成功人士不会说的15句话

    11.“我从不读书。”

    《富翁的习惯》（Rich Habits）作者汤姆•科利发现，富人中读书（和听有声读物）的比例要比穷人高得多：“63%的富人家庭每个月都让孩子阅读两本及以上非小说图书，而穷人家庭的比例只有3%。”此外，“63%的富人会在上下班途中听有声图书，而穷人的比例只有5%。”阅读非小说（以及小说）书籍有助于减轻压力、提高创造力和增强记忆力。

    12.“我水平不够。”

    成功的一个必备要素是对自我价值的高度肯定。做自己是在事业和个人生活上取得成功的必要素质。追随你真正的兴趣。如果不需要挣钱，你会去干什么？

    13.（一遍又一遍地说）“没关系。”

    成功人士知道何时走开，停止从其他人身上找借口。如果存在瓶颈或者被什么事（或什么人）所牵绊，无法准时完成项目，那么就去增强你自己的业务，或者将目标向前推进，然后，趁此机会为自己设定界线，下定决心控制自己的参与程度。

    14.“竞争对手没有的我们也不需要。”

    复制竞争对手是多数公司走上不归路的一大原因。而真正的创新恰恰相反：找出竞争者所没有的，然后填补行业的空缺。

    15.“傻瓜才需要休假。”

    真正的成功应当是全面的，你会和朋友及家人共度假期和周末，工作日也会抽出几小时来休息放松。虽然每个人的工作量有时候会不同，但是度假可以让你更好地迎接工作。

    有时候，想达到目标，最好和最简单的方法就是以他人为榜样。

    现在回想一下，在平时谈话和思考中，你犯过以上哪些错误？(财富中文网)

11. “I never read books.”

    Tom Corley of Rich Habits found that rich people read (and listen to) books at a much higher rate than poor people: “63 percent of wealthy parents make their children read two or more non-fiction books a month vs. 3 percent of poor.” Also, “63 percent of wealthy listen to audio books during commute to work vs. 5 percent of poor people.” Reading non-fiction (as well as fiction) can help reduce stress, enhance creativity and boost your memory.

    12. “I’m not good enough.”

    Part of being successful is having a high sense of self-worth. Being yourself is one trait that promises success in business and your personal life. Follow your true interests. What you would do in your life if you didn’t need money?

    13. “It’s OK.” (over and over)

    Successful people know when to walk away and stop taking excuses from others. If there is a bottleneck and something (or someone) is preventing you from completing a project on time, build up your business, or move you forward in your goals, then it’s time to set boundaries and decide to limit your involvement.

    14. “If our competitors don’t have it, then we don’t need it.”

    Copying competitors is one of the many possible deaths for most companies. True innovation comes from the flip side: figuring out what competitors aren’t doing and fill that niche to answer a need in the industry.

    15. “Time off is for suckers.”

    True success should be seen as a well-rounded approach, one with vacations, weekends with friends and family and hours of downtime on the weekdays. While workload varies for everyone at times, taking vacation can make you better at your job.

    Sometimes to get to where you want to be, the best and easiest thing to do is to simply follow the examples that others set for you.

    What phrases are you going to eliminate from your day-to-day conversations and thinking?
