100 Percent of the Time Is Easier Than 98 Percent of the Time
Many of us have convinced ourselves that we are able to break our own personal rules“just this once.”In our minds,we can justify these small choices.None of those things,when they first happen, feels like a life-changing decision. The marginal costs are almost always low. But each of those decisions can roll up into a much bigger picture,turning you into the kind of person you never wanted to be.That instinct to just use the marginal costs hides fro m us the true cost of our actions.
The first step down that path is taken with a small decision. You justify all the small decisions that lead up to the big one and then you get to the big one and it doesn't seem so enormous anymore. You don't realize the road you are on until you look up and see you've arrived at a destination you would have once considered unthinkable.
100%的坚持要比98%的坚持更容易实现
许多人都曾经这样说服自己，我们可以打破自己的规则一次，下不为例。就这样，我们为这些小选择做辩护。所有这些事情，当它们第一次发生时，都不会被认为是改变人生的决定。边际成本总是很低的。但是这样的决定总会越滚越大，最终把你变成你从来都不想成为的那种人。也就是说，边际成本让我们看不到仅此一次的行为真正需要付出的代价。
走上错误条路的第一步，源于你认为微不足道的一个小决定。当你做出许多会积少成多的决策后，就相当做了一个大决策，那些决定都不那么巨大的。当你回头反省时，才意识到你已经走到根本没想到过的终点。
