4. Choose the right company.

　　选择正确的同伴。

　　As they say, “Bad company corrupts good character.” You don’t expect yourself to be able to change if you go on surrounding yourself with people who possess all the negative traits that you want to change. Consider befriending new people, especially those who are optimistic and have a healthy attitude towards life. You will see that your effort to change will be easier with these kinds of people as friends.

　　正如他们所说，“坏伙伴吞噬好习惯”。如果你周围仍都是性格不好的人，你不要指望自己能改变。考虑交新朋友，特别是那些乐观的、有积极生活态度的朋友。你会发现和这些类型的朋友在一起，为改变所做出的努力会更小。

　　5. Believe that you are able to change.

　　相信自己可以改变。

　　Often, the greatest obstacle between us and our goals is ourselves or our inability to trust in what we are able to do. If you don’t believe in yourself or believe that you or your life can change, it just won’t happen—you will either never start, or give up quickly so you won’t have even given yourself the opportunity to succeed.

　　通常，我们与目标之间最大的障碍是我们自己，或者是认为自己没有能力改变。如果你不相信自己或者自己的生活能够改变，改变就不会发生——你将永远不会开始，或者会很快结束，因此你将不会给自己成功的机会。

　　It cannot be denied that a positive attitude is very important for living a successful and satisfying life, so it is only right to strive to have a positive attitude. I have struggled with reforming my negative attitude as well, but over the years, through persistence and self evaluation, I have managed to change for the better. You can too!

　　不可否认，积极的生活对于成功或舒适的生活非常重要，因此需要努力有个积极的生活态度。我也与消极的生活态度斗争了很久，但多年来，通过坚持和自我评价，我已经努力变得更好。你也可以!
