성공가이드

Carry index cards, a hand-held computer or a small notebook. Borrow napkins to write on. As you become an action-oriented person, positive thoughts will occur with increasing regularity. Write down your ideas. You will have good ideas because you will have many ideas. Review your notes before your quiet time or before bed. You will become your own best therapist. You will see the ways to solving your own problems, finding your own route to happiness and realizing your own dreams. Spend most of your time thinking about solutions and not problems. Get back to recording your thoughts.

 하루 하루에 특별한 목적을 부여하자. 불운하고, 불행한 사람들은 보통 매일 매일이 똑같다. 오늘이 월요일인가 목요일인가? 오늘이 3월인가 11월인가? 오늘이 오후 3시인가 오전 10시인가? 그들은 틀에 박힌 하루 하루를 살아가므로, 이러한 질문들은 무의미하다.

 모든 사람에게는 매일 같은 양의 시간이 주어진다. 당신은 24시간을 어떻게 사용하려고 하는가? 미리 계획하자. 일의 목록을 만들자. 목록은 개인적인 성취와 삶의 균형을 위한 지도가 될 수 있다. 종이와 연필을 항상 지니고 다니자. 당신과 가족들의 더 나은 내일을 위해서 당신은 오늘 무엇을 할 것인가?

Many people enjoy using the first few minutes of the day for their reflective time. How did yesterday go? What do you want to accomplish today? What will be most important? This, of course, becomes your prioritized to-do list. How will today vary from your usual routine? Can you think of any small things that you can do? Perhaps there is something that you’ve been avoiding, that, if you do it, would make you feel especially proud of yourself. Give each day a specific purpose. For unsuccessful, unhappy people, there is often a sameness to their days. Is it Monday or Thursday? Is it March or November? Is it 3 o'clock in the afternoon or 10 o'clock in the morning? They’re in a rut and it doesn't matter. Everybody has the same amount of time each day. How are you going to spend your 24 hours? Plan in advance. Make lists. Lists are your road map to personal accomplishment and balanced living. Always carry paper and pen. What are you doing today to ensure a better tomorrow for yourself and your family?

 실용적이 되자. 투자를 많이 하기 위해서는 당신은 일을 더하던가 돈을 적게 쓰던지 할 수 있다. 가계부를 적고, 점검하는 많은 사람들은 소비하기 전에 생각하고, 조직화하는 행동을 통해서 삶의 방식에 큰 변화없이 10% ~ 15%의 소득을 절약할 수 있다는 것을 발견했다. 절약을 통해서 재산을 늘리자.

Separate your wants from your needs. You want to work for all you need, not necessarily for all you want. You do not have to sentence yourself to a lifetime of hard labor for the false trappings of status. Living on less can eventually yield much more. The simpler you make your life, the easier it will be to maintain. Think in terms of moderation. It is easier to buy things than to sell them. You can make a comfortable life for yourself by finding contentment in the things you already have and holding reasonable expectations. Be pragmatic. To build an investment bankroll, you can work more or you can spend less. Many people who write and stick to a household budget find that the simple act of thinking and organizing before spending can yield savings of between 10% - 15% of their earnings without seriously compromising their lifestyles. Give yourself a raise by being frugal.

 헌신은 내면에서 밖으로 나오는 것이고, 자주 시험되어 진다. 최고의 것에 당신 자신을 평가해보자. 대부분의 보통 사람들은 평균이 되기를 선택한다. 또한, 이것이 평균이 의미하는 것이다. 만약 계속 시도하는 것을 포기한다면, 당신은 당신의 한계를 알 수 없다. 이만하면 괜찮다는 생각을 버리자. 더 훌륭해지기 위해 헌신하자. 목표들을 하나씩 점검해서 매달 1%의 향상을 이룰 수 있는 방법을 생각해보자. 성공은 여행이다. 그것은 한 순간의 점검이 아니다. 개선의 과정 속에 기쁨이 있다. 성공을 올라가야 할 산의 정상으로 보지 말고, 꾸준히 걸어야만 할 높은 고원으로 생각하자.

