Now The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey

現在 斯蒂芬-柯維的《高效能人士的7個習慣》。

is packed full of advice that will help

是充滿了建議，將有助於

you a ton in different areas of your life I want to take a look at just a

你在不同的領域，你的生活噸我想看看在只是一個

couple of these that will help you a lot with your English but then I really hope

這些情侶，將幫助你很多與你的英語，但後來我真的希望

that you'll go out and pick up this book.

你會出去買這本書。

So one of the first habits that Stephen Covey

所以，斯蒂芬-柯維的第一個習慣是

talks about in this book is beginning with the end in mind.

本書中談到的是以終為始。

Now Covey actually begins a section in the book by asking us to

現在科維在書中其實有一節開頭就要求我們要

envision our own funeral, he asks us who's there and what did they say about

設想我們自己的葬禮，他問我們誰在那裡，他們說了什麼

us and ultimately the purpose of this is for us to get a vision of what we want

我們，最終的目的是讓我們對自己想要的東西有一個願景。

to accomplish in this life, who do we want to make an impact on.

今生要完成的任務，我們想對誰產生影響。

Now as an English learner this can be extremely powerful as well as an exercise to think

現在作為一個英語學習者，這可以說是非常強大的，也是一種思維的鍛鍊。

about what exactly will it be like when you're fluent, what are you doing?

關於你流利的時候到底會是什麼樣子，你在做什麼？

Who are you speaking to? What are you using the language for?

你在和誰說話？你用這種語言做什麼？

And when you can kind of

而當你可以種

have this vision in mind it will really help power you through all of those hard

牢記這個願景，它將真正幫助你通過所有這些困難的力量。

nights studying or the courage that you need to go and have a conversation with

晚上學習或你需要的勇氣，去有一個談話，與

someone in another language.

用另一種語言的人。

And really the more clear that you can make this vision

而真正能讓這一願景更加清晰的是

the more powerful that it will be.

越是強大，它就越是強大。

Exactly who are you speaking to?

你到底在跟誰說話？

What are you using your English for?

你的英語是用來幹什麼的？

Doing this should help you to actually make the

這樣做應該可以幫助你真正的做出。

right choices today to get there.

今天，正確的選擇來達到目的。

And really what this habit is about is not

而真正這個習慣是什麼不是

just letting life happen to you but actually designing how you want your life to be.

只是讓生活發生在你身上，但實際上設計你想要的生活。

All right and then another habit from this book that I think really

好吧，然後這本書中的另一個習慣，我覺得真的是。

applies to you as an English learner is to seek to understand before being understood.

作為一個英語學習者，適用於你的是在被理解之前尋求理解。

Now this is really crucial in your own language but if you are

現在，這在你自己的語言中是非常關鍵的，但如果你是。

learning another language it becomes even more important.

學習另一種語言就變得更加重要。

Now what this one is about is that normally we don't really listen to people.

現在這個是什麼意思，就是平時我們並沒有真正的聽從別人的意見。

We're in a conversation

我們在對話

with another person they're talking and we're probably thinking in our head how are

與另一個人，他們正在談論，我們可能會在我們的腦海中思考如何是

we going to respond to what they're saying we're not really listening to

我們要回應他們說的話 我們並沒有真正聽進去。

what they're saying.

他們在說什麼。

As human beings we love speaking in fact think about it for

作為人，我們喜歡說話其實想想也是為了

English learners almost everyone's goal is to become a great fluent English

英語學習者幾乎每個人的目標都是成為一名優秀的流利的英語者。

speaker I very rarely hear any English learners say that they want to be a great English listener.

speaker我很少聽到有英語學習者說要做一個優秀的英語聽眾。

However the listening part is so important because

然而，傾聽的部分是如此重要，因為

if you don't really understand people and I mean beyond just the words that

如果你不真正瞭解人們，我的意思是超越了僅僅是話語

they're saying, if you don't really empathize with them really put yourself

他們說，如果你不真的同情他們 真的把自己的

in their shoes then it's unlikely that that relationship is going to go very

那就不可能了，這種關係會走得很遠。

far and this is even more important when that person is from a different culture

遠，而當這個人來自不同的文化時，這一點就更加重要。

from you because it can be so easy to judge someone when you don't really

因為它可以如此容易地評判一個人，當你不真正的

understand where they're coming from.

