If experience was the best teacher, everybody got older, everybody get better.

如果經驗是最好的老師，那麼每個人都會變老，每個人都會變得更好。

If you had spent one hour a day, every day, on one subject for five years, you could become an expert on that subject.

如果你每天花一個小時研究一個課題，持續五年，你就能成為這個課題的專家。

So I said, wow, I want to become an expert.

於是我說，哇，我想成為專家。

And when I started that process, I was thinking five years, I was kind of like doing countdown, five years, four years, three years, but something happened to me about halfway through that five-year process.

當我開始這個過程時，我想的是五年，我有點像在做倒計時，五年、四年、三年，但在五年過程的中途，我發生了一些事情。

Instead of asking myself, how long will it take?

而不是問自己：需要多長時間？

One day I began to realize, and I stopped asking the question, how long will it take?

有一天，我開始意識到，我不再問 "需要多長時間 "這個問題了。

And I started asking the question, how far can I go?

我開始問一個問題：我能走多遠？

I realized that you can set goals and have five-year goals, whatever, but I changed from a goal mindset to a growth mindset.

我意識到，你可以設定目標，可以有五年目標，等等，但我從目標思維轉變成了成長思維。

Growth allows you to continue to expand yourself and your world until there's just so much more that you know and so much more that you want to share.

成長能讓你不斷擴展自己和世界，直到你知道的和想分享的都多了起來。

I used to say experience is the best teacher, and then one day I woke up and said, that's a stupid statement, John.

我曾經說過，經驗是最好的老師，後來有一天我醒悟過來，我說，這句話太愚蠢了，約翰。

If experience was the best teacher, then everybody got older, everybody get better.

And yet I know a lot of people, they're getting older and they're not getting better.

然而，我知道很多人，他們年紀越來越大，身體卻不見好轉。

And so I stop and I say, okay, it's not the experience that's the best teacher, it's evaluating that experience.

於是我停下來說，好吧，最好的老師不是經驗，而是對經驗的評估。

Reflection turns experience into insight.

那麼，我們怎樣才能做到這一點呢？

After every experience, I have to pull away, and I have to ask myself, okay, what did I learn from that?

每次經歷之後，我都必須抽身而出，捫心自問：好吧，我從中學到了什麼？

When we'd have experiences with our children, I would always ask them two questions after every experience.

當我們和孩子們一起經歷時，我總會在每次經歷後問他們兩個問題。

What did you learn and what did you love?

And for a kid, in fact, I'd really ask them, what did you love, what did you learn?

事實上，對於孩子，我會問他們，你喜歡什麼，你學到了什麼？

I would say, no, what did you learn from that?

我會說，不，你從中學到了什麼？

Till probably by the time they were 10, after every experience, they'd just say, okay, here's what I loved and here's what I learned.

直到他們 10 歲時，每次經歷之後，他們都會說，好吧，這是我喜歡的，這是我學到的。

Well, what I taught my children to do is evaluate every experience because if I don't stop and reflect and evaluate out of that experience, I will do the same thing next time.

我教孩子們要做的就是評估每一次經歷，因為如果我不停下來反思和評估，下次我還會做同樣的事情。

And that's not what is where the growth is.

The growth is always in learning and evaluating, and not only evaluating, but learning is overrated unless you improve.

成長永遠在於學習和評估，不僅是評估，除非你有所進步，否則學習就被高估了。

So I mean, it's more than what did I just learn out of that, what do I do out of that that I improve my life with?

所以，我的意思是，這不僅僅是我從中學到了什麼，我還能做些什麼來改善我的生活？

我認為這也是一個很大的失誤。
