Your growth in life depends on how you spend your energy.

你的人生成長取決於你如何花費精力。

to 不定詞

And the best way to spend your energy is on solving the right problems.

而把精力花在解決正確的問題上才是最好的方法。

But which problems are the right ones to solve?

I can't stress how important, how critical this question is.

我無法強調這個問題有多麼重要、多麼關鍵。

How do you know which problems to work on?

The obvious answer is the ones that cost you a little bit of energy to solve, but give you the most rewards.

答案顯而易見，那就是那些耗費你一點精力，卻能給你帶來最大回報的問題。

And so naturally, the worst way to spend your energy is on solving problems that cost you a lot of energy to solve, but give you the least rewards.

是以，自然而然地，最不應該花費精力的方式就是去解決那些耗費你大量精力卻給你帶來最少回報的問題。

But this answer is naive, because it depends on calculating the cost and reward of any individual problem.

但這個答案太天真了，因為它取決於對任何一個問題的成本和回報的計算。

And if you think about it deeply enough, due to the interconnected complexities of the world, you'll realize that's pretty much impossible to do.

如果你深入思考一下，你就會發現，由於世界相互關聯的複雜性，這幾乎是不可能做到的。

Lucky for us, the problem of problems is actually much easier to solve than you might think.

幸運的是，問題的問題其實比你想象的要容易解決得多。

The best problems to solve are the ones that choose you.

最好解決的問題就是選擇你的問題。

The ones that naturally capture your interest.

那些能自然而然地吸引你的興趣。

The ones that spark your curiosity, keep you questioning.

那些能激發你的好奇心，讓你不斷質疑的人。

But deep down inside, you know you have to.

但在內心深處，你知道你必須這樣做。

And you know you have to because they're the ones confronting you in interesting or threatening ways.

你知道你必須這樣做，因為是他們以有趣或威脅的方式與你對抗。

It's been my experience in life that once a problem chooses you, it never lets go.

我的人生經驗是，問題一旦選擇了你，就永遠不會放手。

And you really only have two ways of responding—voluntarily confront it or defend yourself from it.

而你實際上只有兩種應對方式--自願面對它，或者保護自己免受它的傷害。

And as Nietzsche said in his autobiography, in the long run, self-defense is one of the worst ways to spend your energy.

正如尼采在他的自傳中所說，從長遠來看，自衛是耗費精力最糟糕的方式之一。

And why is self-defense one of the worst ways to spend your energy?

為什麼自衛是耗費精力最糟糕的方式之一？

Imagine that you're living in the wild, and you live in a place surrounded by lots of wolves.

想象一下，你生活在野外，你生活的地方周圍有很多狼。

And whenever you cook your food, the wolves try and steal it.

每當你烹飪食物時，狼群就會試圖偷吃。

And to stop them from eating your food, you constantly have to scare them away with a spear.

為了阻止它們吃你的食物，你不得不不斷地用長矛把它們嚇跑。

And while you're scaring one wolf away, another sneaks up from behind you and steals some of your food.

就在你嚇跑一隻狼的時候，另一隻狼從你身後悄悄溜走，偷走了你的一些食物。

So much of your energy is wasted on the simple act of self-protection.

你的很多精力都浪費在了簡單的自我保護上。

And if you're in a place where most of your energy is spent on self-protection, the best outcome you can hope for is to simply keep what you have, because most of your energy is spent on protecting what you have rather than growing it.

如果你的大部分精力都花在了自我保護上，那麼你所能期待的最好結果就是保持現有的一切，因為你的大部分精力都花在了保護你所擁有的一切上，而不是發展它。

But because you can't protect yourself perfectly, in all likelihood, you'll end up even more impoverished over time.

但是，由於你無法完美地保護自己，很可能隨著時間的推移，你會變得更加貧窮。

And as the number of wolves increase and multiply, you'll spend more and more of your energy simply trying to keep them away.

隨著狼群數量的增加和繁殖，你會花費越來越多的精力去阻止它們。

And as a result, you'll slowly become more and more impoverished over time.

結果，隨著時間的推移，你會慢慢變得越來越貧窮。

And eventually, you yourself will be the meal.

最終，你自己也會成為這頓飯的主角。

And these days, we spend more time on psychological self-defense rather than physical.

如今，我們花在心理自衛上的時間比身體自衛更多。

The main way we defend ourselves psychologically is through the construction of false identities.

我們在心理上保護自己的主要方式是構建虛假身份。

And you might be thinking, I don't have any false identities.

你可能會想，我沒有任何假身份。

How many times do you find yourself biting your tongue?

你有多少次發現自己在咬舌自盡？

Holding yourself back from saying what you want to say.

