　　為了成功訓(xùn)練自己 Train Yourself For Success

　　Ever seen a great champion boxer like Manny Pacquiao? With his speed, agility and power, he has conquered lots of other great boxers of the twenty first century. In between fights, he keeps his training regime and intensifies it when another fight approaches.

　　你是否曾見(jiàn)過(guò)像曼尼•帕奎奧這樣偉大的拳擊手?擁有速度、力量和靈活性，他戰(zhàn)勝了21世紀(jì)許多偉大的拳擊手。在比賽間隔期，帕奎奧堅(jiān)持訓(xùn)練，并在比賽來(lái)臨前增加訓(xùn)練強(qiáng)度。

　　Just like a boxer, we, too come face to face with many opponents in the arena of life—problems and difficulties. The bad news is, we don’t really know when our bouts with these opponents occur—no posters and promotional TV commercials; no pre-fight Press Conference and weigh in to make sure that we measure up to our opponent; and there is no Pay Per View coverage.

　　跟一個(gè)拳擊手一樣，我們?cè)谏畹拇笪枧_(tái)上會(huì)遇到很多對(duì)手——問(wèn)題和困難。壞消息是，我們不知道什么時(shí)候?qū)?huì)與這些“拳擊對(duì)手”交手——沒(méi)有宣傳海報(bào)和電視促銷廣告，沒(méi)有賽前新聞發(fā)布會(huì)和保證我們級(jí)別相當(dāng)?shù)捏w重測(cè)量，也沒(méi)有出場(chǎng)費(fèi)。

　　Here are several reasons why you should train yourself for success like a champion boxer!

　　為什么我們應(yīng)該像一個(gè)拳擊冠軍那樣訓(xùn)練自己?原因有以下幾點(diǎn)。

　　You don’t practice in the arena, that’s where your skills and your abilities are evaluated. This also means that you don’t practice solving problems and developing yourself when problems occur, you prepare yourself to face them long before you actually face them.

　　舞臺(tái)不是你練習(xí)技能的場(chǎng)所，而是評(píng)估你技能的地方。這也就意味著你不能在問(wèn)題出現(xiàn)時(shí)才練習(xí)著解決問(wèn)題、提升自己，你應(yīng)在真正面對(duì)問(wèn)題前就準(zhǔn)備好。

　　Talent is good but training is even better. Back in college, one of my classmates in Political Science did not bring any textbook or notebook in our classes; he just listened and participated in discussions. What I didn’t understand was how he became a magna cum laude! Apparently, he was gifted with a great memory and analytical skills. In short, he was talented.

　　有天賦是件好事情，但是訓(xùn)練更重要。還在大學(xué)時(shí)，我的一位學(xué)政治學(xué)同學(xué)上課時(shí)從不帶課本或者筆記，他只是聽(tīng)課、參與討論。我所不能理解的是他如何成為一名優(yōu)等生的!顯然，他被賜予了極好的記憶和分析能力，簡(jiǎn)言之，他是個(gè)天才。

　　If you are talented, you probably need less preparation and training time in facing life’s challenges. But for people who are endowed with talent, training and learning becomes even important. Avoid the lazy person’s maxim: “If it isn’t broken, why fix it?” Why wait for your roof to leak in the rainy season when you can fix it right away.

　　如果擁有天賦，你可能需要較少的準(zhǔn)備和訓(xùn)練就能應(yīng)對(duì)人生的挑戰(zhàn)。但是對(duì)天才而言，訓(xùn)練和學(xué)習(xí)更加重要。拋棄懶人的格言"羊未丟,何須補(bǔ)"吧。既然你現(xiàn)在就能搞定，為什么要等到下雨天讓屋漏雨呢?

　　Training enables you to gain intuition and reflexes. Malcolm Glad well, in his book Outliers, said those artists, athletes and anyone who wants to be successful, need 10,000 hours of practice to become really great. With constant practice and training, you hone your body, your mind and your heart and gain the intuition and reflexes of a champion. Same thing is true in life.

　　訓(xùn)練能使你獲得直覺(jué)和反應(yīng)力。馬爾科姆•格拉德威爾在他的書(shū)《Outliers》提到，藝術(shù)家、運(yùn)動(dòng)員或者任何想獲得成功的人，在變得真正優(yōu)秀之前都需要練習(xí)10000小時(shí)。經(jīng)過(guò)持續(xù)的練習(xí)和訓(xùn)練，你的身體和心智得到磨練，你從而具備了冠軍的直覺(jué)和反應(yīng)力。生活亦是如此。

　　Without training, you will mess up. Without training, you will not be able to anticipate how your enemy will hit you. You will trip at that hurdle. Your knees will buckle before you hit the marathon’s finish line. You will lose control of your race car after the first lap. With training, you lower the likelihood of these accidents

　　不經(jīng)過(guò)訓(xùn)練，你將會(huì)陷入困境。不經(jīng)過(guò)訓(xùn)練，你將無(wú)法預(yù)測(cè)你的敵人如何攻擊你，在障礙前跌倒，在沖過(guò)馬拉松終點(diǎn)線前筋疲力盡，剛跑完第一圈就對(duì)賽車失去控制。經(jīng)過(guò)訓(xùn)練，你將會(huì)降低這些意外發(fā)生的可能性，你將更強(qiáng)大、更有能力完成比賽。

　　Winners train. If you want to win, train yourself for it. You may be a lucky person and you can win a race, or overcome a problem at first try. But if you do not train, your victory may be like a one-time lottery win, which you cannot capitalize on over the long run. And you become fitter and more capable of finishing the race.

