Hey it's Marie Forleo and you're watching MarieTV, the place to be to create a business and a life that you love.

嘿，我是瑪莉．芙萊奧（美國跨多行業專家），你正在收看的是 Marie TV，這裡能讓你學會創造你所熱愛的事業與生活，

And today is Q&A Tuesday and that means today's question comes from Miss Kristen and she writes:

今天是星期二的你問我答時間，今天的問題來自克莉絲汀小姐，上面寫道：

"Hi Marie, here's my Q. What is something you know now that you wish you'd known earlier to help get where you are today? Thanks so much, Kristen."

「嗨，瑪莉，我的問題是，妳現在有沒有什麼事情，是妳恨不得早點知道得以早點成就今日的妳？非常感謝妳，克莉絲汀上。」

克莉絲汀，這其實是一個很有趣的問題。

You know, it's in my DNA not to have regrets, so everything that I experienced kind of on my whole path, for me, it's been quite perfect.

妳知道嗎？我的字典裡沒有「後悔」這兩個字所以任何我所過經歷過、走過的道路，對我而言，都是非常完美、毫無缺憾的。

All the missteps, all the mistakes, they've helped make me stronger and it's actually made me more equipped to help and support people today.

任何過失、任何錯誤，都使我變得更加堅強，也才能讓今日的我擁有更多能力來幫助、支持其他人，

But when I really thought about your question, one thing came to mind.

但當我思考著妳問的問題時我的腦中浮現出一個想法。

You know, I think about all the time that I wasted that I can never get back trying to figure out what to call myself.

你知道嗎，我回想我過去所花時間做的事情上，其實我很難摸透出我自己到底是一個什麼樣的人。

So you've got to realize, when I first started out as a coach, I was also a bartender and I did fitness and I did hip hop through Crunch and with Nike.

因為你要瞭解到，我一開始在當人家指導教師的時候我也是個酒保，我也健身，我還在 Crunch 健身房穿著 Nike 球鞋跳嘻哈 (譯註: Crunch Fitness是美國連鎖健身俱樂部，在全球有超過140家的據點)

Now, I spent tons of time and I would torture Josh on these beach walks practically crying trying to nail my elevator speech.

我花了很多時間在上面，甚至和我老公喬許在沙灘散步的時候，還逼他一起陪我搞定我的電梯簡報，那時候幾乎就快哭出來。

I mean, was I a business coach, was I a life coach, was I a productivity coach?

我想說的是，我到底是一位商業教戰導師？一位生活導師？還是一位效力訓練導師？

Do I tell people about Nike and fitness? What about my love for marketing and spirituality?

我要跟人家說關於 Nike 和健身的事嗎？那我對行銷與精神上事物的熱愛怎麼辦？

我想說的是，難不成我是一位唱嘻哈的生命指導老師嗎？

Ok, so I actually didn't do that then but I'm really happy I did it now because it was fun.

好啦，雖然我當時沒有那麼做，但我很高興現在真的做到了，因為這一切真的很有趣呢。

So here's the thing, what I didn't realize way back then was the thing that's so much more important than some canned elevator speech was the depth and the quality of my work.

所以重點就是，回想過去時，我所未曾意識到的，其實是遠比那死板的電梯簡報重要好幾倍的事情，那就是我事業做的深度與品質。

I wish I could tell my younger self, "Hey, just keep growing, keep focusing on serving more people, improving your skills, and everything will be just fine."

我希望我能告訴年輕時的自己：「嘿，繼續好好發展，繼續專注在服務更多人群上繼續磨練你的才能，一切都會船到橋頭自然直的。」

Now, I know of course some people can easily describe who they are and what they do in a quick sentence and that can be really, really useful for getting ahead, but for me that's never been the case and, to be honest, it's still not the case now.

我當然知道有些人能夠輕易用簡單一句話就說出他們是什麼人，他們是做什麼的，甚至幫助到他們未來也從何邁進，但對我來說，卻從不是那麼一回事，老實說，就算現在也還是一樣，

But it has never held me back. So if I could tell myself, my younger self, one thing it would be this: forget about the speech and enjoy the beach.

但這卻從不讓我感到畏縮，所以要是我可以告訴年輕時的自己一件事，那就是：「忘了電梯簡報，好好享受當下吧。」

Now, even with all that said, I really wouldn't change any of it because, number one, that experience really helps me relate to multi passionate people who struggle to fit themselves into a conventional box, much like me.

好啦，雖然我那麼說，但我不希望過去真的能被改寫，因為第一那些經驗幫助我理解到，其實有更多像我這樣充滿熱情的人糾結於該不該循規蹈矩，落入傳統的框架。

And, of course, number two, I get to love on Josh even more because he was so patient with me when I ruined so many of our romantic beach walks.

第二，我更愛我老公喬許了，因為他即使在我毀掉這麼多次在沙灘上的浪漫甜蜜時光，還能那麼有耐心地陪伴著我。

所以我們就以下面這則推特轉發訊息做總結吧。

If you could avoid all your mistakes, you'd miss everything you learn from them.

「如果你真的避掉所有錯誤，那你就永遠也無法從中學取教訓。」

That was my A to your Q, Kristen, thank you so much for asking it.

以上就是我針對妳的問題，所進行的回覆，克莉絲汀，很謝謝妳提出這樣的問題，

And now I would love to hear from you. What's one thing that you know now that you wish you'd known sooner?

現在我想聽聽看你們的意見，有沒有哪件事情是你恨不得早點知道的呢？