 항상 아이들과 고용인들이 최선을 다해 나아가도록 격려하자. 당신과 그들의 목표를 높게 설정하자. 당신은 그것보다 더 잘할 수 있다.

Constantly seek ways to do things better in all areas of your life. The Japanese have a word for the concept of never ending improvement, kaizen. Progress and ultimate success come to those who train and keep training. If you choose to stop and become aware, you can become a better spouse, son, daughter, friend, employer, employee, athlete and citizen. Commitment comes from the inside out and is tested often. Measure yourself against the best. Most others will choose to be average. This is what average means. You won’t know your limits if you don’t keep trying. Reject the idea of good enough. Commit to excellence. Take each of your goals and think of how you can improve one percent each month. Success is a journey. It is not a quick fix. The joy is in the doing. Think of success not as a peak to be climbed but a high plateau to be walked. Always encourage children or employees to do their best and to keep going. Set the bar high for yourself and them. You will all be the better for it.

Don’t complicate your life. Think before you act. Look for the simple ways or answers first where less can go wrong. Work from your basics. Make sure that you understand the assignment or the problem before you begin. What are the time and performance expectations that will indicate satisfactory completion? Reexamine how you are doing things. Is a task consuming all of your time? Is it worth the time you are investing? Do you have the necessary resources? Can it be delegated? If so, is the right person assigned to complete the job? Your research, your quiet time, your commitment to teamwork and your prioritized to-do list should all help. Pare away the unnecessary. Even the philosophy underlying these Action Principles can be stated very simply. Improve yourself and help others.

 겸손함을 가지고, 복종하자. 당신은 단지 약하고, 쉽게 무너지는 하나의 사람에 불과하다. 모든 종교는 그들만의 기도 방식을 갖고 있다. 기도는 신과 당신의 대화를 가능하게 해준다. 당신의 성공과 행복은 신의 대답이다. 당신의 이타적인 다른 사람을 돕는 선한 행동들은 당신의 기도에 대한 신의 응답이다.

Look at the big picture. You build your life upon your faith. You cherish your faith. You aren’t afraid to tell others of your beliefs. You stand for positive values. You are ethical in your dealings. You pray and meditate to have the courage to face your fears. You pray and meditate to have the strength to accept, endure and triumph over the hardships and small daily annoyances that the path to success will present. You celebrate the good that you find in the world. With humility, submit. You are but one fragile, fallible human. Every religion has prayers. A prayer is your conversation with God. Your success and happiness is God’s answer. Your selfless good works in helping others are your prayers put into action.

Follow through to make sure that you’ve done the job right. Follow through to say thank you and offer new ideas. Follow through to ask for more business. You earn respect by saying what you’re prepared to do and then doing exactly that. Follow through shows that you are a person of your word and someone who cares. It shows that you are accessible and that you want to keep the lines of communication open. You may make mistakes and follow through gives you the opportunity to correct and to learn from those mistakes. Personalize your follow-up with handwritten notes and phone calls. Small gifts, tickets and lunches may also be appropriate follow-up incentives. Check up on yourself and reap the rewards. Follow through amplifies your effectiveness.

 책과 잡지, 신문에서 영감을 주는 구절들을 읽으면, 그것들을 적어 놓거나 따로 보관해 놓자. 모든 것을 폴더나 박스에 함께 저장해 두자. 이것들은 당신에게 동기 부여의 원천으로서 그리고, 자기 사명서를 작성할 때, 당신을 도울 것이다.

 당신의 자기 사명서는 짧은 몇 문장이거나 몇 단락이어야 한다. 주기적으로 자기 사명서를 참고하고, 당신이 성장하면서, 그것을 수정하는 데 주저하지 말자. 자기 사명서는 당신이 꿈과 목표를 성취할 수 있는 기반을 닦아줄 것이고, 당신의 목적과 매일 매일의 할 일들을 제시해 줄 것이다.

