The best ways to get lucky are to stay positive and visualize success in your life. If you’d like to know how to be luckier, check out these 10 ways to get lucky in life.

獲得好運(yùn)的最好辦法莫過(guò)于保持積極的心態(tài)，設(shè)想人生的成功。如果你想知道怎么能變得更幸運(yùn)，就看看下面這十個(gè)小貼士吧。

1. Be Aware of (and Act on) Opportunities

認(rèn)準(zhǔn)(并把握住)機(jī)會(huì)

“I’m a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more I have of it.” – Thomas Jefferson

“我很相信運(yùn)氣，我發(fā)現(xiàn)我越是努力，就越發(fā)幸運(yùn)。”——托馬斯·杰斐遜

How much luck do you think you can look forward to if you stay locked up in your house like a hermit? Probably not much. If you don’t get out there and take action, you’ll find yourself in a sad pit of doom that is devoid of opportunity. Wanna be lucky? Life isn’t a charity, so get to work.

天天像隱士一樣呆在家里，你覺(jué)得能有多少好運(yùn)氣?肯定不會(huì)多。如果不出去看看，采取行動(dòng)，你會(huì)始終現(xiàn)在缺乏機(jī)遇的怪圈里。想要更幸運(yùn)?生活不是福利院，出去工作吧。

2. Visualize Success

想象成功

“Luck is a matter of Pparation meeting opportunity.” – Lucius Annaeus Seneca

“幸運(yùn)就是為機(jī)會(huì)做準(zhǔn)備的過(guò)程。”—— 羅馬哲學(xué)家賽尼加

How well do you think you will perform on a date, job interview, or sporting event if your thoughts are filled with reasons you will fail? The odds would not be in your favor. The best athletes see themselves winning a game long before it starts. The best stage actors imagine an audience exploding with laughter and applause before they set foot on stage. If you’re going to a job interview, imagine how thoughtful your responses will be during your drive. If you’re Pparing for a date, imagine how classy/handsome/sexy/funny the other person will find you while you get dressed. You must first see success happen before you can make it happen.

如果腦海中填滿了失敗的想法，你覺(jué)得自己在約會(huì)、面試或運(yùn)動(dòng)賽事上的勝算還能有多大?事情也不會(huì)如你所愿。最好的運(yùn)動(dòng)員在比賽開(kāi)始之前就能預(yù)見(jiàn)贏得比賽;最好的舞臺(tái)演員在登場(chǎng)之前就會(huì)想象觀眾雷鳴般的笑聲和掌聲;如果你要去參加面試，路上想象一下你的回答會(huì)很周到;如果要準(zhǔn)備約會(huì)，打扮的時(shí)候想象一下另一半會(huì)覺(jué)得你是多么的古典/帥氣/性感/可愛(ài)。你必須在事情發(fā)生之前就去預(yù)見(jiàn)成功。

3. Focus on the Positive

保持積極的心態(tài)

“The best luck of all is the luck you make for yourself.” – Douglas MacArthur

“最好的運(yùn)氣就是自己創(chuàng)造的。”——道格拉斯·麥克阿瑟

An unfortunate thing that happened to me: Last week, my car engine died on the road going into my apartment complex. My vehicle didn’t come to a slow stop, but rather a dead halt. Let’s just say the bill from the mechanic wasn’t Ptty, so I wasn’t very happy about this. But then it hit me: I was so lucky! My drive home that night included a 30-minute voyage on a crowded interstate. Now imagine how much worse my situation would have been if my car suddenly quit with a vehicle traveling 70 M.P.H. right behind me. I’m happy that I was lucky enough for my car to quit in the safety of my own parking lot, because had it gone out on the interstate, it’s very possible I wouldn’t be here to type this. Look for the good in all things.

上周發(fā)生了一件不好的事：回家的路上車(chē)子的發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)壞了。我的車(chē)子不是慢慢停下來(lái)而是突然熄火。維修費(fèi)當(dāng)然不少，這也讓我非常的不爽。但我突然想到：我是多么幸運(yùn)!那天晚上回家還需要在鬧市區(qū)開(kāi)30分鐘�，F(xiàn)在想象一下如果我的車(chē)突然停下來(lái)后面正是一輛70碼時(shí)速奔馳的車(chē)，這個(gè)后果可想而知了吧。我真幸運(yùn)車(chē)子是在自己的停車(chē)位拋錨，而不是鬧市區(qū)，否則也許我就沒(méi)命來(lái)告訴你們這些了。從積極面看待事情吧。

4. Listen to Your Gut

相信自己的直覺(jué)

“Humor has bailed me out of more tight situations than I can think of. If you go with your instincts and keep your humor, creativity follows. With luck, success comes, too.” – Jimmy Buffett

“幽默讓我在很多緊張的情況都變得沒(méi)那么慌張。如果你跟隨自己的直覺(jué)，保持你的幽默，創(chuàng)造力也就如約而至。有了運(yùn)氣，成功也就來(lái)了。”——吉米·巴菲特

Look, we all make the occasional bad decision, so it’s in your best interest to be decisive. Trust your gut instinct and allow your intuition to guide you. Of course, you could agonize over every single decision in your life, but there is no guarantee that all that extra deliberation will lead to an increased likelihood of success (odds are it’ll just result in wasted time and opportunity).