Acting in a certain way to avoid being judged.

以某種方式行事，以避免被人評頭論足。

Having negative thoughts and feelings towards someone which you hide from them.

對某人有負面的想法和感覺，卻對其隱瞞。

Talking behind someone's back or secretly judging them.

背後議論他人或暗中評判他人。

Having to carefully choose your words and walk on eggshells.

不得不小心謹慎地選擇自己的言辭，小心翼翼地行事。

Do you take on a personality just to avoid conflict with others?

你會為了避免與他人發生衝突而塑造自己的個性嗎？

If the answer is yes, then you're engaged in an act of psychological self-defense.

如果答案是肯定的，那麼你就是在進行心理自衛。

And I know what some of you are thinking.

But you can only be on defense for so long.

The wolves are here, and you can only defend yourself from them for so long before you exhaust all of your energy.

狼群就在這裡，你只能抵擋它們這麼長時間，然後就會耗盡你所有的能量。

Think about the long-term cost of being on defense.

Think about how much energy you spend on constructing false identities to avoid conflict.

想一想，為了避免衝突，你花了多少精力去構建虛假的身份。

隨著時間的推移，情況只會越來越糟。

And all of this energy you spent growing your false personalities was energy you took away from growing your real self.

你花在成長虛假人格上的所有精力，都是你從成長真實自我上奪走的。

And the more time you spend creating and maintaining false identities, the more weak and impoverished the real you will become.

你花在創造和維護虛假身份上的時間越多，真實的你就會變得越虛弱和貧乏。

And you'll simply become a collection of false personalities rather than who you really are.

而你只會成為虛假人格的集合體，而不是真正的自己。

And if you understand what I'm saying, you'll realize that, at some point, you'll have to voluntarily confront the wolves.

如果你明白我的意思，你就會意識到，在某些時候，你必須主動面對狼群。

And if you confront them, if you get rid of them at their source, if you destroy their den, so to speak, then you would no longer be stuck in self-defense.

如果你與他們對抗，如果你從他們的源頭除掉他們，如果你摧毀了他們的巢穴，可以這麼說，那麼你就不再受困於自衛了。

And the energy you free up can be spent on gathering even more food, on growth, rather than mere protection.

你釋放出來的能量可以用來採集更多的食物，用來成長，而不僅僅是保護自己。

In other words, stop depending on false personalities to get by.

換句話說，不要再依靠虛假的人格來混日子了。

充其量，它們能為你爭取一些時間。

At worst, they'll make you too weak to save yourself.

最壞的情況是，它們會讓你虛弱到無法自救。

Prepare yourself to face your problems head-on, sincerely, directly, and at the root.

準備好直面問題，真誠、直接、從根本上解決問題。

Because the longer you run and hide, the more your problem grows.

因為你逃避和躲藏的時間越長，你的問題就越嚴重。

And the more a problem grows, the more difficult you might find to face it.

問題越嚴重，你就越難以面對。

Put yourself in a position where you never have to be false again, as far as that's possible.

在可能的範圍內，讓自己處於再也不必虛偽的境地。

And create allies if you can—people whom you don't have to be false with, who want to help you overcome your wolves.

如果可以的話，你還可以建立盟友--那些你不必虛與委蛇，但願意幫助你戰勝狼群的人。

Perhaps you've already been running for so long, it seems pointless to try and confront your problem.

也許你已經奔波了很久，試圖正視自己的問題似乎毫無意義。

The tunnel seems too long and dark, and you can't see a light at the end.

隧道似乎太長太黑，看不到盡頭的光亮。

But just because you can't see the light, it doesn't mean it isn't there.

但你看不到光，並不意味著它不存在。

I believe that it's always there, and it's always worth making the attempt to try and reach it.

我相信，它一直都在那裡，值得我們去努力嘗試，去實現它。

Spend all your energy avoiding your conflicts through false personalities until eventually your problems grow so big they consume you?

把所有精力都花在通過虛假的人格來回避衝突上，直到最後問題越來越大，把你吞噬？

And once you solve the problem at its root, you can spend your extra energy on becoming stronger, flourishing, blooming, on becoming who you really are.

一旦你從根本上解決了問題，你就可以把多餘的精力花在變得更強大、蓬勃發展、綻放光彩上，花在成為真正的自己上。

And if you ask me, becoming who you really are is the most valuable and meaningful thing to be accomplished in this life.

要我說，成為真正的自己，才是此生最有價值、最有意義的事情。

That concludes my exploration of Nietzsche's teaching.

我對尼采學說的探索到此結束。

As always, this is just my opinion and understanding of Nietzsche, not advice.

一如既往，這只是我對尼采的看法和理解，並非建議。
