你价值几何? 认清自己的真正价值

1. Quality of Interpersonal Interactions

人际交往的质量

We are defined by how we treat other people. Each interaction with another individual reflects a personal belief system and code of morality. How do you treat strangers? How do you treat the people closest to you? These observations give great insight on a person’s character.

别人是通过我们如何对待他人来了解我们的。和他人的每一次交互，都反映了个人的信仰体系和道德守则。你如何对待陌生人？你如何对待最亲近的人？通过这些可以深入了解一个人的个性。

A high-quality person treats all people with respect, no matter the relationship. A stranger deserves an equal amount of respect as a longtime friend. Even if a person has wronged a high-value individual, the wrongdoer is still treated with respect. High-value people understand that disrespecting others is the equivalent of disrespecting the self.

高素质的人尊重所有的人，无论他们之间的关系如何。陌生人也应该像老友那样得到平等的尊重。即使有人不公正地对待高价值的人，高价值的人也仍然尊重他。高价值的人明白，不尊重别人，就等于不尊重自我。

2. Quality of Relationship to the Self

自我关系的质量

Think about your interactions with yourself; the voice in your head. How reassuring is it? How positive? How cruel? A high-value person has an honest and fair relationship with himself.

想一想和自己之间的交互；想一想你头脑中的声音。有多么让人欣慰？有多么积极？有多么残忍？

He is realistic about his flaws, but confident in his ability to learn, grow, and change for the better. A high-value person talks to himself as a friend and as a coach; the relationship is solid and aimed at progression.

高价值的人和自己之间的关系是诚实和平等的关系。他知道自己的缺点，但是对自己学习、成长、向更好方向改变的能力非常自信。高价值的人自言自语时把自己看成朋友，也看成教练；这种关系是稳固的，并且能够发展。

3. Consistent Demonstration of Courage

一直很有勇气

A high-value person is brave. Bravery does not mean that he feels no fear; instead, he is attuned to the feeling of fear, yet proceeds in the right direction anyway. A high-quality person is courageous enough to express his personal gifts and opinions. He does not act with the purpose of gaining popularity: he acts because he is very in touch with his core belief system. Actions are deliberate and aligned with his values, and courage is the refusal to be defined by convention at the cost of authenticity.

高价值的人是勇敢的。勇敢并不是说他什么也不害怕，实际上，他已适应了恐惧的感觉，但还是朝着正确的方向前进。高素质的人足够勇敢，能够展示自己的天赋，表达自己的观点。他这样做并不是为了受大家欢迎：他这样做是因为能接触到他的核心信仰体系。他的行为从容不迫，符合他的价值观，勇气是拒绝以真实性的代价来接受惯例的束缚。

4. Strength of Will and Moral Fiber

意志的力量和道德素质

A high-value person is willful, powerful, and moral. There is a clear difference between right and wrong in his book, and these values are non-negotiable. What this type of individual sees as worth pursuing is given full attention and priority. Human willpower is capable of accomplishing astounding feats. Strength of will is defined as a committed persistence to excellence.

高价值的人坚持己见、有影响力、有道德感。在他看来，对和错有明显的区别，这些价值是不能协商的。他们认为是值得追求的东西就会充分关注并优先考虑。人类的意志力能够实现惊人的壮举。意志的力量被认为是坚持不懈就能达到优秀。

5. Contribution

贡献

A high-value person realizes that he was created to give, and understands that personal wealth is reflected in contribution. His contributions are not made with an ostentatious purpose. Contribution does not have to be at a large scale: giving is an act of joy in itself.

高价值的人意识到他生来就是为了给予，他认为个人的价值体现在贡献中。他不是为了浮夸而去做贡献。贡献也不一定要大：给予本身就是一种愉悦的行为。

By giving to others, the high-value individual feels full inside. This person strategically gives his unique gifts often, but not so that he neglects himself.

通过给予，高价值的人内心感到了充实。他往往适当地给予别人独特的礼物，但是这样做，他却并没有忽略自己。

6. Ability to Empathize and Forgive

同情和原谅的能力

A high-quality person is capable of relating to those that have wronged him. He is capable of forgiving both outsiders, and himself. Kindness and benefit of doubt go a long way, and holding resentment and bitterness does not allow one to live to his fully capacity. Forgiveness is emancipation from chains of resentment that keep one fettered to the past.

高素质的人能和不公正对待他的人相处。他能够原谅局外人和他自己。善良和假定对方无辜是很有帮助的，而怀有怨恨和痛苦则不能让他发挥出自己的全部能力。宽恕让人从怨恨中解脱出来，而怨恨则让人束缚在过去中。

7. Effective Prioritizing

有效排列事物的优先次序

This world is complicated. We are pulled in multiple directions every day, willingly, or not. Smart people have a strict list of priorities, with interpersonal relationships at the top. There is a difference between having a priority list and living one’s life according to the list.

世界是错综复杂的。无论我们愿不愿意， 我们每天都会受到到多种方向力量的影响。聪明的人有精确的事情优先级列表，顶端是人际关系。有优先级列表和按照优先级列表生活是有区别的。

High-value people are excellent time, emotion, and energy managers who carefully allot their personal resources according to their priority list. If a time-consuming objective of low value arises, it is eliminated. The majority of time, emotional, and energy resources are given to nurture and sustain important relationships. The high-value person understands that quality relationships with people are all uniquely temporary and thus invaluable.

高价值的人能很好地管理时间、情感和能量，能根据优先级列表仔细分配个人资源。耗时而价值低的事情就会从中去掉。大部分的时间、情感上和能量上的资源用来培养并维持重要的人际关系。高价值的人知道和人之间关系的好坏都是暂时性的，因而是无价的。

8. Flexibility and Openness to Change

灵活并对改变持开明态度

A high-value individual practices the art of letting go when control cannot be maintained. He does not get angry when things don’t go his way, or when uncontrollable events occur. Traffic, weather, and other people are not controllable. However, emotional mastery is.

高价值的人当遇到不能控制的情况时，就会放手。当事情不按他想的方式发展或当无法控制的事情发生时，他并不生气。交通、天气和其他人都是不可控制的。但情绪是可以控制的。

So, how much are you worth?

所以，你的价值是多少呢？
