3. Not taking action
　　错误三：没有采取行动
　　Thinking that reading a book or blog will automatically transform you and your life. But knowledge without action on your part is not that very transforming. And only you can change yourself. Others can only give a bit of advice, support and motivation. But in the end, you have to take the steps in real life.
　　认为阅读一本书或浏览一个博客将会自然而然的改变你和你的生活。但是，心动没有行动并不能如你所愿的产生作用。只有你自己可以改变自己。其他人只能给与一些建议、支持和激励。但是最后，你必须在现实生活中采取行动。
　　Have a look at Don't get stuck in reading for more thoughts on the common affliction of getting stuck in reading a whole lot of personal development books without putting much of the advice into action.
　　可以阅读一下《不要拼命阅读》，其中有更多有用的想法。它们可以帮助那些读遍所有个人成长类书籍，却始终不能将书中的建议加以实践的人，让他们摆脱困扰。
　　If you have problems taking action, it's often due to fear. Try the first and the second suggestion in this article on overcoming fear. It helped me to get going.
　　如果你总是不能采取行动，那多半是因为你的恐惧。建议尝试本文章中第一条和第二条的建议，它们对我很有帮助
　　4. Giving up
　　错误四：轻言放弃
　　At the first or third failure thinking “It's no meaning. I am who I am and that can't change. I just have to get used to that thought.” Don't give up. One or five or 20 failures ain't that big of a deal in the long run. You have to fail to get good at something and to grow.
　　第一种或者第三种导致失败的想法：“这都没有意义。我只能是我自己，不能有什么改变。我不能不接受这个想法。”不要放弃，一次，五次，甚至是二十次的失败，从长远来看，都算不了什么。你不可能总是事事十全十美，即使失败了，也要继续前进。
　　5. Worrying about/listening to what others think
　　错误五：害怕或是拒绝吸取别人的想法
　　You might fear that people will react in badly to your change.
　　你可能会害怕看到人们对你的变化作出不好的反应。
　　And they might actually do that.
　　而且，他们很有可能就会作出不好的反应。
　　Perhaps they do not want you to change because then they fear drifting apart and losing you forever. 或许，他们不想你去改变，因为他们害怕从此就会和你疏远，最终永远失去你。
　　Or they might not want to see you improve as that will make them feel like they are standing still in life. Or give you unhelpful heap of negative thoughts on personal development and that it's all just common sense, a waste of time and that in real life it doesn't work like in the books.
　　或者，他们可能不想看见你改变，因为那样就会让他们感觉自己在原地不动。或者，他们会给你一些关于个人发展的无用的、消极的想法，这些都是很正常的，只是在浪费时间，毕竟现实生活和书里的描述不同。
　　If you get stuck here it's probably because you need validation from others. Take a look at Why you should not compare yourself to others for some thoughts and practical tips for overcoming or at least reducing this very common problem.
　　如果你深陷其中，那可能是因为你需要得到别人的认可。建议阅读《为什么你不应该把自己比作别人》，这本书对中极其常见的问题很有帮助。
　　6. Dabbling with it
　　错误六：浅尝辄止
　　Dabbling with your personal development and personal growth material on and off. Not committing to studying/action and developing it consistently as a part of your life.
　　对那些关于个人发展和个人成长的书籍，停停看看，看看停停。不用对学习或者行动下任何保证，只要把它当成你生活的一部分不断的坚持下去。
　　Perhaps you feel it's just too hard. Or just not worth it. And therefore not commit to it.
　　或许，你觉得这简直是太难了，或者根本就不值得，那么，就不要下决心去做。
　　Is it hard? Yes, sometimes. But I find that growing is overall a lot more positive than negative. And I think that from an outsider's perspective – as someone who hasn't immersed his/herself yet - it often looks as if there is a lot more struggle, time and money invested than when you look at from the inside perspective. Hard work isn't that hard when you feel you are growing and like what you are doing.
　　很难吗？是的，有时候。但是我发现，在成长的整个过程中，还是积极多过消极的，而在这个过程中，从一个旁观者的角度——一个还没有深陷其中的人——要比从一个当事人的角度看到更多的挣扎，更多消耗的时间和金钱。当你感觉到自己的成长时，困难也不觉得那么困难了，甚至喜欢自己正在做的事情。
　　Is it worth it? Well, it’s certainly better than the alternative. Just running or drooning around day after day filled with anxiety, stress and a low sense of self expressed in all kinds of direct or indirect ways ain't no fun.
　　它值得吗？当然，它肯定比选择好。整天漫无目的地跑来跑去，承受着来自各个方面的焦虑、压力和薄弱的自我表达感，可不是什么好玩的。
　　Keys to success with anything in life are consistency and patience. Commit to your personal growth. 想要在生活中取得成功，最关键的是持之以恒和具有耐心。全心全意的投入到你的个人成长中。
