　　：處事方法A—B—C

　　As an airport skycap checked through a customer at curbside, he accidentally knocked over theman's luggage.

　　一個機場行李搬運員在航站樓邊幫一個旅客搬行李時無意 中撞翻了這個人的箱包。

　　He quickly collected the fallen bags and apologized for the mishap. Unappeased, the travelerburst into an angry tirade, raging and swearing at the skycap for his clumsiness.

　　他趕快收拾起掉落的行李，並且為他的 過失道歉。然而那個旅客一點不領情，他大發脾氣，言辭激烈， 粗暴地罵那個行李員笨拙。

　　Throughout the traveler's rant, the baggage handler simply apologized and smiled. The angryman continued to berate the skycap, until he finally headed off to catch his plane.

　　叫罵過程中，那個行李員始終都是微 笑道歉。那個暴怒的旅客一直不停地訓斥那個行李員，直到最後 他去趕飛機。

　　Even then the baggage handler remained calm and passively smiled.

　　即使這樣，那個行李員依然保持著平靜和微笑。

　　The next customer in line witnessed the incident and marveled at the skycap's professionalismand control.

　　排隊等候的另一位顧客目睹了整個事件，對行李員的職業 水準和控制力讚歎不已。

　　"I have never seen such restraint and humility," he said. "How do you keep your cool whensomebody is attacking you so viciously?"

　　“我從沒見過如此的剋制與謙卑。”他說， “當別人這麼惡毒的攻擊你時，你是怎麼保持冷靜的?”

　　"It's easy," the skycap answered. "He's going to Denver, but his bags are going to Detroit."

　　“很簡單。”行李員答道：“他要去丹佛，但是他的行李會 去底特律。”

　　That is certainly ONE way of managing attitudes, but here is a more constructive approach.Have you heard of the A-B-C method of managing your attitude? It's simple and effective.

　　這當然是一種處事的態度，但我們還有更富建設性的方法。你聽說過一個叫“A-B-C”的處事方法嗎?這是個簡單而 有效的方法。

　　"A" stands for the "Activating Event." Let's say you get stuck in traffic. The traffic jam is theactivating event.

　　“A”表示“引發亊件”。比如說你遇到交通堵塞，塞車就是 那個引發事件。

　　"B" stands for your "Belief System." You believe that traffic is only getting worse and you'll havemore and more days like this ahead.

　　“B”表示你的“信念系統”。你相信交通會越來越糟，以後 像這樣的日子會越來越多，

　　"C" stands for the "Consequence of the Event." You become angry. You want to honk yourhorn. Your stomach is tied in knots and you bang the dashboard with your fist.

　　“C”代表“事件結果”。你開始生氣，你想要鳴汽車喇叭, 你的胃扭成了一團，你用拳頭使勁砸儀表盤。

　　The problem is...most people jump directly from "A" to "C." They get stuck in traffic and becomeangry. They think the traffic jam made them upset. They don't realize that they didn't HAVE toget angry. They skipped an important step!

　　問題是……很多人會從“A”直接跳到“C”。他們遇到塞車 就暴怒，他們認為塞車讓他們難受，他們認識不到他們根本沒必 要憤怒，他們漏掉了最重要的一步。

　　Let's try it again:

　　我們來再試一追：

　　"A" - you get stuck in traffic.

　　“A” 一你遇到塞車。

　　"B" - you believe that you were given some unexpected and extra time to spend in solitude,to listen to a great tape or to plan your day.

　　“B” 一一你認為你得到了意外的或額外的時間可以一個人^ 待會兒，聽聽動聽的音樂，或者計劃一下一天的時間，

　　"C" - the consequence is that you feel gratitude for the gift of time.

　　“C”——結果就是你會感激這份時間的禮物。

　　I have a friend who is fond of saying, "A traffic jam has no power to make us angry. It juststops our car." He is aware that between the activating event and the consequence issomething that we control: our beliefs about what is happening.

