睁大自己的眼睛
荷叶/译
一位年轻人问：“爷爷，您为什么一生中成就卓著，还依然精力充沛，而我却已经疲于奔命了呢？我怎样才能拥有你那份热情？”
下面是爷爷的回答。
我认为这很大成分与一个人如何看待事物有关。我称之为“睁大你的眼睛”。
首先，要认识到生活中充满了意外，但其中许多是惊喜。如果你不一直睁眼注视的话，就会错过一半的激动。偶尔期待着欣喜若狂，你会得到的。
当你遇到挑战时，欢迎它。这会令你更聪明，更强大，更有能力。当你犯错误时，感激它。它会教你许多东西，并决定用这个教训帮你实现自己的目标。
永远遵守规则，即使是微不足道的。遵守规则，生活才顺畅。如果你认为违背规则可以逃脱惩罚，那是在自欺欺人。
决定你到底想要什么也很重要。然后集中心力于此，并准备好接受它。
但也要准备好结局是另外的情况。随着岁月的增长，你将会被赋予更重要的职位。因此，人要像迎接富有挑战的开始一样，准备好迎接结局。
有时你要勇敢地从熟悉走向陌生。生活不只是登顶。从一座山峰走向另一座山峰是生活的一部分。如果在两座山之间逗留太久，你就会受到引诱而止步不前。让过去的成为过去。攀登下一座高峰，去享受新的风景。
丢掉那些情感上、精神上的烦恼。当旧的怨恨、信仰、态度变得沉重时，轻装简行。摆脱那些刻薄的态度，它们会减慢你的步伐，耗尽你的精力。
记住你的选择决定你的成败。因此，要考虑好前面的每一条道路，选出自己要走的路。然后就要相信自己，奋起，前行。
保证偶尔休息一下。这会为你追梦注入新的信心，同时乐观并健康地洞察一切也至关重要。
最重要的是：永远不要对自己丧失信心。最后的赢家是那个坚定信心一定要赢的人。把自己的一切奉献给生活，生活会回报你以最好。
附：原文 A young man once asked his grandpa, "Grandpa, how is it that you've accomplished so much in your life? You're still full of energy and I'm already tired of struggling. How can I get the same enthusiasm that you've got?" The following is the grandpa's answer: I think a lot of it has to do with how a person looks at things. I call it"keeping your eyes wide open". First, realize that life is filled with surprises, but many are good ones.If you don't keep watching for them, you'll miss half the excitement. Expect tobe thrilled once in a while, and you will be. When you meet up with challenges, welcome them. They'll leave you wiser,stronger, and more capable than you were the day before. When you make amistake, be grateful for the things it taught you. Resolve to use that lessonto help you reach your goals. And always follow the rules——even the little ones. When you follow therules, life works. If you think you can ever really get by with breaking therules, you're only fooling yourself. It's also important to decide exactly what you want. Then keep your mind focused on it, and be prepared to receive it. But be ready to end up in some new places too. As you grow with the years,you'll be given bigger shoes to fill. So be ready for endings as well as challenging beginnings. Sometimes we have to be brave enough to move from the familiar to the unfamiliar. Life isn't just reaching peaks. Part of it is moving from one peakto the next. If you rest too long in between, you might be tempted to quit. Leave the past in the past. Climb the next mountain and enjoy the view. Dump things that weigh you down emotionally and spiritually. When an old resentment, belief or attitude becomes heavy, lighten your load. Shed those hurtful attitudes that slow you down and drain your energy. Remember that your choices will create your successes and your failures.So consider all the pathways ahead, and decide which ones to follow. Thenbelieve in yourself, get up, and get going. And be sure to take breaks once in a while. They'll give you a renewed commitment to your dreams, and a cheerful, healthy perception of the things that matter the most to you. Most important of all: never give up on yourself. The person that ends upa winner is the one who resolves to win. Give life everything you've got, and life will give its best back to you. |
