1."If you want to know how much you'll be missed when you are gone, put your finger in a bucket of water and then remove it. The hole that's left will be how much you are missed."
“如果想知道你離開會(huì)造成多么大損失的話,把手指伸到一桶水里,然后抽出來。你能在那桶水里留下多大的洞你就能造成多大的損失。
No one is irreplaceable. You may not leave a hole, but you can leave a mark on a person, a team, or a culture that lives on after you're gone.
沒什么人是不可取代的。你可能無法在那桶水里留下一個(gè)洞,但是當(dāng)你離開后,你能在一個(gè)人、一個(gè)團(tuán)隊(duì)或一種文化留下自己的印記。
2. "We all have limits. Almost no one reaches theirs. You definitely haven't."
“我們都有極限,但幾乎沒有人達(dá)到過自己的極限。你當(dāng)然也沒有。”?
You could swim faster if a shark was on your tail. You could work harder if the payoff was truly exceptional.
如果有只鯊魚尾隨,你就能游得更快。如果報(bào)酬真的很棒,你就能工作得更努力。
3. "Unless you're the lead dog in the sled, the view never changes."
“除非你是領(lǐng)頭羊,要不然你的視角將一成不變?!?/strong>
Following the crowd means living the same life as the crowd.?You don't want that.
隨大流就意味著你要和別人過一樣的日子。你應(yīng)該不想這樣吧。
4. "The coward dies a thousand deaths, the brave but one."?(Original to Ernest Hemingway.)
“懦夫有一千種死法,勇士卻只有一種?!保êC魍?/strong>
Think about easing into a cold ocean; every inch is excruciating. Dive in. It's never as cold, or as bad, as you think.
試想一下慢慢邁入一片寒冷的汪洋,可能每一寸都無比折磨。勇敢地潛下去吧!可能這根本就沒有你想象的那么冷,那么糟糕。
5. "Resentment is like drinking poison and expecting the other guy to die."
“心懷忿恨就像喝毒藥一樣,一心想讓那個(gè)人一命嗚呼?!?/strong>
The same holds for bitterness. And jealousy. And dislike.?Let it go. If you don't, the only loser is you.
怨恨、嫉妒、反感也是一樣的。把這些感情丟掉吧!要不然被傷害的只有你自己。
6. "It's just a flesh wound."
“就是皮肉傷而已?!?/strong>
The Black Knight never gives up. Neither should we.
黑騎士永不言敗。我們也是。
