埋沒你潛能的生活方式雙語
你可以不斷地向前推進(jìn)你的極限，從而大大更高的層次;結(jié)果卻發(fā)現(xiàn)你還沒有達(dá)到真正價(jià)值的一小部分。接下來，小編給大家準(zhǔn)備了埋沒你潛能的生活方式雙語,歡迎大家參考與借鑒。
埋沒你潛能的生活方式雙語
Do you know that most people never utilize more than 0.1% of their true potential in their lifetime?
你知道嗎?多數(shù)人終其一生都沒有把他們真正的潛能的0.1%使用完?
It's true. The thing is, human potential is unlimited. Unlike computers, you'll never come across a situation where your brain says the hard drive is full. You can constantly push your limits, reaching greater heights, only to find that you're not even reaching a fraction of your true worth! Believe it or not, you harness more power than you can ever imagine.
是真的。問題是：人類的潛能是無限的。電腦可能會(huì)遇到硬盤已滿的情況，而人腦絕對不會(huì)。你可以不斷地向前推進(jìn)你的極限，從而大大更高的層次;結(jié)果卻發(fā)現(xiàn)你還沒有達(dá)到真正價(jià)值的一小部分。
Unfortunately, many do not utilize their true potential, and lay it to waste by engaging in tasks that are a poor use of their time and energy. Here are 10 sure-fire ways to live below your true potential:
更不幸的是，很多人都沒有使用自己的真正價(jià)值，只把時(shí)間精力花費(fèi)在不值得的任務(wù)上。以下是10種定會(huì)讓你的真實(shí)潛能無法揮發(fā)出來的方式。
1.Harp on the past instead of focusing on the present.
1. 停留在過去而不是聚焦于當(dāng)下
Some people spend their lives living in the past. They lament about what has been, what they could have done, and why they didn't do that. However, the past is the past, and no matter how much time we spend thinking and lamenting about it, it doesn't change anything. To spend time moping about what has been is to waste the person you can be.
有些人把自己的生活停留在過去。他們抱怨著過去發(fā)生的事情，說著他們本該會(huì)怎樣，而又為什么沒能實(shí)現(xiàn)的原因。但是，過去就是過去了，不管你花費(fèi)多少時(shí)間思索追悔過去，都不會(huì)再改變什么了。把時(shí)間花在消沉過去上，就是對你可能性的浪費(fèi)。
There were times in the past when I wondered how things would have been if I did X instead of Y. Or if I did Z instead of Y. However, after that I'd ask myself, "How would this change anything?" Me sitting here and thinking about the past does absolutely nothing to change things and improve my life. Instead, it is only by thinking forward and taking action that I'm able to live a truly fulfilling life.
曾經(jīng)有一段時(shí)間，我在思索如果當(dāng)初做了X而不是Y，如果做了Z而不是Y, 那結(jié)局會(huì)怎樣呢?但是，在那之后，我問自己：“這么想能改變什么呢?”我坐著回想過去，但絕對不會(huì)對我的生活有絲毫改變和提高。反而，是往前看、動(dòng)起來才能讓我過上真正令我滿意的生活。
What kind of future do you want to create? What actions can you take to create this ideal future? What have you learned from the past that will help you in this journey? Asking and acting on questions like these will help you to maximize your present moment so you can live your best life going forward. For some practical guidance on living in the present, I recommend The Power of Now.
你想早就什么樣的未來?采取什么樣的行動(dòng)才能創(chuàng)造這樣一份理想化的未來?你從過去學(xué)到了什么?在未來的路上會(huì)幫到你嗎?發(fā)問對答這樣的問題能幫你讓當(dāng)下時(shí)刻最大化，以便讓你把最好的生活向前推進(jìn)。對于現(xiàn)有生活的一線實(shí)際的指導(dǎo)：我推薦當(dāng)下的力量。
2.Get caught up in the details vs. the big picture.
