We live in a world in which every one wants to be successful. Nothing is wrong about the desire to be No. 1, and there is no doubt that being successful is enjoyable. Nevertheless, it is somewhat childish to think we can be finally successful by only doing what we enjoy doing. People often are amazed by the glorious appearance of a skyscraper, however they at the same time forget the fact that the skyscraper had taken a long time to construct, maybe much longer time to design, and possibly even cost people's lives during the constructing process! We may categorize things into two groups, the enjoyable and the unenjoyable; at the same time, another category can be made: the necessary and the unnecessary. The point is, things that are necessary are not always enjoyable and things that are enjoyable sometimes may be unnecessary. Doing things that are necessary rather than those that are merely enjoyable is not only helpful, but might also be indispensable for individual success.
我們生活在一個(gè)世界中,每個(gè)人都想成功。沒(méi)有什么是錯(cuò)誤的欲望是1號(hào),毫無(wú)疑問(wèn),成功是令人愉快的。盡管如此,認(rèn)為我們可以通過(guò)做我們喜歡做的事情終于成功,這是一點(diǎn)幼稚的想法。人們常常為摩天大樓的輝煌而感到驚訝,但同時(shí)卻忘記了這一事實(shí):摩天大廈花了很長(zhǎng)的時(shí)間來(lái)建造,也許更長(zhǎng)的時(shí)間來(lái)設(shè)計(jì),甚至可能在建造過(guò)程中花費(fèi)了人們的生命!我們可以把事情分為兩類,令人愉快和令人不愉快的;同時(shí),另一類是:必要的和不必要的。問(wèn)題是,有必要的事情不總是令人愉快的,有時(shí)是令人愉快的事情可能是不必要的。做必要的事情,而不是那些僅僅是享受的東西,不僅是有益的,而且也可能是個(gè)人成功不可或缺的。
We all admire even envy those who now have attained great achievements, such those famous stars as Jacky Chen, Jet Li. We should, however, be aware of the exorbitant prices they have paid for their present glories. Jacky Chen once told that when he was still a teenager, he and his partners were required to practice more than 12 hours a day; and it was said that Jet Li was sent to be an apprentice when he was hardly four years old! Apparently, those seemingly cruel hardships have turned out to be the best gifts years later. But for yesterday's struggle, today's glories could not exist. Things that are both enjoyable and necessary or both unenjoyable and unnecessary virtually seldom exist. We may dislike some curriculums in university, such as mathematics or history, but they are necessary; we may prefer leisure times to work days, but the latter are indispensable. Pursuing a successful life is nothing more than making wise decisions, and by "wise" we mean the choice of doing the necessary first.
我們都羨慕甚至嫉妒那些現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)獲得了偉大的成就,這些明星是成龍,李連杰。我們應(yīng)該意識(shí)到,然而,他們?yōu)楝F(xiàn)在的輝煌付出高昂的價(jià)格。成龍?jiān)f(shuō),當(dāng)他還是一個(gè)少年時(shí),他和他的伙伴們被要求一天練習(xí)超過(guò)12小時(shí);據(jù)說(shuō),李連杰被派去當(dāng)學(xué)徒時(shí),他還不到四歲!顯然,那些看似殘酷的磨難已經(jīng)成為了好的禮物,幾年后。但昨天的奮斗,就沒(méi)有今日的輝煌。事情是既愉快又不必要的幾乎不存在。我們可能不喜歡大學(xué)的某些課程,例如數(shù)學(xué)或歷史,但它們是必要的;我們可能更喜歡閑暇時(shí)間到工作日,但后者是不可或缺的。追求成功的人生不僅僅是做出明智的決定,而通過(guò)“明智”的選擇,我們的選擇意味著首先做的選擇。
