在人前表现得进退有度，克制有礼其实并不难，难的是在私下我们还能保持这番修养。慎独，才是一个人最高级的境界。
成功人士基本能做到慎独和自律，因为他们往往只痴迷于个人成长。想要成长和学习新事物是人类应有的天性，放弃了对成长的渴望，就算不上是真正成功的人。
Success means different things to different people. Whatever it means to you, take note of these habits of all successful people. They apply to any area, and any meaning of success.
成功对不同的人意味着不同的事情。不管它对你意味着什么，记住，所有成功人士都具有这几个习惯。它们适用于任何领域，任何意义上的成功。
1.They Have Great Self Discipline
1.他们拥有绝对的自律
Discipline is a strong trait of all successful people, and it is one that can be developed with consistent use. Anyone that works from home or unsupervised knows the importance of self discipline – when you're alone, will you choose to go through social media, watch cat videos on YouTube, or do something that will be beneficial for your future?
自律是所有成功人士的一个重要特征，它是可以通过练习来培养的。任何在家或在无人监督的情况下工作的人都知道自律的重要性——当你独自一人的时候，你会选择刷社交媒体呢，还是在YouTube上观看小猫视频，或者做一些对你未来有益的事情？
It is much easier to have discipline if you have clear goals and a meaningful purpose, something that is much more important than meaningless distractions.
如果你有明确而有意义的目标，那自律就变得容易多了，这比毫无意义的消遣更加重要。
2. They Are Obsessed With Self Development
2.他们痴迷于自我成长
You can’t really claim to be successful if you have given up working on yourself. This doesn’t mean you are never satisfied, just that you know it is human nature to want to grow and learn new things.
如果你放弃了提升自己，你就不能真正地说自己是成功的。这并不意味着不知足，而是你应该知道，想要成长和学习新事物是人类应有的天性。
Be open to learn new things and develop your mind, through mentors, audio books and reading. The more you learn, the more you will earn financially and spiritually.
敞开心扉，通过导师、有声读物和阅读，学习新东西，拓展你的思维。你学得越多，在经济上和精神上就能赚得越多。
3.They Read A LOT!
3.大量阅读。
Reading is a common pastime of many highly successful people. The majority these days can’t sit alone for 2 minutes without becoming “bored”, picking up their phone to go on social media, probably to post about how bored they are.
阅读是许多成功人士的消遣。当今时代，大多数人坐下来两分钟就会感到“无聊”，他们拿起手机，打开社交媒体，好像是要发一下自己有多无聊。
Successful people however are almost always happy to be alone, to be alone in quiet, to have the opportunity to read or listen to something that will benefit their mind, and their future.
然而，成功的人几乎总是乐于独处，独处于安静之中，有机会阅读或聆听一些有益于他们思想和未来的东西。
If you’re not a reader, try audio books. You can play them in your car, in the gym work， while you shower, and use time that might normally be wasted to gain new skills, new strengths.
如果你不爱读书，可以试试有声读物。你可以在车里或者在健身房里播放，也可以边洗澡边听，利用通常被浪费的时间来获得新的技能，增加自己新的优势。
4.They Manage Their Time Well.
4.学会管理时间。
Time management is essential to success. Unsuccessful people usually get stressed and overwhelmed when there are too many tasks on their to-do list.
时间管理对成功至关重要。不成功的人，在他们的任务清单上有太多的任务时，他们通常会感到压力，并且不知所措。
Successful people are rarely fazed, they prioritize the big-payoff and most rewarding tasks first, and leave the insignificant ones to last, knowing it matters most to do the most valuable tasks first. Successful people plan in advance, days, weeks, months ahead, knowing clearly what needs to be done to complete their jobs and reach their goals.
成功的人很少会出现这种情况，他们把回报最大的任务放在首位，把最不重要的任务放在最后，知道孰轻孰重。成功的人都是提前几天、几周、几个月制定计划，他们清楚地知道，自己想要完成工作和实现目标需要做什么。
