Remember Why We are Doing Something 记住我们做一件事情的原因
Sometimes I forget why I’m doing that stuff and what I’m doing. Have you ever done that? I’m not just talking about a memory problem, although that might be too. I have called my friends because I want to tell them something. And then, when I picked up a place for a while and haven’t talked about anything particular, Well, I forgot why I called that person in the first place.
有时候我忘了我做这件事情的原因,我所做的事情时什么。你曾有过这种经历吗?我并不仅仅是在谈论记忆问题,虽然那也是有可能的。我曾经打电话给我朋友,因为我想告诉他们一些事情。然后,在选择合适的地方后,还没有谈论什么特别的东西的时候。哦,我忘记了自己为什么要首先给那人打电话。
That’s a memory problem. I guess that counts too. But I’m talking about a deeper bigger problem, why? At one point, there was a reason why we do something. For long-term projects, we need to remind ourselves of that reason. Why did I start to learn a language? Why did I join this club? Why was my friend this person? Why did I get married? I think we need indeed remind us of why. Or else it’s tough to finish what we started.
这是一个记忆问题。我想那很重要。但我在谈论一个更深层次的问题,而且更为重要,那就是为什么?在某一个时期,我们做某事会有一个理由。对于长期项目,我们需要提醒自己原因。为什么我开始学习一种语言?为什么我要结婚?我想我们需要确实提醒自己为什么。否则很难完成我们所开始的。
We stop starting. We quit the club. We end our friendships. Our marriages get damaged. There’s nothing wrong with asking why. In fact, sometimes I think it can be very healthy and helpful to appreciate what you have and what we are doing
我们停止开始。我们退出俱乐部。我们结束我们的友谊。我们的`婚姻出现裂痕。问为什么没什么问题。事实上,我认为有时候它会很健康的帮助我们珍惜所拥有的及正在做的事情。
