Six Secrets of High-Energy People
A. There´s an energy crisis in America, and it has nothing to do with fossil fuels. Millions of us get up each morning already weary over the day holds. "I just can´t get started," people say. But it´s not physical energy that most of us lack. Sure, we could all use extra sleep and a better diet. But in truth, people are healthier today than at any time in history. I can almost guarantee that if you long for more energy, the problem is not with your body.
B . What you´re seeking is not physical energy. It´s emotional energy. Yet, sad to say, life sometimes seems designed to exhaust our supply. We work too hard. We have family obligations. We encounter emergencies and personal crises. No wonder so many of us suffer from emotional fatigue, a kind of utter exhaustion of the spirit.
C. And yet we all know people who are filled with joy, despite the unpleasant circumstances of their lives. Even as a child, I observed people who were poor, or disabled, or ill, but who nonetheless faced life with optimism and vigor. Consider Laura Hillenbrand, who despite an extremely weak body, wrote the best-seller Seabiscuit. Hillenbrand barely had enough physical energy to drag herself out of bed to write. But she was fueled by having a story she wanted to share. It was
emotional energy that helped her succeed.
D. Unlike physical energy, which is finite and diminishes with age, emotional energy is unlimited and has nothing to do with genes or upbringing. So how do you get it? You can´t simply tell yourself to be positive. You must take action. Here are six practical strategies that work.
1. Do something new
E. Very little that´s new occurs in our lives. The impact of this sameness on our emotional energy is gradual, but huge: It´s like a tire with a slow leak. You don´t notice it at first, but eventually you´ ll get a fiat. It´ s up to you to plug the leak--even though there are always a dozen reasons to stay stuck in your dull routines of life. That´ s where Maura,36, a waitress, found herself a year ago.
F. Fortunately, Maura had a lifeline--a group of women friends who meet regularly to discuss their lives. Their lively discussions spurred Maura to make small but nevertheless life altering changes. She joined a gym in the next town. She changed her look with a short haircut and new black T-shirts. Eventually, Maura gathered the courage to quit her job and start her own business.
G. Here´s a challenge: If it´s something you wouldn´t ordinarily do, do it. Try a dish you´ve never eaten. Listen to music you´d ordinarily tune out. You´ll discover these small things add to your emotional energy.
2. Reclaim life´s meaning
H. So many of my patients tell me that their lives used to have meaning, but that somewhere along the line things went stale.
I. The first step in solving this meaning shortage is to figure out what you really care about, and then do something about it. A case in point is Ivy,57, a pioneer in investment banking. "I mistakenly believed that all the money I made would mean something," she says. "But I feel lost, like a 22-year-old wondering what to do with her life." Ivy´s solution? She started a program that shows Wall Streeters how to donate time and money to poor children. In the process, Ivy filled her life with meaning.
3. Put yourself in the fun zone
J. Most of us grown-ups are seriously fun-deprived. High-energy people have the same day-to-day work as the rest of us, but they manage to find something enjoyable in every situation. A real estate broker I know keeps herself amused on the job by mentally redecorating the houses she shows to clients. "I love imagining what even the most run-down house could look like with a little tender loving care," she says. "It´s a challenge--and the least desirable properties are usually the most fun."
K. We all define fun differently, of course, but I can guarantee this: If you put just a bit of it into your day, you energy will increase quickly.
4. Bid farewell to guilt and regret
L. Everyone´s past is filled with regrets that still cause pain. But from an emotional energy point of view, they are dead weights that keep us from moving forward. While they can´t merely be willed away, I do recommend you remind yourself that whatever happened is in the past, and nothing can change that. Holding on to the memory only allows the damage to continue into the present.
5. Make up your mind
M. Say you´ve been thinking about cutting your hair short. Will it look stylish--or too extreme? You endlessly think it over. Having the decision hanging over your head is a huge energy drain. Every time you can´t decide, you burden yourself with alternatives. Quit thinking that you have to make the right decision; instead, make a choice and don´ t look back.
6. Give to get
N. Emotional energy has a kind of magical quality: the more you give, the more you get back. This is the difference between emotional and physical energy. With the latter, you have to get it to be able to give it. With the former, however, you get it by giving it.
O. Start by asking everyone you meet, "How are you?" as if you really want to know, then listen to the reply. Be the one who hears. Most of us also need to smile more often. If you don´t smile at the person you love first thing in the morning, you´re sucking energy out of your relationship. Finally, help another person--and make the help real, concrete. Give a massage (按摩) to someone you love, or cook her dinner. Then, expand the circle to work. Try asking yourself what you´d do if your goal were to be helpful rather than efficient.
P. After all, if it´s true that what goes around comes around, why not make sure that what´s circulating around you is the good stuff?.
With an extremely weak body, but emotional energy, Laura Hillenbrand wrote the best-seller Seabicuit.