　　訓(xùn)練者獲勝。如果你想贏，那么為此訓(xùn)練自己。你可能是個(gè)幸運(yùn)兒，在第一次嘗試時(shí)就贏得了一場(chǎng)比賽或者解決了一個(gè)問(wèn)題。但是如果你不訓(xùn)練，你的勝利可能就像贏得了一次樂(lè)透彩，而這種運(yùn)氣并不能供你長(zhǎng)久利用。

　　Keep in mind that training is borne out of discipline and perseverance. Even if you encounter some setbacks in your training regime, if you keep at it and persevere, you will soon see results in your life and when problems come, you will be like the champion boxer who stands tall and fights until the final round is over and you’re proclaimed as the champion!

　　記住，訓(xùn)練需要紀(jì)律和毅力。即使你在訓(xùn)練時(shí)遇到了一些挫折，如果你努力堅(jiān)持下去，你會(huì)很快看到結(jié)果——當(dāng)生活問(wèn)題來(lái)時(shí)，你會(huì)像拳擊冠軍那樣高聳的戰(zhàn)斗到最后一輪，并被宣布獲勝。

　　假如生活重頭再來(lái)Living life over

　　If I had my life to live over……I would have talked less and listened more. I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was strained and the sofa faded. I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth. I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed. I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage. I would have sat on the lawn with my children and not worried about grass stains. I would have cried and laughed less while watching television - and more while watching life. I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding patter if I were not there for the day. I would never have bought anything just because it was practical，would not show soil or was guaranteed to last a life time. There would have been more“I love you”……more“I‘m sorry”……but mostly，given another shots at life，I would seize every minute……look at it and really see it……live it……and never give it back.

　　假如生活從頭再來(lái)假如我能重新生活,我會(huì)說(shuō)得更少，聽(tīng)得更多。我會(huì)邀請(qǐng)朋友來(lái)吃飯，即使地毯變臟,沙發(fā)褪色。我會(huì)花時(shí)間聽(tīng)我的祖父漫談他的年輕時(shí)光。我再也不會(huì)堅(jiān)持在某個(gè)夏天的某一天車窗一定要打開(kāi)，而我的頭發(fā)剛剛被噴膠并被做好。我會(huì)點(diǎn)燃雕得像朵玫瑰一樣的粉紅的蠟燭，在它被在存儲(chǔ)中融化之前。我會(huì)與我的孩子一起坐在草坪上，不用擔(dān)心草地上的污漬。我會(huì)在看電視時(shí)哭得更少,笑得更少，而更多的是觀察生活。當(dāng)我生病時(shí),我會(huì)上床睡覺(jué)，而不是假裝如果我不在一天,地球就會(huì)停止不動(dòng)。我再也不會(huì)購(gòu)買(mǎi)任何據(jù)說(shuō)是實(shí)用的,牢固的,保證可用一生的東西。我會(huì)說(shuō)更多的“我愛(ài)你.”……更多的“對(duì)不起.”……可是，我被生活再次擊倒，我會(huì)抓住每一分鐘……看看它,實(shí)實(shí)在在地看它……好好生活……決不讓它重頭再來(lái)。

　　通往幸福的秘密The secrets to happiness

　　We all know that money can’t buy happiness … but many times we act as if we’d be happier with a bit more money. We are conditioned to want to be rich (when we know the rich aren’t happy either); we are trained to want the latest gadget or style that television tells us to want; we want to earn more money because then we’ll have the good life.

　　我們都知道金錢(qián)買(mǎi)不來(lái)幸福，但我們都表現(xiàn)出如果我們的錢(qián)再多點(diǎn)就會(huì)更幸福的樣子。我們習(xí)慣于想要變的更有錢(qián)(當(dāng)我們知道富人也并不快樂(lè));在電視看到些最新的玩意兒或是最潮的風(fēng)格，我們也想要賺更多的錢(qián)因?yàn)槟菢游覀儗?huì)擁有更好的生活。

　　But none of that will bring us happiness. No matter how much we earn, no matter how much we have in the bank, no matter how nice our clothing or cars or toys, none of it will make us happier. And the sad thing is that it could take us decades of pursuing wealth and luxury items before we realize this.

