网上有一篇关于无法成功的九大根源,代表九种不同态度的人,有现实意义,试简单中英翻译练习和分享。Part-2
5. Mr. Delay
Dream plump,reality skinny.
Most likely delaying equals to escaping from reality and being lazy.
Boring job, Nasty boss, Tototo busy, Let's do it!(tomorrow)…more and more such excuses will kill your energy and push you into vicious spiral of boring.
Lazy leads to Delay, Delay leads to Regret, Regret leads to Worry. A mystery circle. Isn’t?Mr. delay, are you Dragon or “Drag on”? make a call please.
6. Mr. 3mins. Passion
80% failures contributed by doing things halfway
Mr. 3mins Passion might reach the cherry with hard work before. Therefore he perfectly knows the boring and fluctuating parts behind the stage of success.
Almost everybody had the experience of Solid Plan,Poor Play.
For instance, “ I got a big dream in new year dream notebook page 1, 2 and 3. Empty afterwards”.
“I am so happy to have the great book ABC, unfortunately it is still sealed nicely”.
“I decided go to GYM to reshape myself, forget about it after day 5…”
You know what? People like to stay on beach or couch. Instead go through fire and water.
That is human, that's Mr. 3mins Passion.
7. Mr. Pride
Mr. Pride is twin-brother of Mr. Fear.
Both of them are fear to be rejected.
Most of time, we feel “Hurt” because we “think” we are rejected.
Sometimes it is apparent: sudden death of your love affair; Best friend becomes Bye friend or Bad Friend.
Sometimes it might be as subtle as that she turn the back to your smile; or it take years to receive her fluffy reply in wechat.
These “trivial many” things makes Mr. pride sick and stuck.
He always focuses on people attitude to him.
In contrary, Those successful people is target-oriented and willing to give up everything including pride.
Left or right, Vital few or trivial many?
8. Mr. Limit
Mr. Limit always killed his potentials.
I want to do A, but I worry about B, C, D and E…long list of problems and issues. Apparently I can't get it done because lack of this or that.
The key is he never starts up.
Glass half full or half empty? Please Think twice.
9. Mr. Day dream
Five tags:
1. Day dream, everyday – a personal galaxy
2. Day dream, everywhere. – free, no boundary and no responsibility
3. Indulge in game and fantasy novel – an fantasy world
4. Hate the world cruel.
5. Fail to accept uncertainty in rea world.
Stop killing thousands of monsters in Diablo 3, start to talk with your bad neighborhood who always practice the wall drilling skills in Sunday morning.
最后我想说,不需要对号入座,也不需要耿耿于怀,这些九大根源,我们都有,只是多少罢了。最关键的,是你定义的成功是什么?你离它有多远?你愿意并且需要做哪些事去达到它? 这是你的Vital few, 其他统统都是浮云Trivial many。
n年前,我的qq签名档是:”我是一只阳光下的猫,人家以为我在睡懒觉,其实我在思考如何变得更好“。n年后还能用,只是更多的是思考在行动中。
原文如下:
5. 拖延
计划很丰满,执行很骨感。
很多时候拖延就是逃避问题和懒惰。
把横在面前的困难放大,望而却步,抱着能拖一天是一天的心态找各种借口逃避:
“无聊的工作”、
“苛刻的老板”、
“我太忙”、
“隔一天在做也没关系”……
随之而来,我们会陷入“工作越来越无趣”,“人生越来越无聊”的泥潭中。
愈加懒惰,愈加消极,会掉入懊悔过去和幻想未来的陷阱中。
时间累积会产生更加强烈的负罪感和自我否定让人越来越焦虑。
著名思想家罗曼·罗兰说:“懒惰是很奇怪的东西,它让你以为那是安逸,是休息,是福气;但实际上它所给你的是无聊,是倦怠,是消沉。”
6. 三分钟热度
世界上有80%的失败都源于半途而废。
“三分钟热度”的人不过是从来没有体验到坚持做一件事成功后带来的喜悦,因为坚持的过程总是枯燥又充满挫折的,人的天性又是好逸恶劳。
“每一年伊始笔记本的前几页都写满了宏伟的计划,后面几乎都是空白……”
“购买了一本好书,可惜得是到现在都还没开始读……”
“下决心健身减肥,差不多在5天之后就放弃了……”
几乎所有的人都有过“雄心勃勃地制定计划,心灰意冷地放弃计划”的经历。
7. 害怕拒绝
厚重而脆弱的自尊。
大多数时候,我们在人际关系中感受到的“痛”,都和“感到被拒绝”有关。
有时这种拒绝是很显然的,比如爱人突然的离去;或者被朋友背板和疏远。
而有时这种拒绝也可以是很细微的,比如你给了对方一个微笑的眼神,对方却移开了目光;或者你鼓起勇气给对方发了一个条微信,对方却过很久才简短回复。
一个能放下自尊去做事情的人,是专注目标成果导向的人;而把自尊心放在第一位的人,在人际交往做事情的时候,总关注在他人对自己的态度。
所以,一个人越是百无一用的时候,越执念于那些无足轻重的底线与小自尊心。
8. 自我设限
杀死自己的潜能力。
他们经常这样说:我想做A,但是我怕做不到,因为B、C、D、E种原因。
他们还没去做之前,就先否定自己,并给自己找了一堆不付出努力的理由。
所有的平庸与低成就都是自我设限的结果。
9. 逃避现实
白日梦患者。
逃避现实的人有5个特征。
1.经常做白日梦——逃避现实者更愿意营造一个属于自己的小世界。
2.喜欢随心所欲,无拘无束的生活——说白了就是向往游手好闲的生活。
3.沉迷游戏或是魔幻小说——它们可以引领你走进那个神奇浩繁的世界,让你逃避日常现实生活。
4.觉得现实世界很残酷——这是逃避现实者的常见特征,在追寻白日梦的时候常常会遭受来自现实生活的打击。
5.无法面对不确定环境——因为在你营造的白日梦里,你才能找到确定感和安全感。
人的悲剧在于眼高手低。大多数人激动时佛挡杀佛,幻想中睥睨天下,日常生活中却没法鼓起勇气和每个周末早上都要拿电钻钻墙的邻居很好谈一谈。
