Have you ever experienced that time has passed so fast? Before you notice it, one day or even one week has passed. In another circumstances, you may feel that you have just made your new year’s resolution, but suddenly you reach another new year. Time flies.
你是否也有过时光飞逝的感觉?不经意间,一天或者一周就这样过去了。有时候,你觉得离你写下新年计划才没过多久,就又迎来了下一个新年。岁月如梭啊!

Thus, it is very important for you to use your days wisely. Don’t let even one day passes without fully utilizing it. And one way to utilize your days is by learning from your daily experience.
因此,好好利用每一天是非常重要的,任何一天都不能浪费。要想利用好每一天,那就要向每一天的生活学习。

If you really try to learn from your days, you will have 365 to 366 opportunities to learn each year. And that’s quite a lot of opportunities! I bet you will be a very different person after only one year. How do you learn from your daily experience?
如果你每天都能学到点什么的话,一年就有365到366次学习的机会,这可是大把的机会啊!如果你这么做的话,一年后的你肯定是焕然一新了。那么如何向每一天的生活学习呢?

Be eager
渴望无限

This is the first step. Be eager to learn. Being eager will open your eyes to every situation in your life from which you can learn something. If you are not eager, those opportunities will just pass. Being eager make your mind alert of every opportunities that lay around.
这是第一步。渴望学习,渴望对生活中的一切都睁大眼睛学习。如果你没有这种渴望的话,那么很多学习的机会就会溜走。渴望学习让你对身边的每一个机会都更加敏感。

Have an open mind
要有开放的视野

To make the most of those opportunities, you need to have an open mind. Try to see from different perspectives. Try to see from other people’s worldview. Try to put those things in context. In this point, you can ask questions: In what area do I need to change? What have other people done better than me? What can I learn from it? And so on.
要想最大程度地利用好每一天的生活经验就要有一个开放的视野。尝试从不同的角度、从别人的角度看问题。尝试把事情放在大局中来考虑。你可以问问自己这些问题:在哪些方面我需要做出改变?在哪些方面别人做得比我好?我可以从中学习到什么?等等。

Write what you learn
把学到的东西写下来

You need to write what you learn. It’s important. First of all, writing forces you to think about it more thoroughly. You cannot write something which is still vague. Secondly, it can remind you about those lessons anytime in the future. It’s amazing to see how fast people forget. Writing your lessons ensure you that you will not lose them.
把你学到的东西写下来这一点很重要。首先,写下来就要求你更加全面地了解,你不可能把模棱两可的东西给写下来。另外,写下来的东西可以在以后任何时候给你做个提醒。人都是健忘的,把你学到的东西写下来可以让你不把这些东西忘掉。

Be willing to change
乐于改变

This is the most difficult part of all. Now that you have gotten the lessons you learn, you need to absorb them to your life. To do so, you need to change. It can be changing your habits, perspectives, or attitudes. Whatever it is, it’s not easy because people tend to stay where they are. Changing means going out of your comfort zone, and people don’t like it. Yet, not changing simply means not growing. If you are to grow, you need to change, even if it means that you must go out of your comfort zone.
改变是最难的部分。既然你已经学到了一些东西,你就要把它们运用到生活中去。要想这么做,就必须改变。你可能需要改变习惯、看法或观点,无论要改变的是什么,对我们来说都不容易,因为我们总喜欢待在原处。改变意味着我们要走出自己的舒适区,这恰恰是人们不喜欢做的事。但是,不改变就不会进步。如果你想要进步,就必须要改变,即使付出的代价是要走出自己的舒适区。
