5 Reasons Why People Who Read A Lot Are More Likely

　　To Be Successful

　　1.They have increased focus

　　注意力增加

　　Successful people are able to focus on one task for an elongated period of time. Anyone who’s read Atlas Shrugged can tell you reading isn’t a quick process. It’s also not a singular process. Readers take breaks, naturally, but the most avid reader simply cannot put a book down for longer than a day after they’ve dove into it. Successful people feel the same way about any task they set out to do.

　　成功的人能将自己对某个任务的关注时间延长。每个度过《地球战栗》的人就知道阅读并不能说快就快的。也不是个单一的过程。阅读自然是需要休息的，但是热爱阅读的人在迷上阅读之后不能一天不阅读。成功的人认为做工作也是这样。

　　2.They set goals

　　他们设定目标

　　Along with focus, readers set goals for themselves whenever they sit down with a good book. Whether setting out to read a specific amount of pages before moving on to another activity, or deciding to read until a certain concept is solidified in their mind, readers actively try to accomplish something whenever they open a text. Successful people set goals for just about every moment of their life, and continue working toward the goal until they surpass it.

　　除了专注，阅读者只要有有书的时候坐着，他们都能给自己订立一个目标。不管是下一项活动以前要读的页数还是决定读到某个概念在脑袋里面固话的时候，不管是什么时候打开书本阅读者都试着去做到些什么。成功的人为生活中的每一分钟都订好目标，并不断为之努力直到目标完成。

　　3.They spend time wisely

　　他们合理运用时间

　　They might only have 20 minutes before they have to be somewhere, but instead of seeing “only 20 minutes” as not enough time to get anything done, they see it as 20 minutes that can be spent reading. Successful people view their time as incredibly valuable, and seize every opportunity they have to learn something new, or accomplish a goal.

　　也许到达某地之前只有20分钟，但是与其将“只有20分钟”视为什么事情也做不了的话，他们就认为这20分钟是可以阅读的。成功的人觉得他们的时间无比宝贵，抓住每一个学习新东西的机会，或者实现每一个目标。

　　4.They are reflective

　　他们会反思

　　In addition to gaining perspective, readers are reflective about what they have read. While gaining perspective allows a person to see from the other side of the fence, being reflective allows them the opportunity to understand how they can be productive with their new-found perspective. Successful people see reading not as the simple act of staring at words on a page. They understand the profound effect that consuming a text can have on the mind, and how books can change a person’s life.

　　除了能获得新的视角以外，阅读者会反思他们所读到的内容。当获得新视角能让一个人从不同的角度来看问题，反思就是让他们有机会去理解他们怎样才能用新的视角变得有效率。成功的人不是将阅读视为简单地看页面上得子。他们知道在脑袋里消化吸收一页知识的影响力，以及书是如何改变一个人的生活的。

　　5.They have incredible writing and speaking skills

　　他们有良好的写作和语言表达技巧

　　It’s no surprise that the greatest orators in human history have all been enthusiastic about reading. Successful people draw inspiration from their role models, and utilize this inspiration to further their cause.

　　不足为奇的是，在人类历史上伟大的演说家都热衷于阅读。成功的人从他们的榜样中吸取灵感，并且进一步利用这种情感。
