📖 今天要学习的句子
How to Stick with Good Habits Every Day In 1993, a bank in Abbotsford, Canada, hired a twenty-three-year-old stockbroker named Trent Dyrsmid. Abbotsford was a relatively small suburb, tucked away in the shadow of nearby Vancouver, where most of the big business deals were being made. Given the location, and the fact that Dyrsmid was a rookie, nobody expected too much of him. But he made brisk progress thanks to a simple daily habit. Dyrsmid began each morning with two jars on his desk. One was filled with 120 paper clips. The other was empty. As soon as he settled in each day, he would make a sales call. Immediately after, he would move one paper clip from the full jar to the empty jar and the process would begin again. Every morning I would start with 120 paper clips in one jar and I would keep dialing the phone until I had moved them all to the second jar, he told me. Within eighteen months, Dyrsmid was bringing in $5 million to the firm. By age twenty-four, he was making $75,000 per year—the equivalent of $125,000 today. Not long after, he landed a six-figure job with another company. I like to refer to this technique as the Paper Clip Strategy and, over the years, I’ve heard from readers who have employed it in a variety of ways. One woman shifted a hairpin from one container to another whenever she wrote a page of her book. Another man moved a marble from one bin to the next after each set of push-ups.
如何每天坚持好习惯 1993年，加拿大阿伯茨福德的一家银行雇用了一位名叫特伦特·迪尔斯米德的23岁股票经纪人。阿伯茨福德是一个相对较小的郊区，隐藏在附近温哥华的阴影之下，而大多数重要商业交易都在那里发生。考虑到这个地点，再加上迪尔斯米德还是个新人，没有人对他抱有太高期望。但他凭借一个简单的日常习惯取得了飞快进步。 迪尔斯米德每天早上都会在桌上放两个罐子。一个罐子里装着120枚回形针。另一个罐子是空的。每天一坐定，他就会打一通销售电话。紧接着，他会把一枚回形针从满罐移到空罐里，然后重新开始这个过程。他告诉我：“每天早上，我会从一个装着120枚回形针的罐子开始，然后一直拨电话，直到我把它们全都移到第二个罐子里。” 18个月内，迪尔斯米德就为公司带来了500万美元的业绩。到24岁时，他每年收入75000美元，相当于今天的125000美元。不久之后，他又在另一家公司获得了一份六位数年薪的工作。 我喜欢把这种方法称为“回形针策略”。这些年来，我也听到读者们用各种方式实践它。一位女士每写完书中的一页，就把一个发夹从一个容器移到另一个容器。另一位男士每做完一组俯卧撑，就把一颗弹珠从一个盒子移到另一个盒子。
