This document introduces the 90/10 principle, which states that 10% of life circumstances are outside of our control, but 90% is determined by our reactions. The author provides an example of how reacting negatively to a spilled cup of coffee can ruin one's whole day, while responding positively could make it a good day. The key message is that we cannot control everything that happens to us, but we can control how we choose to react, and our reactions largely determine our experiences and outcomes. Applying the 90/10 principle by choosing positive reactions can significantly improve one's life and well-being.
Stephen R. Covey discusses the 90/10 principle:
- 90% of what happens is determined by our reaction, while only 10% of events are outside our control, like someone else's actions or equipment malfunctions.
- How we react to the 10% out of our control determines our experience of the remaining 90%. If we react poorly to unexpected events, it can negatively impact our day and relationships.
- In an example, spilling food on a uniform is 10%, but cursing at the person makes the situation worse by damaging the friendship. Responding calmly keeps the focus on solutions rather than blame.
The document discusses the 90/10 principle developed by Stephen Covey which states that 10% of life is made up of events outside our control, while 90% is determined by our reactions to those events. It provides an example of how reacting negatively to a spilled cup of coffee can negatively impact one's entire day, while reacting positively avoids creating further issues. The principle suggests people have control over their reactions but not the initial events. Applying the 90/10 principle by controlling reactions can reduce stress and improve life.

The 90/10 principle states that 10% of life is made up of external events outside of our control, while 90% is determined by our reactions to what happens. How we react to situations, both positive and negative, largely dictates our experiences. The document provides an example of how reacting negatively to a spilled cup of coffee can ruin one's whole day, while responding positively can prevent negative consequences. It encourages applying the principle by not letting external factors like traffic or delays affect one's mood and instead focusing on how one can respond constructively. Mastering this principle can significantly reduce unnecessary stress and problems in life.
The document is a letter from an oil company to "Mother Earth" requesting permission to drill for natural gas using hydraulic fracturing techniques. It acknowledges concerns about environmental impacts and contamination but dismisses them, promising to clean up afterward. It emphasizes the economic benefits of drilling while glossing over risks and ignoring concerns raised by regulators and environmental critics.
The 90/10 principle states that 10% of what happens in a person's life is outside of their control, but 90% is determined by how they react to the situations they face. While some events can't be controlled, like spilling coffee, one's reaction is what influences how the rest of the day unfolds. Reacting calmly and rationally, rather than angrily or stressfully, allows a person to avoid negative consequences and have a more positive experience overall. How we respond is key to determining the outcome and quality of our lives according to this principle.

The 90/10 Principle states that 10% of life is made up of uncontrollable external events, while 90% is determined by our internal reactions to what happens. Two scenarios are presented where a spilled cup of coffee starts both days, but the reactions differ greatly, leading to very different outcomes. While we cannot control what happens, we can control how we choose to react, which largely dictates whether the event will negatively or positively impact our day and relationships. Learning to react properly by not letting negative comments or events get to us is key to applying this principle to reduce stress and improve life.

The 90/10 Principle
What is this Principle?
10% of life is made up
of what happens to you.
…90% of life is decided by
how you react…
What does this mean?
We really have NO control
over 10% of what happens to us.
The 90/10 Principle by Stephen Covey explains that only 10% of our lives are determined by external events outside of our control, while 90% is determined by our reactions to those events. It encourages developing patience and forgiveness by controlling our reactions in challenging situations rather than blaming outside factors. Applying this principle can reduce stress and prevent minor issues from escalating by maintaining perspective and responding thoughtfully rather than impulsively. The document provides examples of how maintaining a calm demeanor and forgiving attitude can transform a potentially bad day into a good one despite circumstances outside our control.
The 90/10 Principle states that 10% of life is made up of external events outside of our control, while 90% is determined by our reactions to what happens. How we respond to situations, both positive and negative, has far more impact on our happiness and success than the events themselves. The document provides an example of how one negative event, a spilled cup of coffee, can lead to a terrible day if reacted to poorly with anger and stress, versus a minimal impact if the reaction is calm and rational. It encourages applying this principle by letting negative comments or unexpected delays roll off without affecting our mood, as our reactions are truly what influence our experiences the most. Controlling our responses is the key to avoiding unnecessary suffering
The 90/10 principle states that 10% of life is made up of external events outside of our control, while 90% is determined by our reactions to what happens. How we react to situations, both positive and negative, has a significant impact on our outcomes and experiences. Applying the principle, one can maintain a positive outlook and avoid letting uncontrollable events ruin their day by choosing to react constructively rather than destructively. Mastering our reactions allows us to rise above circumstances and remain in control of the majority of life's aspects.
The 90/10 principle states that 10% of life is made up of external events outside of our control, while 90% is determined by our internal reactions to what happens. How we react to situations, both positive and negative, largely dictates our experiences. The document provides an example of how one negative event, coffee being spilled, could lead to two very different outcomes depending on the person's reaction. It emphasizes that while we cannot control everything that happens, we can control how we respond and allow external factors to affect us. Mastering our reactions through a positive mindset as guided by the 90/10 principle can significantly improve our lives by avoiding unnecessary stress and problems.

