增强你的个性，让你显得更酷的十个方法

1.了解你的个性

Know what constitutes strength in character. Strength in character are the qualities that allow its possessor to exercise control over his instincts and passions, to master himself, and to resist the myriad temptations that constantly confront us. Moreover, strength in character is freedom from biases and prejudices of the mind, and tolerance, love, and respect for others.

了解你个性中最本质的东西。它能够帮助你有效地控制自己的情绪和自己，能够禁得住诱惑，并尊重他人。

2.积极面对人生

Focus on the positives in life, and give no thought to the negatives. A physician once said to a young woman complaining of all sorts of troubles for which she asked of him a cure: "Don't think of them: it is the most powerful of all cures." Physical and mental pains can be alleviated by effort of the will to divert the mind into opposite channels, and exacerbated by the dwelling upon them.

积极面对人生。一位哲人曾经说过这样一个故事：一个年轻的妇女跑到他面前求助，她觉得生活处处不如意，请这位哲人给她想个办法，哲人这样回答“不要想这些事情，你就好了”。

3.勇敢无畏

Conquer all fears. Timidity is a stumbling block to success. Entertain no superstition, based upon superficial observations, but accepts facts based only upon solid reason. Build not your foundation upon sand, but upon a rock. Once you overcome fear, you will have the strength in character to think, to resolve, and to act victorious.

勇敢无畏。胆怯是成功的拦路石。不要轻信，每一件事都是有原因的。

4.寻求真理

Seek the truth. Favour reason over emotion. The man with a strong character will examine all the facts with the head, and not be biased by emotions from the heart. He will settles all matters upon reason alone, and not entangle himself in the chaos of sensations.

寻求真理。理性大于感性。一个有个性的人会用自己的大脑去琢磨每件事，而不是凭感觉行事。

5.领导者

Be neither a pessimist nor an optimist, but a leader. A pessimist complains about the wind, an optimist expects the adverse wind condition to improve, but the leader takes action to adjust the sails.

做生活的领导者，而不是悲观者或乐观者。悲观者抱怨风，乐观者等待风停，而领导者是想办法改变这个局势。

6.抑制冲动

Guard against irrational impulses. Always look before you leap. Free yourself from enslavement by your own passions. Inordinate, sensual appetites are the marks of a weak character.

抑制冲动。三思而后行，不要被自己的感情所控制，感性的人是懦弱的。

7.知足常乐

Be content with what you have.Be content with your lot. Appreciate your own values and that which you have.

知足常乐。珍惜你所拥有的一切。

8.适当冒险

Be brave enough to take calculated risks. If you shun the battle, you must forego the victory and the joy associated therewith. Neither be cowardly, nor aloof, nor evade your rightful duties, but be courageous to contribute to the progress of mankind.

适当冒险。有准备地冒险。如果你避开了一场战斗，你必然会失去胜利喜悦。

9.控制自己的情绪

Learn to master your feelings. Let not anything other than sound reason dictate your decisions in the conduct of everyday life. Suppress inordinate impulses, and flee from temptations as soon as they appear. It is always difficult, and at times impossible, not to yield to feelings deep within the habitation of your soul, but you can learn to suppress their manifestations, and overcome them with common sense and sound judgment.

控制自己的情绪。每天都要认真地活，而不是理所当然。接受诱惑的考验。

10.冷静沉着

Be calm, and you will have smooth sail.Be calm in all things. Calmness is a state of quietude that enables you to concentrate and reassemble your divergent thoughts and meditate with profit. Comtemplation leads to ideas, and ideas lead to opportunties, and opportunities lead to success.

冷静沉着。冷静可以使你集中注意力，并全心投入你所从事的工作。冷静可以让你有好的想法，想法让你有机会，而机会就是成功的前提。
