Change is considerably easier when you have a full complement of supporting partners and unlimited resources. But, since very often it is the shock of a death, divorce or some other life tragedy that unceremoniously tosses us out of our comfort zone to fend for ourselves, it can mean being forced to strike out alone which for many of us is the scariest part of all.
当你有很多合作伙伴和无尽的资源时,改变就更容易发生了。但是,由于这种变化往往是来自于身边的人去世的打击、离婚或是其他的一些人生悲剧,而且这些变化又毫无征兆地将我们赶出了自己的舒适圈,使我们不得不自己照顾自己,所以这样的变化也意味着我们要被迫独自面对很多事情,这也是很多人最害怕的事情。
Probably the most difficult thing about pursuing significant change is doing it when you don’t have the knowledge, financial or emotional tools available to make the process go smoothly.
也许,在进行显著改变时遇到的最困难的事情,就是即便对相关知识一无所知,也缺少财务支持或情感工具,却还是要顺利完成。
However, as difficult as it can be, sometimes reaching our full potential means working without a net. Or, as Tony Robbins says, "If you want to take the island, burn the f’ing boats!"
然而,不管有多难,有时想要达到我们潜能的极限,其实只需在工作时摆脱网络的束缚。换言之,正如托尼• 罗宾斯所说,“如果你想去岛上,就烧了这些该死的船!”
For those truly dedicated to their mission, having fewer resources and no backup or fallback plan can be a surprising blessing as it forces you to get creative and forge new paths.
而对于那些真正致力于完成自己使命的人来说,缺少资源、备份或应急计划都会被看作是一个意外之礼,因为这促使你变得更具创造力,懂得另辟蹊径。
I don’t know if it’s possible to leave this world with zero regrets. Because of the natural life cycles and the fact that sometimes it’s the tragedy that causes our awakenings we often have our epiphanies too late to avoid certain painful outcomes.
我不知道是否有可能在离开这个世界时不留任何遗憾。因为自然生命周期有限,也只有悲剧结局,才能让我们清醒,这使我们时常顿悟得太晚,以致于无法避免那些令人痛苦的结局。
However, it is indefensible to can claim ignorance to the possible ramifications of continued inaction. The choice belongs to each and every one of us. We all have the power to change both our thoughts and behavior thereby giving more intentional direction to the remainder of our lives.
然而,把持续的无作为所导致的后果归因为无知是站不住脚的。选择权在我们每一个人手中。我们都可以改变自己的思想和行为,去为之后的生活确立更明确的方向。
I Paid For A Young Woman's Groceries
我为一个女孩买了杂货
I was in line at Trader Joe's and the young woman in front of me had her card declined, she embarrassedly handed the cashier another card, which was also declined and then a final card that was approved for just $5.47.
我在乔氏超市连锁店排着队,排在我前面女孩的银行卡因为余额不足被退回了,于是她不好意思地递给收银员另一张卡,但还是因为同样的理由被退回了,最后她又拿出了一张卡,但余额显示只有5.47美元。
She asked the cashier to cancel the transaction. The cashier motions for manager. I smile and offer to pay the balance, which was $20 something dollars.
无奈之下,她只能让收银员取消交易。收银员示意了经理。我微笑了一下,然后帮女孩付了余款。
The woman was very thankful, the cashier was happy.
女孩很感激,收银员看到这一幕感到非常欣喜。
On my way out the manager handed me a bouquet of mixed flowers. He didn't say anything, just held the flowers out to me.
就在我走出超市时,经理递给了我一束花。但他什么也没说,只是把花递给了我。
I saw he was overcomed with emotion. I suspected that if he opened his mouth he would start to cry. I accepted the flowers with thanks and walked out feeling that, for just a few moments, the world had become a better place.
我看得出他是在克制情绪。我甚至怀疑他一旦张开嘴巴就会开始哭起来。我收下了花,并向他道谢。在我走出超市的那一刻,感觉世界都美好了起来。
You want to know the secret to success? Here it is:
你想知道成功的秘诀吗?下面我就告诉你:
Believe in yourself so much, that no one else can tell you otherwise.
要足够相信自己,这样就没有人能对你指手画脚了。
Also doubt yourself so much, that you feel like no matter how hard you work nothing could ever get you to your goal.
也要足够怀疑自己,总是感觉无论自己多么努力,好像也永远无法实现目标。
Work so hard, that your friends think you're crazy.
工作要足够努力,让朋友都觉得你疯了。
Be ridiculed, be shunned, be ignored, be told no. Get shut down so many times that you become immune to it. That it drives you, and gives you energy.
被嘲笑、被回避、被忽视、被泼冷水、被阻止的次数多了,你就习惯了,这些都是你的动力,能给你力量。
Set boundaries for yourself. IE don't spend your money going to every show.