2. 受困于細(xì)節(jié)與宏大遠(yuǎn)景之間
If you're a perfectionist, you might find yourself caught up with perfecting details on a regular basis. If so, you're not alone - I'm the same way. I spend a lot of time editing the nitty-gritty, so that everything can be perfect and the way I envision it to be. For example in my articles, I can spend an hour or more looking for the perfect photo that expresses the exact intention of my article. I can spend hours just improving my blog and forums so that my readers can get the perfect experience.
如果你是個(gè)完美主義者，你可能會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)自己定期受阻于完美細(xì)節(jié)。所以，如果你獨(dú)自一人，我也是。我會(huì)花很多時(shí)間編輯事實(shí)真相，以便讓所有事情都完美，都像我想象的那樣。比如在我的文章里，我能花上一個(gè)多小時(shí)的時(shí)間尋找完美的照片，以便精確地表述我文章的含義。我能花上數(shù)小時(shí)的時(shí)間改進(jìn)我的微博和論壇，因此我的讀者們能閱讀到我完美的經(jīng)歷。
However, I have come to realize that by spending all my time on the details, I'm not making the best use of my time. According to the 80/20 principle, 80% of the results we can achieve comes from 20% of our actions. In trying to achieve the remaining 20% to get the perfect 100% outcome, we have to spend 80% more effort!
然而我逐漸意識到：把自己所有的時(shí)間都花費(fèi)在細(xì)節(jié)上，我并沒有最好使用時(shí)間。根據(jù)80/20黃金原則——我們所能達(dá)到的80%的結(jié)果來自于行動(dòng)的20%。要試著達(dá)到剩下20%以追求100%的完美結(jié)果，我們還需要花費(fèi)80%更多的努力!
Some of us may think that we should do everything to achieve the best outcome. While I agree with this, it fails to hold true outside of certain situational contexts. For example, while it may be gratifying to get the best picture for each blog article, the extra time spent looking for that best picture prevents me from working on higher value tasks, such as writing new books or creating new challenges for my readers. It goes without saying that one hour spent on the latter adds more value than one hour spent looking for a picture.
有些人會(huì)想：我們應(yīng)該做好一切以達(dá)到最好的結(jié)果。在同意此話的同時(shí)，這話如果脫離了具體的情況情境，是不真實(shí)的。比如說，為了給每一個(gè)微博文章都配上最好的圖片，花多余的時(shí)間找最佳照片的行為阻礙了我去完成高附加值的工作，比如譜寫新書、或者為自己的讀者創(chuàng)造一些心的挑戰(zhàn)。把一小時(shí)的時(shí)間用來增加附加值還是花一小時(shí)的時(shí)間找相片?毋庸多說。
By looking at the big picture, it helps you realize what does matter and what doesn't so that you can then channel your energy accordingly. The Gifts of Imperfection is a good read on this topic.
想著心里的遠(yuǎn)景，就能幫你意識到做什么值得，什么不值得;這樣你就能相應(yīng)地引導(dǎo)你的能量?！恫煌昝赖酿佡?zèng)》，從標(biāo)題上看就不錯(cuò)。
3.Let yourself be affected by minor issues.
3. 讓自己受到小事件的影響
Sometimes we may be affected by a hurtful comment or discouraged by a small setback. While these emotions are justified, often times these events are insignificant in the long run. One way to check if something is worth mulling over is to ask yourself this question: "Will this matter in one year's time? Three years? 5 years? 10 years? 30 years?" If not, then it's probably not worth your energy to think about these things. Concentrate on things that do matter in the long run instead.
有些時(shí)候我們會(huì)受到惡意批評或者因小挫折而氣餒。貌似這些情緒是有正當(dāng)理由的，但通常這些事件從長期來看是無關(guān)緊要的。想知道一件事情是否值得思慮，有一個(gè)方法，那就是：“1年中它的影響是怎樣的?三年呢?五年?十年?三十年?”那如果不是，就證明可能不值得的你花費(fèi)精力去思考這些事情;相反的是，把精力集中在那些從長遠(yuǎn)看很重要的事情上。
4.Blame others for your plight.
