What is the one thing some people do to get a better life?

为了更好的生活都会做的一件事

When I was growing up, I often asked myself, what is one thing that I can do today for a better life tomorrow?

I would come up with a hundred different answers. I should work out every morning. I should work longer hours. I should find a mentor. I should learn to enjoy life more. I should have a better sense of humor. I should spend more time with family and friends.

当我逐渐成长，我经常问自己，我今天做什么，明天有更美好的生活。 我可能会提出一百多种不同答案。我应该每个早晨都锻炼，我应该工作时间更久一点。我应该找个良师益友。我应该学会多享受生活一点。我应该多一点幽默感。我应该花更多的时间陪陪家人和朋友。

What I didn’t realize is that they all had one thing in common.

我没意识到的是这些其实都有个相同点。

I should have focused on improving myself every single day.

我应该专注于每天都提升自己。

Now that I’m 32, I’ve finally realized I should have just focused on that one thing. Want to know why?

现在我32岁，我终于意识到我应该专注在一件事情上。想知道为什么吗？

Greatness compounds over time. Over the short term, small improvements may seem…well…small. But over an extended period of time, those small incremental improvements turn into massive transformations that can dramatically alter your life.

伟大是由时间造就的。在短期内，渺小的提升可能看起来很小，但是经过一段很长的时间之后，这些微小的提升最后会让你的生活发生戏剧性的变化。
