And because she is no longer spending her life on the verge of sudden change, she takes much more pleasure in the present moment.
由于不再生活在突然转变的边缘,她从现在的时光中享受到了更多的乐趣。
In our focus on getting somewhere fast, many of us deny ourselves the joy of learning and forget to enjoy the journey. Author and rock climber Paul Stolz, who sees his sport as a metaphor for life, notes that whatever your goal, there is no point in getting there fast, because the payoff isn't at the end. "The payoff is the awareness you get during the climb," he says. "It's the feeling of being intensely alive, with every sense heightened, of perceiving your bond with a rock and being humbled, grateful that the rock has granted you the privilege of climbing it that day."
当我们专注于快速抵达某地的时候,我们中的许多人放弃了学习的快乐,也忘记了享受整个旅程。作家保罗·斯托尔兹是一位攀岩爱好者,他把攀岩比喻成人生。他指出,不管你的目标是什么,快速地到达都是没有意义的,因为收获并不在终点。他说:“你的收获就是在攀爬过程中获得的认识。你的收获就是你感觉到充满活力,每种感官都增强,感知到你和岩石之间的联系,意识到自己有多渺小,并感激这块岩石让你在那天爬到它的上面去。”
