个人感悟

第三个习惯的大标题为要事第一，意思为人要学会给自己的事排个先后顺序，知道那个应该优先完成。首先我们应该正确定位，知道自己在人生当中的角色，然后依据定位，安排事宜，在执行的过程中慢慢调整，找到最适合自己的方式。

What one thing could you do ( you aren’t doing now) that if you did on a regular basis, would make a tremendous positive difference n your personal life.

看到这个问题，我的答案马上就出现了，锻炼身体，本来想说阅读的，但这是现在就在做的事呀。我的身体一向很不好，也一直想着要开始锻炼身体，最简单的方法就是跑步。但总在为自己找理由，下雨天不去，太阳大不去，刚吃完饭不能跑，睡前也不适合慢跑，没有小伙伴陪着怕危险也不去。就这样，一个学期拖过了一个学期，终于大三结束，还没有开始执行这个计划。我是知道长期坚持锻炼我的身体将发生巨大改变，但可能我没把它当作最重要的非做不可的事，因此也就一直没有开始做。
