 Do you think or say, “That’s just the way I am.  I can’t help it.  Don’t expect me to change”? 你是不是认为或者说，“这是我自己的方式，我无法改变，别指望我改变。”

If your co-workers sat in a conference room and made a list of your greatest weaknesses, what would be on the list? 如果你的同事坐在会议室，在一个清单上写出你最大的缺点，他们会在上面写什么？

As you consider the things they would discuss, how many of those things could you improve tomorrow, if you were intentional? 当你考虑他们讨论的事时，你明天会有意识的去改变多少这些事？

If your spouse or significant other were to make a list of the things you do that bug him or her, what would be put on the list? 如果你的伴侣或者其他重要的人列出一些重要的事让你去做，他们会列出什么样的事？

As you think of the most likely answers, how hard would it be to stop doing those things, if you really tried? 当你你认为这是最可能的答案时,如果你真的试过了，会有多难停止做这些事情？

What many people don’t realize is that their weaknesses are holding them back from enjoying more meaningful relationships, advancing their careers, improving their self-images and confidence, and living happier lives. 许多人没有意识到的是,他们的弱点是阻碍他们享受更多的有意义的人际关系，发展他们事业，提高他们的自我形象和信心和快乐的生活的因素。

I am a firm believer that when you do the little things that you know you should do, without excuses, you feel better about yourself and the person you are becoming. 我坚信当我做一些我知道的自己应该做的事时，没有任何借口，你会感觉你成为那个很好的人。

When you blow them off or discount them, your subconscious knows the truth. 当你打击他们时,你的潜意识已经知道真相。

When you repeatedly fail to do the things you know you should do, it’s impossible to feel good about yourself. 当你反复做不到你知道你应该做的事时,你不可能感觉自己良好。

The fact is that 95% of the weaknesses I see holding people back are things they could change today, by simply being intentional. 事实是,他们今天就可以改变其中95%的阻碍他们的缺点，只需要通过简单的潜意识。

Here are my three challenges to you 以下是我要向你发起的三项挑战

1.  Change Your Attitude. 1.改变你的态度。

Never again allow yourself to think or believe that weaknesses are irrelevant.  You can change weaknesses into strengths if you are intentional. 再也不让自己认为或相信的弱点是无关紧要的。你可以把自己弱点变成强项。

Michael Jordan said, “My attitude is that if you push me towards something that you think is a weakness, then I will turn that perceived weakness into a strength.” 迈克尔·乔丹说，“我的态度是,如果你碰我的东西,你认为是一个弱点，然后我将感知到的弱点变成了一种力量。”

2.  Acknowledge your weaknesses. 2.承认你的弱点。

The first step towards improving your weaknesses is to openly acknowledge them. 改变你弱点的第一步就是公开的承认它们。

3. Be Intentional. 3.有意的。

Choose one weakness and start today to work on it at home, at work, and in your social circles. 选择一个弱点,从今天就开始在家里工作,在工作中,你的社交圈子里去克服它。

For most people, it’s not the lack of focus on their strengths that holds them back; it’s the lack of focus on their weaknesses! 对大多数人来说，并不是缺乏专注于他们的强项，而是缺乏关注他们的弱点。
