【雙語(yǔ)閱讀】我們應(yīng)該拋在腦后的10個(gè)想法

   
    A new way of thinking has become the necessary condition for responsible living and acting. If you want to move forward, you must change your way of thinking and leave these thoughts behind you:
    負(fù)責(zé)任的生活和行為方式需要新的思維方式。如果你想要繼續(xù)前行，你就必須改變思維方式，把這10種想法拋在腦后：

    1. “I don’t have a choice.”
    我別無(wú)選擇。
    You write your own destiny through the choices you make. You become what you repeatedly do. It is more important to know where you are going and why, than to get there quickly. Every time you are tempted to react to the same old circumstances in the same old way, ask yourself, “Do I want to be a prisoner of the past, or a pioneer of the future?”
    所當(dāng)你做下選擇，你就寫下了自己的命運(yùn)。你重復(fù)做什么樣的事，你就會(huì)成為什么樣的人。與其想著迅速到達(dá)目的地，還不如清楚知道自己要去哪，為什么要去。每當(dāng)你被誘惑在相同的環(huán)境里用相同的方式去做什么事時(shí)，問(wèn)問(wèn)自己：“我要做過(guò)去的囚犯，還是成為未來(lái)的開(kāi)拓者？”

    2. “Life is easy.”
    生活很容易。
    Life is NOT easy, it IS difficult. That’s the greatest truth there is. It’s great because once you understand and accept this truth, you can move forward with your life. Once you thoroughly know in your heart and mind that life is difficult, then life gets a lot easier to deal with. Because once difficulty is accepted as a foundation, it no longer surprises you or stops you from building a lifestyle that rises above it.
    生活不易，它其實(shí)很艱難，那也是生活最偉大的事實(shí)。這是因?yàn)橐坏┠愣�得并接受了這個(gè)事實(shí)，你的生活將會(huì)勇往前行。當(dāng)你在心中徹底明白了生活的艱難，那生活會(huì)變得更加容易應(yīng)對(duì)。因?yàn)槔щy一旦被視為事實(shí)和前提，那么它就再也不會(huì)讓你驚訝，再也不會(huì)阻礙你去建立一個(gè)更好的生活方式。

    3. “The way it is now is the way it will always be.”
    現(xiàn)在是什么樣子，將來(lái)就是什么樣子。
    Don’t confuse your path with your destination. Just because it’s stormy now, doesn’t mean you aren’t headed for sunshine. And remember, you cannot heal a lifetime of pain overnight; be patient with yourself, it takes as long as it takes, but your happiness is worth the wait.
    你要去的目的地，和通往目的地的道路，這兩個(gè)別弄混了。不要因?yàn)楝F(xiàn)在狂風(fēng)暴雨，就確定日后不會(huì)陽(yáng)光普照。要記住，一生的疼痛不可能一夜之間治愈，對(duì)自己耐心點(diǎn)，它該花多長(zhǎng)時(shí)間就花多長(zhǎng)時(shí)間，幸福值得等待。

    4. “The sky is falling.”
    天快塌下來(lái)了。
    When everything in your life is coming together, you can hold on to the belief that ‘everything happens for a reason’ with frivolous ease. But when everything’s falling apart – your relationships, your health, your finances, etc. – it takes tremendous effort to wrap your mind and heart around that belief and hold onto it for dear life. Yet you must. For in that belief lies your hope, your courage, and your strength to move forward.
    當(dāng)生活中的一切都非常美好時(shí)，你可以輕輕松松相信：“任何事情的發(fā)生都是有原因的”。但當(dāng)感情、健康、金錢等等一切分崩離析時(shí)，你得用盡全力才能堅(jiān)持這個(gè)信念，你必須去堅(jiān)持。因?yàn)檫@個(gè)信念里有你的希望，你的勇氣和你繼續(xù)前行的動(dòng)力。

