So you gave us the model of rat racer-you know that person-remember-who at the age of 72,
我们可以用无意义追逐目标的人来类比 还记得那个72岁的人吗
gets to being, quite literally on top of the world, overlooking central park
他达到了很高的地位 管理着世界的中心
and then being informed after life of constant stress, constantly living the future
在承受了一生的压力 不停地追逐
in point B, not enjoying the present, the journey, is being told it is time to retire.
到达B点 而不是享受当下 享受旅途之后被告知 退休的时候到了
And I asked you a simple question, what kind of life do you want for yourself?
我问你们一个简单的问题 你想要怎样的生活
So what is the alternative model? What is the positive model?
那么另一种模型是怎样的呢 积极的模型是怎样的
Now the positive model from the outside may look exactly the same.
积极的模型从外表上看来似乎一模一样
It may be a person who is extremely ambitious,
可能也是一个充满雄心壮志的人
a person who is extremely hard working, a person who is an investment banker
极度勤奋刻苦的人 可能是个投资银行家
or a doctor, or a lawyer, or a teacher, or working at a homeless shelter.
或者是个医生 或者律师 老师 或者在流浪者之家工作
It may look the exactly same from the outside. From the inside, it is radically different.
从外表上看可能完全一样 但其内在则是迥然相异
How is it radically different? In that the person who is on the excellence side,
怎么个迥然相异法呢 区别在于这个追求卓越的人
may be as ambitious, may have the same goals, may reach the same goals.
也许同样充满雄心壮志 有同样的目标 也可能达到了同样的目标
However, that person also enjoys the journey. That is the difference.
然而这个人同时享受这个旅程 这就是区别所在
So yes, he or she gets into a top school, a school that they really wanted to get into.
是的 他或她会进入名校 进入他们非常想进的学校
And at school they work extremely hard.
在学校里他们非常勤奋刻苦
However, they also learn it that they are able to, mostly-
但同时他们也知道 他们几乎可以
there's no 100 percent here-but mostly, enjoy their time in school,
不是完全 但几乎可以享受他们在学校的所有时光
with the same ups and downs, the vicissitudes-natural-but enjoy school
同样的起伏坎坷 同样的兴衰变迁 但他们享受这个过程
and then get into the job they really wanted or one of the job they wanted,
然后获得他们想要的工作 或者他们想要的工作之一
and work extremely hard there, and be ambitious, and work the 80 hour weeks.
然后继续努力工作 充满雄心壮志 每周工作80个小时
