It would be great if the values that you treasure were widely supported and encouraged by others. Yet even if very few other people share your values, you can still benefit from them. 如果你所珍视的价值观能得到他人的广泛支持和鼓励，那就太好了。然而，即使很少有人分享你的价值观，你仍然可以从中受益。

It’s not really advisable or even possible to force your values on others. What is possible, though, is to continue finding new and creative ways to reinforce those values in your own life. 把自己的价值观强加给别人是不明智的，甚至是不可能的。然而，有可能的是继续寻找新的和创造性的方法来加强你自己生活中的这些价值观。

People generally adopt values when they see those values demonstrated to be successful. As such, the best way to promote your own values is to live them in ways that make your life noticeably better. 当人们看到这些价值观被证明是成功的时，他们通常会接受这些价值观。因此，提升自己价值观的最好方法就是以使你的生活明显改善的方式生活。

A fundamental part of being a positive influence in the world is to serve as a positive influence in your own life. Living with goodness and integrity is an excellent way to promote goodness and integrity. 在世界上产生积极影响的一个基本部分是在你自己的生活中发挥积极影响。生活在善良和正直中是促进善良和正直的好方法。

People are rarely receptive to preaching, scolding, and demonization. Yet they are always eager to learn from those they respect and admire. 人们很少接受说教、责骂和妖魔化。然而，他们总是渴望向他们尊敬和钦佩的人学习。

Live according to your values, with truth, openness and authenticity. Plenty of people will notice. 按照你的价值观生活，真实，开放和真实。很多人会注意到的。