　　我有個朋友總喜歡說：“塞車本身沒有讓我們發怒的鷹力， 它只是讓車子停下來而已。”他知道在引發事件和結果之間的東 西是我們所能控制的，即對於正在發生的事情的看法。

　　The next time you have a problem -- at home or at work, big or small -- decide to manage yourattitude toward it. Practice the A-B-C method.

　　下次你遇到問題——無論在家裡還是在單位，也無論大 小——先決定你對這件事要採取什麼態度。

　　You probably can't change "A," the activating event. But try changing "B," your beliefs aboutthe problem. When you change your beliefs, you also change "C," the consequences of thesituation.

　　試試這個“A-B-C” 法，也許你改變不了 “A”，那個引發事件，但是試著把握“B”， 你對這個問題的信念。當你改變了信念，你也就改變了 “C”， 亊情的結果。

　　It's as simple as A-B-C. Manage your beliefs, and you'll manage to be a lot happier!

　　像A-B-C—樣簡單，掌握了你的信念，你就能獲得更多的 快樂!

　　：非凡人生的七大祕訣

　　A great life doesn't happen by accident. A great life is the result of allocating your time, energy, thoughts, and hard work towards what you want your life to be.?

　　非凡的人生不是無根之木，無源之水。它需要合理分配自己的時間、精力、心思，為實現自 己的生活目標而努力。

　　Stop setting yourself up for stress and failure, and start setting up your life to support success and ease.

　　走出憂慮和失敗，全身心地迎接成功和安逸。

　　A great life is the result of using the 24/7 you get in a creative and thoughtful way, instead of just what comes next. Customize these " secrets" to fit your own needs and style, and start creating your own great life today!

　　不要得過且過，創造性 地好好利用生命中的分分秒秒吧!讓我們從今天開始，根據下面的“祕訣”和自身情況，創 建屬於自己的非凡人生。

　　1. S—Simplify. A great life is the result of simplifying your life. People often misinterpret what simplify means. It's not a way to remove work from your life.

　　1、化繁為簡。非凡的人生源於簡單的生活。人們往往誤解了簡單的含義，即不參加工作。

　　When you focus on simplifying your life, you free up energy and time for the work that you enjoy and the purpose for which you are here. In order to create a great life, you will have to make room for it in yours first.

　　當生活真正簡化，你就會有時間和精力從事喜歡的工作，併為之奮鬥。建立非凡的人生，首 先要有自己的空間。

　　2. E—Effort. A great life is the result of your best effort. Creating a great life requires that you make some adjustments. It may mean reevaluating how you spend your time, or choosing to spend your money in a different way.

　　2、不懈努力。非凡的人生源於個人的苦心經營。

　　It may mean looking for new ways to spend your energy that coincide with your particular definition of a great life. Life will reward your best effort.

　　這可能需要重新分配時間，或調整理財方 式：用新的方式把精力投向能引領非凡人生的地方去。有付出就會有回報。

　　3. C—Create Priorities. A great life is the result of creating priorities. It's easy to spend your days just responding to the next thing that gets your attention, instead of intentionally using the time, energy and money you have in a way that's important to you. Focus on removing the obstacles that get in the way of you making sure you are honoring your priorities.

　　3、分清主次。非凡的人生源於分清主次。不要被瑣碎的事所吸引，而撇開重要之事，不然， 時間、精力和金錢便會浪費。要想達到目的，就要善於梳理頭緒，掃清障礙，分清輕重緩急。

　　4. R—Reserves. A great life is the result of having reserves—reserves of things, time, space, energy, money. With reserves, you acquire far more than you need-not 6 months living expenses, but 5 years worth; not 15 minutes of free time, 1 day. Reserves are important because they reduce the fear of consequences, and that allows you to make decisions based on what you really want instead of what the fear decides for you.