我們都做過(guò)錯(cuò)誤的決定，所以要讓自己決斷起來(lái)。相信你的直覺(jué)，讓它指引著你。當(dāng)然，你需要仔細(xì)衡量人生中的每一個(gè)決定，但也不能確保你的每一個(gè)深思熟慮都能加大成功的機(jī)會(huì)(也有可能只是浪費(fèi)時(shí)間和機(jī)會(huì)罷了)。

5. Brush Your Shoulders Off

減輕負(fù)擔(dān)

“Most of us regard good luck as our right, and bad luck as a betrayal of that right.” – William Feather

“大部分人都把好運(yùn)看成是我們的權(quán)利，把壞運(yùn)氣視為對(duì)這種權(quán)利的背叛。”——威廉·斐勒

No, you can’t have it all. Yes, you will fail sometimes. No, life isn’t fair. Yes, you have to deal with it.

不，你不可能擁有所有的好運(yùn)氣;是的，有時(shí)候你也會(huì)失敗;不，生活其實(shí)并不公平;是的，你得自己學(xué)著接受。

6. Try Again from Another Angle

從別的角度看待問(wèn)題

“Remember that sometimes not getting what you want is a wonderful stroke of luck.”

“記住如果有時(shí)候沒(méi)有得到你想要的，其實(shí)這是在攢運(yùn)氣呢。”

Just because your plan failed doesn’t necessarily mean it was a bad idea — it could just be your execution or that method of delivery needs to be tweaked. The more you learn and grow, the more “lucky” and successful you will be.

計(jì)劃失敗并不能說(shuō)明你的想法是錯(cuò)誤的——也許只是在執(zhí)行過(guò)程中出了問(wèn)題，或是方法需要改進(jìn)。學(xué)習(xí)和成長(zhǎng)的越多，你就會(huì)越幸運(yùn)越成功。

7. Reduce Stress and Negative Thinking

減輕壓力和消極想法

“Here’s the thing about luck…you don’t know if it’s good or bad until you have some perspective.” – Alice Hoffman

“這里有一個(gè)關(guān)于運(yùn)氣的東西......你不知道到底是好還是壞，直到你有一些觀點(diǎn)。”——愛(ài)麗絲·霍夫曼

Remember that time agonizing over things beyond your control made all of your problems go away? Didn’t think so. Most of us are walking, talking balls of stress. If you’re so stressed out that you can’t think straight, open doors and opportunities will blow past you without the slightest recollection. The next time you’re feeling down, ask yourself these 10 questions that prove you’re doing better than you think (go ahead and bookmark that so you can repeat this exercise as needed!).

還記得一切盡在掌控?zé)�惱全部沒(méi)有的日子么?恐怕沒(méi)有。我們都在壓力下生活著。如果壓力過(guò)大，你就無(wú)法簡(jiǎn)單思考，開(kāi)啟大門(mén)，機(jī)遇也會(huì)和你擦肩而過(guò)。下次感到低落的時(shí)候，問(wèn)自己十個(gè)能證明自己做的比想象中還要好的問(wèn)題吧(試試，記下來(lái)這些問(wèn)題，以后可以經(jīng)常拿出來(lái)練習(xí)哦)。

8. Live in the Now

活在當(dāng)下

“When it comes to luck, you make your own.” – Bruce Springsteen

“說(shuō)到運(yùn)氣，你需要自己去創(chuàng)造。”——布魯斯·斯普林斯汀

It is easy to get so caught up in our own little worlds that we become oblivious to the other people, places, and things around us. Developing an ability to live in the Psent moment will help you notice opportunities that would otherwise breeze past without recollection.

小小世界被人追趕上太正常不過(guò)，我們也會(huì)遺忘其他人、地方以及一些事情。培養(yǎng)自己活在當(dāng)下的能力能幫助你注意到機(jī)會(huì)，因?yàn)檎f(shuō)不準(zhǔn)什么時(shí)候就稍縱即逝了。

9. Be Curious about Everything

對(duì)一切充滿好奇

“Ability is of little account without opportunity.” – Napoleon Bonaparte

“沒(méi)有機(jī)會(huì)，能力將毫無(wú)用處。”——拿破侖·波拿巴

Developing curiosity will help you open doors that were Pviously closed. How is that? Because being curious will give you a fresh perspective on things, arming you with an ability to identify solutions to problems that others might miss. The more creative and innovative you are, the more luck you can create for yourself.

培養(yǎng)好奇心能幫你打開(kāi)原本緊閉著的大門(mén)。為什么呢?保持好奇心能讓你用新的視角看待問(wèn)題，給你一種解決難題的能力，而其他人也許就這么錯(cuò)過(guò)了。你越有創(chuàng)造力，就能為自己帶來(lái)越多的運(yùn)氣。

10. Keep on Hustling

堅(jiān)持努力

“Luck is a spanidend of sweat. The more you sweat, the luckier you get.” – Ray Kroc

“運(yùn)氣就是汗水換來(lái)的。流得汗越多，你就越幸運(yùn)。”——雷·克羅克

You don’t lose until you quit, so don’t quit.

只要不放棄就不算失敗，所以不要放棄。
