencies, your boss will see you as someone who hates their job and who will never support the aims of the company. We should distinguish between the occasional bad day (although you should always try to minimize this and remain upbeat no matter how trying the circumstances) and being consistently pessimistic. The eternal pessimist will always try to drag other people down and will probably be less productive. If you can cultivate a positive outlook, you will encourage others to be more positive; also, you will be more productive and possibly more credible as someone with executive potential. A positive attitude is entirely self-determined and can be helped by accentuating the positives in any situation. Don’t see problems — see solutions.
4. 積極地態度
持有積極的生活、工作態度也很必要，並且這和我們已經討論過的內容密切相關。當你的同事在嘲笑你的長篇大論和清高時，你的老闆看到的是你討厭自己的工作，不願意支持公司的業務目標。我們要區分好偶爾的壞日子（儘管你應該一直儘量減少這樣的時候，並且無論在多麼艱難的環境中保持向上的態度）和一貫的悲觀主義。無休止的悲觀將會把別人向下拖拽，並且很有可能讓人一無所成。如果你可以樹立積極地態度，你可以激勵別人變得積極；再者，你自己也可以達成更大的成就，也有可能擁有經營管理的潛力而被別人更加信賴。積極地態度完全由自己掌控，並且可以通過強調任何環境中的所有積極因素來獲得。別去看問題——看解決方法。

5- Self-presentation
Learning how to present yourself to others is another major aspect of being successful. A polished look, and in particular, smart attire, will project an image of success to other people — before you have even said a word. A huge amount of your impact on colleagues, bosses or clients will be based on how well put-together you appear, and while substance is crucial, having a great style to support it is no bad thing. If you can afford it, have your clothes tailored and shoes made to measure: they will fit much better than off-the-rack goods. Don’t forget that the way you look also enhances the way you feel about yourself, making you more confident.
5. 自我表達
學會怎樣向別人表達自己是成功的另一個主要方面。經過修飾的外表，特別是瀟灑的着裝，將會向別人展現出成功者的形象——甚至在你開口說話之前。你對你的同事，老闆或者客戶的影響很大一部分取決於你的着裝， 當然物質方面確實比較重要，有着很好的品味來支持你的外表並不是什麼壞事。 如果你可以負擔得起，就讓裁縫爲你打造適合你的服裝和鞋子。它們會比買來的現成的衣物更適合你。美觀的外表也可以影響到你的自我感覺，讓你更加自信，這一點千萬別忘記。

6- Time management skills
It doesn’t matter how well you dress, how positive you are or how well-spoken you are if you cannot keep everything under control. Disorganization means that you will be forever playing catch-up with your work, rushing to meet deadlines and producing work below par. Learn to keep a detailed diary, listing deadlines and setting a schedule for your work, to ensure it is all done with time to spare. Your work will be of better quality and you will be entrusted with increased responsibility. It will also afford you additional leisure time. It is a key element to success and well-worth practicing. This means overcoming procrastination (which we can all be guilty of at times), setting goals that are challenging (but realistic) and trying to use your time efficiently. Don’t check your e-mails 17 times every hour — spend that time writing up that project that is due tomorrow. Ideally, you will reach a stage when you can get ahead of the curve and start taking on additional projects and responsibilities — a surefire way of setting yourself up for that promotion.
6. 合理分配時間
如果你不能把所有事情控制在掌握之中，那麼無論你穿得多麼得體，多麼積極樂觀，口才多麼好都沒什麼用。混亂的時間分配意味着你將永遠扮演追趕日程表的角色，倉促地撞上最後期限，艱難地完成工作。 學習記錄非常詳細的日記， 列出最後期限，製作出工作的日程表， 確保工作完成後還有剩餘的時間。 這樣你的工作質量會提高，別人會讓你承擔越來越多的責任。也可以讓你擁有更多閒暇時間。 這是成功的重要元素並且值得實踐。 這也意味着克服拖沓的習慣（這也是我們一直感到內疚的），訂下具有挑戰性的目標（但是要實際可行的），有效率地運用你的時間。 不要每小時檢查你的郵箱17次——用那些時間寫下那些第二天要完成的事情。 在理想狀態下，當你遙遙領先並且着手其他的工作和責任的時候，你將達到另一個階段——獲得升職的成功之路。

7- Success is Simple
There you have it: An essential list to help you move up in the world and stake your claim in business. There are more of course, but no other general guide is more comprehensive. A final word of advice: Worry not about an intangible trait you may not have. Even if you aren’t the best communicator or dealmaker, you can still make your mark with expertise in a specific field or venture.
As long as you make your mark in something, the sky is the limit. Just keep in mind that the best of the best have a wide scope of knowledge and do not focus on one area alone.
7. 成功，很簡單
這樣你就會明白：必要因素的清單，可以讓你在世界不斷攀升，在事業上劃分你自己的領土。 當然還有其他的成功因素，但是沒有比這些更加具有廣泛性的總綱領了。 終極建議：不要爲自己不一定擁有的、捉摸不透的特質而煩惱。即使你不是最好的傳播者或者交易者，你仍然可以在自己的專門領域或者旅程中取得成就。
只要你有所成就，潛能無極限。 只要牢記，精英中的精英擁有不凡的見識，並不只專注於一個領域。