Discover the 90/10 Principle.
發現了 90/10 的定律。
It will change your life (at least the way you react to situations).
它將改變你的一生(最低限度,它將改變你對不同情況的反應)。
What is this principle? 10% of life is made up of what happens to you. 90% of life is
decided by how you react.
90/10 的定律是什麼?生命的 10% 是由你的際遇所組成,餘下的 90% 則由你的反應
而決定。
What does this mean? We really have no control over 10% of what happens to us. We
cannot stop the car from breaking down. The plane will be late arriving, which throws
our whole schedule off. A driver may cut us off in traffic.
這意味著什麼?我們無法掌握那 10% 的際遇。 我們無法阻止行程因汽車壞掉、航班
誤點,甚或車子拋錨而延誤。
We have no control over this 10%. The other 90% is different. You determine the
other 90%.
我們無法控制那 10% 的際遇,但餘下的 90% 則不然。你可以決定餘下的 90% 。
How? ……….By your reaction.
如何? … 憑你的反應。
You cannot control a red light. But you can control your reaction. Don't let people fool
you; YOU can control how you react.
你不能控制交通燈轉紅,但你能夠控制你的反應。別讓他人愚弄你,你能夠控制你的反
應。
Let's use an example.
讓我們舉個例子。
You are eating breakfast with your family. Your daughter knocks over a cup of coffee
2. onto your business shirt. You have no control over what just happened.
你與你的家人吃早餐,你的女兒不小心把咖啡潑倒在你的襯衫上,這是你無法控制的情
況。
What happens next will be determined by how you react.
下一步將如何則由你的反應而定。
You curse.
你開始責罵。
You harshly scold your daughter for knocking the cup over. She breaks down in
tears. After scolding her, you turn to your spouse and criticize her for placing the cup
too close to the edge of the table. A short verbal battle follows. You storm upstairs
and change your shirt. Back downstairs, you find your daughter has been too busy
crying to finish breakfast and get ready for school. She misses the bus.
你狠狠地臭罵女兒一頓,令她陷於痛苦之中。然後你又把怨氣發洩在太太身上,責難她
把咖啡放在桌邊。接踵而來的是一場短暫的罵戰。你生氣地上樓更換你的襯衫。你下
樓,然後發現你的女兒正哭著吃早餐並趕著回校。結果,她錯過了巴士。
Your spouse must leave immediately for work. You rush to the car and drive your
daughter to school. Because you are late, you drive 40 miles an hour in a 30 mph
speed limit.
你的太太趕著上班,你匆忙開車把女兒送回學校。因為你已經遲到了,你以時速四十英
里在一條限速三十英里 上的道路前進。
After a 15-minute delay and throwing $60 traffic fine away, you arrive at school. Your
daughter runs into the building without saying goodbye. After arriving at the office 20
minutes late, you find you forgot your briefcase. Your day has started terrible. As it
continues, it seems to get worse and worse. You look forward to coming home.
你付了六十元道路罰款,終於抵達學校,並已遲到十五分鐘。你的女兒沒有跟你道別便
已跑進學校。你回到公司,已是九時二十分了,這時你竟然發現──你忘了帶公事包。這
是非常糟糕的一天,而你感到你的運氣每況越下,你開始渴望回家。
When you arrive home, you find small wedge in your relationship with your spouse
and daughter.
當你下班回家,你感到你與太太及女兒的關係上出現微小裂痕。
Why? …. Because of how you reacted in the morning.
為什麼? … 一切皆由你早上的反應而起。
Why did you have a bad day?
為何你會有如此糟糕的一天?
A) Did the coffee cause it? A)是咖啡所造成的嗎?
