1. Read a book every daybooks are the source of wisdom, and the more books you read, the more knowledge you will gain. What books can be self-elevating? I have read the inspirational book is "Thinking Rich" "Who Moved My Cheese" "high-energy people's seven habits" "Rich Road" "80/20 Life Sutra", some books evaluation is good, such as "tipping Point" "Alien" "winner's mentality" 2. Learn a new languageas a Singaporean Chinese, I have English, Mandarin and Hakka in my life. Out of interest, I also reported several language courses last year, in Japanese and Bahasa Indonesia. I find that learning a language is the process of learning a new skill, mastering a new language, and understanding a new culture is an open mind experience.  3, choose a new hobbyIn addition to your daily hobbies, can you develop some new hobbies? New sport? such as fencing, golf, rock climbing, football, kayaking, skating. New hobbies can also be entertainment, such as poetry, Italian cooking, dancing, wine appreciation, web design wait. Learning new things will give you all aspects of exercise hair, physical, mental and psychological.  4. To report a new courseis there a suitable new course? Participating in the new curriculum is a great way to acquire new knowledge and new skills. Not necessarily long-term courses, seminars and small workshops can also be achieved. I went to a few small workshops where I could look at the problem with a new vision.  5. Decorate a room full of inspiring meaningsThe environment in which you are located affects your mood and the manner in which you behave. If you are in a room full of inspiration, you will be in great spirits and creativity every day. I didn't like my room at all, and I thought it was a mess. A few years ago, I made up my mind that I couldn't go on like this, and I started a big makeover for the house. What's the result? A room where I didn't want to go, a house that let me inspire new ideas every day.  6. Overcoming Feareveryone has something to fear. Fear of uncertainty, fear of public speaking, fear of adventure ... We are shackled by our own fears. Correct understanding of fear, it is a place to make progress. I often think of fear as a breach. If I am afraid of something, it means that I have not looked at it, and by overcoming such things, I have grown.  7. Upgrading the TechnologyIf you play role-playing games, you know what "upgrade" means----gain more experience and make yourself better and stronger. As a blogger, I constantly upgrade my writing skills and as a speaker I constantly upgrade my public affairs skills. So what are the techniques you can upgrade?  8. Get up early,getting up early (five to six o'clock in the morning) has been recognized as helping to improve people's creativity and quality of life. I would agree with that, because when people get up early, their mental state is in the best condition and will make better use of the day.  9. Regular weekly ExerciseKeeping a good figure is the key to self-growth. I made my own schedule for jogging three times a week and running at least 30 minutes at a time. You can combine various exercises, such as jogging, fitness, and swimming in different ways.  10. Writing Your own life HandbookI started the concept of living Handbook three years ago. Basically is a book, above how to live out of self, live out the ultimate point, such as your goal, your values, ideals. Sort of like a personal life index. I've been writing my Life Handbook since 2007, and it's now a booster for life development.  11. Write a letter to your future selfWhat do you think you're going to look like after five years? The same as it is now? What kind of person would you be? Write a letter to your future----It's best to start with yourself one year later, write it, seal it. Set the opening date. Then start working hard to be the person you want to be when you look at the letter in the future.  12. Get out of the comfort zonereal growth is always created by hardships and sweat. It's not easy for us to have a little help, but it just makes us lose our energy slowly. What is your comfort zone? Are you a long time in the holiday? Do something different, read an article that you don't normally read, and literally, you're starting to grow by adapting to the new environment. 13. Compete with SB.Competition is one of the best ways to grow. Come to a competition (can lose weight, exercise, make money wait), find a friend interested in the competition to see who first to achieve the goal. Through the competition, you and your friends will be more than the alone struggle when the goods receive more abundant.  14. Know your blind spots correctlyfrom a scientific point of view, blind spots are places where the eyes cannot see things. In personal development, the blind spot is something that you don't know correctly. Discovering your blind spots can help you find where you can improve and progress. A blind spot I often do is to recognize the things that touch me. Touch, is to say that makes me angry, feel weird or deeply moved. What do these show me as a blind spot? Blind spot discovery is fun, because I can always find a new side of myself, even if I think I know my blind spot (but this is a blind spot?). And then I'm going to start fixing the blind spot of the new discovery. 15. Collect Feedbackas long as we start to grow, we will find our own blind spots. Collecting feedback will provide a new vision for seeing things. You can collect feedback from friends, family, colleagues, bosses, and even someone who knows them, because they are not pre-biased and give more objective feedback.  16. Focus on the Todo listEvery morning, the first thing I do is to think about what is going to be done today, which helps me focus. If you don't do that someday, you won't be productive that day. For example, one of the things to do on the list is to make a guest message for this site, which is why I'm writing here. Since my work needs to be on the computer all day, I use free Sticky notes to help me manage my todo list. This software is easy to use and free software. Strongly pushed use 17. Set Yourself a distant dream (Haruka Dream)I'm a big fan of Haruka dream. Haruka Dream helps us to surpass ourselves, because these dreams are so distant and vain that we don't even want to dream. What are the big dreams you can set? What is the feeling of a conquest that makes you rise above the top of the world? Write down these dreams and practice them.  18, understand their shortcomingsEveryone has shortcomings, the focus is to recognize shortcomings, understand shortcomings, overcome shortcomings. What shortcomings do you think you have? What can be overcome now? How do you plan to overcome it?  19, Action nowthe only way to learn and grow is to act immediately. What is it that you always want to do? How to take immediate action? Wait, can never wait for what results. Immediate action will be rewarded immediately.  20. Learn from Idolsthink about the people you admire, the people who inspire you. The quality of the reflection in these people is the quality that you want to have. What do they have that you wish you could have? How will you acquire these qualities?  21, quit bad habitsare there any bad habits that affect your success? Sleep? Not exercising? Late? Mental malaise? Love biting nails? Smokes? It's just a tip to help you get rid of bad habits.  