哲理美文：想成為王者？就要有王者的思想

1. Don't let others talk over you. Raise your voice and be heard!

不要讓別人說(shuō)服你，提高你的嗓音讓別人聽(tīng)到!

You know who ignores a tiger? You know who interrupts a tiger during a work meeting? No one, that's who! If you were a tiger, your roar would be heard nearly two miles away.

你知道有誰(shuí)會(huì)忽視老虎嗎?你知道有誰(shuí)在工作會(huì)議期間會(huì)打斷老虎嗎?沒(méi)有人，那可是大人物。如果你是一只老虎，你的怒吼聲兩英里外都能被人聽(tīng)到。

2. Don't be afraid to show off your stripes — the things that make you unique!

不要害怕炫耀自己的條紋——這才是你獨(dú)特的地方!

Every tiger's stripes are unique — no two are alike! You shouldn't feel the need to hide your stripes either. Customize your workspace with pictures of your family or favorite hobby. Find cool wallpapers or desktop apps like Rainmeter to make your desktop your own.

每只老虎的條紋都是獨(dú)一無(wú)二的，沒(méi)有兩只是一樣的!你無(wú)需隱藏自己的條紋。用家人或最鐘愛(ài)的嗜好的照片裝飾你的工作空間。用一些好看的墻紙或像Rainmeter這樣的桌面應(yīng)用，做一個(gè)屬于你自己的桌面。

3. If you've got a problem, jump right in and start swimming.

如果你遇到問(wèn)題了，跳進(jìn)去，立馬開(kāi)始。

What does this mean for you? If you're got a job or assignment, don't procrastinate. If it feels too large, find a small part of it you can do now and try working on it for just 10 or 20 minutes. If you can keep doing that, no problem is too big (or too wet) for you.

對(duì)你來(lái)說(shuō)這是什么意思呢?如果你拿到一份工作或任務(wù)，不要耽擱。如果任務(wù)太重了，你先找出馬上就能進(jìn)行的一小部分，用10分鐘或20分鐘來(lái)解決這個(gè)問(wèn)題。如果你一直這樣做，對(duì)你來(lái)說(shuō)就沒(méi)什么難題了。

4. Don't let others take advantage of you. Own your space.

不要讓別人利用你，你要有自己的空間。

Someone asking to borrow your stapler or eyeing your lunch again? Tigers can claim more than 200 square miles as territory. What's yours is yours. Don't be afraid to let people know it or be afraid to say no (politely, of course). If you do loan something out, set clear expectations of when you want it back.

有人又跟你借訂書(shū)器或關(guān)注你的午餐了?老虎周?chē)?00平方英里都是自己的領(lǐng)地，所以你的東西就是你的東西。不要害怕讓別人知道或害怕說(shuō)“不”(當(dāng)然要注意禮貌)。如果你把東西借出去了，一定要清楚什么時(shí)候要回來(lái)。

5. Be social! But respect the space and time you need to chill out.

要去社交!但注意，在需要冷靜時(shí)要留有自己的空間和時(shí)間。

Tigers have their own territories and tend to live on their own but do often roam larger areas as well, which means they can keep track of what their neighbors are doing.

老虎都有自己的領(lǐng)地，喜歡獨(dú)居，但也經(jīng)常會(huì)到更廣闊的地方去漫步，這樣它們就能知道鄰居在做什么。

"Solitary tigers actually have a rich social life; they just prefer to socialize from a distance," says the National Zoo's website.

國(guó)家動(dòng)物園的網(wǎng)站上說(shuō)：“孤傲的老虎真的有很豐富的社交生活;他們只是在和別人交往時(shí)會(huì)保持距離。”

You can balance your private and social life as well. Set time limits for social media. You'll be more productive, and it'll mean that when you do meet up with your friends, you can leave work at work and focus on them.

你也能平衡好自己的私生活和社交活動(dòng)?；ㄙM(fèi)在社交網(wǎng)站的時(shí)間要有限，你做事效率會(huì)更高，重要的是見(jiàn)朋友時(shí)不要考慮工作的事，把心思收回來(lái)。

6. If you don't succeed at first, don't give up. Keep trying until you get it right.

如果你開(kāi)始不成功，別放棄。一直努力到成功為止。

Even though tigers are powerful hunters, only about 1 in every 10 hunts is successful. That's OK, though, because does the tiger give up? No! So don't get discouraged. Take a break, relax, analyze what went wrong, and try again.

即使像老虎這樣強(qiáng)大的狩獵者，成功捕食的概率也只有十分之一。然而這都沒(méi)關(guān)系，你看老虎放棄了嗎?沒(méi)有!所以你也不要沮喪。休息放松一下，分析哪里出了問(wèn)題，然后繼續(xù)嘗試。

And when a tiger succeeds, they know how to make the most of a good thing, chowing down on up to 90 pounds of food in one sitting. You should savor your victories as well, after all, you've earned them!

老虎成功時(shí)知道如何最大程度享受勝利果實(shí)，坐下來(lái)一次吃掉多達(dá)90英磅的食物。你也應(yīng)該沉浸于你的勝利，畢竟那是你自己贏來(lái)的!

7. Finally: Take your sleep seriously.

最后：把睡覺(jué)當(dāng)回事。

If you've been working like a tiger, you've also got to take care of yourself like one. After all, tigers can sleep over 16 hours a day.

如果你像老虎一樣工作，也要像老虎那樣照顧自己。畢竟老虎一天睡眠時(shí)間能超過(guò)16個(gè)小時(shí)。

Make sure you're getting a healthy amount of sleep each night, set specific bedtimes, don't drink caffeine in the evening, and — if you're feeling really wild — remove all screens from your bedroom. Your sleep is precious, and you need every minute of it.

確保每晚睡眠時(shí)間充足，明確睡眠時(shí)間，晚上不要喝含咖啡因的飲料。如果你真的很興奮，把所有電子產(chǎn)品都拿到臥室外面。你的睡眠很珍貴，需要珍惜每一分鐘。