　　4、有備無患。非凡的人生源於懂得儲存--儲存物品、時間、空間、精力和金錢。那樣，獲 得就會遠遠多於所期望的--就會得到五年的生活費，而不是六個月的;一整天的閒暇時間， 而不是 15 分鐘。儲存能減少顧慮，從而使決定不受限制，思想不會猶豫。

　　5. E—Eliminate distractions. A great life is the result of eliminating distractions. Up to 75% of your mental energy can be tied up in things that draining and distracting you. Eliminating distractions can be a difficult concept to many people, since they haven't really considered that there is another way to live. Look around at someone's life you admire. What do they do that you would like to incorporate into your own life ? Ask them how they did it. Find ways to free up mental energy for things that are more important to you.

　　5、專心致志。非凡的人生源於專注。做事三心二意，會耗費一個人 75%以上的精力。很多 人不知道如何清除雜念，因為他們從未想過換種方式生活。看看周圍那些令你羨慕的人的生 活吧!看自己能從他們身上學到些什麼?向他們請教，尋求專注的方式，把精力集中到真正 重要的事情上。

　　6. T—Thoughts. A great life is the result of controlling your thoughts so that you accept and allow for the possibility that it actually can happen to you! belief in the outcome will directly dictate how successful you are. Motivated people have specific goals and look for ways to achieve them. Believing there is a solution to the same old problems you encounter year after year is vitally important creating a life that you love.

　　6、堅定信念。非凡的人生源於信心十足。信心直接決定勝負成敗。有動力的人目標明確， 並會想盡一切辦法去實現。生活中會反覆遇到很多問題，相信這些問題終會解決，是創造美 好生活的關鍵。

　　7. S—Start. A great life is the result of starting. There's the old saying everyone's familiar with “a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step” In order to even move from the couch to the refrigerator, you have to start. There’s no better time to start than today. Don't wait for a raise, or until the kids get older or the weather is better. Today, right now, is the right day to start to take a step in the direction of your heart's desires. It's what you do TODAY that will make a difference in your life tomorrow.

　　7、立刻行動。非凡人生源於行動。有句大家熟悉的古諺，“千里之行始於足下”。即使再小 的事情，諸如從沙發走到冰箱前，也需要親自行動。從今天開始行動吧，不要再找藉口，說 等漲工資了，等孩子長大了，或者等天氣好了再說吧。從今天開始，去努力實現心中的夢想， 這是最好的時機。只有這樣，才能開創美好的明天。

　　：做自己情緒的主人

　　The tides advance; the tides recede. Winter goes and summer comes. summer wanes and thecold increases. The sun rises; the sun sets. The moon is full; the moon is black. The birdsarrive; the birds depart. Flowers bloom; flowers fade. Seeds are sown; harvests are reaped. allnature is a circle of moods and I am a part of nature and so, like the tides, my moods will rise;my moods will fall.

　　潮起潮落，冬去春來，夏末秋至，日出日落，月圓月缺，雁來雁往，花飛花謝，草長瓜熟，自然界萬物都在迴圈往復的變化中，我也不例外，情緒會時好時壞。

　　Today l will be master of my emotions.

　　今天我學會控制情緒。

　　It is one of nature's tricks, little understood, that each day I awaken with moods that havechanged from yesterday.

　　這是大自然的玩笑，很少有人窺破天機。每天我醒來時，不再有1日日的心情。

　　Yesterday's joy will become today's sadness; yet today's sadness will grow into tomorrow's joy.Inside me is a wheel, constantly tuning from sadness to joy, from exultation to depression,from happiness to melancholy.

　　昨日的快樂變成今天的哀愁，今天的悲傷又轉為明日的喜悅。我心中像一隻輪子不停地轉著，由樂而悲，由悲而喜，由喜而憂。

　　Like the flowers, today's full bloom of joy will fade and wither into despondency, yet I willremember that as today's dead flower carries the seed of tomorrow's bloom so, too, doestoday's sadness carry the seed of tomorrow's joy.

