你的新年计划制定好了吗
有没有哪些新年计划
是去年未完成的呢
虽然略有拖延也别沮丧
关于新年计划
这个4岁小萝莉的看法
或许能给你一些新的思路
I have a problem with New Year’s resolutions, not because they often fail, or because they are too difficult, and not because I am bad at them, either. I mean, I’ve only been alive for four New Years.
我的新年决心碰上了一个难题——不是因为这些决心总是以失败告终,不是因为它们太难实现,也不是因为我不擅长履行决心。我的意思是,我才过了四个新年呢!
No, I have a problem with resolutions because people think that that’s it—it’s the one time to change. Now, don’t get me wrong. We definitely all need change. I have no idea how to ride a bicycle, and my little brother has no idea what a toilet is for, and some of you…yeah, you should probably…should get out of the house more. But one big decision probably is not going to do it. Sorry!
都不是,我对新年决心有一个疑问,因为人们总觉得“这就够了”——他们觉得这样一来就能改变自己。别误解我的意思,没错,我们所有人都需要不断改变,比如我就还没学会怎么骑单车,我弟弟对马桶的用途一头雾水,而你们当中有些人——是啊,你们或许应该……应该多出门走走。不过,就这样定下一个大决心或许根本不会带来改变。不好意思咯!
So now what? Flush your resolutions down the toilet? The one my little brother can’t use? Of course not! Keep your resolutions, but go easy on yourself. Will you change? Maybe. But it probably won’t happen in one big moment. It will happen in thousands of little moments. Every time you choose to forgive, or slow down, or be grateful, or stay calm. Each little moment that you choose what’s right instead of what’s easy, faith instead of doubt, love instead of hate. That’s where the change happens!
那么,现在该怎么办呢?把你的决心用马桶冲走吗?就那个我弟弟不会用的玩意儿?当然不行!把你的新年决心坚持下去,但是对自己悠着点儿。你会有所改变吗?没准儿。但这种改变大概不会在某个重大时刻立马实现,而是发生在无数个微不足道的瞬间。每当你选择原谅,或放慢脚步,或心存感恩,或保持冷静;每当你选择正道而非捷径,每当你选择信任而非怀疑,每当你选择关爱而非憎恨,那就是你改变的一刻!
Even if you fail one, or two, or thirty times, it’s OK! You’ve got thousands of more little moments ahead of you. You’ll get better. Bye!
哪怕你失败了一次、两次,甚至是三十次,那都没关系!因为在你面前还有许多许多这样的瞬间,你总会取得进步的。再见啦!
