動名詞

If you think about it, passion to succeed at anything requires time and effort and boredom and tedium.

仔細想想，要想在任何事情上取得成功，激情需要時間和努力，也需要無聊和乏味。

When you first sit down at the piano, you have to play these really insipid tunes, it's so boring.

當你第一次坐在鋼琴前時，你不得不彈奏這些平淡無奇的曲子，太無聊了。

You have to learn finger exercises and scales on any instrument, you have to learn scales, etc.

你必須學習任何樂器的手指練習和音階，你必須學習音階等。

If you think it's got to be passion, forget it, you're never going to get far.

如果你認為必須要有激情，那就算了，你永遠走不遠。

The thrill comes after a year of playing the piano and you get better at it.

彈琴一年後，你的技巧會越來越好，快感也會隨之而來。

Better and better and now it starts coming fun, then 10 years it's more fun, then 20 years it's fantastic.

越來越好，現在開始變得有趣，10 年後更有趣，20 年後更精彩。

The other night I had dinner with Stevie Wonder, it was the most amazing thing I ever seen.

有一天晚上，我和史蒂夫-汪達共進晚餐，這是我見過的最神奇的事情。

I was watching him play the piano and he's blind.

我在看他彈鋼琴，他是個盲人。

He's improvising, and it's just absolutely brilliant and amazing.

And as I'm seeing this, I'm thinking, I could see the thousands of hours he's been putting in just touching these keyboards and knowing where the where the where the keys are.

當我看到這一幕時，我在想，我可以看到他花了成千上萬個小時觸摸這些鍵盤，並知道按鍵在哪裡。

You know, it was just mind blowing how amazing it was.

That is the power that the human brain naturally has through hours and hours and hours of effort, that's how it works.

這就是人類大腦通過數小時的努力自然產生的力量，這就是它的工作原理。

He didn't get there because it was passion.

他之所以能做到這一點，並不是因為激情。

He got there because he was a child prodigy at the age of 11, he was signed to a contract with Motown Records.

因為他是個神童，11 歲時就與摩城唱片公司簽約。

He was playing that as he was a kid, hour after hour after hour after hour.

他小時候就在玩這個遊戲，一小時又一小時，一小時又一小時。

He had a love for the piano, but it wasn't like every time he sat down it had to be passionate about it.

他對鋼琴情有獨鍾，但並不是每次坐下來都要充滿激情。

He had the patience to put up with all of the boring stuff.

他有耐心忍受所有無聊的事情。

So you want to discover what you were meant to, what you have a connection to, what you have a love for, when you're 18, 19 or 20, that's the best time to discover it.

所以，如果你想發現自己的使命，發現自己與什麼有聯繫，發現自己熱愛什麼，那麼在你 18、19 或 20 歲的時候，就是發現它的最佳時機。

And it doesn't have to be something highfalutin or or worth, you know, like intellectual.

不一定非得是高大上的東西，也不一定非得是有價值的東西，你知道的，比如知識性的東西。

You could be great with your hands, you could be great with your body, you could be great with images and visuals, you could be great with words.

你可以很擅長用手，可以很擅長用身體，可以很擅長用影像和視覺，也可以很擅長用語言。

You can be great in many different areas.

你可以在許多不同的領域都表現出色。

它們都是平等的，都是偉大的。

You want to know that you want to feel it inside of you, it's like a feeling, it's not an intellectual thing.

你想知道，你想在內心深處感受到它，它就像一種感覺，而不是智力上的東西。

You feel when you're doing sports that it's it's good, it's a natural thing, it's what I'm meant for.

當你從事體育運動時，你會覺得這是一件好事，是一件自然而然的事情，是我命中註定要做的事情。

When you're involved with words, like I was, when I was eight years old, it felt right, felt like a natural fit, I have to follow this path.

當你和文字打交道時，就像我一樣，當我八歲的時候，我就覺得這是對的，是天經地義的，我必須沿著這條路走下去。

When you're three or four years old and it's music like Stevie Wonder and you're hearing this in your head, wow, that's it for me, right?

當你三四歲的時候，聽到史提夫-汪達（Stevie Wonder）這樣的音樂，你的腦海中就會浮現出這樣的畫面：哇，這就是我，對嗎？

你能感覺到，你能感覺到這種聯繫。

Now you fast forward to when you're 18 or 19 years old and you're having to make a career choice, your 20s, the most important phase of your life.

現在你快進到 18 或 19 歲，你必須做出職業選擇，你的 20 多歲，是你人生中最重要的階段。

If you spend your 20s trying to learn skill in something that connects to you deeply, then things are going to happen to you by the time you reach 30.

如果你在 20 多歲時就努力學習與自己有深刻聯繫的技能，那麼到 30 歲時，你就會遇到很多事情。

It may not be something so specific, for me, it was writing and words, but I didn't know what to write.

可能不是那麼具體的事情，對我來說，是寫作和文字，但我不知道該寫什麼。

I tried novels, I tried journalism, I tried theater, I tried screenwriting.

我嘗試過小說，嘗試過新聞，嘗試過戲劇，嘗試過編劇。

But you know what, it gives you a direction and you try and you try and you try.

但你知道嗎，它給了你一個方向，讓你不斷嘗試，不斷嘗試，不斷嘗試。

And you know that's what you were meant for.

And so when it comes time to do the tedious stuff, you're able to do it because you know, in the end it'll pay rewards, you'll get better and better at it.

這樣，當需要做繁瑣的事情時，你就能做到，因為你知道，最終會有回報，你會做得越來越好。

So you can't think of everything in life having to be pleasurable and having to be passionate.

是以，你不能認為生活中的一切都必須是愉悅的，必須是充滿激情的。

It's going to be boredom, there's going to be tedium, how do I deal with it?

會很無聊，會很乏味，我該如何應對？

You have to feel a greater love than just mere pleasure or passion, it's got to be something so deep within you that to not do it will make you deeply unhappy.

你必須感受到一種更偉大的愛，而不僅僅是快樂或激情，它必須是你內心深處的東西，以至於不這樣做會讓你深感不快樂。

對我來說，我不能寫作，也不能成為作家。

I don't think I'd be alive right now, I would have been so miserable, I would have been so alienated from who I am.

我想我現在不會還活著，我會很痛苦，我會與我自己格格不入。

所以，這就是能讓你渡過難關的東西。
