很多人承认，他们过着“绝望的生活”，他们从事着自己不喜欢的工作，挣的薪水也远低于他们的能力所值，他们与不喜欢的人勉强维持着关系，生活没有满足感。大多数人感到被所发生的事情淹没，感到对所发生的事情无能为力，无法改善自己的生活，于是他们的生活一成不变：起床，上班，回家，吃饭，看几小时电视，然后睡觉。这是阻碍人们改变的一个原因－“无助”；另一个原因是“易于满足”，人们总有这样或那样的习惯，开始一项活动后，很快就会得到满足，于是，人们不愿意改变他们的生活环境，他们没有理由地害怕变化，即使他们对当前的一切并不是很满意。无助加上易于满足，让人们感到无望和无力改变，无法让生活有真正的改观。这种精神状态下的人们努力寻找安全感，却不寻找机遇。
解决之道就是积极的学习。随着知识和技能的增加，你就会愿意采取行动，作出改变。学的东西越多，就越有勇气去尝试，也就越自信。永远都不要给自己找借口！
成功是内在的，是一种心理状态。它产生于你的内心，反映在你的外部世界中。如果你朝着好的方向转变你的思维，你就会变成一个更好的人。写下你的目标，按部就班地去实现，你就完全驾驭了你的生活！

master your life
Many people admit that they are living “a miserable life”, that they are doing something they are not desired to do and what they earn is far lower than what their capabilities are worth. They are unwilling to keep the relationship with the people they don’t like, anyway, they feel nothing satified in their lives. Most people think they are swallowed by the things which are going to happen, feel helpless to them and have no power to improve them. So the life goes everyday the same: get up, go to work, come back, have dinner, watch tv and at last go to bed. “Helpless”, this is one of the reason stopping people from changing,; the other one is “easy to satisfy. People always have this or that habit, once they start a kind of activity, they are soon t o be satisfied. Then they are reluctant to change their prsent living environment. What is more, they are afraid of change without any reason ,even though they are not satisfied with the present things. Helpless, together with easy to satisfy, makes people feel hopeless and powerless to improve their lives. Under such mental situation, people are striving to seek for a sense of safety, but not the opportunity.
