Attitude is foundational to success. A generous person with a positive attitude will thrive. If you change your attitude, you change your perception, change your actions, and change your life. As every life changes, you change the world. Over at Lorelle On Wordpress she challenges bloggers to create a list of 30 things that can each be done in only 30 seconds. Imagine if millions or billions of people each did one of these-how would the world be different? In keeping with the theme of personal development, I have put together ways to improve yourself or others and create a better you in 30 seconds or less. Imagine if everyone did just a few of these at once? Here is my list.
态度是成功的基石。一个人如果既乐于分享，又态度积极，则其前途不可限量。如果你改变了你的态度，就等于改变了你对事物的理解，改变了你的行动，随之将改变你的生活。当每一个人的生命发生变化时，你就改变了世界。在Wordpress上写博客的Lorelle挑战众博客写作者们列出一个包含30件可以在 30秒钟内完成的事情清单。试想一下，如果成百万甚至上亿的人们仅仅做了其中的一件，世界将会有多么大的不一样！延续我的博客推动个人成长的主题，我集中了一些你可以在30秒或更少的时间内完成来完善自己或他人的事情。设想一下每个人立刻做了其中的一些事情会如何。清单如下：
1. Change your tone of voice.For 30 seconds, speak softer, calmer, or just more pleasantly. You might be surprised at the results. Did you know, for example, that a softer voice giving clear instructions commands more authority with children than a yell? If frustrated in a business dealing, try a more peaceful tone, even if only for 30 seconds, and see if it leads to a quicker resolution.
改变你的语气。只用30秒，使用更柔和、更冷静的语气，或是任何一种听上去更舒服的说话方式。你也许会为所发生的一切感到惊讶。比如，你是否了解，在孩子们的心目中，用柔和的声调给出清楚的指示比大吼大叫更能让你获得威严。如果在一次商业交易中出师不利，可以尝试在接下来的30秒内使用更平和的语调，然后观察这能否促使事情更快地得到解决。
