你终将找到自己的节奏
We all find the rhythm.
我们终将会找到属于自己的节奏。
We all remember our first days of high-school, college, our first job.
这些场景都历历在目吧:高中第一天,大学第一天,上班第一天。
We all remember the feelings of butterflies in our stomachs when we took our first steps into those positions, the feeling that we were unqualified for what we were doing, that we didn’t belong.
我们都记得迈出第一步时,心中的手足无措,担心自己不够格、担心自己不属于这个地方。
What if my coworkers don’t like me?
要是同事们不喜欢我怎么办?
What if I’m terrible at my work?
要是我做出的工作成果很糟糕怎么办?
What if I mess everything up?
要是我把一切搞砸了怎么办?
These are the thoughts that run through your mind during those first few days as you tiptoe your way around the workplace, being careful that you don’t do anything that will get you noticed, with the fear that when they notice you, you will mess up. But eventually you do get noticed, and you don’t mess up, and soon you develop a rhythm.
这些都是工作的头几天里,脑海中会浮现出的想法。你小心翼翼地在公司里走着,恨不得踮起脚尖,生怕自己的一举一动会引起周围人的注意,生怕自己搞砸一切。然而,你终究还是受到了关注,但你并没有搞砸,并且你很快就找到了自己的节奏。
It has only been a week and you have already fallen into a rhythm. You walk into your workplace and say hello to the receptionist who now knows you by name, you get you morning coffee and strike up a conversation with a coworker who you’ve quickly developed a friendship with. Whereas before you looked around chaotically for the sugar and cream, now the location is familiar and your reach for it instinctual. You walk to your desk, take a rejuvenating sip of coffee, and look over your daily schedule that has become all too familiar to you.
仅仅过去了一周,你的节奏愈发自如。走进公司,你会很自然地和前台打招呼,而他们也叫得出你的名字。取咖啡的时候,你会和同事攀谈起来,不知不觉中你们已经建立了友谊。以前你焦头烂额地到处找糖和奶油,如今你可以轻松自如地找到它们。你走到办公桌前,小啜一口咖啡,一天的活力注满了全身。接着,你从容地翻阅着日程表,里面的内容都已太熟悉了。
You notice a new task that you haven’t encountered before, but you no longer feel uncertainty and fear of messing it up. You have survived a week in this place without messing up, people have congratulated you on how good of a job you’ve done, and you belong here. A smirk creases over your face as you look forward to undertaking this new unproven challenge. The day begins and you fall into your rhythm.
即使接到以前从没接触过的任务,你也会胸有成竹,不再担心自己会搞砸了。你已在这个地方度过了一周,没有搞砸任何事,人们甚至为你出色的绩效而喝彩。你属于这里。所以在准备迎接这个未知挑战的时候,你的脸上露出了一丝得意的笑容。新的一天又开始了,你找到了属于自己的节奏。

生命中的四位爱人
There was a rich merchant who had 4 wives. He loved the 4th wife the most and adorned her with rich robes and treated her to delicacies. He took great care of her and gave her nothing but the best.
从前,一位富有的商人娶了四个老婆。他最爱他的小老婆,给她华丽的衣裳和美味佳肴。他对她体贴入微,把最好的东西都给了她。
He also loved the 3rd wife very much. He's very proud of her and always wanted to show her off to his friends. However, the merchant is always in great fear that she might run away with some other men.
商人也很爱第三位老婆。他为她感到骄傲,并常把她作为在朋友面前炫耀的资本。但他同时也忧心忡忡,怕她与其他男人跑了。
He too, loved his 2nd wife. She is a very considerate person, always patient and in fact is the merchant's confidante. However, the merchant faced some problems, he always turned to his 2nd wife and she would always help him out and tide him through difficult times.
当然,商人也爱二老婆,她既善解人意又耐心。事实上,她是商人的红颜知己。每每遇到困难,他就会找她,而她也总能帮助他走出困境,度过难关。
Now, the merchant's 1st wife is a very loyal partner and has made great contributions in maintaining his wealth and business as well as taking care of the household. However, the merchant did not love the first wife and although she loved him deeply, he hardly took notice of her.
至于大老婆,她是一位忠诚的伴侣,替他照料生意、打理家务,忙里忙外,可谓劳苦功高。然而,尽管她爱得这么深,商人却偏不钟情于她,甚至没把她放在心上。
One day, the merchant fell ill. Before long, he knew that he was going to die soon. He thought of his luxurious life and told himself, "Now I have 4 wives with me. But when I die, I'll be alone. How lonely I'll be!"
一日,商人得了重病,他自知将不久于人世。当他回顾自己奢华的一生,不禁心中怅然:“现在我虽然有四个老婆相伴,但死后却要孤零零一人。多寂寞啊!”
Thus, he asked the 4th wife, "I loved you most, endowed you with the finest clothing and showered great care over you. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?"
于是,他问小老婆:“我最疼你,给你买最漂亮的衣服,还对你呵护备至。现在我就要离开这个世界了,你愿意随我而去,与我相伴吗?”
"No way!" replied the 4th wife and she turned away without another word.
