1. Being late on appointments
1、約會(huì)遲到
Stop wasting time of other people. Not only are you giving a bad image out of yourself, you are also showing that you ignore the other person’s timetables completely.
不要浪費(fèi)別人的時(shí)間。這樣不光破壞自己的形象，也讓人感覺(jué)你完全無(wú)視他的時(shí)間安排。

2. Staying quiet when you should ask
2、該問(wèn)時(shí)保持沉默

工作遇到問(wèn)題，做不下去了，就該去請(qǐng)教別人！不懂就問(wèn)，這不傻。相反，有問(wèn)題不問(wèn)的人才傻。
3. Starting a task but not finishing
3、虎頭蛇尾
Too many people start a task and never finish it. The task may get postponed sometimes because of the reasons that are not dependent of you. But in majority times this is not the case and it is your responsibility to finish the task.
工作虎頭蛇尾的人太多。雖然有時(shí)候造成工作拖延的原因不在于你自己，但大多數(shù)時(shí)候不是這么回事，完成工作的責(zé)任在你身上。
Make a plan on how to tackle the task: Break it into smaller pieces and execute your plan on a daily basis. Eventually you realize that the task is done and you feel very good about yourself!
做個(gè)工作計(jì)劃：把工作分成一個(gè)個(gè)小部分，每天都依照計(jì)劃干活。最后工作完成了，你也會(huì)自我感覺(jué)良好。

Also, you can take a quick 15-20 minute nap to refresh yourself. Powernap is a great way to restart your day.
你也可以小睡15-20分鐘，消除疲勞。打個(gè)小盹是讓一天重新開(kāi)始的好辦法。
5. Waiting others to take action
5、等別人來(lái)做
Sometimes the only way to get something done is to do it yourself. If you are waiting others to take action on your behalf, you will most probably get disappointed because nothing gets done.
有時(shí)候，完成工作的唯一途徑就是靠自己。等別人施以援手，你很可能會(huì)失望，因?yàn)槭裁炊甲霾煌辍?/p>
Take initiative, put your ideas into action and enjoy the fruits of your labor.

6. Failing to admit mistakes and learning from them
6、不肯承認(rèn)錯(cuò)誤，不從中吸取教訓(xùn)
Everybody makes mistakes. However, some people learn from their mistakes, while other people complain and never see any positive sides in those situations.
每個(gè)人都會(huì)犯錯(cuò)。有些人能從中吸取教訓(xùn)，但另一些人則會(huì)抱怨，看不到錯(cuò)誤給他們帶來(lái)的積極影響。

錯(cuò)誤是你工作的反饋，要懂得從中學(xué)到技巧，進(jìn)一步改善工作。
7. Fixing the symptom instead of the root cause
7、治標(biāo)不治本
When you have a flat tire on your bicycle, you have two options to handle the situation. You can either pump air to the tire so that you can ride your bike for a while – until the tire is flat again. On the other hand, you can change the tire to an intact one once – and stop wasting time on pumping air to a flat one on a recurring basis.
自行車(chē)胎漏氣了，你有兩個(gè)選擇。你可以給輪胎打氣，再騎一段時(shí)間，直到車(chē)胎再次癟掉。或者你可以換一個(gè)好胎，不用浪費(fèi)時(shí)間一次次打氣。
Strive for fixing the root cause instead of just fixing the symptom. It may take more time, but fixing the symptoms will most likely to take even more time.
要治本，不要光治標(biāo)。治本可能要花多一點(diǎn)時(shí)間，但是光治標(biāo)花的時(shí)間很可能比治本還長(zhǎng)。
Conclusion 結(jié)論
There are lots of habits on our daily lives that could be improved or replaced with a better one.
日常生活中有很多可改進(jìn)或者可改正的習(xí)慣。

列表中有個(gè)地方要重點(diǎn)注意，就是第7個(gè)習(xí)慣。當(dāng)你感覺(jué)身體狀態(tài)良好，改正生活其他習(xí)慣就容易多了。
Just take one unproductive habit, crush it and then move on to the next one。
就盯著一個(gè)壞習(xí)慣，改正它，接著目標(biāo)瞄準(zhǔn)下一個(gè)壞習(xí)慣。
