Four Details Ordinary People can Change the World
1. Buy someone's coffee.为他人买杯咖啡
It's just coffee -- no one needs coffee, so this doesn't really matter, right? But what if you knew that a $2 cup of caffeine could change someone's day, week or their whole ? Boom: That cup of coffee just changed the world. Nice things will happen just because nice people do them. You don't have to, you don't necessarily need to, but you can. And the best part is they pass it on.
只是杯咖啡而已——没人必须要喝咖啡,所以也无所谓,对吧?但是如果你知道2美元一杯的咖啡可以改变一个人的一天、一周甚至整个人生,那你会怎么做?哇,一杯咖啡改变了整个世界。因为好人做好事,好事才会来。你不一定要做,你不必一定做,但你能做得到。最好的部分是人们会把它传递下去。
2. Get in touch. Then listen.保持联系,然后倾听
Maybe an old friend had a really bad day, maybe your mom wishes you'd ring her up more often. You remember that your iPhone can make calls, right? Get in touch with those people that are dying to hear from you. Then, ask: How are you doing? What's new? These questions have such few , but their depth is endless.
也许你的爷爷奶奶正迫不及待地想听你的历险,也许一个老友过了糟糕的一天,也许你的妈妈希望你多给她打个电话。联系他们吧。你还记得你的iPhone 能打电话,对吗?和那些很想和你联系的人打个电话吧。然后问问:你怎么样了?最近发生了什么事儿?虽然这些问题只有几个音节,但是这些问题的深度是无止境的。
3. Support someone else.支持他人
You know that friend who is trying to promote their new movie , or start that business? You don't always have to help them -- you just have to believe in something! Lend your support when and where you can. Show someone you believe in what they're doing. Not only will they be motivated, but they'll pass it on.
你知道你的那个朋友在宣传他们的电影,或开了一家新公司?你不用每次都出资——你只需去相信他们!无论何时何地,只要你能帮助他们,就伸出你的手吧。让他们看看你相信他们做的事情。他们不仅仅会受到鼓舞,而且还会把这份正能量传递下去。
4. Stop comparing yourself to people you see on the Internet.不要再和互联网上的人进行比较 We are used to pay close attention to Friends circle、Micro-blog and QQ zone... There's nothing wrong to do that. Everyone want to be the best version of ourselves. But you're you for a reason, and there's no one better at being you than you are! A little self-acceptance goes a long way. Your confidence will melt into other people and make them feel comfortable too.
我们都喜欢看别人在社交网站上的内容…,想成为最好的自己也没什么错。但是你就是你,没人比做你做得更出色的了!一点点儿自我接受,就能走很远。你的自信会逐渐融入他人,让他们也感到自信。
