Here are the requirements for membership in the 2 Percent Club.Only you will measure your success in meeting them.
1.調整你自己以期能配合他人的思想和特性,觀察狗兒 如何快速地調適自己,以配合主人的情緒,并學習它們的自我控制能力。
Adjust yourself to other people’s states of mind and peculiarities so that you can get along peacefully with them.Observe a dog,and learn the art of self-control by watch how quickly it adjusts itself to its master’s moods.
2.不要計較你和他人間微不足道的一些小事;不要讓這 種小事變成爭議,大人物從不計較不重要的事情。

3.每天應做的第一件事,就是運用建立積極心態的技巧 控制你的思緒,并且整天都要保持積極心態。
Establish control of your mind at the start of each day,using the techniques for building a positive mental attitude.Maintain that attitude throughout the day.
4.學習間接推銷自己的方法,要運用說服和楷模的方 法,而不要強迫推銷。
Learn the art of selling yourself indirectly,by persuasion and example rather than by the hard sell.
5.以誠摯的笑聲纖解憤怒的情緒。
Develop a hearty laugh as a means to release anger.
6.分析你所失敗的事例,并找出失敗的原因,在不如意 時應尋求等值的正面回報。
Analyze all your setbacks and determine their causes.Discover the seed of equivalent benefit in each circumstance.
7.把注意力放在“辦得到”的層面上,除非你真的面臨 “辦不到”的事實,否則根本別去擔心這個問題。“辦得到”的 心態,在此之前就已經指引你邁向成功的途徑。
Concentrate your mind on the can-do portion of the tasks you face.Don’t worry about the cannot-do portion unless and until you meet it face-to-face.By that time the can-do portion will have shown you the way to success.
8.將所有逆境轉劃順境,并使它成為一種自動自發的習慣。果真如此,你就會嘗到更多成功的果實。
Turn all unpleasant circumstances into opportunities for positive action.Make this an automatic habit,and your success will multiply.
9.記住,人是不可能永遠成功的。當你無法完全得到你 想要得到的東西時,應先對自己做更多的了解,以期自己收獲 更豐。
Remember that no one can win all of the time,no matter how much he deserves it.When you do not get exactly what you wanted maximize your gain by increasing your understanding of yourself.
10.把生命看成是不斷學習的過程,即使是不好的經驗 也具有正面的學習意義。
Look on life as a continuing learning process,and even bad experiences will become good ones.
11.記住,你表現出來的思想將會加倍回饋到你的身上, 故必須控制你的思想并確定,你所表現出來的就是你希望從它那里得到回饋的思想。
Remember that every thought you release comes back to you multiplied in its effect.Monitor your thoughts,and make sure you send out only those whose fruits you are willing to receive.
12.要和消極心態斷絕來往,這種心態只會侵蝕你的心靈,并且摧毀你所采取的每一步行動。
Avoid associates with negative mental attitudes.Their attitudes will rub off on you and poison every effort you engage in.
13.要了解你個性中的二元性,你具備“充分確信”的積極面,同時具備“完全不相信”的消極面,務必實踐第一種個 性,而第二種個性將會自動消減。
Be aware of the dual nature of your personality.You have a side with a great capacity for belief and a negative side with an equal capacity for disbelief.Exercise the first,and the second will wither away.
14.當你因為察覺到自己擁有你在祈禱詞中所祈求的東西,而感到充滿自信時,就是在認同祈禱為你帶來的最大好處,但這種認知的過程,需要最高層次的積極心態。
Recognize that prayer brings the best results when you have sufficient faith to see yourself already in possession of the things you are praying for.This calls for a positive mental attitude of the highest order.
從以上的說明中,你可看出積極心態是多么地強化諸多 和個人成就息息相關的原則。你必須訂定明確目標,將信心 運用到這些目標上,并且以積極心態為基礎,展現你的個人進 取心。以下二章將告訴你更多維系積極心態的原則。成功是 一種復雜的有機過程,當你能奉行其中的一項原則時,就能繼 續奉行其他原則。
You can see how a positive mental attitude relies upon and reinforces so many of the principles crucial to personal achievement. You need a definite major purpose,applied faith in that purpose,and the personal initiative to act in ways that express your PMA.The next two chapters will teach you more principles that both support and sustain your PMA.The cultivation of success is a complex,organic process;whenever you advance in acting on one of its tenets, you advance in others.
