A few weeks ago, Dave Kerpen, author and chief executive , received a postcard that illustrated the traits and behaviors of successful and unsuccessful people.
几周以前，戴夫科尔本，一位作家兼首席执行官，收到了一份写有成功人士与非成功人士显著区别的明信片。
The postcard points out the big differences between successful and unsuccessful people.
这份明信片写到的成功人士与失败人士显著区别如下：
Successful people embrace change. Unsuccessful people fear it.
成功人士接受改变，失败之人不愿改变
“Embracing change is one of the hardest things a person can do,” Kerpen says. With the world moving fast and technology accelerating at a rapid speed, it’s imperative that we embrace these changes and adapt, rather than fear them, deny then, or hide from them, he says. Successful people are able to do just that.
“接受改变是一个人最不容易做到的，” 戴夫 科尔本说道。随着生活节奏的加快，以及科技的快速发展，接受以及适应这些改变都是不可避免的，而非害怕接受，拒绝接受，不愿接受。成功的人都能做到接受改变。
Successful people talk about ideas. Unsuccessful people talk about people.
成功人士之间谈论的是想法，而不成功的人之间讨论的是人
Instead of gossiping about people — which gets you nowhere — successful people discuss ideas. “Sharing ideas with others will only make them better,” Kerpen says.
与其说人长道人短--毫无益处---成功的人讨论的往往是想法。“与人交流想法，只会让你的想法更成熟，”戴夫 科尔本谈到。
Successful people accept responsibility for their failures. Unsuccessful people blame others.
成功的人会承担起失败带来的责任，而不成功的人只是迁怒于他人
Truly successful leaders and businesspeople experience both ups and downs in their lives and careers. But they always accept responsibility for their failures. Kerpen says blaming others solves nothing. “It just puts other people down and absolutely no good comes from it.”
真正的成功人士和企业家在她们的生活中都经历过波折。但是他们总是能承担起失败带来的责任。戴夫科尔本说责怪别人并不能解决问题。“那只会让别人不好受，除此以外绝无任何好处。”
Successful people give others all the credit for their victories. Unsuccessful people take all the credit from others.
成功的人总是归功于他人，而失败的人总是揽下别人的功劳
Letting people have their moments to shine motives them to work harder, and, consequently, makes you look better as a leader or teammate.
让别人有自我感觉良好的时刻，那样会激励他们更加勤奋的工作，同时最后也会让你看起来更有领导风范。
Successful people want others to succeed. Unsuccessful people secretly hope others fail.
成功的人希望别人也能取得成功，而失败的人暗地里希望别人失败
“When you’re in an organization with a group of people, in order to be successful, you all have to be successful,” Kerpen explains. That’s why the most successful people don’t wish for their demise; they want to see their co-workers succeed and grow.
“当你和一群人在同一个团队的时候，为了取得成功，得所有人都取得成功才可以，”戴夫科尔本解释道。 这就是为什么大多数的成功人士都希望别人也不要失败的原因。他们希望看见同事也能成长，也能取得成功。
Other major differences: successful people exude joy, share data and information, read every day, and continuously learn, while unsuccessful people exude anger, hoard data and information, watch TV every day, and fly by the seat of their pants.
还有一些主要的区别是：成功人士流露出来的是幸福，分享资源，共享信息，每天都阅读，每天都学习。但是失败的人更多的是愤怒，资源不愿共享，每天都看电视，无所事事。