22, develop new habitsThe habits that help life are: reading, getting up early, exercising, reading a successful essay every day, doing meditation. Do you still want to go to other new habits that you can develop yourself?  23. Stay away from negative peopleas Jim Rohn said, "The five people you often talk to determine who you are." "No matter where you go, you will inevitably encounter negative people." If you feel that you will be negatively affected by them, stay away from them.  24, learn to get along with a ghost horse tricky peopleThere are times when you have to face these tricky people. For example, in the workplace, or someone who is a member of your interlocking interpersonal circle. Learning to get along, it will have a lot of help in future interpersonal communication.  25, learn from friendseveryone has a shining spot, which depends on how we look at it. There are some places in your friends that are worth learning. Now try to think about your good friends, just think of one of them you want to learn the advantages of good. How to learn from them and absorb their advantages? Ask them straight, of course, they'll be happy to help you.  26, write a diaryDiary is a good way of self-awakening and self-growth. This is a process of self-reflection. When you write a diary, you are to clear your own ideas, from the perspective of the third party to look at these words, you know more about yourself. These diaries can be private, or they can be published on their own blogs. I have my own self-development blog as a diary, through the blog record, I know more and more myself.  27, start a self-development blog TourTo help others, you have to have a say in the first place. People and yourself are looking forward to your expectations, so don't let your expectations fall into vain. I own a personal development blog, and I am here to share my thoughts about my self-growth and my good life on the right. Readers want to improve their ability through my article, which has become my motivation to run the blog, not only for myself, but also for my readers.  28, looking for someone to supervise or instructthere is no faster way to grow than to work with people to make progress. Many of my clients let me be their supervisor, supervise their actual goals, they are more than their own hard work to improve quickly, the achievement is more abundant 29, reduce the time to chatter about the planI found that the plan negotiations always started with someone's absence and then ended up wasting time. This period of time could have been used up. I do more than usual when I don't have to do the planning discussion. I always turn off the radio button when I'm planning, and when I do have gossip, I turn it on again . 30, learn chessChess is a great game for learning strategies and active brains. Not only fun, but also to exercise analytical thinking. You can also exercise yourself from chess games, online games, such as Othello, Chess, Warcraft.  31, leaving the TVI haven't watched TV for almost four years, I feel good and I'm quite free. Most of the programs and advertisements on mainstream television channels often do not require much attention and are not brain-focused. Now I spend time without watching TV on other more meaningful things, such as keeping in touch with good friends, doing what I like, exercising and waiting.  32, start a 30-day challengeset a goal and give yourself 30 days to complete. This goal can be a new hobby, or something you've wanted to do a long time ago and have never done. 30 days is just right, planning, layout, action, reflection, and achieving goals . 33, Meditationmeditation can make a person calm and sober. and meditation at night can also reduce sleep time. Sweeping clutter can calm the body and mind 34, join the International lecture (Learn public speaking)There is an interesting phenomenon-----Public speaking is the most feared thing in the world, followed by death. Since I started speaking as a self-development lecturer/trainer, I have learned how to communicate with people, to show myself, and to integrate into the crowd. International Toastmasters is a global organization that specializes in training people in public speaking skills. Check to see if there's a lecture point for the world's Speaking association near you 35, to be friends with the leaders of various fieldsThese people have achieved remarkable things because they have the correct attitude, skill and strategy. Is there anything more rewarding than learning from a successful person? Learn from them how to progress, and how to achieve as much as they do.  36, let go of the pastare you haunted by past sadness, unpleasant memories? If so, now is the time to put them down. Trapped in this emotion, will only let you stop before, can not become a better person. Let go of the past, forgive yourself and move on. I finally came out of a grief-stricken breakup five years ago, and now I feel so relaxed and happy that I've never been happier . 37, start a business planis there anything you are interested in? Why not turn it into an entrepreneurial opportunity? At the same time of study, make a little money? You need to have business management knowledge, sharp business acumen, and a competitive advantage in your own business. I gained a lot of skills when I started my own development career, such as self-discipline, leadership, organizational and managerial skills. 38. Express goodwill to the people around youno matter what, you will not be too good to "too". In fact, many of us do not know how to express goodwill at all. Having good thoughts helps to cultivate tolerance, patience, love, and so on. After you finish reading the article and go back to work, try to show some kindness to the people around you and see what their reaction is. This is not the count, you have to understand the other people's time, how you feel. Chances are you'll like yourself more.  39, active and enemyIf you are not tolerant, it is no surprise to have a group of enemies. It's easy to hate our enemies, but it's hard to love them. Forgive them and put down forget old hatred, which requires great breadth of mind and openness. Is there anyone in your life who hates you and hates you? If there is, take the initiative to extend the hands of love, and their dealings with it, to find ways to solve the problem, the past to cover the coffin. Even if you have hot face with cold buttocks, but also to love them calmly, it is more than hate to hate to be more comfortable 40. Take a breakare you working too hard? Self-growth involves facing the reality that you need to relax to go farther. You can't drive a car without oil, right? Get out of the complicated business, rest, recharge, and prepare for the future . 41, at least read a self-growing article every dayThis is the opinion of my readers and I think there is some truth in it. Here are a lot of good growth blogs that you can stroll around 42, responsible for the growth of their ownI wrote a self-promotion of ten, 25, 42, or even 1000, but if you do not care about their growth, I write more and no use, we must be responsible for their growth, is our own, not others, not mom, not dad, not an old friend, not me, not the project. Determined to adhere to the pursuit of growth, lifelong unremitting continuous improvement, change their own.
