今天是週二問答時間，今天的問題

Claudia and she writes:

來自克勞蒂亞，她說：

“Hi Marie. I’m 26 years old, Brazilian and German, and moved to Germany 8 months ago.

嗨瑪麗，我是26歲的巴西德國混血兒，八個月前我搬到德國

ago. I left my whole life and family in Brazil to dive into the unknown. I've always wanted

拋下了巴西的生活與家人迎向未知

to start my own online business and have yet to find inspiration.

我一直都想開創網路事業，但還沒有靈感

Finding a job in the field I studied wasn't happening, so I got a part time job at a store. My colleagues

找工作無法學以致用，所以我在一家店打工

are amazing, good hearted people, but they don't have ambition. I mean, none whatsoever.

我有很棒很熱心的同事，但他們毫無野心..完完全全沒有

I miss having smart conversations about life and I miss constant inspiration. I love art

我想念那些對人生有意義的談話、也想念源源不絕的靈感

and culture, yet I'm not pursuing any of it. I'm in a state of numbness and have

我熱愛藝術與文化，但現在卻都放棄了。我像是行屍走肉卻不知道為什麼會這樣

no idea why. Do the people you spend the most time with influence you in a positive or negative

你最常往來的人，帶給你正面還是負面的影響呢？

way? I've always been a doer, but this time I'm having trouble getting back on track.

我向來有行動力，但這次我卻難以回到正軌

Thanks for all you do, Claudia.

感謝指點，克勞蒂亞

Claudia, this is a very interesting question. Now, most of us have heard that famous Jim

這是一個非常有趣的問題，我們都聽過吉姆‧隆恩 (勵志作家)的名言：

Rohn quote that says, you are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with.

「在你最常來往的五個人中，你是他們的平均值」

And whether or not you agree with that, I think we can all agree that we human beings have influence on one another.

不論你認不認同這句話，我想我們都同意人會互相影響

So the people you hang out with on a daily basis, the people

所以與你朝夕相處的人

you work with, the people you talk with, of course they're gonna have an impact on you

你的同事、跟你對談的人，他們都對你產生影響

whether it�塜 positive or negative. Now, should you stop talking and hanging out with

不論是正面還是負面。那你不應該再跟妳的好同事相處嗎？

all those nice people you work with? Of course not! As you said, they're amazing, good

當然不是！因為如妳所說，他們是很棒、

hearted people. But I do wanna give you the secret to getting yourself back on track.

心地很好的人，但我想教你一些重回正軌的秘訣

It's something I heard from Oprah a few months back when I was at her Life You Want

這是我幾個月前從歐普拉《Life You Want Weekend》節目聽到的

Weekend. So she told this story from when she was a little girl and it's something that she did that helped her thrive

她說自己還是小女孩時，就用這方法幫助她成功

no matter what environment she found herself in. So

不論她身處什麼環境

she memorized the poem Invictus and she put a huge emphasis on these last 2 lines:

她記下《永不屈服》這首詩，並且特別強調以下兩句話：

"I am the master of my fate. I am the captain of my soul."

「我乃命運之主宰者， 我乃靈魂之領航人」

Claudia, you're gotta take responsibility for your behavior and realize that you too

克勞蒂亞，妳必須為妳的行為負責，也要明白妳是命運的主宰者

are the master of your fate and the captain of your soul. And the captain doesn't get

靈魂的領航人，船長不會在啟航之後說

on the boat and go, oh no, where is this boat going?

「噢不，這艘船該往哪開啊？」

The captain steers the boat where the captain wants it to go.

船長會往他想走的方向航行

So, Claudia, you're got to take the wheel of your ship and start steering it somewhere inspiring.

妳必須為妳的船掌舵，往光明的方向航行

Now, I know you also said you feel kind of numb and like you're in a funk.

好，我知道妳說妳像行屍走肉而感到恐慌

Well, whenever I'm in a funk and I need to get motivated again, you know what I do?

每當我陷入恐慌想找回動力的時候，妳知道我怎麼做嗎？

I have myself a dance party and I dance it out. Hard.

我會辦個跳舞派對，用力大跳一場

Does having a dance party sound trite? Maybe. But there's undeniable power in combining

聽起來很老套嗎？也許吧! 但當肢體律動配上超讚音樂

physical movement with awesome music. And once you do your dance party you're gotta

不可否認的會產生一股力量，在跳舞的時候妳會問自己

ask yourself, what's the next best action I should be taking? Maybe you're gonna wanna

下一步該做什麼最好？也許妳會想去博物館

go to a museum, maybe you wanna go see a movie, maybe you're gonna head out to a bookstore.

也許去看電影，也許去書店

Doesn't matter, the point is you need to take immediate action.

都無所謂，重點是妳得立刻行動

Next I wanna challenge you to something that you may not have considered. Being the captain

接下來我要提一些妳可能想都沒想過的點子

also means that you lead your crew. So you're got all these amazing people at work, why

身為船長意味著妳要帶領船員，所以對於妳的好同事

not start some inspiring conversations with them? Ask them about their talents, their

何不跟他們聊些激勵人心的事，聊他們的才華

families, their hopes and dreams.

他們的家人、他們的希望與夢想

You can actually lead them to start having these incredible conversations with you.

妳能帶領他們進行這些美好的對話

Finally, you're got to make it your priority to expand your circle of influence. When I

最後，擴大影響圈將是妳的第一要務

first started I didn't really have that many ambitious friends either and I remember going

當我剛起步時，我也沒什麼有野心的朋友

to Toastmasters and I got my butt out and I went to business conferences and online marketing conferences

我記得我加入國際演講協會，然後卯起來參加創業會談跟網路行銷大會

to meet other like minded people. Today I'm surrounded by the most creative and ambitious people you could possibly imagine.

為了認識更多有想法的人。現在，我身邊圍繞創造力強又野心勃勃的人

So bottom line, Claudia, I want you

所以，克勞蒂亞，最重要的是

to remember that, yes, you are the master of your fate and the captain of your soul

妳要記住妳是命運的主宰者、靈魂的領航人

and each and every day you're gotta take that wheel and make sure that you're steering your ship in the right direction.

每一天妳都要好好掌舵，確保妳的船往正確的方向航行

That was my A to your Q Claudia, let us know how it goes. And now I would love to hear

以上是我的回應，請讓我知道後續進展。現在我想聽聽大家的意見

from you. Do you believe that you're the average of the people that you spend time

你同意「在最常來往的五個人中，你是他們的平均值」嗎？

with? And if you ambition level isn't where you think it should be, what are 3 specific

如果妳的野心不如妳預期，妳會採取哪三項行動

action steps that you could take to steer your ship in the direction of your dreams?

幫助你回到夢想的航道上？