瞭解他們的來歷。

Now I would imagine that your big goal with

我想你的大目標是

English is to be able to communicate using the language right?

英語是要能用語言交流的吧？

But communication is a two-way street and there's a really great quote that says

但溝通是雙向的，有一句話說的非常好

that you have two ears and one mouth use them proportionally this means that you

你有兩隻耳朵和一張嘴，按比例使用它們，這意味著，你有

should listen twice as much as you speak probably really you can think of some of

應該聽你說話的兩倍可能真的你能想到的一些。

the people that you feel like you connect the most to some of the people

你覺得你與一些人的聯繫最緊密的人。

that you've met in your life that really you felt like I understood you the best

在你的生活中，你已經遇到了，真的 你覺得我是最瞭解你。

and it probably was because they were really good at really listening to you.

可能是因為他們真的很會聽你說話。

So if you only choose one of these books on this list to actually go and read

所以，如果你只選擇了書單上的這幾本書中的一本書去真正讀一讀

I really hope it's this one, you will be a better english learner for it but more

我真的希望是這個，你會因為它而更好地學習英語，但更多的

importantly you'll be a better person.

重要的是你會成為一個更好的人。

All right so the first book that we

好吧，所以我們的第一本書

looked at was The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, now how do you actually

看的是《高效能人士的7個習慣》，現在如何真正做到

even build a good habit or break a bad one?

甚至是建立一個好的習慣或打破一個壞的習慣？

Well journalist Charles Duhigg and

記者Charles Duhigg和

got really curious about all these questions and dug into all the science

對這些問題非常好奇，並深入研究了所有的科學知識

of it bringing us a book that brings us some down to earth stories that help us

的它給我們帶來了一本書，給我們帶來了一些平實的故事，幫助我們。

learn all about how we can replace our bad habits with really good ones.

學習所有關於如何用真正的好習慣來代替我們的壞習慣。

Just to start out with an example one of the stories that I still remember is that he

先舉個例子，我至今還記得的一個故事是，他

tells us about a man who lost a lot of weight by creating a running habit.

講述了一個男人通過養成跑步的習慣，減掉了很多體重。

What was his secret?

他的祕密是什麼？

He actually ate a piece of chocolate after every run but more on

其實他每次跑完步後都會吃一塊巧克力，但更多的是在...

that in just a little bit.

這在只是一點點。

So first off if you want to learn anything it's

所以首先如果你想學習什麼，那就是

really important that you are able to develop habits that support it because

真正重要的是，你能夠養成支持它的習慣，因為。

when you do this it becomes effortless.

當你這樣做的時候，就會變得毫不費力。

This is why I used to hold all of my

這就是為什麼我以前會把我所有的

students accountable to creating fun everyday habits in English and with the

學生負責用英語創造有趣的日常生活習慣，並與。

ones that actually succeeded in doing this I noticed huge differences in their

我注意到，在他們身上存在著巨大的差異。

comprehension and English fluency.

理解能力和英語流利程度。

So just to give you a taste of this book

所以，我只是想讓你感受一下這本書的魅力。

let's look at how habits actually work.

讓我們來看看習慣到底是如何發揮作用的。

Now a Duhigg tells us that habits have

現在一個杜希格告訴我們，習慣有

three parts the first part is the cue now a cue is something that causes

三個部分 第一部分是提示 現在的提示是什麼東西引起的？

another thing to start happening so let's take for example running again if

另一件事開始發生，所以我們以再次運行為例，如果

you want to develop a new running habit you might create a cue by leaving your

你想養成一個新的跑步習慣，你可以通過離開你的身體來創造一個提示。

shoes right by your bed so as soon as you wake up in the morning you would see

鞋子就在你的床邊，所以你早上一醒來就會看到。

your shoes and you would know it's time to go running.