　　這就好比花兒的變化，今天枯敗的花兒蘊藏著明天新生的種子，今夭的悲傷也預示著明天的快樂。

　　And how will I master these emotions so that each day will be productive? For unless my moodis right the day will be a failure.

　　我怎樣才能控制情緒，以使每天卓有成效呢?除非我心平氣和，否則迎來的又將是失敗的一天。

　　Trees and plants depend on the weather to flourish but I make my own weather, yea Itransport it with me.

　　花草樹木，隨著氣候的變化而生長，但是我為自己創造天氣。

　　If I bring rain and gloom and darkness and pessimism to my customers then they will reactwith rain and gloom and darkness and pessimism and they will purchase naught.

　　我要學會用自己的心靈彌補氣候的不足。如果我為顧客帶來風雨、憂鬱、黑暗和悲觀，那麼他們也會報之於風雨、憂鬱、黑暗和悲觀，而他們什麼也不會買。

　　If I bring joy and enthusiasm and brightness and laughter to my customers they will react withjoy and enthusiasm and brightness and laughter and my weather will produce a harvest ofsales and a granary of gold for me.

　　相反的，如果我們為顧客獻上歡樂、喜悅、光明和笑聲，他們也會報之以歡樂、喜悅、光明和笑聲，我就能獲得銷售上的豐收，賺取成倉的金幣。

　　And how will I master my emotions so that every day is a happy day, and a productive one?

　　我怎樣才能控制情緒，讓每天充滿幸福和歡樂?

　　I will learn this secret of the ages: Weak is he who permits his thoughts to control his actions;strong is he who forces his actions to control his thoughts.

　　我要學會這個千古祕訣：弱者任思緒控制行為，強者讓行控制思緒。

　　Each day, when I awaken, I will follow this plan of battle before I am captured by the forces ofsadness, self-pity and failure-

　　每天醒來當我被悲傷、自憐、失敗的情緒包圍時，我就這樣與之對抗：

　　If I feel depressed I will sing.

　　沮喪時，我引吭高歌。

　　If I feel sad I will laugh.

　　悲傷時，我開懷大笑。

　　If I feel ill I will double my labor.

　　病痛時，我加倍工作。

　　If I feel fear I will plunge ahead.

　　恐懼時，我勇往直前。

　　If I feel inferior I will wear new garments.

　　自卑時，我換上新裝。

　　If I feel uncertain I will raise my voice.

　　不安時，我提高嗓聲。

　　If I feel poverty I will think of wealth to come.

　　窮困潦倒時，我想象未來的富有。

　　If I feel incompetent I will remember past success.

　　力不從心時，我回想過去的成功。

　　If I feel insignificant I will remember my goals.

　　自輕自賤時，我想想自己的目標。

　　Henceforth, I will know that only those with inferior ability can always be at their best, and I amnot inferior.

　　從今往後，我明白了，只有低能者才會江郎才盡，我並非低能者，我必須不斷對抗那限些企圖摧垮我的力量。

　　There will be days When I must IN THE WORLD constantly struggle against forces which wouldtear me down.

　　失望與悲傷一眼就會被識破，而其它許多敵人是不易覺察的。

　　Those such as despair and sadness are simple to recognize but there are others whichapproach with a smile and the hand of friendship and they can also destroy me. Against them,too, I must never relinquish control:

　　它們往往面帶微笑，卻隨時可能將我們摧垮。對它們，我們永遠不能放鬆警惕。

　　If I become overconfident I will recall my failures.

　　自高自大時，我要追尋失敗的記憶。

　　If I overindulge I will think of past hungers.

　　自以為是時，看看自己能否讓步駐步。

　　If I attain great wealth I will remember one unfed mouth.

　　腰纏萬貫時，想想那些食不果腹的人。

　　If I become overly proud I will remember a moment of weakness.

　　驕傲自滿時，要想到自己怯懦的時候。

　　If I feel my skill is unmatched I will look at the stars.

　　不可一世時，讓我抬頭，仰望群星。