    5. “Everyone else is doing better than me.”
    別人都比我做得好。
    Do not feed your insecurities, or they will consume you. Sometimes the reason we struggle with insecurity is because we compare our behind-the-scenes circumstances with everyone else’s public highlight reel. We listen to the noise of the world, instead of ourselves. So stop the comparisons; listen to your own inner voice and your own soul.
    不要再去縱容自己那點(diǎn)不安全感了，有一天它們會(huì)毀了你。有時(shí)我們糾纏于不安全感，是因?yàn)槲覀儼炎约旱哪缓蠛退�人的臺(tái)前光環(huán)進(jìn)行比較（缺點(diǎn)比優(yōu)點(diǎn)）。我們聽(tīng)著來(lái)自世界的各種噪音，就是不去傾聽(tīng)自己的內(nèi)心。所以停止比較，聽(tīng)聽(tīng)自己的內(nèi)心，自己的靈魂世界吧！

    6. “That’s unrealistic.”
    那不現(xiàn)實(shí)。
    To be successful, you have to be a little unrealistic. You have to believe that something totally different than what has happened for an eternity can happen. Think about it. Being realistic doesn’t change anything; being unrealistic does. Doesn’t it seem a bit unrealistic to be able to walk into a dark space, hit a switch, and instantly fill the entire space with light? Fortunately Thomas Edison didn’t think so.
    要想成功，你還得變得有點(diǎn)不現(xiàn)實(shí)。你必須相信，世界上總有和永遠(yuǎn)存在發(fā)生的現(xiàn)狀完全不同的事物。仔細(xì)想想。變得現(xiàn)實(shí)不會(huì)改變一切，但不現(xiàn)實(shí)卻可以。在黑暗空間里行走，碰一下開(kāi)關(guān)，瞬間就會(huì)點(diǎn)亮整個(gè)空間——是不是顯得有些不現(xiàn)實(shí)？還好愛(ài)迪生不這么認(rèn)為。

    7. “I wish.”
    我希望。
    The best thing you can do for yourself is to stop saying “I wish,” start saying “I will,” and then go do something about it. The world isn’t going to dominate itself. You just have to wake up one morning and decide that you don’t want to feel like this anymore, ever again. And then make a change, just like that.
    你能為自己做的最棒的事情就是停止說(shuō)“我希望”，而開(kāi)始說(shuō)“我將要”，然后采取行動(dòng)。世界無(wú)法自我主宰，你需要在某天早晨醒來(lái)告訴自己：你再也不想要這樣下去了。然后開(kāi)始改變，就是這樣。

    8. “It’s too late.”
    一切都太晚了。
    Believing it’s too late is the end of your journey; believing in yourself is an endless destination. Trust yourself. Break the rules. Don’t be afraid to fail. Ignore those who doubt you. Work your butt off. And be sure to give something back before you’re done.
    你若相信“太晚了”，你的成功之路也就終止了。相信自己才會(huì)使未來(lái)之路變得無(wú)限可能。信賴自己，打破條條框框，不要畏懼失敗。藐視那些懷疑你的人，排除雜念，還要確保你在到達(dá)目的地之前給予一些回饋。

    9. “I can’t.”
    我做不到。
    Nobody is going to blindside you and hit you as hard as life will. Sometimes life will beat you to the ground, and keep you there if you let it. But it’s not about how hard life can hit you; it’s about how hard you can be hit while continuing to move forward. That’s what true strength is. And that’s what winning the game of life is all about.
    生活會(huì)打擊你，使你攻其不備挫敗連連，這就是生活。有時(shí)候生活將會(huì)把你擊敗到谷底，如果你聽(tīng)之任之，你就永遠(yuǎn)只能在谷底。關(guān)鍵不在于生活多么猛烈的打擊，而在于你在這猛烈打擊之后還能奮然前進(jìn)，這才是真正的力量。這也是成功人生的全部。

    10. “This situation couldn’t get any worse.”
    情況不能更糟了。
    Nothing is good or bad, as thinking makes it so. Be determined to be cheerful and happy in whatever situation you may find yourself. For you will eventually learn that the greater part of your happiness or unhappiness is determined not by your specific circumstances, but by your disposition and perspective.
    凡事沒(méi)有好壞，一切在于你的態(tài)度。無(wú)論身處什么處境，你都應(yīng)該堅(jiān)定地保持開(kāi)心愉悅。因?yàn)樽詈�，你�?huì)懂得你絕大部分的開(kāi)心或郁悶不是取決于你所處的某個(gè)具體環(huán)境，而在于看待事物的態(tài)度。
