Your life story is an expression of who you are; the words you choose to use shape this story. Your words create the essence of your inner culture and the core of your identity and destiny.
你的生活故事就是你是谁的真实表现;你选择使用的词汇塑造了你的故事,你的词汇创造了你内在文化的本质和你身份与命运的核心。
Your ability to write a happy life story hinges on your language. It is your inner and outer verbal expression that makes your joy possible and that infuses your life with purpose, meaning and vitality.
你能否写出一个快乐的生活故事取决于你的语言。你内在和外在的言语表达使你变得欢乐,而且将目标、意义、生命力注入你的生活。
So today I challenge you to say…
所以今天我希望你说……
1. “I have a choice.”
“我可以选择。”
It is not your talents or abilities, but your choices that ultimately decide your fate. You ARE your choices.
你的命运不是由你的天赋或是能力决定的,而是由你的选择决定了你最终的命运。你就是你的选择。
Until you can look at yourself in the mirror and honestly say, “I have a choice. I am here now because of the choices I’ve made in the past,” you will never be able to say, “I choose differently.”
直到你能看着镜子中的自己然后诚实地说,“我可以选择,我现在能变成这样是因为我过去做的那些选择,” 你才可能有资格说:“我还有不同的选择。”
2. “Let’s get started!”
“我们开始吧!”
You can’t build anything wonderful with ideas of what you are going to do someday. If you want something, you have to make a little noise, declare it and then get started.
光想你可能有朝一日要去实践的点子,你是无法成就任何精彩事业的。如果你想要什么,你必须要低调,宣布你的决心然后就开始行动。
A goal is far more than a mental exercise. In fact, without the intent of action a goal is nothing more than a lie. Make your decisions real and present in your life; give them the time and attention they deserve.
目标不只是脑力锻炼这么简单。事实上,没有行动的意图,目标只不过是一个谎言。要让你的决定变成事实而且呈现在你的生活中;要花适当的时间和精力去实现它们。
3. “I have what it takes.”
“我具备所需的条件。”
The worst enemy of today is your self-doubt. The moment you doubt whether you can do something is the moment it becomes impossible for you.
现在最大的敌人是你的自我怀疑。当你怀疑自己能否完成一些事情的时候,就是你不可能完成这些事情的开始。
You have to believe in yourself. You have to trust yourself. You might be nervous, but do not you ever let any source of negativity in the world convince you that you don’t have what it takes.
你必须要相信你自己,你必须要信任你自己。你可能会紧张,但任何时候,你都不能让这个世界上任何的负面资源影响你,让你相信你并不具备所需的条件。
Give yourself a pep talk if you need one. State some facts, some evidence of your greatness. Recall your past victories. Speak them out loud – “I aced that test.” “I earned that big raise.” “I ran that 5K without stopping.” “My best friend loved my wedding speech.” And so on and so forth… Give a positive voice to your past victories and you will find the strength to repeat history.
如果需要你可以给自己打气。说出一些事实,给出一些你很棒的证据。回想你过去的成功,然后大声地讲出来——“我在考试中得了A。” “我获得了大幅度加薪。” “我不休息连续跑了五公里。” “我最好的朋友喜欢我写的婚礼祝词。” 等等…… 给你过去的成功一个积极的声音,然后你就能找到力量去重复这些成功。
4. “Hello, how can I help you?”
“你好,需要帮忙吗?”
In life, you get what you put in.
在生活中,你付出什么,就会得到什么。
Generally speaking, the unhappiest people you will ever meet will be those who are utterly self-absorbed; the happiest people you will ever meet will be those who lose themselves in the joy and challenge of helping others.
通常,你见到的最不开心的人都是那些以自我为中心的人;最快乐的人都是放弃自己的快乐并帮助他人的人。
Happiness is always attained by giving it away without expectation. Those who help others are eventually helped. You have two hands, one to help yourself and the other to help those around you. If you can lie down at night knowing in your heart that you made someone’s day just a little brighter, you have something to smile about.
幸福通常在不经意间获得。那些帮助他人的人,最终都会获得别人的帮助。你有两只手,一只帮助自己,一只帮助身边的人。当你在夜晚躺在床上回想,内心确信你让别人的一天更加愉快,你自己也就有了值得微笑的事情。
5. “Look how far I’ve come.”
“我已经走了这么远了。”
The way you move a mountain is by moving one stone at a time. Every stone you move, no matter how small, is progress.