Create for yourself an evolving document that outlines your purpose in life. Who are you? What are your values? What do you intend to do with your time to make your one life meaningful? Excepting acts of God, it is you who determines your future. You don’t have to listen to those who say you are too old, too young, too poor, too unattractive, too uneducated or the wrong color, gender or nationality. They are not speaking of someone following the Action Principles. When you read inspirational passages in other books, magazines or newspapers, write them down or clip them out. Put everything together in a folder or box. This will serve as your motivational reserve and will help you create a personal mission statement. Your mission statement only has to be a few sentences or paragraphs. Refer to your mission statement periodically and don’t be afraid to change it as you grow. A mission statement will help you to establish a foundation upon which you can build your dreams and goals and from which will flow your objectives and daily to-do list.

 다음으로 우선 순위를 매기자.
하루 중 당신의 일들에 대해 우선 순위를 두지 않는다면, 모든 일들이 동등한 중요성을 갖게 될 것이다.
 즉, 어떤 일을 하든지 안하든지 아무런 문제가 되지 않을 것이다.
당신은 당신의 활동들이 중요하게 여겨지고, 명확하게 정의된 목적을 갖기를 원할 것이다.
 해야 할 일들의 목록을 매일 적어보자. 그
리고, 그것에 우선 순위를 메기자. 매일의 목표들 중에서 적어도 하나를 도전하자. 하루가 끝날 무렵, 당신은 여유롭게 쉬면서 성취의 경이로운 감동을 느낄 수 있을 것이다.

A common denominator among the successful is that they are focused on the immediate accomplishment of specific objectives. Separate the important from the urgent and allow time for both. Break down any large task into a series of small tasks and start taking action. In the beginning, don’t be too concerned with how you will achieve your goals. With commitment, research and patience, the means will come. Answers materialize when the facts have been collected. Your goals will evolve into a set of action-oriented objectives, which will become a series of to-dos. Now prioritize. If you don’t prioritize your day’s activities, everything is of equal importance. Whether one thing gets done or not doesn’t matter. You want your activities to be important, to have had a clearly defined purpose. Write your to-do list every day. Prioritize it. Make at least one of your daily objectives a challenge. At the end of each day, you’ll be able to relax and bask in that wonderful feeling of accomplishment.

당신은 당신 자신의 이미지를 만들어 내는 조각가이다.
당신이 원하는 일을 이미 해낸 사람이 있는가? 만약에 있다면, 그들에 대해서 연구하고, 그들이 했던 일들을 따라 해보자.
당신은 언제 어디서나 시작할 수 있고, 단지 그것을 계속 해 나아가면 그것으로 충분하다.
당신이 무엇을 할 수 있고, 무엇을 할 수 없는지에 관해 다른 사람들이 어떻게 생각하는지에 대한 걱정을 하지 말자. 자신감을 가지고, 당신의 현재 상황에 도전하자.
삶은 당신 자신만의 삶이다. 매일 한 단계씩 변화할 수 있다.

 당신의 목표를 적어보자.
단지 3%의 사람들만이 목표를 적고, 단지 1%의 사람들만이 적은 목표를 매일 확인한다.
이러한 1%의 현명한 사람들이 되자.
당신이 목표를 성취한 모습을 머리 속으로 그려보자.
목표란 달성할 날짜가 계획된 꿈이다.
당신은 당신이 선택한 단지 그 목표만큼만 훌륭해지고, 행복해질 수 있다.

Unless you shape your life, circumstances will shape it for you. You have to work, sacrifice, invest, and persist to get the results you want. Choose them well. You can’t start your planning until you know where you want to go. You are the sculptor of your own image. Have others already done what you want to do? Study them and do what they did. Start anywhere, at anytime, and persist. Stop worrying what others think about what you can or can’t do. Believe in yourself and your abilities. Have the self-confidence to challenge your current situation. This is your life to live; it’s day by day and step by step. Write down your goals. Only three percent of people have written goals and only one percent review those written goals daily. Be in that elite one percent. Visualize the attainment of your goals often. Goals are dreams with dates attached. You will only become as great and as happy as the goals you choose.
