Alright. Today I wanna talk to you about why it's important to learn to be alone.

好啦，不鬧了。今天我想跟你們聊聊關於為什麼學會獨處很重要

When I was in college, I took acting classes.

我在大學時 曾選修戲劇課

During those two semesters, I not only learned about acting skills but also developed a sort of philosophy of life.

在那兩學期中，我不僅學習了演戲的技術，還發展出一套人生哲學

And it goes like this, 10% of the time you're on the stage, you're under the limelight,

它是這樣的，10% 的時間 你站在舞台上，你在聚光燈下，

looking all glamorous, savoring applause from your passionate crowd.

看起來容光煥發，享受著熱情群眾的掌聲

Those are the good moments in life. And then there's the rest of the 90 percent of time.

享受著熱情群眾的掌聲。接下來，還有剩下的90%時間

That's when you're off stage, behind the curtains, striving to hit the stage in the first place, chasing your dreams,

你在舞台下，在簾幕後面，奮鬥著要邁向舞台，追逐你的夢想

overcoming daily obstacles that come along the way.

克服每天接踵而來的阻礙

That's when you're unseen, when you're unnoticed.

那些時刻，你是不被看見的、不被注意到的

That's when life is not full of balloons and confetti falling from the sky. That's when you're just another ordinary face in the crowd.

那些人生時刻 不僅沒有滿天氣球，也沒有五彩紙片從天而降。那些時刻 你只不過是眾多人群中的另一張面孔罷了

However, those are the moments that define who you are. You see, it's easy to behave, perform, do well,

然而，是這些時刻定義了你是誰。要在人群面前舉止合宜、表現優良，或甚至裝個樣子都很容易

or even put on an act when you're surrounded by people. The problem is, can you do the same when you're alone?

或甚至裝個樣子都很容易。問題是 當你獨自一人時，也做的到嗎？

For example,

例如，

from where I come from, students go to study centers to study.

在我的家鄉 學生們會去 K 書中心讀書

And in those rooms everybody studies like crazy under that atmosphere. And that prompts you to stay focused in that mode so you can act alike.

在那些房間那種氣氛裡，每個人都像發了瘋似地在讀書。這會促使你也專注在讀書模式 所以你也能這樣做

But when you're studying home alone, that's a total different story. We're all experienced in that, right?

但是當你獨自一人在家讀書時，那完全是另一回事。我們都滿有經驗的，不是嗎？

When we're home alone studying, we might be really studying at first.

當我們一個人在家讀書時，或許一開始真的是在讀書

But then you can't help yourself and you start turning on the TV. You watch TV for a bit.

但沒多久，你就忍不住打開電視。稍微看一下電視

And then you get your hands on your smartphone for a bit. You start watching YouTube for a bit.

再稍微玩一下手機，你開始看 YouTube

You watch my videos for a bit. Hopefully.

你又看了一下我的影片，希望是

And then you get tired and you nap for a bit. And after that you might get back to studying for a little bit more

然後，你累了就小睡一下。在那之後，你可能又再稍微回去讀一下書

It's much harder to behave and perform well when we're by ourselves

獨自一個人的時候要表現好是更加困難的

'Cos when we're alone, to be honest, we just wanna chill.

因為當我們一個人的時候，老實說，我們只想要放鬆

It's human nature. When we're alone, we're more prone to our weaknesses We become lazier.

這是天性啊！當我們獨處時，我們比較容易輸給自己的弱點，會變懶

We tend to waste more time. We become less productive. We're much more easily enticed by negative things surrounding us. Need not to mention.

我們會浪費時間、我們的生產力下降、會更容易被身旁負面的事物給誘惑，就不提了

So in conclusion,

所以結論是，

we're weaker when we're on our own. Acceptable, 'cos we're social animals after all.

當我們獨自一人時，是更加軟弱的。可以接受啦，畢竟我們是社會性動物

Bonding makes us stronger. There's no arguing with that. But try to wrap your head around this the other way.

緊密的人際關係使我們變得更強大，這是不爭的事實。但試著從另一個角度來理解

What if we could bring out the best in ourselves even when there's no one out there to give us credit for it.

如果我們可以帶出最好的自己，甚至是當沒有任何人給我們認定時

You're the only person (that) you are responsible to.

你只對自己負責

You're the only person who sees your own deeds. If we could manage to keep ourselves in shape, both physically and mentally in solitary.

只有你看得見自己的行為。如果我們可以在獨處時讓自己保持最佳狀態，兼顧生理與心理層面

Wouldn't we be able to bring out even better result when we're in a crowd?

那當我們在人群中不就可以做得更好嗎？

Life is like a soccer game.

人生就像是一場足球比賽

It requires intense teamwork but also excellence in individual skill.

它需要高度的團隊合作，但也強調個人卓越的技術

I like a movie called “The Shawshank Redemption”

我喜歡一部電影叫《刺激1995》

The main character, Andy, was sentenced to lifetime in prison while he was innocent of killing his wife and her lover.

主角安迪被判決終身監禁，但其實他是無辜的 (太太與太太的情人遭到殺害)

A young, rich American banker deprived of everything he had.

一個年輕、富有的美國銀行家被剝奪了人生的一切

Locked up in a small jail cell. Alone, cut off from society.

被關在一個小牢房。孤獨、與社會脫離

However, he managed to keep his sanity by creating a little hope for himself.

然而，他設法保持自己的理智，為自己創造了一絲希望

Making impossible friends. Doing little favors. Helping out other inmates. And for 19 years, without missing a day, night after night,

結交不可能的朋友、施予別人恩惠、幫助其他獄友。而在 19 年後，他每天

executing his ultimate escape plan. It tells us how a glimmer of hope can drive people to do the impossible.

執行自己的逃亡計畫。這故事告訴我們，一絲的希望如何驅使人做到不可能的事

It tells you bow strong self-discipline and managing the environment can make people do the incredible.

它告訴我們，強大的自制能力，及治理環境，可以讓人們做到不可思議的事

So, to wrap it up. Learn how to live with yourself.

所以，來做個收尾。學習如何自處吧！

If you master that, you can confidently, easily fit into any condition,

如果你精通自處之道，你就能夠有自信地、輕鬆地縙入任何情境

either in abundance or poverty, in the public eye or when alone.

無論富有或貧困、在公眾注目下，或獨自一人

There are both things that you can take away either when you're in a group of people or when you're all alone.

無論是跟一群人在一起，或是獨自一人，都有可以學習的東西

But it's the 90 percent of moments that make who we are.

但是，那百分之九十造就了我們

Peace

耶