B) Did your daughter cause it? B)是你的女兒所造成的嗎?
C) Did the policeman cause it? C)是警察所造成的嗎?
D) Did you cause it? D)是你所造成的嗎?
3. The answer is “D". 答案是D。
You had no control over what happened with the coffee. How you reacted in those 5
seconds is what caused your bad day.
你無法控制女兒打翻咖啡一事,但你在緊接那五秒內的反應讓霉運開始發生。
Here is what could have and should have happened.
以下是你改寫命運的結局。
Coffee splashes over you. Your daughter is about to cry. You gently say, "Its ok
honey, you just need to be more careful next time". Grabbing a towel you rush
upstairs. After grabbing a new shirt and your briefcase, you come back down in time to
look through the window and see your child getting on the bus. She turns and
waves. You arrive 5 minutes early and cheerfully greet the staff. Your boss
comments on how good the day you are having.
咖啡翻倒在你身上,你的女兒幾乎要哭了,但你溫柔地說:「親愛的,這並不算什麼,
但你下次得小心一點了。」你拿起毛巾便上樓去。在你更衣完畢並拿起你的公事包後,
你下樓去,望出窗外,你看到你的孩子正在上巴士。她回頭並向你揮手。你早了五分鐘
回到公司,並親切地與你的同事打招呼。你的上司亦對你新的一天給予正面的評價。
Notice the difference?
看到兩者的分別嗎?
Two different scenarios. Both started the same. Both ended different.
兩個不同的情景,由同一個開首所引起。但結局完全兩樣。
Why?
為什麼?
Because of how you REACTED.
皆因你的反應而起。
You really do not have any control over 10% of what happens. The other 90% was
determined by your reaction.
你或許真的無法掌控 10% 的際遇,但剩下的 90% 則可以由你的反應而定。
Here are some ways to apply the 90/10 principle. If someone says something
negative about you, don't be a sponge. Let the attack roll off like water on glass. You
don't have to let the negative comment affect you!
以下有一些實踐 90/10 定律的方法。如有人說起你的是非,千萬別當一塊「海綿」,讓
那些攻擊性的說話像水在玻璃上一般的流走。別讓那些負面評價纏繞著你!
React properly and it will not ruin your day. A wrong reaction could result in losing a
friend, being fired, getting stressed out etc.
適當的回應能夠使你的生活免受破壞。一個錯誤的反應能夠使你失去朋友、生氣、甚或
被壓力壓得喘不過氣來。
How do you react if someone cuts you off in traffic? Do you lose your temper? Pound on
the steering wheel? A friend of mine had the steering wheel fall off) Do you
4. curse? Does your blood pressure skyrocket? Do you try and bump them?
如果車子拋錨了,你會如何感想?你會生氣嗎?你會否猛擊車上的鐵鍊?我的一個朋友
就把鐵鍊弄下來!你會怒罵嗎?你的血壓是否急速上升?你會否嘗試去踫擊他們?
WHO CARES if you arrive ten seconds later at work? Why let the cars ruin your drive?
誰會在意你上班遲到了十秒?為何讓車子破壞你的駕駛過程?
Remember the 90/10 principle, and do not worry about it.
記著 90/10 的定律,別在意。

Why lose sleep and get irritated? It will work out. Use your worrying energy and time
into finding another job.
你為何失眠與憤怒 ? 事情總是發生了。不如用你憂心的力量及時間去找尋新工作吧!
The plane is late; it is going to mangle your schedule for the day. Why take outpour
frustration on the flight attendant? She has no control over what is going on.
航班延誤了,而它將影響你一整天的行程。為何將你的怒氣發洩在服務員的身上?她並
不能阻止事情發生。
Use your time to study, get to know the other passenger. Why get stressed out? It
will just make things worse.
