Did you know that something as simple as striking a powerful, confident pose can trick your brain into actually feeling more confident? Well, it can. Really.

你知道嗎，僅僅是擺出有力的自信姿勢就能給大腦一種錯(cuò)覺，好像真的感覺更自信了。恩，真是這樣！

Try this: Next time you're feeling nervous about something —like a job interview, for example —try taking a couple minutes right before and adopting this pose: Stand straight up, push your shoulders back and chest out, and place your hands on your hips.

你可以試下這樣：下一次如果你感覺緊張，可以用幾分鐘的時(shí)間擺一個(gè)站直，肩膀后傾，挺胸，手放手放在臀部。

Studies have shown that this pose can lead to a short-term increase in confidence and reduction in stress. How does this work?

研究表明這種姿勢能短時(shí)間內(nèi)提高自信并減壓。為什么會(huì)這樣呢？

"Our nonverbals govern how we think and feel about ourselves. Our bodies change our minds," said Harvard Business School social psychologist Amy Cuddy in a 2012 TED Global talk.

哈佛大學(xué)商學(xué)院社會(huì)心理學(xué)家Amy Cudd在2012年TED全球論壇上說：“我們這種非語言的行為控制著我們對自己的想法和感覺，身體能改變思想。”

Now, this sounds like one of those "easier said than done" type suggestions, but it's actually not. Think about the things in your life you can't change and those you can. You can't change your eye color or your height, for example, but you can change your physical strength through training.

現(xiàn)在聽起來很多“說起來容易做起來難,”的一件事,但事實(shí)上它不是。很多事是不可以改變的。例如,你不能改變眼睛的顏色或你的身高,但你可以改變你的運(yùn)動(dòng)體力。

Ask yourself if your goal is something you have the power to improve upon (even if improving might be really difficult). Is your goal to become a better public speaker? That's something you can improve upon. A better interviewer? That's a skill that can be honed. Have more upper body strength? With training, that's possible, too.

問問你自己是否有能力做出改變(即使改變是非常困難的)。你的目標(biāo)是成為一個(gè)更好的演講者?你能做到。想成為一個(gè)更好的面試官嗎?這也可以鍛煉成功。想要增強(qiáng)體力嗎?也可以通過運(yùn)動(dòng)來增強(qiáng)。

What you'll find is that there are very few things in life truly set in stone. We all have our own limitations, but as long as we can remind ourselves that we're not stuck, we have incentive to stay motivated.

你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)生活中真的沒幾件事是做不到的。我們都有自己的局限，但只要我們能提醒自己不被困住，我們的積極性都能被激發(fā)出來。

You're going to fail, and that's a given. What matters much more than whether or not you fail is how you react to that setback. Do you get up? Do you regroup, come up with a new strategy, and try again? Or do you just throw in the towel?

你會(huì)失敗，這是一定的。比你失敗與否更重要的是你如何應(yīng)付挫折。你站起來了嗎？你重整旗鼓、想出新的點(diǎn)子然后再次嘗試了嗎？或者你認(rèn)輸了？

If we can learn to fail, we can learn to succeed.

如果我們能學(xué)會(huì)失敗，我們就能學(xué)會(huì)成功。