移走一座大山的方法是每次搬走一块石头。无论石头有多小,但你挪走的每一块都是一种进步。
Sometimes it may be hard to see your progress. Sometimes it will be frustrating when the results you seek don’t appear as quickly as you had hoped. Still, you are advancing. You may be moving along slowly, but you are still moving a mountain.
有时候,想要看到自己的进步可能比较困难。有时候,当你追求的结果并没有像你期望中那样如期到来,这可能很令人沮丧。但是,你仍然在进步。也许你前进得很慢,但你仍然在努力移山。
Achievement, after all, is an enduring process, not a single event. To achieve any worthwhile goal you must cover a lot of ground. You need to learn what works by trial and error. You must explore possibilities, many of which will only show you what doesn’t work. Just keep in mind that the mistakes and setbacks are a vital part of the process.
成就毕竟是一个持久的过程,而不是一个单一事件。要实现任何有价值的目标必须涉及广泛。你必须要通过实验和错误去学习什么是管用的方法。你要去探索各种可能性,而其中很多都只是告诉你什么是行不通的,你要记住错误和挫折都是成功过程中的一个重要部分。
Take a break every now and then and pat yourself on the back. Applaud yourself for doing what needs to be done. And be careful not to spend so much time looking at how far you still have to go, that you forget to appreciate how far you’ve already come.
不时休息一下,并且自我鼓励。为你自己做的那些必须要做的事情喝彩。但你也要小心,不要花费太多的时间仰望你还要走的路,也不要忘了赞赏自己已经走了的那么远的路。
6. “I have more than enough to be happy.”
“我拥有的比足够让我快乐的还要多。”
The happiest of people aren’t the luckiest, and they usually don’t have the best of everything either. They simply make the most of everything they do have. The reason so many people are unhappy is because they tend to look at what’s missing in their life, instead of what’s present.
最幸福的人并不是最幸运的人,他们也常常不能拥有所有最好的东西。他们只是简单地把每件事情做得最好。有这么多人不幸福的原因,是因为他们光想着自己生命中失去的东西,而不是想他们现在拥有的。
Take a stand and flip the switch. Stop wishing you had more. Stop wishing you were somewhere else. Stop wishing you looked like someone else. Love your quirks enough to let them shine. Appreciate your body and use it to it’s full potential. Appreciate the things you have that so many others dream about. Scream it out loud if you must: “I am lucky to be alive! I am happy to be me right now! My life isn’t perfect, it’s just pretty darn good!”
现在就明确立场轻按下那个开关。不要再期望你拥有更多。不要再希望你在别的地方,不要再期望自己像别人一样。爱你的与众不同并让它们闪光。要感激你的身体然后发挥它最大的潜能;感激你拥有的一切,而这些也都是其他很多人梦寐以求的。如果需要的话你可以大声叫出来:“我是幸运的,因为我还活着!我很幸福能成为现在的自己!我的生活并不完美,但已经足够美好!”
7. “ … ”
“……”
That blank space denoted by “ … ” is no mistake. That space represents silence.
上面用“……”的空白并不是写错了,那些空白代表沉默。
Silence is soothing. Silence is peace. Silence is divine. The more silent you are, the more you can hear yourself think.
沉默能抚慰人心,沉默能带来平和,沉默是神圣的。你越沉默,你能听到更多自己的想法。
Have you ever heard the silence just before the sun peaks over the horizon? Or the hush of a country road at midnight? Or the peaceful calm just after a thunderstorm ends? Or perhaps you know the silence in the back of your city library, or the eager pause of an auditorium full of people when the lights dim for the main event, or, best of all, the moment just after the front door shuts and you suddenly have the whole house to yourself?
你是否曾经倾听过太阳跃出地平线前的沉默?或是午夜乡村道路的静谧?或只是一场雷雨结束后的宁静?或许你可能了解在城市图书馆后面的安静,或者是在一个坐满人的礼堂里灯光渐暗活动开始前的短暂停顿,又或者是,最好的,当你把前门关上的那一刻,突然整个房子只有你一个人在里面的安静?
Each silent moment is different, yet all are beautiful if you listen carefully. Leave enough space in your day to enjoy the space between the commotions. Say nothing, think quietly, just be and breathe.
每一种安静的瞬间都是不一样的,但如果你仔细听,它们都是很美好的。在骚乱之间,给你自己留出足够的空间去享受这一切。不要说任何事情,安静的思考和呼吸。