“绝不可能!”她丢下一句话,径自走开了。
The answer cut like a sharp knife right into the merchant's heart. The sad merchant then asked the 3rd wife, "I have loved you so much for all my life. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?"
小老婆的回答如一把尖刀插在商人心上。伤心的商人继而问第三个老婆:“我一直对你宠爱有加。如今,我将不久于人世,你愿意随我而去,与我相伴吗?”
"No!" replied the 3rd wife. "Life is so good over here! I'm going to remarry when you die!" The merchant's heart sank and turned cold.
“不!”她拒绝道,“人间的生活多么美好啊!你死后我会改嫁他人!”商人的心倏地下沉,渐渐变冷。
He then asked the 2nd wife, "I've always turned to you for help and you've always helped me out. Now I need your help again. When I die, will you follow me and keep me company?"
他再转向二老婆,问道:“我过去常常求助于你,你也总能为我排忧解难。现在我想再请你帮一次忙。我死后,你愿意随我而去,与我相伴吗?”
"I'm sorry, I can't help you out this time!" replied the 2nd wife. "At the very most, I can only send you to your grave." The answer came like a bolt of thunder and the merchant was devastated.
“很抱歉,这一次我帮不了你,”她说,“我最多只能让你入土为安。”这句话犹如晴天霹雳,商人彻底绝望了。
Then a voice called out: "I'll leave with you. I'll follow you no matter where you go." The merchant looked up and there was his first wife. She was so skinny, almost like she suffered from malnutrition. Greatly grieved, the merchant said, "I should have taken much better care of you while I could have!"
这时,旁边传来一个声音:“我愿意随你一同离去。无论你到哪里,我都会跟着你。”商人抬起头,看到了自己的大老婆。她是那么消瘦,一副营养不良的样子。商人悲痛万分,他说:“我过去就应该好好地珍惜你啊!”
Actually, we all have 4 wives in our lives.
其实,我们每个人的一生都有四位爱人相伴。
The 4th wife is our body. No matter how much time and effort we lavish in making it look good, it'll leave us when we die.
小老婆代表我们的躯体。无论我们花费多少的时间和精力想去装扮她,我们死后它终会弃我们而去。
Our 3rd wife is our possessions, status and wealth. When we die, they all go to others.
第三位老婆代表财产、地位与金钱。一旦我们撒手西去,它终究会转向他人。
The 2nd wife is our family and friends. No matter how close they had been there for us when we're alive, the furthest they can stay by us is up to the grave.
二老婆则代表了我们的家人与朋友。我们活着的时候,无论他们与我们多么亲近,他们最多也只能到墓前送我们最后一程。
The 1st wife is in fact our soul, often neglected in our pursuit of material, wealth and sensual pleasure.
至于大老婆,她则是我们的灵魂。当我们沉迷于追求物质、金钱或感官享受的时候,她常常会被遗忘在一旁。
Guess what? It is actually the only thing that follows us wherever we go. Perhaps it's a good idea to cultivate and strengthen it now rather than to wait until we're on our deathbed to lament.
结果呢?她才是唯一与我们永远相伴的。也许从现在开始,我们就应该悉心照顾好她,而不是等到临终之际才悔恨不已。

伟大存在于平凡之中
Greatness is not this wonderful, esoteric, elusive god-like feature that only the special among us will ever taste. It is something that truly exists in all of us. The way it manifests itself in all of us differs from person to person.
“伟大”并不是什么特殊的人才能体会到的特质,也没有那么精妙奇异、难以捉摸,甚至被神化。他真实地存在于我们所有人当中。每个人所表现出来的方式又因人而异。
For those of us who are compassionate we sway others to our causes with our empathy.
那些富有同情心的,凭着自己的执着,号召他人加入自己的事业。
For those of us who are resourceful we complete our tasks without the resources we need.
那些足智多谋的,无需借助太多外力就能达成目标。
For those of us who are creative we find the solutions that no one else can think of.
那些勇于创新的,能找到独一无二的方法解决问题。
Creativity, communication, cooperation, decisiveness, leadership, love, passion, we are all born with different attributes that make us great, and it is our duty to discover that greatness. Discovering it is half the battle.
创造力、沟通能力、合作能力、决断力、领导力、爱与激情,我们与生俱来这些不同的特质,从而造就我们的伟大,发掘伟大的潜质是我们的责任。一旦发现了自己的潜质,我们就已经成功了一半。
When you do find out what it is that makes you great you will see the world before you and understand what opportunity lies in wait. It was waiting there for you all along, waiting for you to come to the realization that everything you needed to succeed in life was within you all along, and you will want to tell the whole world what you found, you will want to tell people about the greatness inside each of them, but they won’t understand because each person must discover it and declare it on their own.
当你发现了造就你的伟大的特质,你就能看清眼前的世界,就能明白是什么样的机遇在等着你。它一直在这里等了你,等着你醒悟过来,认识到成功所需的一切品质都一直都蕴藏在自己的灵魂里。你会想要告诉整个世界自己的发现,你会想要告诉大家每个人蕴藏着的伟大,可是他们不会明白,因为伟大需要每个人自己去发现,去把自己的发现宣告给这个世界。