参考译文
精力充沛者的六大秘诀
A.美国出现了能源危机，但这与矿物燃料无关。数百万人一早起来就已经对一天要做的事情感到疲倦了。有的人说：“我就是没办法开始。”但是我们大多数人所缺的并不是体力。当然，如果这样．我们仅仅需要通过增加睡眠和改善饮食来补充体力。但事实上，今天的人类比历史上的任何时候都要健康。我敢肯定地说，如果你想精力充沛的话，问题的关键并不在于你的身体。
B.你所寻求的并不是体力，而是情感力量。然而，令人悲伤的是，生活有时候似乎就是要耗尽我们的精力。我们工作得太辛苦了，我们要承担各种家庭责任．我们会遇到种种紧急情况和个人危机。难怪会有这么多人感到情感疲惫，这是对精神的一种完全消耗。
C.然而，我们都认识每天很乐观的人，尽管他们的生活中也有种种不幸。在小时候，我就注意到有些人虽然贫穷、残疾或者有病，但他们仍然积极乐观地面对生活，比如劳拉·希伦布兰德，虽然她身体很虚弱，但她还是写出了畅销书《奔腾年代》。希伦．布兰德几乎连起床写字的力量都没有，然而，因为有一个故事想和大家分享，她便有了动力。正是情感力量帮助她取得成功。
D.体力是有限的，而且会随着年龄的增长而衰退，但情感力量不同，它是无限的，与基因和教养无关。那么怎样获得情感力量呢?你不能仅仅只是告诉自己要积极向上一些，必须要行动起来。下面是六种行之有效的策略。
1．尝试新鲜事物
E.我们的生活中很少会有新鲜的事情发生，这种重复对我们的情感力量逐渐产生影响，但这种影响很大：就像是一个慢慢漏气的轮胎。起初你没有注意到，但最终你的轮胎就变得扁平了。是否堵上漏洞取决于你——即便总是有很多理由让你继续过自己枯燥的生活。莫拉，一位36岁的女服务员，发现她一年前就过着这样的生活。
F.幸运的是，莫拉拥有一根生命线——一群定期聚会讨论自己生活的女性朋友。她们活跃的讨论激励莫拉做了一些很小但却足以改变她生活的改变。她加入了隔壁城镇的一个健身俱乐部，改变了自己的打扮，理了短发，穿了一件新的黑色T恤衫。最终，莫拉鼓足勇气辞去了工作，开始自己创业。
G.这是一种挑战：尝试去做一件你通常不会做的事情。品尝一道你从来都没试过的菜，听听你平常不听的音乐。你会发现这些不起眼的小事会增加你的情感力量。
2．重拾生活的意义
H.很多病人告诉我，以前他们的生活是很有意义的，但是不知什么时候就变得索然无味了。
I.解决生活意义缺失问题的第一步是先搞清楚你真正关心的事情是什么，然后去做。举个例子，57岁的艾维女士是一家投资银行的先驱。她说：“我原本错误地以为我挣了这么多钱会很有意义，但是我却感到很迷惘，就像一个22岁的年轻人一样，不知道如何经营自己的生活。”艾维的解决方法?她启动了一个项目，鼓励华尔街的投资者们向贫穷儿童贡献时间和金钱。在这个过程中，艾维找到了生命的意义。
3．让生活充满乐趣
J.大部分成年人根本没有什么乐趣可言。精力充沛的人和我们每个人一样每天要做同样的工作，但是他们会设法在每个场合中找到一些有乐趣的事。我认识的一位房地产经纪人，通过在脑子里构思如何装修她向客户展示的房子来获得乐趣。“我甚至喜欢想象，很破的房子，经过一点点细心照料后会变成什么样子。”她说，“这是一个挑战——最破的房子通常能给人带来最大的乐趣。”
K.当然每个人对乐趣的定义不同，但我敢肯定：只要你在生活中加入一点点乐趣，你的精力就会快速增长。
4．告别负罪感和悔恨
L.每个人的过去都充满令人悔恨的事情，而且它们仍然在隐隐作痛。但是从情感力量的观点来看，这些令人感到痛苦的事情只不过是阻碍我们前进的累赘。但你却无法忘记这些，我的建议是：提醒自己，无论发生了什么．那都是过去的事了，这一点是不可改变的。坚守回忆只会让伤害延续到今天。
5．下定决心
M.比如说．你一直在考虑剪头发。但是剪短的话看起来会时尚吗?或者会不会变化太大了?无休止地考虑这件事情，在脑海里一直游移不定，对精力是一种极大的消耗。每当你无法做出决定时，各种不同的选择就会给自己造成心理负担。不要想着你必须做出正确的决定；相反，做出选择，不要回头。
6．付出就有回报
N.情感力量有一种魔力：你付出越多，得到就越多。这就是情感力量和体力的不同之处。对于体力来说，你得先有体力．然后才能付出。而对于情感力量来说，只要你付出就会有回报。
O.带着真诚的心问候每一个你遇到的人“你好吗?”，并倾听他们的回答。做一个善于聆听的人。我们大多数人也需要经常微笑。如果早上起床后的第一件事不是向你爱的人微笑，那这样的行为会危害到你们的关系。最后．帮助别人——这种帮助应该是真实具体的。给你爱的人按摩或者做顿饭，然后把这种关心扩大到工作中去。问问你自己，如果你的目的是对别人有帮助，而不是自己追求高效率，那么你会做什么。
P.毕竟，如果有什么样的付出就会有什么样的收获，那么为什么不确保自己的收获是好的呢?
