The Greatest Gift You Can Give Yourself

你可以给自己最好的礼物
How’s your memory? Can you recall the thoughts, emotions, reactions of family or friends, or even subtle prayers from earlier today? How about yesterday, or last week? What about the warm feeling of your toes thawing after playing outside in a cold winter day five years ago? Unless you have a memory like Brad Williams, there’s a good chance you won’t recall the minute details of life as you lived it.
你的记忆力怎样?你能回想起所有思想、情感、与家人或朋友的感应,甚至是今天之前的祈祷的细节吗?昨天呢?上个星期呢?五年前你的双脚踏在冰冷的雪地上,你的感受如何?如果你有像布莱德·威廉的记忆力,你就可以在短时间内回想起你生活中的所有细节。
When Todd, my father-in-law, asked me to write a post for the Little Things Matter blog I asked myself this question. “What is the one lesson from my life that would contribute the most to the LTM community”. My answer to that question was simple, “give them the best gift possible”. Since we’re not all blessed with the ability to capture the details of life like Brad Williams, one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself is journaling. Keeping a journal has benefits that far surpass the time that you take to write down what’s happening.
当我的继父托德要我写小事情博客的邮件时,我问我自己:“我人生中学到的哪一个课程是对小事情社区贡献最大的?”我的回答很简单:“尽可能给他们最好的礼物。”因为我们不像布莱德·威廉那样有天赋记住生活中的细节,你能给自己最好的礼物就是写日记。写日记的好处远远大于写日记所花的时间。
Jim Rohn, one of the greatest teachers of personal development, said, “If you’re serious about becoming a wealthy, powerful, sophisticated, healthy, influential, cultured and unique individual, keep a journal. Don’t trust your memory. When you listen to something valuable, write it down. When you come across something important, write it down.” There’s a reason he associates becoming who you want to become with the simple, yet powerful method of writing down the things that impact your life.
吉米·罗恩,注重个人发展的最棒的老师之一,曾经说道:“如果你对成为一个富有、强健、复杂、健康、有影响力、有文化又很独特的人严格要求自己,你就应该写日记。把听到的很有用的东西写下来,或者是很重要的事情。”原因是他把简单有用的记下对个人生活有影响的事物和个人结合起来。
Most successful people will tell you that achieving success is accomplished by several small steps taken in a direction that lead you to who you want to become. Two clear examples of this are the publisher of Success Magazine, Darren Hardy, who recently published his book “The Compound Effect,” and this blog Little Things Matter. To me, there is no better way to gauge the direction you are going than by keeping a journal and referring back to it from time to time.
大部分的成功人士都会说成功的要诀是伴随着每一个小步。在成功杂志上有两个典例,一是最近出版新书《复合效应》的大瑞·哈迪,另一个是小事情博客。对我来说,最好的引导人生方向的方法是记日记而且能够联系过去和未来。
If you have been completely honest with yourself throughout your journey, you will get to read about the sweaty palms when you went into a meeting, the doubts you had about taking the new job, and all the other trials you overcame. When you can read about the things that used to intimidate you but now they don’t, it will build a belief in yourself and help you keep moving in the direction you’re headed.
如果你对自己人生旅途中是非常诚实的话,你可能会读到你在参加会议的时候掌心出汗,你可能是在担任新工作时遇到了难题以及其他需要克服的难题。当你读到之前被恐吓时的文章时,它会帮助你建立自信,让你坚守自己的人生方向。
You’ll also read about the emotions you felt when you landed that new client, how you felt when you lost the 10 pounds you always wanted to loose, the times you beat your father-in-law in tennis.
你也会读到那些感受,如你之前经常多找给了新客户十英镑的难堪,或者是打网球时击败了你的继父的喜悦。