4. 自己的困境卻怪罪他人
Is there anything you're blaming others for in your life? Are you blaming the economy for not getting the job you want? Your parents for giving you "fat" genes? Your boss for your workload? The world for lack of opportunities around you? The universe for not giving you the life of your dreams?
你生活里有沒有什么事情是你責(zé)怪他人的?你是否在怪罪經(jīng)濟(jì)沒能讓你得到你想要的工作?責(zé)怪你的父母遺傳給你“肥胖”的基因?老板給你的工作量太多?周圍世界缺乏機(jī)會(huì)?世界沒能給你所夢想的生活?
The extent to which you can live your dream life depends on the extent to which you take responsibility for your life. When you blame someone/something for what you're going through, you deny responsibility. You give others power over that part of your life. For example, if you blame your parents for your obesity, you'll continue to remain obese because in your mind they are the reason why you're obese. You'll never have the power to change the situation until you take responsibility for it. When you take 100% responsibility for your life, be it your career status, your health, your relationship status, your finances, your friendships, etc, that's when you're set to achieve the life of your dreams.
你能過上夢想中的生活的程度取決于你對自己生命負(fù)責(zé)的程度。當(dāng)你正經(jīng)歷某事卻責(zé)怪某人某事的時(shí)候，你就是在否認(rèn)你自己的責(zé)任。你把你生命里那部分的權(quán)利交給了別人。比如說，如果你印字機(jī)的肥胖而責(zé)怪父母，那么你將會(huì)繼續(xù)胖下去，因?yàn)樵谀隳X海中這才是你肥胖的原因。除非你為此擔(dān)負(fù)起責(zé)任來，要不你就不可能有力量改變現(xiàn)狀。當(dāng)你為自己生活擔(dān)負(fù)起百分百的責(zé)任，讓它成為你的職業(yè)狀態(tài)，健康，關(guān)系狀態(tài)，經(jīng)濟(jì)，友誼等等，那個(gè)時(shí)候才是你開始實(shí)現(xiàn)你夢想生活的時(shí)候。
5.Complain.
5. 抱怨
It's okay to complain once in a while as a way to vent, but doing it too often makes you a magnet for negativity. Whenever you complain, you give your power away to the universe. For every second you spend complaining, that's one second you could have spent creating the life you want. Rather than lament, think about the actions you can take to improve your situation instead. Every time you do, that's one step toward the life you've been dreaming about.
偶爾把抱怨當(dāng)做一種發(fā)泄的方式是可以的，但如果經(jīng)常這樣的話，就把你變成負(fù)磁場了。當(dāng)你抱怨的時(shí)候，你把自己的能量釋放到宇宙里。你花費(fèi)在抱怨上的每一秒鐘，原本都是你用來創(chuàng)造夢想生活的一秒鐘。與其悲嘆，不如思考一下將境遇提升所能采取的行動(dòng)。如果每次都這么做，都會(huì)向你夢想的生活邁進(jìn)一步。
6.Try to do everything by yourself.
6. 嘗試所有事情都親力親為
Are you someone who likes to do everything yourself? So do I - but over the years I realize that this prevents me from achieving more. In trying to do everything, including the nitty-gritty, less important details (see #2), that means you're not able to do the higher level, important things like your biggest goals and dreams. Start by delegating, outsourcing or removing the less important tasks and scaling yourself up to do the more important ones. You'll notice a big difference in your productivity.
你是哪種什么事情都喜歡自己上手去做的人嗎?我也是，但是多年來，我漸漸意識到這種方式阻礙我更多的進(jìn)步。在嘗試完成所有事件的時(shí)候，包括那些事實(shí)真相，不太重要的細(xì)節(jié)，(見#2)，那就意味著你就不能去做那些高一個(gè)層次的事情，重要的事情，諸如你最大的目標(biāo)和夢想。從授權(quán)開始，外包或者去除那些不太重要的任務(wù)，放開比例讓自己去做一些更重要的事情。這樣以來，你將會(huì)注意到你自己在效率上的大不同。
7.Set small goals.
