雙語閱讀：關于成功,幸福與創(chuàng)新的7條人生感悟

　　以下是學習啦小編整理的哲理類英語美文欣賞：關于成功,幸福與創(chuàng)新的7條人生感悟 ， 希望對你有所啟發(fā)。

　　I recently looked back at the last two years of my life and contemplated the lessons I've learned. I wasn't bored, wasn't in search for myself, and I wasn't reeling after a defeat; I simply wanted to improve and reflect. I think this is important — to appreciate our wins, losses, new passions, insights, etc. Not reflecting on our lives and experiences is, well, a wasted chance for growth and learning.

　　最近，我回顧了下自己在這兩年來的生活，而且還反思總結出了不少的人生感悟。我的生活很有趣，我知道自己想要的是什么，失敗過后我總能越戰(zhàn)越勇;我想要的僅僅是不斷地提升自己而已。我覺得珍視每一次成功與失敗以及新的激情和愿景等都是非常重要的。如果不從生活經歷中反思自省的話，我們就放棄了自我提升的絕好機會。

　　At first I was going to jot these lessons down in my diary but then remembered that we are in the age of information sharing and collaboration. So I thought that sharing them here will extend their meaning and benefit beyond my own personal gain and that's a great thing.

　　起先我是以日記的方式記錄下我的人生感悟，但后來我意識到我們都生活在一個信息收集與分享的時代。所以，我覺得把這些人生感悟分享給更多的人會更有意義。這樣不僅僅是我還有其他的讀者都會從中收獲價值。

　　So without further adieu, here are some of the more profound things I've learned recently:

　　言歸正傳，下面我就把自己的人生體會分享給大家：

　　1. Focus on the process and not the outcome

　　1.專注于過程而非結果

　　This thought was beautifully summed up by Srikumar Rao. He explains how we fail because we focus our energies on the outcome (the object or circumstance we desire) rather than the process itself. When a child learns to walk, she never focuses on the outcome but solely on the process. Success is then an unthought but very probable outcome.

　　這一思想曾被斯里庫馬·拉奧 ( Srikumar Rao)非常完美地詮釋過。他解釋了我們之所以會失敗的原因就是我們把注意力都聚焦在了結果(我們所渴望的某種東西或某種境況)上而不是過程上。小孩子在學走路的時候從不會在意結果會是怎樣的，他所關心的僅僅是這個過程。所以，心無旁騖地關注于過程，成功就會到來。

　　2. Failure is a lead not a stop sign

　　2.失敗意味著做出改變而非放棄追求

　　When you hit a wall and things don't turn up the way they were intended, no one is saying to you: "This is where you stop because you failed". If you do, you are reading the wrong information. Failure tells us, "this method and the intended result do not match. Try another method".

　　當你面臨困境，事事不如意的時候，沒有人會對你說;“這兒就是你該放棄的時候，因為你失敗了”。如果你真的放棄了，那你就錯誤地理解了你當前所面臨的處境。失敗告訴我們，“這個方法行不通，那就換個方法。”

　　3. Rejection is a booster not a downer

　　3.拒絕是助推劑而非絆腳石

　　When you get that metaphorical slap in the face (or literal one) after your job application, idea, project, invention or proposal has been rejected, don't waste time feeling bad about it. Stop taking it personally; it's not about you. That slap in the face is a wake-up call for you to pick up your things and keep on moving. Things get rejected every second. So stop the fuss and move on!

　　當你在求職面試、提議、發(fā)明、想法或策劃時遭遇拒絕，不要浪費時間為之感到難過。不要把一切原因都歸結于自己一個人身上。那些讓你感到當頭一棒的拒絕都是讓你保持清晰并繼續(xù)上路的助推劑。不順心的事時時發(fā)生，所以不要抱怨憂郁，繼續(xù)上路!

　　4. Happiness is not the destination but the journey

　　4.幸福不是一個結果而是一個過程

　　We think that happiness is a result that comes after having acquired or achieved something we don't have. The problem is that we are creating the wrong model in our mind in which we link happiness to something that is still to come. This brings eternal dissatisfaction not happiness. Happiness is when we accept and enjoy everything as it is. It's about stepping back and enjoying the ride rather than expecting it at your destination point.

　　我們都認為幸福就是當我們獲得了自己未曾擁有的東西后的一種結果。而問題就在于我們創(chuàng)造了一種錯誤的思維模式并深信幸福正在到來。這只能帶來無窮無盡的掃興而不是幸福。當我們接受并享受每一件事時，幸福就在我們身邊彌漫。幸福不是期待自己所向往的結果快點發(fā)生，而是享受生命的過程。

　　5. Mind vs. Heart = Turbulence, Mind + Heart = Wisdom

　　5.智慧來于心靈與思想的協(xié)調

　　Let your heart talk more; it's wiser than you think. You can be as knowledgeable and clever as one can be but if your mind is out of sync with your heart you are losing a lot of energy in internal conflict. Wisdom is really having reached a stage where you balance all your knowledge and intellect with your heart. Purely and simply.

　　聽從你內心的呼喚，這要比聽從你頭腦的所思所想更明智。你也許有可能會成為一個絕頂聰明的人，但是如果你的思想與內心的想法不相協(xié)調時，你就會在做自我斗爭時喪失許多的精力。當你能夠將自己的才智與心靈相協(xié)調時，你就是一個智慧的人——純粹而又簡單。

　　6. If you want to be creative stop trying to create

　　6.如果你想要變得富有創(chuàng)造力，不要時刻努力著想著去創(chuàng)新、創(chuàng)新、創(chuàng)新

　　Creativity is understanding that sometimes you are not the creator but only the medium of a transcendent creative force, bigger than you or I. This is something I have written about in the past where I compared the creative process to the Yin & Yang duality. It has generative side - the brainstorming & playing with concepts. This takes action and effort. But there is also the receptive part which we very often forget. This is passive, intuitive and entails no action but plain receptivity. If you stop at the generative part of the process you will have an incomplete creative cycle and the more you try the more incomplete it is. so stop trying.

　　創(chuàng)造力有時可以理解為你并不是那個創(chuàng)造者而是一股創(chuàng)新力量中的一個媒介，這要比一個個體強大的多。過去我就為此寫過一篇文章，在文中我把創(chuàng)新過程比作陰陽二重性。它有高創(chuàng)造力的一面---頭腦風暴法以及以某些理念進行創(chuàng)造。這需要一些付出與努力。而它也有常被我們忽略的一面，就是我們是否能夠接受。這是一個被動的、直觀的、不需要任何操作而是單純接受方面的問題。如果你在高創(chuàng)造力階段停止了創(chuàng)作，你就會面臨一個不完整的創(chuàng)作循環(huán)，你越是努力去創(chuàng)新，它就變得越不完整，所以你干脆就不要去嘗試算了。

　　7. Gratitude is the energy-drink of the soul

　　7.心懷感激是凈化靈魂一劑強心劑

　　Say thank you to the universe every morning. Appreciation and gratitude are instant soul-lifters as angst, contempt and disdain which weigh you down and make you dull. Try it out. Be thankful to at least one thing in your day. It will nudge you into appreciating the delicate equilibrium of life with more depth and perspective.

　　每天早晨起來你就應該對這個世界說聲謝謝。心懷感激能徹底消除焦慮、厭惡和輕蔑給你帶來的消極影響。你可以試下這招：每天至少要對一樣事物表示謝意。這樣做有助于你更全面深入地欣賞到生活的美好。
