25种方法提升你的自信(4)
16. Focus on solutions. 专注于解决问题。
If you are a complainer, or focus on problems, change your focus now. Focusing on solutions instead of problems is one of the best things you can do for your confidence and your career. “I'm fat and lazy!” So how can you solve that? “But I can't motivate myself!” So how can you solve that? “But I have no energy!” So what's the solution?
如果你是一个爱抱怨的人，或者总是想着问题的人，那么现在改变你的注意力。专注于解决问题而不是问题本身，这是能够增加自信和发展事业的最好办法。“我很胖，而且又懒。”那么你怎样才能解决呢？“我不能激励我自己！”那么你怎样才能解决它呢？“我没有精力！“那么你怎样才能解决呢？
17. Smile. 微笑。
Another trite one. But it works. I feel instantly better when I smile, and it helps me to be kinder to others as well. A little tiny thing that can have a chain reaction. Not a bad investment of your time and energy.
另一个陈腐的方法，却很有效。当我微笑时，我立即感觉好多了，也可以让我对别人更友善些。一些小事情之间有着连锁反应，对你的时间和精力来说都是有好处的。
18. Volunteer. 参加志愿活动。
Related to the “be kind and generous” item above, but more specific. It's the holiday season right now … can you find the time to volunteer for a good cause, to spread some holiday cheer, to make the lives of others better? It'll be some of the best time you've ever spent, and an amazing side benefit is that you'll feel better about yourself, instantly.
和前面“友好且慷慨”那一项联系起来，但更针对性。现在是假日季节了…你可以花时间为好的事业做些志愿活动，洒播些节日的快乐，让他人的生活更加美好吗？那将是你最好的时光，产生的神奇的效果会立即让你自我感觉良好。
19. Be grateful. 怀着感恩的心。
I'm a firm believer in gratitude, as anyone who's been reading this blog for very long knows well. But I put it here because while being grateful for what you have in life, for what others have given you, is a very humbling activity … it can also be a very positive and rewarding activity that will improve your self-image.

我深信人应怀有感恩的，只要是长期看我博客的人都知道的。我把它写在这里的原因是，感激你现在所在的一切，感激别人给予你的一切，是一件非常谦逊的事情…这也是非常积极而有益的，它可以改变你的自我形象。阅读更多。
20. Exercise. 多锻炼。
Gosh, I seem to put this one on almost every list. But if I left it off this list I would be doing you a disservice. Exercise has been one of my most empowering activities in the last couple years, and it has made me feel so much better about myself.
天啊，我几乎把这个列在每个单子上，但如果我把它从单子就去除，又好像在做一件伤害你的事情。锻炼身体成了我几年来感到精力充沛的事情，也一直让我感觉良好。
All you have to do is take a walk a few times a week, and you'll see benefits. Start the habit.
你只需要一周出去小跑几次，你就会收获其中的益处，开始这种习惯吧。
