3. The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it.
成就一番偉業(yè)的唯一途徑就是熱愛(ài)自己的事業(yè)。如果你還沒(méi)能找到讓自己熱愛(ài)的事業(yè)，繼續(xù)尋找，不要放棄。跟隨自己的心，總有一天你會(huì)找到的。
I've got it down to four words: "Do what you love." Seek out an occupation that gives you a sense of meaning, direction and satisfaction in life. Having a sense of purpose and striving towards goals gives life meaning, direction and satisfaction. It not only contributes to health and longevity, but also makes you feel better in difficult times. Do you jump out of bed on Monday mornings and look forward to the work week? If the answer is 'no', keep looking, you'll know when you find it.
“我把這段話濃縮為：“做我所愛(ài)”。去尋找一個(gè)能給你的生命帶來(lái)意義、價(jià)值和讓你感覺(jué)充實(shí)的事業(yè)。擁有使命感和目標(biāo)感才能給生命帶來(lái)意義、價(jià)值和充實(shí)。這不僅對(duì)你的健康和壽命有益處，而且即使在你處于困境的時(shí)候你也會(huì)感覺(jué)良好。在每周一的早上，你能不能利索的爬起來(lái)并且對(duì)工作日充滿期待？如果不能，那么你得重新去尋找。你會(huì)感覺(jué)得到你是不是真的找到了。
4. You know, we don't grow most of the food we eat. We wear clothes other people make. We speak a language that other people developed. We use a mathematics that other people evolved... I mean, we're constantly taking things. It's a wonderful, ecstatic feeling to create something that puts it back in the pool of human experience and knowledge.
并不是每個(gè)人都需要種植自己的糧食，也不是每個(gè)人都需要做自己穿的衣服，我們說(shuō)著別人發(fā)明的語(yǔ)言，使用別人發(fā)明的數(shù)學(xué)……我們一直在使用別人的成果。使用人類的已有經(jīng)驗(yàn)和知識(shí)來(lái)進(jìn)行發(fā)明創(chuàng)造是一件很了不起的事情?！?/strong>
Live in a way that is ethically responsible. Try to make a difference in this world and contribute to the higher good. You'll find it gives more meaning to your life and it's a great antidote to boredom. There is always so much to be done. And talk to others about what you are doing. Don't preach or be self-righteous, or fanatical about it, that just puts people off, but at the same time, don't be shy about setting an example, and use opportunities that arise to let others know what you are doing.
帶著責(zé)任感生活，嘗試為這個(gè)世界帶來(lái)點(diǎn)有意義的事情，為更高尚的事情做點(diǎn)貢獻(xiàn)。這樣你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)生活更加有意義，生命不再枯燥。需要我們?nèi)プ龅氖虑楹芏?。告訴其他人你的計(jì)劃，不要鼓吹，也不要自以為是，更不能盲目狂熱，那樣只會(huì)把人們嚇跑，當(dāng)然，你也不要害怕成為榜樣，要抓住出頭的機(jī)會(huì)讓人們知道你的所作所為。
5. There's a phrase in Buddhism, 'Beginner's mind.' It's wonderful to have a beginner's mind.
佛教中有一句話：初學(xué)者的心態(tài)；擁有初學(xué)者的心態(tài)是件了不起的事情。
It is the kind of mind that can see things as they are, which step by step and in a flash can realize the original nature of everything. Beginner's mind is Zen practice in action. It is the mind that is innocent of preconceptions and expectations, judgements and prejudices. Think of beginner's mind as the mind that faces life like a small child, full of curiosity and wonder and amazement.
不要迷惑于表象而要洞察事務(wù)的本質(zhì)，初學(xué)者的心態(tài)是行動(dòng)派的禪宗。所謂初學(xué)者的心態(tài)是指，不要無(wú)端猜測(cè)、不要期望、不要武斷也不要偏見(jiàn)。初學(xué)者的心態(tài)正如一個(gè)新生兒面對(duì)這個(gè)世界一樣，永遠(yuǎn)充滿好奇、求知欲、贊嘆。
6. We think basically you watch television to turn your brain off, and you work on your computer when you want to turn your brain on.
我們認(rèn)為看電視的時(shí)候，人的大腦基本停止工作，打開(kāi)電腦的時(shí)候，大腦才開(kāi)始運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)。
Reams of academic studies over the decades have amply confirmed television's pernicious mental and moral influences. And most TV watchers know that their habit is mind-numbing and wasteful, but still spend most of their time in front of that box. So turn your TV off and save some brain cells. But be cautious, you can turn your brain off by using a computer also. Try and have an intelligent conversation with someone who plays first person shooters for eight hours a day. Or auto race games, or role-playing games.
過(guò)去十年中，大量的理論研究表明，電視對(duì)人的精神和心智是有害的。大多數(shù)電視觀眾都知道這個(gè)壞習(xí)慣會(huì)浪費(fèi)時(shí)間并且使大腦變得遲鈍，但是他們還是選擇呆在電視機(jī)前面。關(guān)掉電視吧，給自己省點(diǎn)腦細(xì)胞。還有，電腦也會(huì)讓你的大腦秀逗，不信的話你去跟那些一天花8小時(shí)玩第一視角設(shè)計(jì)游戲、汽車?yán)τ螒?、角色扮演游戲的人聊聊看，你也?huì)得出這個(gè)結(jié)論的。
