Discover The 90/10 Principle By Stephen Covey

Discover the 90/10 Principle By Stephen Covey (English and Chinese Version)

Discover the 90/10 Principle.
發現了 90/10 的定律。

It will change your life (at least the way you react to situations).
它將改變你的一生（最低限度，它將改變你對不同情況的反應）。

What is this principle? 10% of life is made up of what happens to you. 90% of life is decided by how you react.
90/10 的定律是什麼？生命的 10% 是由你的際遇所組成，餘下的 90% 則由你的反應而決定。

What does this mean? We really have no control over 10% of what happens to us. We cannot stop the car from breaking down. The plane will be late arriving, which throws our whole schedule off. A driver may cut us off in traffic.
這意味著什麼？我們無法掌握那 10% 的際遇。 我們無法阻止行程因汽車壞掉、航班誤點，甚或車子拋錨而延誤。

We have no control over this 10%. The other 90% is different. You determine the other 90%.
我們無法控制那 10% 的際遇，但餘下的 90% 則不然。你可以決定餘下的 90% 。

How? ……….By your reaction.
如何？ … 憑你的反應。

You cannot control a red light. But you can control your reaction. Don’t let people fool you; YOU can control how you react.
你不能控制交通燈轉紅，但你能夠控制你的反應。別讓他人愚弄你，你能夠控制你的反應。

Let’s use an example.
讓我們舉個例子。

You are eating breakfast with your family. Your daughter knocks over a cup of coffee
onto your business shirt. You have no control over what just happened.
你與你的家人吃早餐，你的女兒不小心把咖啡潑倒在你的襯衫上，這是你無法控制的情況。

What happens next will be determined by how you react.
下一步將如何則由你的反應而定。