　　但那些都不會(huì)帶給我們幸福。不管我們掙多少錢(qián)，不管我們?cè)阢y行擁有多少存款，不管我們的衣服汽車玩具有多好，它們都不會(huì)讓我們更快樂(lè)。令人難過(guò)的是在我們明白這一點(diǎn)之前，它會(huì)讓我們一直追求財(cái)富和奢侈品。

　　So what will bring us happiness? Luckily, it’s three things that don’t cost a thing. These three things have been proven by research — surveys of hundreds of thousands of people about what they have, what their lives are like, and how happy they are.

　　那么，究竟什么能帶給我們幸福呢?幸運(yùn)的是，有三樣?xùn)|西，它們不需要花費(fèi)其他任何。這三樣是被研究證明的——這項(xiàng)研究調(diào)查了數(shù)以十萬(wàn)的人們，包括他們擁有什么，他們的生活怎么樣以及他們有多快樂(lè)。

　　Here they are, the Three Secrets to Happiness:

　　那么，下面就是幸福的三個(gè)秘密：

　　1. Good relationships. We have a human need to be close, to be intimate, with other human beings. Having good, supportive friendships, a strong marriage or close and loving relationships with our family members will make us much more likely to be happy. Action steps: Take time, today, to spend time with your loved ones, to tell them what they mean to you, to listen to them, and develop your relationship with them.

　　1、良好的關(guān)系。我們同他人的親近、親密是人類的需求。擁有良好的、支持性的友誼、牢固的婚姻或是同家庭成員緊密有愛(ài)的關(guān)系會(huì)使我們更可能快樂(lè)。動(dòng)作步驟：今天就花時(shí)間同你愛(ài)的人在一起，告訴他們他們之于你的意義，傾聽(tīng)他們所說(shuō)的，進(jìn)一步發(fā)展同他們的關(guān)系。

　　2. Positive thinking. I’m obviously a big proponent of positive thinking as the best way to achieve your goals, but it turns out that it can lead to happiness too. Optimism and self-esteem are some of the best indicators of people who lead happy lives. Happy people feel empowered, in control of their lives, and have a positive outlook on life. Action steps: Make positive thinking a habit. In fact, this should be one of the first habits you develop. Get into the habit of squashing all negative thoughts and replacing them with positive ones. Instead of “I can’t” think“I can”. It may sound corny, but it has worked for me, every time.

　　2、積極的思考。積極思考是達(dá)成你目標(biāo)的最佳方式，我很顯然是這一想法的強(qiáng)烈支持者，但同時(shí)它也能指引你走向幸福。樂(lè)觀和自尊是快樂(lè)生活的人們的最佳寫(xiě)照?？鞓?lè)的人們感到充滿活力，能夠控制他們的生活，同時(shí)積極看待生活。動(dòng)作步驟：把積極思考培養(yǎng)成習(xí)慣。事實(shí)上，這應(yīng)該是你首先培養(yǎng)的習(xí)慣之一。養(yǎng)成粉碎你的負(fù)面想法并用積極的想法替代它們的習(xí)慣。用“我能”的想法替代“我不能”。盡管聽(tīng)起來(lái)毫無(wú)新意，但對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)每次都很奏效。

　　3. Flow. This is a popular concept on the Internet these days — the state we enter when we are completely focused on the work or task before us. We are so immersed in our task that we lose track of time. Having work and leisure that gets you in this state of flow will almost undoubtedly lead to happiness. People find greatest enjoyment not when they’re passively mindless, but when they’re absorbed in a mindful challenge. Action steps: Find work that you’re passionate about. Seriously — this is an extremely important step. Find hobbies that you’re passionate about. Turn off the TV — this is the opposite of flow — and get outside and do something that truly engages you.

　　3、流動(dòng)。這是最近網(wǎng)絡(luò)上一個(gè)流行的概念——當(dāng)我們?nèi)褙炞⒂谘矍暗墓ぷ骱腿蝿?wù)時(shí)我們進(jìn)入的狀態(tài)。我們太過(guò)沉浸于我們的任務(wù)以至于沒(méi)了時(shí)間觀念。擁有工作和休閑會(huì)讓你出于流動(dòng)的狀態(tài)，這幾乎毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)會(huì)讓你幸福。當(dāng)人們被動(dòng)地沒(méi)有意識(shí)時(shí)不會(huì)找尋到巨大地愉悅感，這種感覺(jué)只有當(dāng)他們專注于挑戰(zhàn)時(shí)才能獲得。動(dòng)作步驟：找一份你熱愛(ài)地工作。這是至關(guān)重要地一步。在找一個(gè)你有興趣地愛(ài)好。關(guān)掉電視機(jī)(這是流動(dòng)的反面)，走到戶外，進(jìn)行些你能夠真正參與進(jìn)去的活動(dòng)。

　　You’ve been given the Three Secrets to Happiness. Don’t waste them!

　　你已經(jīng)獲得了通往幸福的三個(gè)秘密，請(qǐng)不要浪費(fèi)它們!