7. 設(shè)定小目標(biāo)
Many people set small goals because they're afraid to fail. Actually what they're really afraid of is to realize that they've always had all the power to achieve everything they want and that they have wasted their own time and dreams. You have all the potential and power in this world to achieve everything you want. Stop settling for less and set your highest goals today. You owe it to yourself.
很多人設(shè)定小目標(biāo)是因?yàn)樗麄兾窇质?。而事?shí)上他們真正害怕的是：他們總是具有實(shí)現(xiàn)一切所想的能力，而他們浪費(fèi)了自己的時(shí)間和夢想。你有這世上一切潛力和能力去實(shí)現(xiàn)你所想的任何事。別再安于稍許，盡在今天設(shè)定好你的最高目標(biāo)。你得歸功于自己。
8.Bottle up unhappiness.
8. 壓抑苦惱
Bottling up your emotions is like creating a bomb that will eventually self- implode. Every time you bury an emotion, you're weighing yourself down with baggage. The best way to deal with your emotions, whether happy ones or unhappy ones, is to lay them out on the table and face them. Don't hide from your problems. When you do you're just hiding from yourself. I found a great way to clear emotional baggage is to use the brain dumping exercise, where you dump your emotions in a journal for about 10-15 minutes. Try it - you'll feel lighter almost immediately.
壓抑情緒莫過于設(shè)定了一個(gè)最終會(huì)自動(dòng)爆炸的炸彈。每當(dāng)你掩埋情緒的時(shí)候，都在用輜重將自己稱量。應(yīng)對情緒最好的方式是，不管是開心還是不高興，都把它們放在桌面兒上，面對它們。不要回避你的問題，如果那么做，那就是你在回避你自己。我發(fā)現(xiàn)一個(gè)清除情緒輜重的好方法，就是做大腦信息垃圾訓(xùn)練，花上10至15分鐘的時(shí)間把情緒傾倒在日記里。試試看，你立馬就會(huì)感到輕松起來。
9.Think that you cannot do it.
9. 認(rèn)為自己不能做
As Henry Ford put it, "Whether you think you can or think you can't – you are right." There is nothing more powerful in the world than our beliefs. Our beliefs are the lenses we use to see the world. If we think we don't have the power, then our minds will find the evidence to support that thought. If we think we have the power to achieve what we want, then similarly, our minds will automatically lock down on all the evidence that supports that thought.
正如亨利·福特所說：“不管你覺得自己是能還是不能——你都是正確的。”世上再?zèng)]有什么能比我們的信仰更有力的東西了，我們的信仰就是我們用之來看世界的鏡頭。如果我們認(rèn)為自己擁有實(shí)現(xiàn)夢想的力量，那么同樣的，我們的頭腦也會(huì)自動(dòng)鎖定所有支持這種想法的證據(jù)。
10.Procrastinate on your goals.
10. 拖延自己的目標(biāo)
Procrastination is the best way to bury your potential. Do you want your goals to never come true? Sure, procrastinate on them. I've never in my life seen a happy procrastinator. Everyone I know who procrastinates usually holds a heavy heart, because deep down they want to achieve their goals. Deep down they know they are meant to live their dreams. So stop procrastinating. Start by first identifying what you're passionate about, then go from there. As long as you're doing what you love, you can never go wrong.
拖延是埋沒自己潛能的最“好”方法。你是否想讓自己的目標(biāo)從不能實(shí)現(xiàn)?確定的話，那就拖延吧。我這輩子從來就沒有見過一個(gè)開心的拖延者;我所認(rèn)識的每一個(gè)拖拉者通常都有一顆沉重的心，因?yàn)閮?nèi)心深處他們是想實(shí)現(xiàn)他們的目標(biāo)的。內(nèi)心深處他們知道自己打算要實(shí)現(xiàn)自己的夢想。那么，停止拖延吧，首先從確定你激情所在開始，然后從這里開始，。只要你做著自己喜愛的事情，那你就絕不會(huì)弄錯(cuò)。
