金句和单词

金句一：

Like a muscle, self-control can vary in its strength—not only from person to person, but from moment to moment.

vary 变化

金句二：

People who are very successful in one or more areas of their life are successful precisely because that’s where they devote the bulk of their capacity for self-control.

devote 把…专用于

capacity 最大容量；生产力

金句三：

When you tax it too much, the well of self-control will certainly run dry.

tax 耗费

run 流出

金句四：

Depletion is only temporary, and you are most vulnerable immediately after you’ve used up your self-control reserves.

depletion 耗尽；枯竭

temporary 暂时的

vulnerable 脆弱的

use up 耗尽

金句五：

A lack of self-control strength can sometimes be overcome with well-chosen incentives or rewards.

overcome 克服

incentive 奖励

reward 奖品；酬金

金句六：

Increasing your motivation through better rewards can help you compensate for a temporary loss of self-control.

金句七：

Another way in which willpower, or self-control, is different than you may have imagined is that it’s neither innate nor unchangeable. Self-control is learned, and developed and made stronger (or weaker) over time.