你的鞋子，你會知道它的時間去運行。

Now for your English you

現在你的英語

might want to try something like pairing your studying with your morning coffee

可能想嘗試一些東西，如對你的學習與你的早晨咖啡。

so I have my coffee in the morning and automatically I know

所以，我有我的咖啡在早晨，自動 我知道了。

it's time to study English.

是時候學習英語了。

All right so the next part of the habit is the

好吧，所以接下來的習慣部分是。

routine this is really the bulk of the habit so for running it would probably

例行公事，這才是真正的大宗習慣，所以對於跑步來說，它可能會

be doing the warm-up exercises the actual run and then the stretching

做熱身運動，實際運行，然後拉伸

afterwards and for your English maybe it's actually studying some grammar

之後，對於你的英語，也許其實就是學習一些文法吧

recording yourself and listening to it or doing some writing exercises.

自己錄音聽，或者做一些寫作練習。

Now the last part of the habit is the reward and remember I told you about that man at

現在，習慣的最後一部分是獎勵，記得我跟你說過那個人的事嗎？

the beginning who use chocolate to motivate himself to run?

一開始誰用巧克力來激勵自己跑步？

Well that was his reward but eventually you didn't need the chocolate, he just felt so good

那是他的獎賞，但最終你不需要巧克力，他只是感覺很好而已

after running, getting a runner's high, that that was a reward in itself.

跑步後，得到一個跑者的高， 這是一個獎勵本身。

In most of time when we think about habits we only think about the behavior, right?

在大多數時候，當我們想到習慣的時候，我們只想到了行為，對嗎？

We think about like eating the donut or going for an exercise and going

我們認為就像吃甜甜圈或去鍛鍊，去

for a run right but this cue and this reward are kind of the keys to unlocking

但這個提示和這個獎勵是一種解鎖的關鍵。

habits and to shaping them and remaking them and so if you know this as an

習慣，並塑造它們和重塑它們，所以如果你知道這作為一個。

individual it's enormously powerful.

個人這是非常強大的。

Now for your English you could totally do

現在你的英語可以完全做到

the same thing you could have a treat after you've done some really hard

同樣的事情，你可以在你做了一些非常困難的事情後，你可以有一個很好的治療。

studying or taking really good notes watching this video but you could also

學習或採取非常好的筆記，看這個視頻，但你也可以。

use for example watching an episode of Friends or a funny Ellen video or

例如看一集《朋友》或艾倫的搞笑視頻或

writing a friend on Whatsapp and in English for a few minutes to reward

在Whatsapp上用英文寫朋友，幾分鐘就能打賞。

yourself for having done something more difficult in the language.

自己因為做了一些比較困難的語言。

So The Power of Habit is a really great read if you want to upgrade your learnings from any of

所以《習慣的力量》是一本非常棒的讀物，如果你想從任何一本《習慣的力量》中提升自己的學識。

these other books because you'll just make them a habit.

這些其他的書，因為你會把它們變成一種習慣。

So the next book I have for you is called A Mind for Numbers, now don't be deceived by the

所以，我給大家準備的下一本書叫《數字的心態》，現在不要被這本書欺騙了。

title of this book it's another really great fundamental read which will help

這本書的標題，它是另一個真正偉大的基礎閱讀，這將有助於你的工作。

you with so many other things.

你與這麼多其他的事情。

Now while it actually takes the point of view of

現在，雖然它實際上採取的觀點是。

learning math and science which for the author Barbara Oakley was a really huge

學習數學和科學，這對作者芭芭拉-奧克利來說是一個非常巨大的。

struggle even though she eventually got her PhD in Engineering it actually

雖然她最終獲得了工程學博士學位，但她的奮鬥其實

teaches us the skills that we need to be able to learn anything more effectively.

