動名詞

I was trying to understand why people who put a lot of effort in keep making the same dumb mistake.

我想弄明白，為什麼付出了很多努力的人卻總是犯同樣愚蠢的錯誤。

And the dumb mistake is they do hard work and hard work and hard work and just when they get to the point where everyone else is quitting, they quit too.

最愚蠢的錯誤是，他們努力工作，努力工作，再努力工作，當別人都放棄的時候，他們也放棄了。

過去簡單式

And if they just stuck it out for two more months or two more years or 20 more years, they get to the other side.

如果他們再堅持兩個月、兩年或 20 年，他們就能到達彼岸。

Well we're scared of intent because if you announce your intent even to yourself, it makes it way more likely you're going to fail.

我們害怕 "意圖"，因為如果你向自己宣佈 "意圖"，那麼你失敗的可能性就會大大增加。

So we go into the store and someone says, can I help you say, I'm just looking.

於是我們走進商店，有人說，我能幫你什麼忙嗎？

I'm just looking is a statement of no intent.

我只是在看，並沒有任何意圖。

And that's the way many people have been trained to go through life because the system wants you to have no intent.

這就是許多人被訓練出來的生活方式，因為體制希望你沒有意圖。

It wants you to do your job, get paid, buy stuff, put it in a storage unit, watch TV, repeat.

它希望你做好本職工作，拿到錢，買東西，放進儲藏室，看電視，如此重複。

And as soon as we start having intent, we hesitate.

一旦我們開始有了意圖，我們就會猶豫不決。

We feel like an imposter when we have intent.

當我們有意圖時，我們會覺得自己是個冒牌貨。

But if you can announce your intent, then you can get to who exactly are you seeking to change?

但是，如果你能宣佈你的意圖，那麼你就能知道你到底想改變誰？

What change exactly are you seeking to make?

If you go to a surgeon, she doesn't just accidentally cut you open.

如果你去看外科醫生，她不會一不小心就把你切開。

She says, you have a blocked vein or whatever.

And that action, whether we work for a company or on our own, can fuel us doing ever better work because we can say, I set out to do this and it either worked and I'm sorry it did or it worked and I'm glad it did or I could have done it better and here's how.

無論我們是為公司工作還是自己工作，這種行動都能激勵我們做得更好，因為我們可以說，我開始做這件事，要麼成功了，我很遺憾；要麼成功了，我很高興；要麼我可以做得更好，方法是這樣的。

And for anyone out there who wants to do it.

Well, I think that all of us have no place to begin but with ourselves.

我認為，我們每個人都只能從自己做起。

怎樣才能讓我們已故的父母感到幸福？

What would happen to our status with our neighbors and our role in the community if X, Y, or Z happened?

如果發生了 X、Y 或 Z，我們在鄰居中的地位和在社區中的作用會發生什麼變化？

Even the most selfless person on earth, you know, you're diving into a shark infested waters to save someone's life.

即使是世界上最無私的人，你也知道，你潛入鯊魚出沒的水域是為了救人一命。

Well, yes, saving their life is important but part of the reason it's important is you want to be the kind of person that would have done that act and save that person's life.

是的，拯救他們的生命固然重要，但重要的部分原因是，你想成為那種會做出這種行為並拯救他們生命的人。

Being that kind of person is better than walking away and watching them drown.

做這樣的人總比一走了之，眼睜睜地看著他們被淹死要好。

So that's where we begin, which is getting clear in our head about what are the shifts we seek to make to become the person we want to be.

是以，這就是我們的出發點，即在頭腦中明確我們要做出哪些轉變，以成為我們想要成為的人。

And then there's a series of choices we have to make but I think they're easier if we have habits.

然後，我們必須做出一系列選擇，但我認為，如果我們養成了習慣，這些選擇就會變得更容易。

Goals are results but you can't, having the goal of I'm going to make a number one best seller, what do you, that didn't tell me anything.

目標就是結果，但你不能把目標定在 "我要寫出第一暢銷書 "上，這對我沒有任何幫助。

Whereas having the goal of I'm going to write every single day and I'm going to learn this and this and maybe the byproduct is that there's a best seller at the end, those are different things.

而目標是 "我每天都要寫作，我要學習這些、這些，也許最後的副產品是一本暢銷書"，這是兩碼事。

And my advice to people is number one, you don't have to be original.

我給大家的建議是，第一，你不必非得原創。

You do not have to pick a way to make a living or an impact that has never been done before in history.

你不必選擇一種歷史上從未有過的謀生方式或影響力。

And two, the people who have come before you and gotten to the other side, what path were they on?

其次，在你之前到達彼岸的人，他們走的是什麼路？

So if you want to be a successful cardiac surgeon, you probably need to go to medical school, right?

所以，如果你想成為一名成功的心臟外科醫生，你可能需要去醫學院，對嗎？

If you're not going to go to medical school, stop telling me you're going to be a surgeon.

如果你不打算上醫學院，就別再告訴我你要當外科醫生了。

But if you do that and then you get the fellowship and the intern, blah, blah, blah, then you're on your path.

但如果你做到了這一點，然後你得到了獎學金和實習生，諸如此類，你就走上了自己的道路。

So tell me who's come before you, who has made it through this dip because you can follow that path.

所以，告訴我在你之前，有誰通過了這次浸泡，因為你可以沿著這條路走下去。
