　　積極心態(tài)(PMA)

　　Positive Mental Attitude(PMA)

　　積極心態(tài)，是無(wú)論在任何情形下，都應(yīng)具備的準(zhǔn)確心態(tài)。這種心態(tài)是由“正面”的性情因素所構(gòu)成的，諸如“信念”、“正派”、“盼望”、“樂(lè)觀”、“勇氣”、“進(jìn)取心”、“大方”、“耐性”、“機(jī)靈”、“親熱”，以及“豐盛的常識(shí)”。

　　A positive mental attitude is the right mental attitude in any given situation and is most often composed of the plus characteristics symbolized by such words as"faith," "integrity," "hope," "optimism," "courage" "initiative," "generosity," "tolerance," "tact," "kindliness," and "good common sense."

　　積極心態(tài)是具備吸引力最主要的個(gè)性。事實(shí)上，在17項(xiàng)成功準(zhǔn)則中，有許多項(xiàng)都以它作為要害性的要素。積極心態(tài)影響你談話時(shí)的語(yǔ)氣、姿態(tài)和臉部表情，它會(huì)潤(rùn)飾你說(shuō)的每一句話，并且決議你的情感感觸，它還會(huì)對(duì)你的思維發(fā)生影響。

　　PMA is the most important aspect of any attractive personality;indeed,t is crucial to many of the Seventeen Principles of Success.PMA influences your tone of voice,your posture,your facial expressions.It modified every word you say and determines the nature of the emotions you feel.It affects every thought you have and the results your thoughts bring you.

　　為了比擬起見(jiàn)，讓咱們來(lái)看一下消極心態(tài)的影響。消極心態(tài)會(huì)澆熄你的熱情，蒙蔽你的想像力，下降你的配合志愿，使你失去自制才能，輕易發(fā)怒，缺少耐性，并且使你損失感性。

　　For the sake of contrast,lets examine the effects of a negative mental attitude.It dampens your enthusiasm,curtails your imagination,undermines your desire to be cooperative,overthrows your self-control,makes you sullen and intolerant,and,as if these werent enough,throws your reasoning out of gear.

　　既然消極心態(tài)對(duì)你的損壞力如斯之大，所以你最好還是待在家里，別出來(lái)和人競(jìng)爭(zhēng)，消極心態(tài)只會(huì)為你建立敵人，并且搗毀你的成績(jī)和友人。假如一位律師帶著消極心態(tài)步人法庭，即便他所辯解的是全世界最棒的案子，仍是無(wú)奈壓服法官和陪審團(tuán)。你會(huì)對(duì)一位容易發(fā)怒而又達(dá)觀的醫(yī)出產(chǎn)生信心嗎?不!人們是毫不會(huì)容忍消極心態(tài)的。

　　A negative mental attitude is so detrimental to your efforts that you are better off staying at home than venturing out into the world with it.It will only make you enemies and corrupt your good works and allinances.A lawyer who goes into court with best case in the word will convince neither judge nor jury if her attitude is negative.What kind of confidence would you have in a sullen,pessimistic doctor,no matter how many degrees hang on the will? None! People simply will not tolerate a bad mental attitude.

　　相形之一，積極心態(tài)為你開(kāi)啟了一扇門，并容許你展示技能和雄心壯志。想想那些帶著信心步人法庭，并且以無(wú)比確實(shí)信，博得法官和陪審團(tuán)支撐的律師吧：豈非你不想讓一位能使你放松心境，以溫和的語(yǔ)氣答復(fù)問(wèn)題，而且展現(xiàn)專業(yè)常識(shí)的醫(yī)師為你看病嗎?

　　In contrast, a positive mental opens doors and allows you to display your skills and ambitions.Imagine that lawyer presenting her case with confidence,gaining the ear of judge and jury because she is distinctively self-assured.Wouldnt you rather be treated by a physician who sets you at ease,answer your questions plainly,and demonstrates a knowledge of his field?

　　積極心態(tài)也是其他各種個(gè)性的形成因素，懂得跟利用其他個(gè)性。將會(huì)強(qiáng)化你的踴躍心態(tài)。

　　Building a positive mental attitude is part of the other aspects of an attractive personality.As you read on,youll see how understanding and applying each of these points reinforce your PMA.
