别放弃梦想的理由
2014-10-22
Do you remember what you wanted to be when you grew up? Maybe a fireman? A baker? A ballerina? You probably have some sort of idea what you ultimately want to do with your life. But are you actually doing it? Are you working towards it? Or have you given up all hope on your dreams with the burdens of daily life pulling you down?
你还记得自己梦想长大时做什么吗？消防员？烘焙师？你可能对自己最终想做点什么还有些想法。但你真的在做吗？你是在朝着这个方向努力吗？还是你在生活的压力下已放弃了自己的梦想？
Pursuing your dreams comes along with many benefits! Here are some reasons why you should not give up on your dreams:
追随你的梦想可以带来很多益处！下面是你为什么不应该放弃梦想的几个理由：
1. Persistence.
毅力，坚持。
Persistence is something that can only be learned through hardships. If you never fall down, you can’t learn how to get back up. Each time we pick ourselves back up and forge through, we get a little bit stronger and more capable of achieving our ultimate goals.
只有历尽艰辛，才会拥有毅力。如果你从未失败，你不会学会如何重新爬起来。每当我们重新振作前进时，我们都会更加坚强，更有能力去实现我们最终的目标。
2. It's better to try and fail than to wonder what might have been. 尝试和失败比去猜想会发生什么要好得多。
You don't have to do something huge, but sitting down and making a plan with small steps on how you will achieve your dreams will start you off in the right direction. Little by little you will forge a path towards your goals.
你不必去做大事，但是坐下来，为如何实现梦想而制定一步一步的计划会让你从正确的方向开始。渐渐地，你会找到通往目标的道路。
3. The pursuit.
追求。
Many valuable experiences are found in the pursuit, such as memories, friendships, skills, life lessons, and love. Basically, life is what happens when we make our way towards a goal.
在追求的过程中，会有很多宝贵的经验。回忆、友谊、技能、生活经验和爱这些都是。基本上，生活就是我们朝着目标前进的路上所发生的事情。
4. Success is often just around the corner.
成功往往就在眼前。
If only you knew how close you were! If only you knew what an impact would be for one more phone call, one more interview, and just one more late night working on your passions. Often we give up far too soon. We can't see what the future holds for us, but we sure can keep striving towards our dreams.
只要你知道离得有多近！只要你知道凭着激情再打一个电话、再进行一次面试、再多熬一次夜会带来什么样的影响。我们常常过早放弃。我们看不到未来是什么样子，但是我们能朝着梦想继续努力。
5. Setting an example.
树立榜样。
Finally, if you have children (or might have them some day), you will be setting a good example. Hopefully we can show the future generations what it means to chase after our dreams. Most importantly, in the words of
Winston Churchill, "Never Never Never give up."
最后，如果你有孩子（或将来会有），你会为他们树立一个好榜样。希望我们可以告诉后代什么是追随梦想。最重要的是，用温斯顿·丘吉尔的话来说：“永远永远永远都不要放弃。”
有一天
2014-10-28
世界上最伟大的爱，莫过于母爱。下面的这段文字选自美国著名的畅销书作家和童书作家艾莉森·麦基的《有一天》这本书，读完不觉内心酸酸的，暖暖的。
One day I counted your fingers and kissed each one.
曾经，我轻吻着你的每根小指头。
One day the first snowflakes fell, and I held you up and watched them melt on your baby skin.
曾经，在某个清朗的冬日，我把你高高举起，看着你红润的笑脸。
One day we crossed the street, and you held my hand tight.
曾经，你的小手紧抓着我，一同穿越都市的车水马龙。
Then you were my baby, and now you are my child.
曾经，你是我的小宝宝，现在你是我的大宝贝。
Sometimes, when you sleep, I watch you dream, and I dream too... 有时，望着沉睡的你，我也跟着梦想……
That someday you will dive into the cool, clear water of a lake. 有一天，你会潜入冷冽清澈的湖水中。
Someday you will walk into a deep wood.
有一天，你会独自走进一座苍郁的森林里。
Someday your eyes will be filled with a joy so deep that they shine. 有一天，你初见新奇，眼中满是光彩。
Someday you will swing so high, higher than you ever dared to swing. 有一天，你会发现自己荡得比想象的还高。
Someday you will hear something so sad that you will fold up with sorrow.
有一天，你会因为突如其来的坏消息，感觉被深深的哀伤包围。 Someday you will call a song to the wind, and the wind will carry your song away.
有一天，你会站在风中浅唱，期盼风儿把你的心声带向远方。
Someday I will stand on this porch and watch your arms waving to me until I no longer see you.
有一天，我会倚在门边，望着你向我挥手道别，消失在我眼前。 Someday you will look at this house and wonder how something that feels so big can look so small.
有一天，你会望着我们的家，诧异记忆中它的巨大和此刻看起来的渺小。
Someday you will feel a small weight against your strong back. 有一天，你会发现，自己坚强的双臂也有着一个小小的负担。 Someday I will watch you brushing your child's hair.
有一天，我会看见你梳理孩子柔细的发丝。
Someday, a long time from now, your own hair will glow silver in the sun. 有一天，很久很久以后的一天，你的头发也会在太阳底下闪着银光。 And when that day comes, love, you will remember me.
当那天到来的时候，亲爱的，你会忆起我。

Getting bogged down in details, focusing on the small problems can have advantages. But it can also make you miss the big picture — What's reall
y important in your life.
纠结于细节，关注小问题很有好处。但也有可能会使你错失更重要的东西——你生命中真正重要的东西。
2. Be proactive. Take the lead. 积极主动做榜样
So to not get lost in procrastination, take it one small step at time. Just be proactive instead of reactive about one little thing in your life today. Start with that action and then build your proactiveness muscle step by small step.

3. Keep conversations simple and positive. 保持简洁积极向上的对话 Use words that helps you to get through. No need to try to impress people with big and complicated words when it's not needed. Focus on getting through to others and communicating by using simple words that anyone can understand.
使用可以帮助你表达清晰的话。没有必要试图通过不需要的大而复杂的词给人留下印象。重点是能使他人理解，使用简单易懂的词与人沟通。
4. Do nothing once in a while. 偶尔无为
Although it feels good to work towards your dreams and doing the things you love, I find that things tend to go better and I feel better if there is a b
alance.
尽管朝着自己的梦想努力感觉很美好，做自己喜欢的事情感觉也很美好，但我觉得如果能两者之间找到平衡肯定会更好。
5. Appreciate the little things. 欣赏微不足道的小事
Take 2 minutes and find things in your life you can appreciate right now. It might not sound like much. But this simple 2 minute exercise can help you to uncover a lot of the happiness that is already in your daily life.
