無(wú)論你是一位經(jīng)驗(yàn)豐富的企業(yè)家或者才剛剛起步，沒(méi)有什么比保持自己的動(dòng)力對(duì)成功更為關(guān)鍵。激勵(lì)大師奧馬爾·佩魯前陣子與我分享了十個(gè)想法：
1.Motivation means choosing to do what you'd rather not do, which is why unmotivated people never get anywhere.
動(dòng)力就是選擇做你不想做的事情。這就是為什么缺乏動(dòng)力的人從來(lái)沒(méi)有取得任何進(jìn)展的原因。
2.Most people want to improve their situation but few take responsibility for motivating themselves to make changes.
大多數(shù)人都希望改善自己的處境，但很少有人為激勵(lì)自己做出改變而采取行動(dòng)。
3.People can always validate the decision to avoid unpleasant work. Example: "Today, I'll get organized; tomorrow I'll make cold calls."
人們總是能為自己逃避不愉快的工作找到借口。例如：“今天我先計(jì)劃一下;明天我就進(jìn)行電話推銷(xiāo)。”
4.Motivation comes from managing your mind and your emotions. Fail at this and you'll live a life of quiet desperation.
動(dòng)力來(lái)自管理你的思想和情緒。如果不能做到這一點(diǎn)，你的生活就會(huì)平淡而絕望。
5.The most depressing and de-motivating sentences in the world usually begin with the phrase "Someday, I'll..."
世界上最沮喪和沒(méi)有動(dòng)力的話總是這么開(kāi)頭的“總有一天，我會(huì)……”
6.If you find yourself thinking negative thoughts, go someplace quiet and replace those thoughts with positive affirmations, prayer or meditation.
如果你發(fā)現(xiàn)自己情緒消極，到一個(gè)安靜的地方把消極的情緒變成積極的肯定想法、禱告或者冥想。
7.To get big results, ask yourself big questions. "Why do I want to be a millionaire?" is far more motivating than "How can I make a living?"
為了取得宏大的目標(biāo)，你要問(wèn)自己一些宏大的問(wèn)題。“為什么我想變成一個(gè)百萬(wàn)富翁?”比“我怎么才能生存下去?”激勵(lì)人心多了。
8.Don't set goals that just excite you; set goals that scare you a little bit. That way they'll strengthen your "motivation muscle."
不要僅僅設(shè)定能剛好讓你興奮的目標(biāo);設(shè)定的目標(biāo)要能讓你自己有點(diǎn)害怕。這樣，這些目標(biāo)就能讓你的“動(dòng)力肌肉”更加發(fā)達(dá)。
9.What holds people back is fear of failure, but if you don't take action, you'll fail by default, so what have you got to lose?
讓人們退卻的是對(duì)失敗的恐懼，但是如果你不采取行動(dòng)，你就默認(rèn)自己失敗了。所以，(行動(dòng)吧!)你又有什么損失呢?
10.You can have whatever you want in life, but nobody is going to give it to you. Everything of value must be earned.
你可以得到生活里你想要的一切，但是沒(méi)有人會(huì)雙手送上。有價(jià)值的東西一定是通過(guò)努力獲得的。
