已是2017年的下半年，大家对这下半年有木有什么计划啊？即便现在是宝妈但是生活的精彩与否都是自己赐予的。努力提升自己改变自己，Cino老师相信无论是制定什么样的计划都是以提高自己为目的，是提高自己，这九件事你做到了吗？

1. Question everything. 质疑周遭的一切。

The most uncomfortable thing one can do is to question everything that is taken for granted and seek answers. Try to see the other side of the norm.

最让人不适的事情就是质疑一切被人们习以为常的事情，并且去寻找答案，尝试去认识常规事物的另一面。

2. Be honest. 保持诚实。

Being the most honest you've ever been with someone in your life will be one of the most uncomfortable things you can do, but it could also be the most valuable.

在你生活中遇到的某人面前保持前所未及的诚实态度，这也将是你做过的最令人难受的事情之一。不过它也可能成为最有价值的一件事。

3. Wake up extremely early. 起床超级无敌早。

Ekin Öcalan loves to wake up before sunrise because it provides the perfect study-and-work environment. While everyone else sleeps, waking at 5 a.m. is the perfect way to begin the day in silence.

有网友非常喜欢在日出之前起床，这段时间往往是学习工作的最佳时段。在凌晨5点，别人都还在睡觉的时候你已经起床，让你的一天从完美的静谧中开始，这种感受非常美妙。

4. Watch your pennies. 看住自己的钢镚。

From auto repairs and life insurance to coffee and french fries, keep track of every penny you spend for several months.

从自动修理机到咖啡、薯条等基本生活物资，给你所花的每分钱记个账，坚持几个月。

（现在的人们更习惯用手机，银行卡支付，更要关注这一点了）

5. Track what you eat. 记下你吃过的食物。

Keeping track of all the food you eat and all the exercise you do in a day can be challenging, but this helped one web user see the harm she was doing to her body.

记录下你一整天里吃过的所有食物以及做过的锻炼活动，这会是一项挑战。可是这样做让一位网友了解到了她曾对自己的身体造成怎样的伤害。

6. Eat only nutritious food. 只吃有营养的食物。

Being a weird health nut and outperforming everyone else is so much more fun than blending in — and that's not just athletically. It's mentally as well.

做一个坚持健康饮食的傻瓜，比其他任何人都注重健康，这样做比跟其他人一起吃垃圾食品要好得多——这不仅对你的身体有益，对你的大脑也有益。

7. Practice public speaking. 练习在公众面前演讲。

It may be scary to think about, but you never know when you may be called upon to speak in public. Practice while daunting is the key to improving your communication skills.

这件事想想都让人害怕，可你永远都不知道什么时候会被叫到去台上讲话。多加练习——尽管你会很紧张——是提高你的口头表达能力的关键。你会吓得要死，直到你发现，其实身边每个人都和你的感受一样。

8. Accomplish an almost impossible goal. 完成一个几乎不可能达到的目标。

If you run a mile every day, the idea of running seven might terrify you. Set this as your one-year goal.

如果你每天可以跑一公里，努力每天跑七公里的目标可能会吓到你。可以将它设为你的年度目标。

9. Pick just one thing to master at a time. 每次只选择一件事情并完成它。

If you're constantly changing interests, you're never going to discover your own internal progress. So pick one thing and become progressively committed to mastering it. It doesn't matter what it is. Anything will do, as long as you do.

如果你想做的事总是在变幻，你永远不会察觉到自己内在的进步幅度。所以你应该选定一件事，下定决心，一步一步地完成它。这件事是什么不重要，任何事情都可以，只要你真正去做。
