程度副詞

It's a secret so powerful, it can transform your entire Life in just 10 seconds.

這是一個強大的祕密，能在短短10秒內徹底改變你的人生。

I am here today to share with you my accidental discovery that the universe rewards bold action.

我今天在這裡要跟大家分享我意外發現的，宇宙會獎勵 bold action。

Hopefully, you won't have to sweat through as many shirts as I did to learn this.

希望你不用像我一樣，弄濕好幾件衣服才能學到這個。

I've always loved the phrase fortune favors the bold, because anytime I would muster up the courage to take bold action, my life seemed to immediately improve.

我一直很喜歡 fortune favors the bold 這句話，因為每次我鼓起勇氣採取 bold action 時，我的人生似乎就立刻變好了。

Wasn't just a cool quote, but rather a formula for how the universe works.

不只是很酷的一句話，而是宇宙運作的 formula。

We can't control what happens to us in life.

我們無法控制生活中發生在我們身上的事。

But we can control how bold we are being.

但我們可以控制我們有多 bold。

And my hypothesis was that if we increase the boldness in our lives, then what happens to us?

我的 hypothesis 是，如果我們增加生活中的 bold，那麼發生在我們身上的事會怎樣？

I'll never forget the day I first put this hypothesis to the test.

我永遠不會忘記我第一次驗證這個 hypothesis 的那天。

I was sitting at a cafe eating breakfast when I saw her.

那天我坐在咖啡廳吃早餐，然後我看到她了。

I made eye contact with a woman across the room, and

我跟坐在房間另一頭的她進行了 eye contact，

my stomach dropped as electricity shot through me.

然後我感覺肚子一沉，一股 electricity 傳遍全身。

She was sitting at a table with another man and a woman, and

她正和一個男人、一個女人坐在一張桌子旁，

I didn't know why, but I knew I needed to speak with her.

我不知道為什麼，但我就是知道我需要跟她說話。

So when I finished eating, I got my receipt.

所以吃完飯後，我拿了我的 receipt。

I flipped it over, and I wrote my name and phone number on the back of it.

我把它翻過來，在背面寫上了我的名字和 phone number。

I then stood up from my table, palms sweating, heart pounding as every fiber of my body told me to sit back down.

接著我從座位站起來，palms sweating，heart pounding，我身體的每一條 fiber 都告訴我要坐回去。

When I got to their table, the man sitting across from her was speaking.

走到他們桌子旁時，坐在她對面的那個男人正在說話。

And I didn't want to be rude, so I looked at him and I said, hey, man.

我不想當個 rude 的人，所以我看著他，然後說，嘿，哥們。

真不好意思，我可以 interrupt 一下嗎？

He looked up at me, confused, but slowly nodded.

他抬頭看著我，有點 confused，但還是慢慢點了點頭。

That's when I turned to this mysterious wonder Woman and I said, hey, you're really cute.

這時候我轉向這位 mysterious wonder Woman，跟她說，嘿，妳真的很可愛。

Which means you probably have a boyfriend.

這代表妳可能已經有 boyfriend 了。

But if you don't, here's my phone number.

但如果妳沒有，這是我的 phone number。

And as I slowly slid my receipt with my phone number on it across the table, she blurted out, I don't have a boyfriend.

當我慢慢地把寫著我 phone number 的 receipt 遞過去時，她脫口而出，我沒有 boyfriend。

我笑了笑，說，祝你有美好的一天。

Now the big question is, did she end up texting me?

現在最大的問題是，她後來有 texting 我嗎？

她那天晚上晚點 texting 我了，而且

I'm so grateful to share that just two weeks ago, we celebrated our two year anniversary.

我很感激地跟大家分享，就在兩個禮拜前，我們慶祝了我們的兩週年 anniversary。

All it took was 10 seconds of terrifyingly bold action, and

所有這一切，只需要 10 秒鐘令人害怕的 bold action，而且

the universe rewarded me with the best romantic relationship of my life.

宇宙獎勵了我，給了我生命中最棒的 romantic relationship。

But meeting my girlfriend was just the beginning.

但遇見我的 girlfriend 只是個開始。

I wanted to fully test out this hypothesis that The Universe rewards bold action and inspired by a book I read called Rejection Proof, I embarked on a 100 day challenge of taking bold action and talking to strangers around San Diego.

我想徹底驗證「fortune favors the bold」這個 hypothesis，受到一本叫做《Rejection Proof》的書啟發，我開始了為期 100 天的 bold action 挑戰，在聖地牙哥跟陌生人哈拉。

On day number one of this challenge, I knocked on a stranger's door and asked if they wanted to go for a walk with me around the neighborhood.

在這個挑戰的第一天，我敲了一位陌生人的門，問他們願不願意跟我一起在社區裡散步。

But between the moment I knocked on their door and the moment they answered, I felt more alive than I had in years and I knew that I was onto something.

