 STEP ONE

 Raise Your Standards 

Any time you sincerely want to make a change , the first thing you must do is to raise your standards . When people ask me what really changed my life eight years ago , I tell them that absolutely the most important thing was changing what I demanded of myself . I wrote down all the things I would no longer accept in my life , all the things I would no longer tolerate , and all the things . that I aspired to becoming . 

Think of the far-reaching consequences set in motion by men and women who raised their standards and acted in accordance with them , deciding they would tolerate no less . History chronicles the inspiring examples of people like Leonardo da Vinci , Abraham Lincoln , Helen Keller , Mahatma Gandhi , Martin Luther King , Jr. , Rosa Parks , Albeit Einstein , Cesar Chavez , Soichiro Honda , and many . others who took the magnificently powerful step of raising their standards . The same power that was available to them is available to you , if you have the courage to claim it . Changing an organization , a company , a country - or a world - begins with the simple step of changing yourself .

第一步

 提高你的标准

 任何时候你真心想改变，首先要做的就是提高你的标准。 当人们问我八年前是什么真正改变了我的生活时，我告诉他们绝对最重要的是改变我对自己的要求。 我写下了我这辈子不再接受的所有事情，所有我不再容忍的事情，所有的事情。 我渴望成为的人。

 想一想那些提高标准并按照标准行事的男男女女所引发的深远后果，他们认为他们不会容忍的更少。 历史记载了莱昂纳多·达·芬奇、亚伯拉罕·林肯、海伦·凯勒、圣雄甘地、小马丁·路德·金、罗莎·帕克斯、爱因斯坦、塞萨尔·查韦斯、本田宗一郎等人的鼓舞人心的例子。 其他迈出了提高标准的强大步骤的人。 如果你有勇气宣称它，你也可以使用他们可以使用的相同力量。 改变一个组织、一个公司、一个国家——或一个世界——从改变自己这个简单的步骤开始。

 STEP TWO 

Change Your Limiting Beliefs

 If you raise your standards but don't really believe you can meet them , you've already sabotaged yourself . You won't even try ; you'll be lacking that sense of certainty that allows you to tap the deepest capacity that's within you even as you read this . Our beliefs are like unquestioned commands , telling us how things are , what's possible and what's impossible , what we can and can not do . They shape every action , every thought , and every feeling that we experience . As a result , changing our belief systems is central to making any real and lasting change in our lives . We must develop a sense . of certainty that we can and will meet the new standards before we actually do . 

Without taking control of your belief systems , you can raise your standards as much as you like , but you'll never have the conviction to back them up . How much do you think Gandhi would have accomplished had he not believed with every fiber of his being in the power of nonviolent opposition ? It was the congruence of his beliefs which gave him access to his inner resources and enabled him to meet challenges which would have swayed a less committed man . Empowering beliefs- this sense of certainty is the force behind any great success throughout history .

第二步

 改变你的局限信念

 如果你提高了你的标准，但并不真正相信你能达到它们，那么你已经破坏了自己。 你甚至不会尝试； 即使在阅读本文时，你也会缺乏那种让你能够挖掘你内心最深处的能力的确定感。 我们的信念就像毫无疑问的命令，告诉我们事情是怎样的，什么是可能的，什么是不可能的，我们能做什么，不能做什么。 它们塑造了我们所经历的每一个动作、每一个想法和每一种感觉。 因此，改变我们的信仰体系对于在我们的生活中做出任何真正和持久的改变至关重要。 我们必须培养一种意识。 可以肯定的是，我们能够并且将会在我们真正做到之前达到新的标准。

 如果不控制你的信念系统，你可以随心所欲地提高你的标准，但你永远不会有支持它们的信念。 如果甘地没有全身心地相信非暴力反对的力量，你认为甘地会取得多大的成就？ 正是他的信念的一致性使他能够接触到他的内在资源，并使他能够应对可能会影响一个不那么忠诚的人的挑战。 赋予信念权力——这种确定性是历史上任何伟大成功 背后的力量。

 STEP THREE 

Change Your Strategy

 In order to keep your commitment , you need the best strategies for achieving results . One of my core . beliefs is that if you set a higher standard , and you can get yourself to believe , then you certainly can figure out the strategies . You simply will find a way . Ultimately , that's what this whole book is about . It shows you strategies for getting the job done , and I'll tell you now that the best strategy in almost any case is to find a role-model , someone who's already getting the results you want , and then tap into their knowledge . Learn what they're doing , what their core beliefs are , and how they think . Not only . will this make you more effective , it will also save you a huge amount of time because you won't have to reinvent the wheel . You can fine - tune it , reshape it , and perhaps even make it better .

This book will provide you with the information and impetus to commit to all three of these master principles of quality change : it will help you raise your standards by discovering what they currently are and realizing what you want them to be ; it will help you change the core beliefs that are keeping you from where you want to go and enhance those that already serve you ; and it will assist you in developing a series of strategies for more elegantly , quickly , and efficiently producing the results you desire . 

You see , in life , lots of people know what to do , but few people actually do what they know . Knowing is not enough ! You must take action . If you will allow me the opportunity , through this book I'll be your personal coach . What do coaches do ? Well , first , they care about you . They've spent years focusing on a particular area of expertise , and they've continued to make key distinctions about how to produce results more quickly . By utilizing the strategies your coach shares with you , you can immediately and dramatically change your performance . Sometimes , your coach doesn't even tell you something new , but reminds you of what you already know , and then gets you to do it . This is the role , with your permission , that I'll be playing for you . 

On what , specifically , will be coaching you ? I'll offer you distinctions of power in how to create lasting improvements in the quality of your life . Together , we will concentrate on ( not dabble in ! ) the mastery of the five areas of life that I believe impact us most . They are :

第三步

 改变你的策略

 为了信守承诺，您需要实现结果的最佳策略。 我的核心之一。 信念 就是 如果 你 设定 一个 更高 的 标准 , 并且 你 可以 让 自己 相信 , 那么 你 肯定 可以 想出 策略 . 你只会找到方法。 最终，这就是整本书的内容。 它向你展示了完成工作的策略，我现在告诉你，几乎在任何情况下，最好的策略都是找到一个榜样，一个已经得到你想要的结果的人，然后利用他们的知识。 了解他们在做什么，他们的核心信念是什么，以及他们的想法。 不仅 。 这 会让 你 更有效率 , 它 也会 为 你 节省 大量 时间 , 因为 你 不必 重新 发明 轮子 . 您可以对其进行微调、重塑甚至改进。

 本书将为您提供信息和推动质量变革的所有这三个主要原则：它将帮助您通过发现它们目前的情况并实现您希望它们成为什么来提高您的标准； 它将帮助你改变那些让你远离你想去的地方的核心信念，并增强那些已经为你服务的信念； 它将帮助您制定一系列策略，以更优雅、快速、高效地产生您想要的结果。

 你看，在生活中，很多人知道该做什么，但很少有人真正做他们知道的事情。 知道是不够的！ 你必须采取行动。 如果 你 允许 我 有 机会 , 通过 这本书 我 将 成为 你 的 私人 教练 . 教练做什么？ 嗯，首先，他们关心你。 他们花了数年时间专注于特定的专业领域，并继续就如何更快地产生结果做出关键区分。 通过利用您的教练与您分享的策略，您可以立即显着改变您的表现。 有时，你的教练甚至不会告诉你一些新的东西，而是提醒你已经知道的事情，然后让你去做。 如果你允许，我将为你扮演这个角色。
