英文原文

Ask yourself, what have I read or Learned in the last day, week, month, or year that was positive? What have I done that lifted my spirits and helped me develop my mental strength? Learning is all successful people, and by successful we always mean successfully happy, content, and fulfilled people. They all know that reading, listening, and learning to positive and self-development material is essential to a well-lived life. Not just every now and then, not when you can squeeze it into your busy schedule, every single day. 

问问自己，在过去的一天、一周、一个月或一年里，我读到了或学到了哪些积极的东西？我做了哪些振奋精神、增强心理力量的事情？所有成功的人都在学习，而我们所说的成功，总是指那些真正快乐、满足和充实的人。他们都知道，阅读、倾听和学习积极向上的自我提升材料对于过好生活至关重要。这不仅仅是偶尔为之，也不是在你忙碌的日程中挤时间去做，而是每天。

What could be more important than you feel good? There's nothing. And if you're one of the many who throw around the time excuse, that doesn't roll here. The busiest people on earth find time for self-growth because they understand the fact that a better you is better for all those around you. 

还有什么比感觉良好更重要呢？没有什么。如果你也是那些总以时间为借口的人之一，这里可行不通。地球上最忙碌的人也会找时间进行自我提升，因为他们明白，一个更好的你会让你周围的一切变得更好。

When you make time to fill yourself up first, you have more quality time for all the people and tasks in your life. When you feel better, you do better. Your family and friends would much rather have you a little less but fully there in presence, a you that is happy and vibrant, rather than you there around the clock but always someplace else in your mind, always thinking about the next insignificant task that needs to be done. Society can easily drag us back into the normal world of stress, overthinking, comparison to others, and forgetting the beauty of life. If you want a better life than most, a happier life, you must commit to do what most don't, and that is find time to work on you every day.

当你先花时间充实自己时，你就有更多优质的时间来陪伴你生活中的人和事。当你感觉更好时，你会做得更好。你的家人和朋友宁愿你少陪他们一些，但只要你全情投入、活力四射地陪伴他们，也不愿你虽全天候在场，但心却在别处，总想着下一个无关紧要的待办事项。社会很容易把我们拖回充满压力、过度思考、与他人比较、忘记生活美好的正常世界。如果你想过上比大多数人更好的生活，更快乐的生活，你必须致力于去做大多数人做不到的事情，那就是每天花时间提升自己。
