让生活保持平衡不是一件容易的事。事实上，我们生活在一个到处是混乱和不平衡的世界里，我认为大部分人甚至不太明确自己生活中哪些是需要特别去注意的（更不用说是平衡它们了！）
当然，进入平衡的生活状态也是很容易的。有一类人每天过着相同的循环的生活，睡醒了，吃饭，工作，吃饭，睡觉……就是这些。如果你不去花一点时间思考你生活中发生变化的各个方面，那么你很容易就会失去平衡。
下面是给出的13条小建议。还记得上次你打算要努力提升这些方面是什么时候的事了？
- 你的花销（Your Spending）
花销太多了吗？大部分人都有这种感觉。仔细盘点你每个月的现金流出和你可以削减的开销。但是，也别太节省，例如那些生日礼物或者生活必需品不要放在削减之列。记住，钱是生不带来死不带去的！ - 你的时间（Your Time）
要做到这点总是不太容易，有时候我们会因为工作太忙而忘记了生活中更重要的事情。每个人的时间都是很有限的资源，因此一定要努力去平衡！ - 你的饮食习惯（ Your Diet）
不吃早餐，然后再饱餐一顿。这是大部分人的一个生活习惯，而且多部分人觉得这样挺好。但是丰富的早餐和适量的晚餐对我们来说才是最佳的平衡。 - 你的银行卡（Your Checkbook）
如果能稍微对你的个人财务做些理财，也许这会真正带来财务的增长。不信的话，你可以试试。 - 你的孩子（Your Children）
确认你孩子的生活状态是平衡的，他们学会给予和索取，学习和玩耍，看电视和阅读…… - 你的食物（Your Meals）
生活里面有太多的碳水化合物和不够健康的脂肪，或者是太多的脂肪和不够健康的碳水化合物。偶尔一点点的垃圾食品没什么大碍，但是你要总吃垃圾食品那就会出问题了。 - 你的净资产（Your Net Worth）
收支表：收入-负债 = 净资产。
公式两端总是相等的，但你应该时不时的调整规划。理论上讲，你能看见自己每年的净收入有所增加。 - 你的人脉关系（Your Relationships）
你的朋友远离你吗？你远离你的朋友吗？良好的友谊是平衡的，发人深省的，内容丰富，使人愉快而且会带给你挑战的。 - 你的车胎（The Tires on your Car）
太多的人忽略了这一点！这可以帮你在你的一生中节约上千公里汽油，并且可以让你更加安全。 - 你的目标（Your Goals）
目标不应该太难或者不切实际，但是这种挑战能够激励和锻炼你。 - 教育和行动（Education and Action ）
没有经过受训练的行动往往会导致重大的失误和危险。没有足够的行动，那么我们可能觉得学到的东西没有用武之地。所以，你或者去使用它，或者失去它，这就是教育。 - 积极和消极（Positives and Negatives ）
太多赞美之词会让我们止步不前，我们也需要一些负面的，例如一些建设性的分析和批评。如果你得不到这些信息，那就主动去询问别人对你工作的一些评论。 - 你的证券（Your Portfolio）
在你的股票和债券之间做一个平衡，然后根据你的年龄重新调整一个适合你长期生活的财务目标。
生活中到处都充满着平衡，你也一遍又一遍地注意到平衡带给你的好处，例如在你的投资和理财方面。虽然上面提到的是人人皆知的常识，但是如何做到平衡，就是你需要努力去做的事情了。

13 Things You Must Balance in Your Life
It is not easy to keep the balance of life. Actually, we are in a word that is filled with chaotic and unbalanced things. I think most of us even don’t know what should pay special attention (let alone balance them).
Of course, it is easy to access a balanced life. There’s one kind of people who live a circulated life everyday: wake up, eat work, eat, and sleep… just these. If you don’t spend some time to think about the changes in every aspect of your life, you will loose balance easily.

However, don’t be too economical, for example, birthday presents and necessary commodities of life should not be shortened. Remember money can’t be brought with when birth or die.
2. Your Time
It is not easy to balance your time. Sometimes we are so busy that we may forget some important things. Time is limited to everyone. So try to balance it.
3. Your Diet
Eat your fill when lunch without breakfast, which is a habit of most people and they feel good. But a rich breakfast and a suitable supper is the best balance.
4. Your Checkbook
Conduct your financial transactions may increase your finance. Try it if you don’t believe it.
5. Your Children

6. Your Meals
There is too much carbohydrate and fat or they are not very health. A little junk food once in a while is OK, but too much will bring you some problems.
7. Your Net Worth
Income and Expenditure Account: income－debts= net assets.
The left of the formula is equal to the right. In theory, you can see the increasing of the net assets.
8. Your Relationships
Does your friend leave you alone? Do you leave your friend alone? A good friendship is balanced, contemplating, rich pleasing and challenging.
9. The Tires on Your Car
Too much people neglected this point. It may help you save thousand miles running petrol, and make you safer.
10. Your Goals
Goals are not supposed to be too difficult or unpractical. But if they are, they may stipulate and practice you.
11. Education and Action
The actions are not trained always result in heavy mistakes or dangers. Lacking actions, we may think we lack a platform to show ourselves. So, use it, or loose it. That’s a lesion.
12. Positives and Negatives
Too much praises keep us from progresses. We also need some negative, such as constructive analyses or critics. If you don’t think you can get any, take the initiative to ask others for some comments on your work.
13. Your Portfolio
Make a balance between your stocks and bonds, then adjust a long-term financial living goal that is suitable to you according to your age.
Life is filled with balances. You will notice time and time again the advantages that it brings to you. For example, the above are common sense about investigation and financial planning that everybody knows, but how to balance them are your own things.