为自己设定界限。也就是说不要花钱把所有演出都看了。
Also, go get inspired. Take yourself out of your work cycle, remind yourself why you are working yourself to the bone.
而且要寻找启发。从日复一日的工作中抽出身来,提醒自己拼命工作是为了什么。
Give EVERYTHING to your craft. If there's someone in your life or something you do that prevents you from working 25 hours a day, get rid of it.
全身心投入工作。如果生活中有人或事妨碍你一天工作25小时,就把他们赶出你的生活。
Ingrain the idea in your mind that NOTHING will get you where you want to be other than hard work.
头脑中要有一个根深蒂固的想法,那就是只有努力工作才能帮你实现目标。
Keep working so hard, that eventually what you are doing isn't work. It's who you are. And now people are taking notice. Your parents believe in you; your friends support you.
坚持努力工作,最终你不是在做工作,而是在做人。人们都会注意你,家人会信任你,朋友会支持你。
Keep doubting yourself. Always know that there's something else better out there that you have to keep working harder than you did yesterday to achieve.
要一直自我怀疑。你要知道前方总是有比你昨天已经实现的目标更好的东西等待你去为之努力。
Enjoy yourself. Be happy. Be grateful, be humble.
享受生活。要开心、感恩、谦卑。
Keep working your ass off so you can make every single day of your life as good as this one, and better than the day before it.
拼命工作,你才能使每天都这么美好,每天都比前一天更美好。

My l4-year-old son, John, and I spotted the coat simultaneously. It was hanging on a rack at a secondhand clothing store in Northampton Mass, crammed in with shoddy trench coats and an assortment of sad, woolen overcoats -- a rose among thorns. 在马萨诸塞州北安普顿市的一家出售二手服装的店里,我和我14岁的儿子约翰同时盯上了那件大衣。它就挂在衣架上,夹在劣质的军用风雨衣和各式各样寒酸的羊毛大衣当中,然而它却像荆棘丛中的一朵玫瑰。 While the other coats drooped, this one looked as if it were holding itself up. The thick, black wool of the double-breasted chesterfield was soft and unworn, as though it had been preserved in mothballs for years in dead old Uncle Henry's steamer trunk. The coat had a black velvet collar, beautiful tailoring, a Fifth Avenue label and an unbelievable price of $28. We looked at each other, saying nothing, but John's eyes gleamed. Dark, woolen topcoats were popular just then with teenage boys, but could cost several hundred dollars new. This coat was even better, bearing that touch of classic elegance from a bygone era. 其他的大衣都显得没精打采,惟独这件衣服趾高气扬。厚厚的黑色羊绒柔软而蓬松,这件双排扣暗钮长大衣显然还没上过身,看样子,就像用樟脑球在老亨利叔叔的扁平旅行箱里保存了多年。其做工精细:领子是黑天鹅绒的,商标是第五大街的,价钱让人难以置信,只卖28美元。我们彼此看着对方,一言不发,可约翰的眼里却闪着欣喜的光。黑色的羊绒轻便大衣那时在小伙子们中很流行,买一件新的要花好几百美元,而这一件质地更好一些,还带有一种逝去年代的古典美。 John slid his arms down into the heavy satin lining of the sleeves and buttoned the coat. He turned from side to side, eyeing himself in the mirror with a serious, studied expression that soon changed into a smile. The fit was perfect. 约翰将胳膊伸进了袖管里——衬里是厚厚的缎子,系上了扣子。他在镜子面前转过来调过去地打量着自己,脸上的严肃表情不一会儿就变成了微笑。衣服合身极了。 John wore the coat to school the next day and came home wearing a big grin. "Ho. did the kids like your coat?" I asked. "They loved it," he said, carefully folding it over the back of a chair and smoothing it flat. I started calling him "Lord Chesterfield" and "The Great Gatsby." 第二天约翰就穿着它去上学了。放学回来他笑逐颜开。我问他:“那些孩子觉得你的大衣怎么样?”“他们非常喜欢。”他一边说,一边在椅子背儿上把衣服仔细地叠起来,并甩手把它展平。我于是就开始叫他“切斯特菲尔德大人”和“了不起的盖茨比”。 Over the next few weeks, a change came over John. Agreement replaced contrariness, quiet, reasoned discussion replaced argument. He became more judicious, more mannerly, more thoughtful, eager to please. “Good dinner, Mom," he would say every evening. 在接下来的几周内,约翰慢慢地变了:变得听话而不再故意作对,遇事能心平气和地商讨而不再强词夺理。他变得更明事理、更有礼貌,也更体贴人了。他也乐于讨人欢喜。每天晚上都要说:“妈妈,晚饭好极了。” He would generously loan his younger brother his tapes and lecture him on the niceties of behaviour; without a word of objection, he would carry in wood for the stove. One day when I suggested that he might start on homework before dinner, John -- a veteran procrastinator – said, “You’re right. I guess I will.” 他会很慷慨地把自己的磁带借给弟弟,并告诫他如何有良好的行为举止;他会毫无怨言地把烧炉子用的劈柴抱进来。有一天当我建议他在晚饭前开始做作业时,约翰这个一贯拖拉的家伙居然说:“您是对的,我想我会做的。” When I mentioned this incident to one of his teachers and remarked that I didn't know what caused the changes, she said laughing. "It must be his coat!" Another teacher told him she was giving him a good mark not only because he had earned it but because she liked his coat. At the library, we ran into a friend who had not seen our children in a long time, “Could this be John?" he asked, looking up to John's new height, assessing the cut of his coat and extending his hand, one gentleman to another. 