不可能清单:其实你也可以做得到
Many people have what they call a “bucket list”: namely, a list of things they want to experience or accomplish before they die. Sometimes, a bucket list just doesn’t cut it, however, which is why making an “impossible list” is the way to go. Following the rules of Joel Runyon’s impossible list, learn how to accomplish the things that you think you’ll never be able to do, and how to drive yourself to do more.
很多人都有“愿望清单”:即他们死前想经历或完成的事情。但有时,愿望清单达不到人们的要求,这就是为什么要去制作“不可能清单”。 跟随乔尔-鲁尼恩不提出的“不可能清单”的规则,学习如何实现你觉得不可能完成的事情,并促使自己去做更多。
What do you believe to be impossible?
你认为什么是不可能的事情?
The first step in this process is to figure out what you believe to be impossible. Some common activities include:
这个过程的第一步是找出你认为是不可能的事情。其中包括一些普通的活动:
Running a marathon
跑马拉松
Going skydiving
跳伞
Going a whole year without fast food
一年不吃快餐
Reaching a million Twitter followers
推特的粉丝数达到100万
Learning how to play piano
学弹钢琴
Learning a foreign language fluently
学习一门外语,达到流利的程度
These are the things that you don’t think that you could accomplish in 100 years, yet you want to do your best to achieve them.
这些是你觉得自己在100年内都完成不了的事情,然而你却想尽力去完成它们。
Bucket Lists
愿望清单
An impossible list isn’t a bucket list. It’s not a guide for you to accomplish things that you think are possible and that you want to do before you do; an impossible list is what you think is IMPOSSIBLE. It’s important to separate the two very different types of lists and focus on the impossible.
不可能清单并不是愿望清单。它不是用来引导你让你完成自己觉得可能的事情和你以前想做的事情;不可能清单是你认为不可能完成事情的清单。很重要的一点是:要把这两种不同的清单区别开,并专注于不可能清单。
The reason why it’s called an impossible list is because you find the activity to be impossible to accomplish, while a bucket lists suggests a list of things that you know you can accomplish if you put your mind to it. The main difference between the two is that an impossible list not only requires a strong mind, it also requires a strong body, sense of self, and passion to always do more.
称为不可能清单的原因是你发现清单上的活动不可能完成,而愿望清单是一些你集中精力就能完成的事情。两者的主要不同在于不可能清单不仅需要坚强的意志,它还需要强壮的身体、感觉和激情来做得更多。