但在我敲門到他們開門的這段時間裡，我感覺比過去幾年都還要活著，我知道我找到了一些東西。

On day number four, I knocked on another stranger's door, but

在第四天，我又敲了另一位陌生人的門，但是

this time I was wearing a swimsuit and holding a beach towel.

這一次我穿著泳衣，拿著浴巾。

When the door opened in front of me, I put on my best smile and said, hi, my name's Gregory and I was wondering if I could jump in your swimming pool.

當門在我面前打開時，我掛上最燦爛的笑容說：「嗨，我叫 Gregory，我想問一下，我能不能跳進你家的游泳池？」

The man who opened the door stared back in silence for what felt like an eternity, and

開門的男人沉默地看著我，感覺像過了一個世紀那麼久，

we ended up filming a short video of me jumping in his swimming pool.

最後我們還拍了一段我跳進他家泳池的短影片。

而且我是用完美的跳水姿勢喔。

我把這支影片發布到 Instagram 上，

over the course of just two weeks, it got over 350,000 views, showing me that this idea of taking bold action really resonated with people.

結果短短兩週內就累積了超過 35 萬次的觀看數，這讓我意識到「fortune favors the bold」這個想法真的引起大家的共鳴。

Over the next 96 days, I asked strangers if they would bake cookies with me, if they would give me a piggyback ride, and

在接下來的 96 天裡，我問陌生人願不願意跟我一起烤餅乾、願不願意給我一個騎馬打仗，

This phase where I asked the mailman, Amazon delivery driver, and

在這個階段，我問了郵差、Amazon 的送貨員，還有

the FedEx guy if I could drive their trucks.

FedEx 的司機，能不能開他們的卡車。

I even asked a group of construction workers if I could drive their steamroller, and

我甚至問了一群建築工人，能不能開他們的蒸汽壓路機，

Now, I mostly received polite rejections throughout the course of my 100 days, but

當然，在我這 100 天的過程中，我大多收到的都是客氣的拒絕，但

I did manage to save $4 at the post office by asking if they had a discount for men with incredibly good mustaches.

我確實成功在郵局省下了 4 美元，方法是問他們有沒有給留著超讚鬍子的男士折扣。

I started this talk by saying that I would share with you a secret of the universe.

我一開始說，今天要跟大家分享一個宇宙的祕密。

What I didn't tell you is that I've been using this secret to change the lives of hundreds of people that I've worked with.

我沒告訴你們的是，我一直用這個祕密來改變我合作過的數百人的生活。

From writing books to changing careers, from finding love to facing fears, these five words have been our mantra.

從寫書、轉職、尋找愛情到面對恐懼，這五個字一直是我們的座右銘。

You can't control what happens to you in life, but you can control how bold you are being.

你無法控制生活中發生的事，但你可以控制自己有多大膽。

And if you're willing to step out of your comfort zone, sweat through a few shirts, and

如果你願意走出舒適圈，汗流浹背，

聽到拒絕的聲音，你就會得到回報。

Bold action is any intentional act that scares you a little and excites you a lot.

bold action 是一種有意識的行為，它會讓你有點害怕，但又讓你非常興奮。

It's a commitment to cultivating your courage, to facing your fears and being playfully outrageous along the way.

這是培養勇氣、面對恐懼並一路保持玩樂的承諾。

And the best part about bold action anyone can do doesn't matter whether you're old or whether you're young.

而 bold action 最棒的地方在於，任何人都可以做到，無論你老少。

It doesn't matter whether you're feeling confident or struggling with social anxiety.

無論你感覺自信還是有社交焦慮都沒關係。

The magic happens when you take action before you are ready.

在你準備好之前就採取行動，魔法就會發生。

And remember, all it takes is just 10 seconds of courage.

It's for that reason that I want to leave you with a single.

What is one bold action that you can take in your life today?

你今天可以在生活中採取一個 bold action 是什麼呢？

Maybe it's making a difficult phone call.

也許是打一通重要的 phone number。

It could even be high fiving the next stranger.

甚至可以是跟下一個遇到的陌生人 high five。

You see, the worst thing that could happen is nothing.

你看，最糟的情況就是什麼都不會發生。

Someone tells you no, and you're in the exact same place as you are right now.

有人跟你說 no，而你還是在原地踏步。

But the best thing that could happen is everything.

但最好的情況是，一切都會發生。

Anais Nin once said that life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.

Anais Nin 曾說，人生會因為你的 courage 而縮小或擴大。

And now, because you've listened to this talk, you know the reason why.

而現在，因為你聽了這段談話，你就會知道原因了。

Because the universe rewards bold action.

這個祕密非常強大，能在短短 10 秒內改變你的人生。

希望你不需要像我一樣，弄濕好幾件衣服才能學到這個。

I've always loved the phrase fortune favors the bold.

我一直很喜歡 fortune favors the bold 這句話。

Because anytime I would muster up the courage to take bold action, my life seemed to immediately improve.

因為每當我鼓起勇氣採取 bold action 時，我的人生似乎都會立刻好轉。
