[p=25, 2, left]我们每天忙忙碌碌的，有时候，竟不知自己为什么而忙。不妨多试着问自己，我在做什么？为什么做？[/p][p=25, 2, left]明确自己的目标，前路才能更顺畅！[/p][p=25, 2, left]Why do you do what you do?[/p][p=25, 2, left]你为什么要做手头上的事呢？[/p][p=25, 2, left]It's a serious question and one you're likely not askedall that often.[/p][p=25, 2, left]这是一个很严肃的问题，但也是一个你不会经常问自己的问题。[/p][p=25, 2, left]Take a look at what you do each day and ask yourself "why am I doing this?"[/p][p=25, 2, left]看一下你每天都在做些什么然后问问自己：“我做这些是为了什么？”[/p][p=25, 2, left]On a typical day I'm up with my kids, playing with them,tending to them, teaching them. Why[/p][p=25, 2, left]do I do it? Because I love them, I want them to have our values, I want to teach them and I[/p][p=25, 2, left]want to experience what it's like to be a mom. I could choose to go back to a job outside[/p][p=25, 2, left]of the home and earn a fairly good income, but I choose to stay home because it just feels[/p][p=25, 2, left]like the right thing to do … for me.I realize that this isn't a luxury a lot of people[/p][p=25, 2, left]have despite wanting it and believe me when I say I am grateful for being able to stay at[/p][p=25, 2, left]home with my kids.[/p][p=25, 2, left]有一天，我抱起我的小孩，和他们一块玩耍，照顾着他们，教育他们。我不禁想：我为什么做这些事情[/p][p=25, 2, left]呢？因为我爱他们，我想他们能够拥有我们的价值观，我想教导他们并且通过这些去感受作为妈妈的经[/p][p=25, 2, left]历。我可以选择回去工作，而且会有一份相当好的收入，但是我选择留在家里因为我感觉这就是我要做[/p][p=25, 2, left]的。我也意识到这并不是一件奢侈的东西，很多人都有，尽管很多人口里都喊着想要这样的生活，相信[/p][p=25, 2, left]我，我很感激能够呆在家里和我的小孩在一起。[/p] [b]回复 [url=http://bbs.tingroom.com/redirect.php?goto=findpost&pid=1043380&ptid=606336]1#[/url] [i]kobe[/i] [/b][font=宋体][size=12px]I write. Why? Because it allows me to get in touch with my creative side, something I[/size][/font][p=25, 2, left]didn't get to do too often when I was heavily embedded in the sciences. Writing helps me[/p][p=25, 2, left]gather and focus my thoughts. It allows me to.[/p][p=25, 2, left]我写作。为什么？因为写作激起了我的创造灵感，这些灵感不是我坚信自然科学就能够获得的。写作让[/p][p=25, 2, left]我收集灵感、专注于我的思维上，它给了我这样的契机。[/p][p=25, 2, left]I coach/consult people. Why? Because it allows me to work in a way that I'm passionate[/p][p=25, 2, left]about, I am able to contribute financially to my family, and it's helping me get closer to[/p][p=25, 2, left]my goal of personally funding 2 children's wishes for the Children's Wish Foundation. Since[/p][p=25, 2, left]one of my son's is a wish kid this is near and dear to me and at $20K a wish I have a VERY[/p][p=25, 2, left]long way to go. But I don't doubt I'll get there in my lifetime.[/p][p=25, 2, left]我是顾问。为什么？因为这份工作是我的激情所在。通过这份工作，我不但可以支持家庭，我也朝我的[/p][p=25, 2, left]目标更近了一步：为儿童愿望基金会资助两名儿童，帮他们实现愿望。我最亲爱的儿子也是个爱许愿的[/p][p=25, 2, left]孩子，所以虽然帮每个儿童实现愿望需要2万美金，我得花很久才能实现，但是我坚信在我的有生之年我[/p][p=25, 2, left]肯定能实现。[/p][p=25, 2, left]These are just a few examples of what I do and why I do them. They may not sit well with[/p][p=25, 2, left]everyone but I do what I do in these respects with purpose and reason.[/p][p=25, 2, left]这只是我所做的和为什么我要做这些的几个例子。它们不可能适合所有的人，但我知道做我手头上这些[/p][p=25, 2, left]事情的目的和意义。[/p] [b]回复 [url=http://bbs.tingroom.com/redirect.php?goto=findpost&pid=1043381&ptid=606336]2#[/url] [i]kobe[/i] [/b]
[font=宋体][size=12px]I could also mention that I watch TV from time to time. If you asked me why I do it, I[/size][/font][p=25, 2, left]wouldn't have a very good answer — to curb boredom, to relax and just sit at the end of[/p][p=25, 2, left]the day. There are a lot of better things I could be doing with my time but occasionally TV[/p][p=25, 2, left]is okay.[/p][p=25, 2, left]在这里我还想提到一点，即我时常也看电视。如果你问我为什么会看电视？我可能没有一个很好的答案[/p][p=25, 2, left]，或许只是无聊，只是想放松一下，或许只想在一天结束的时候坐着休息一下。我的一生还有许多许多[/p][p=25, 2, left]更美好的事情等着我去做，但偶尔看看电视也很好。[/p][p=25, 2, left]I think doing things without purpose, a plan or the bigger picture in mind can be fun but[/p][p=25, 2, left]it may be wasting your time, effort, energy, talents and skills.[/p][p=25, 2, left]我认为做事情没有目标，没有计划或是在脑海中没有一幅蓝图，会很有趣，但这样子确实浪费时间、精[/p][p=25, 2, left]力、才能和你的技能。[/p][p=25, 2, left]So what are you doing and why are you doing it?[/p][p=25, 2, left]所以说：你在做些什么？你为什么要做？[/p][p=25, 2, left]Take inventory of what you're doing in major life areas and try to understand why you're[/p][p=25, 2, left]doing them.[/p][p=25, 2, left]列下在你重要的人生领域里，你所做事情的清单，找到做这些事情的原因。[/p][p=25, 2, left]Does what you do play to your strengths? Do you get great joy out of doing it? Is it[/p][p=25, 2, left]helping you get closer to a goalor a dream you have?[/p][p=25, 2, left]你所做的有助于发挥你的实力吗？你快乐吗？做这些事情能帮你朝既定的目标或者梦想迈进一些吗？[/p][p=25, 2, left]If you spend too much of your time focusing on things that don't really matter, that don't[/p][p=25, 2, left]really excite you and you don't have a reason for doing what you're doing you could be[/p][p=25, 2, left]missing out on a lot of great things.[/p][p=25, 2, left]如果你把过多的时间花在这样一些事情上：无关紧要，不会让你兴奋，你也没有很好的理由来解释为什[/p][p=25, 2, left]么要做现在正在做的事情，那么你将会失去很多美好的事情。[/p][p=25, 2, left]Think of all the opportunities you could be missing out on if you're tied up in activities[/p][p=25, 2, left]that don't matter to you. Wouldn't you hate to realize one day that what you wanted all[/p][p=25, 2, left]along passed you by because you were too busy doing other things. Menial things.[/p][p=25, 2, left]想一下：如果你在一些无关紧要的事情上面忙忙碌碌，你将失去多少机会？你会不会有一天突然意识到[/p][p=25, 2, left]：因为你忙着做一些其他你认为重要的事情，而你真正想要的东西却通通都已溜走。[/p][p=25, 2, left]So my question remains: What are you doing and why do you do it?[/p][p=25, 2, left]所以我的问题依然是：你在做什么，你为什么做？[/p]