教給我們技能，讓我們能夠更有效地學習任何東西。

Now for me one of the most impactful things that I learned with this book is

現在對我來說，這本書對我影響最大的一件事就是

that we usually think of learning just as studying that time when we really

我們通常認為學習只是學習的那段時間，當我們真正地

have our head down in the book and we're trying to memorize really difficult

有我們的頭在書中，我們試圖記住真正的困難。

concepts and in English for sure this for you would be when you have to

概念，並在英語中肯定這對你來說將是當你有

memorize grammar rules or vocabulary now while this is

趁此機會背誦文法規則或詞彙。

important for part of the brain what is called the focused brain to actually be

重要的是，大腦的一部分被稱為集中的大腦實際上是

spending that time really memorizing which Oakley actually shows us how to do

花這個時間真正記住哪些奧克利實際上告訴我們如何做。

better this is just half of the equation, so the other half of the learning

更好的這只是一半，所以另一半的學習。

process is the diffuse brain and this is actually how our brain makes the

過程是瀰漫性的大腦，這其實就是我們的大腦如何製造的。

connections when we're not studying and we can actually use the diffuse brain

當我們不學習的時候，我們實際上可以使用瀰漫的大腦的連接

in an effective way to make information stick.

以有效的方式讓資訊變得更有粘性。

So the best thing to do when

所以最好的辦法是當

you're really stuck and frustrated on a problem is not to keep focusing on it

你真的卡住了，在一個問題上的挫折是不繼續關注它

you actually need to get in a very different mode of thinking and that's

其實你需要進入一個非常不同的思維模式，那就是...。

what is represented here and so what this means practically

這裡代表的是什麼，所以這實際上意味著什麼？

for you is you're sitting there you're working, hey get out go for a run go down

對你來說，你坐在那裡，你的工作， 嘿，下車去跑步，下去

and have a...go take a shower if you need to or do something that really gets your

並有一個...去洗澡，如果你需要，或做一些真正得到你的。

mind totally off it because when you're in this mode as long as your attention

因為當你在這種模式下，只要你的注意力... ...

is focused on that problem you're still in this mode you can't get to this way

是集中在那個問題上，你還在這個模式裡，你不能到這個地方去。

of solving things.

的解決事情。

So while it is important to actually have that time

所以，雖然實際有這個時間很重要。

where we're really studying hard if we can then activate the diffuse brain

在那裡我們真的很努力學習 如果我們能激活擴散的大腦

doing something like taking a nap or playing sports it is going to stay with

做一些事情，如睡午覺或運動，它是要保持與

us much longer this is why if you study at night sometimes it can be good then

我們更長的時間，這就是為什麼如果你在晚上學習有時它可以很好，然後

when you sleep you'll wake up with the information much more locked down in your brain.

當你睡覺的時候，你會帶著資訊醒來，更多的資訊鎖定在你的大腦中。

Now Oakley gives us a really great example of this with Thomas Edison

現在Oakley給我們舉了一個非常好的例子，托馬斯-愛迪生。

who is famous for inventing the light bulb.

他因發明燈泡而聞名。

What he would do is he would be in

他要做的是他會在

a session where he was thinking really hard trying to discover something and

一節課上，他真的很努力地思考，試圖發現一些東西，並。

what he would do is he would sit down in his chair with something in his hand and

他要做的就是坐在椅子上 手裡拿著東西，然後

take a nap now right as Edison was falling asleep what he had in his

在愛迪生睡著的時候，他在睡夢中睡了一覺。

hand would drop in the floor and it would suddenly wake him up and what he

手會掉在地板上，它會突然喚醒他，他的

found often is that suddenly he would have a discovery that he wasn't

經常發現他突然有一個發現，他不是

realizing before so he would kind of use this to activate the diffuse brain.

意識到之前，所以他就會種用這個來激活擴散的大腦。

Now this concept is really just the tip of the iceberg so if you read A Mind for Numbers

現在這個概念其實只是冰山一角，所以如果你讀了《數字的心靈》，你就會發現，這個概念其實只是冰山一角。

this is definitely going to help you a lot with learning English and also

這絕對會對你的英語學習有很大的幫助，也是

for learning any else you want.

用於學習其他任何你想要的東西。