当我对他的一个老师提起这件事,并说我不知道这是为什么时,她笑着说:“一定是因为他的大衣!”另一个老师告诉他,她要给他一个好成绩,不仅仅因为他理应获得,还因为她喜欢他的大衣。在图书馆里我们遇见了一位朋友,他已经很长时间没有看见我们的孩子了。看着约翰长高的个子,品评着他大衣的样式,这位朋友不禁问道:“这是约翰吗?” 同时向约翰伸出了手,完全是绅士间的行为。 John and I both know we should never mistake a person's clothes for the real person within them. But there is something to be said for wearing a standard of excellence for the world to see, for practising standards of excellence in though, speech, and behaviour, and for matching what is on the inside to what is on the outside. 约翰和我都知道不应该以貌取人,可穿着优雅为世人看,在思想上、言语上、行动上实践优秀的标准,以达到内外的和谐统一,这又另当别论。 Sometimes, watching John leave for school, I've remembered with a keen sting what it felt like to be in the eighth grade -- a time when it was as easy to try on different approaches to life as it was to try on a coat. The whole world, the whole future is stretched out ahead, a vast panorama where all the doors are open. And if I were there right now, I would picture myself walking through those doors wearing my wonderful, magical coat. 有时看着约翰上学去,我就不禁怦然心动,想起自己上8年级时的感觉——那时尝试不同的生活方式就如同试衣服一样简单。整个世界、整个未来在你面前展开,犹如一幅巨大的画卷,那里的每一扇门都敞开着。如果此刻我能回到那儿,我会在这些门间穿行,身上就穿着那件奇妙的、带有魔力的大衣。来源:考试大-专四专八考试

怎么写好 英语 作文 呢?大家不妨多看几篇150字的英语作文,积累素材,练习写作。以下是我为大家整理的,英语作文150字,希望大家喜欢。 150字的英语作文一 In times of crisis--a debilitating illness or loss of one's home--money can come in pretty handy. But for all its benefits, it cannot fortify you against the inevitable pain and sadness that follow the crisis. For that, researchers say, you need close friendships. "Human beings are hard-wired to be social animals". "They're not built to handle things alone." 150字的英语作文二 If jobs are so important, wouldn't salary size be a gauge of job satisfaction? Americans think so. A survey found that almost 70 percent of the respondents said they would be happier if their families had twice as much household income. Yet studies show that job satisfaction comes less from how much people earn than from the challenge of their jobs and the control they are able to exert. Work that doesn't engage a person will never seem rewarding, no matter how lucrative it becomes. 150字的英语作文三 Philosophers rarely necessary because of the money because they believe that money can bring happiness is very limited. As Epicurus said: more money will not be more than happy to make money has been achieved limited level. Whether this understanding, it is because they have another way to enjoy a happy, have a mind. It is the joy and spirit of comparison, the material can bring the joy of showing its limited only to the spirit of happiness can be unlimited. Therefore, the sage is a common feature: on the one hand, as happy to see the limited material, the material will be able to at least enable them to meet; On the other hand, because the spirit of boundless desire to be happy, no amount of material does not allow them to meet. 150字的英语作文四 A six-figure income affords a family many pleasures-- a more luxurious home, perhaps a trip to Disneyland or a fancier car. But do such things make you happier? Pleasure is not the same as happiness. Pleasure is a temporary release. Happiness comes from experiences in which one's mental and emotional energies are invested. Just as happy families value pleasures that involve personal effort, so they value possessions that have personal meaning, like Grandma's wedding ring. Unhappy people,however, are more likely to prize possessions because of their cost or utility, a car that handles well or an expensive necklace. Happiness is a permanent vacation.Would you quit your job if you didn' t need the money?Many Americans said quitting work was an important reason to be rich. Yet researchers find that work is one of life's chief satisfactions for people. A job, studies show, is more than a paycheck. Doing something well can increase confidence and self-worth.英语作文150字相关推荐: 1. 初中150字英语作文 2. 100~150字英语美文 3. 高中英语作文自我介绍150字 4. 初中150字英文作文 5. 求职信英语作文150字
