生日快乐吗?过生日我们该反思的15个问题

2014-05-03来源:lifehack
11. How do I feel?
感觉如何?

How do you honestly feel about yourself? You can lie to whoever you choose, but be honest with yourself. If you’re unhappy with a situation, make the necessary changes to make it better. Sometimes this means quitting a job or packing up and moving. Even if you’re wrong, you’ll survive, and at least you’ll know for next time.
实打实地,你觉得自己如何?你可以对任何人撒谎,但对自己则绝对要坦诚。如果你不喜欢某个环境,那就采取必要改变来让它变得更好。有时这意味着你得辞去一份工作或者打包走人。就算错了也没什么,至少下次你心里会有数。

12. What’s my motivation?
我的动力是什么?

Actors ask this all the time, and there’s a reason—you need to know what’s motivating you to get up every morning to keep living. Times will get hard, no matter what path you’re on, so figure out what drives you, and focus on that.
演员常常问这样的问题。原因在于——你需要清楚是什么激励你每天早晨起来继续过日子。不论你选择怎样的道路,生活总会有艰难的时候,所以弄清自己的动力,然后全力以赴吧。

13. Am I aging gracefully?
我是优雅地老去吗?

Sometimes you have to maintain your youth, and sometimes you need to let go. How you decide to live is up to you, but make sure you’re at least doing it with grace and compassion. Nobody likes a Debbie or Donald Downer.
有时你不得不竭力保持年轻,有时却应懂得顺其自然。怎样生活取决于你自己,但至少应懂得从容宽和地面对。没有人喜欢阴郁丧气的人。

14. Who are these people?
这些人是谁?

Do you have any heroes? If so, what were they doing at your age? One of my childhood heroes was Tupac Shakur, and at my age, he had been dead for six years. That’s a sobering thought that keeps me pushing toward greatness with humbleness.
你有崇拜的人吗?若有,他们在你这个年纪在干什么呢?图派克-夏库尔是我小时候很崇拜的一个人,在我这个年纪,他已经去世6年了。这一发人深省的想法一直激励我谦虚努力着。

15. Was it worth it?
是否值得?

At the end of the day, was everything you’ve done worth it? Even if you lose, if you enjoyed or appreciated the experience of trying, then you’ve won. If you lost more than you wanted, it may be time to make a change in your life.
一天结束时,你是否做完了所有的事情?哪怕失败,如果你能享受或珍惜尝试的经历,那也是一种成功。如果惨败得一塌糊涂,或许你该对自己的生活做出改变了。
