Slow and Steady Wins
慢而稳者操胜券
Most of us hesitate to make any serious alteration in our lives, and with good reason. "Past experience has convinced us that change is risky and filled with uncertain outcomes," says motivational speaker Anthony Parinello, author of The Power of Will: Key Strategies to Unlock Your Inner-Strengths and Enjoy Success in All Aspects of Life (Chandler House, 1998).
我们大多数人在生活中做出任何重大改变时都会犹豫不决。我们这样做有着充分的理由。“过去的经历让我们确信,改变都是有风险的,并且结果有着太多的不确定性,”励志演说家,《意志的力量:激发潜能,享受全方位成功》(Chandler House出版社,1998年版)一书的作者安东尼·帕里内洛如是说。
When we finally make the move, our tendency is to get it over with in one fell swoop. "But real change is an ongoing process with a recognizable pattern," warns Parinello. "Anyone who manages it successfully has to take much the same steps."
当我们最终决定行动的时候,我们往往希望一下子就完成。但帕里内洛警告说:“真正的改变是一个持续的过程,有明显的模式。要想成功地改变,任何人都必须采取几乎同样的步骤。”
