TED | 能在高壓下保持專注的人,有多可怕?

2021-02-28 英語口語小鎮

June 8, 2010, Russell Wilson, fourth-round pick to the Colorado Rockies baseball. I'm fired up, one of the highest moments of my life. Every kid's dream to be drafted by a Major League Baseball team. June 8, 2010.

2010年6月8日,拉塞爾 · 威爾遜,在第四輪中被科羅拉多洛基棒球隊選中。我興奮極了,這是我人生最巔峰的時刻之一。每個孩子都夢想著入選美國職業棒球聯盟的球隊。2010年6月8日。

June 9, 2010 -- The line goes flat. My dad passes away. The highest of the high to the lowest of the low. Just like that. My dad laying in his deathbed, just tears running down my face, you know, what do I do next? 

2010年6月9日——心電圖變成了一條直線,我的爸爸去世了。人生高潮的最高點和人生低谷的最低點。生活就是這樣。我的爸爸躺在他的靈床上,淚水從我的臉上划過,我下一步應該做什麼?

My mind racing, memories, flashbacks, moments, early mornings, getting up, taking grounders and throwing, speed outs and deep post routes to my brother and my dad, to early morning car rides to AAU baseball, to my dad being the third-base coach.

我的大腦在飛速運轉,回憶那些記憶、時光、時刻,清晨,起床,做滾球和投擲的練習,練習速度,與我的父親和兄弟深入探討路線,到清早駕車前往美國業餘運動聯盟橄欖球隊,我的父親當時是三壘的教練。

Fast-forward to the championship high of winning a Super Bowl, holding up the Lombardi Trophy and the emotions and the excitement of it all, blue and green confetti all over the place and knowing that you just won the Super Bowl, to a year later, the pressure of the game, the ball on the one-yard line, and this is the chance to win the game, and it doesn't work. 

記憶快進到贏得超級碗的總冠軍,舉起隆巴迪獎盃,這些時刻的感觸和興奮,滿地的藍色和綠色的紙片意識到你剛拿下了超級碗的冠軍,再到一年之後,比賽的壓力,球正好壓在一碼線上,而這是一個可以贏得比賽的機會,但我搞砸了。

And however many millions and millions of people all over the world watching. And having to walk to the media, and what do I say next, what do I do, what do I think? Being married at a young age and just coming out of college and everything else, to, you know, shortly after, marriage not working out and realizing, you know what? 

然而全世界數以百萬的人在觀看這場比賽。而我將必須面對媒體的採訪,我將說什麼?我將做什麼,我將想什麼?年紀輕輕就結了婚,並且才剛剛大學畢業,還有其他所有的事情,很快,你發現婚姻並不順利,然後我才意識到,知道嗎?

Life happens. Life happens, life happens to all of us. Loss of family members, divorce, fear, pain, depression, concerns, worries. When you think about being superpositive -- yes, I'm positive by nature, but positivity, you know, it doesn't always work,

這就是生活。這就是生活,並且生活對我們每個人都一視同仁。失去家人,離婚, 恐懼,傷痛,消沉,糾結,擔心。當你想保持超級樂觀——是的,我天生是一個樂觀的人,但是樂觀,你知道,事情不可能一直順利,

because when you're down 16-nothing in an NFC championship game, and people are like, "Russ, we're not going to be able to win this game, man, it's not a great situation right now," or when you're facing cancer, or when you have things you have to deal with or finances and this and that, like, how do we deal with it? 

因為當你在NFC冠軍賽中落後16支隊伍時,人們就會說,"拉塞,我們贏不了這場比賽了,現在的情況並不樂觀。"或者當時面對癌症,或者當你必須去面對一些事情,或者不利的經濟狀況諸如此類,我們該怎麼辦?

It's hard to be positive in the midst of it all. And what I definitely knew was this: that negativity works 100 percent of the time. Negativity was going to get me nowhere. I started saying to myself, "New are his mercies every morning," new beginnings, new starts. 

當你處於所有這些煩惱之中時是很難保持樂觀的。而且,我可以肯定的是:這些時候人總是悲觀的,而悲觀會讓我無處可藏。我開始對自己說,"每一天醒來都是新的,"新的開始。

And despite hardship and pain and worries and wanting to get through it and "How do I do this?", I started thinking about a car. You know how when you drive a car, you've got stick shift and you want to shift to neutral? You go from first gear to second gear, all the way to fifth? 

不去想困難、痛苦、擔憂,以及怎樣擺脫它們,那麼,「我該怎麼做?」我開始思考汽車。你知道當你在開車時,需要換擋,你想換到空擋?你從一擋換到二擋,一直換到五擋,

You've got to know how to shift to neutral. And I needed to shift to neutral immediately, before I crashed. Sitting there after the Super Bowl, I had a decision to make: Will I let this define my career? Will I let it define my life? Hell, no. What I found out was this: that mindset is a skill. 

但是你必須要知道怎麼換到空擋。我需要在被撞毀之前,換回空擋。在超級碗賽後,我坐在那裡,我做了一個決定:我會讓這次失敗定義我的職業生涯嗎?我會讓它定義我的人生嗎?當然不會。我發現的是:那個思維方式是一個技能,

It can be taught and learned. I started 10 years ago, training my mind, with this guy named Trevor Moawad, my mental conditioning coach. He's been with me for 10 years, and we've been best friends and partners ever since.

它可以學習和訓練。十年之前,我開始訓練我的思維方式,和我的心理教練特雷弗 · 穆阿瓦德,他指導我十年了,我們成為了最好的朋友和搭檔。

As athletes, we train the body, we train ourselves to be able to run fast, throw farther, jump higher and do these different things, but why don't we train our mind? What do you want your life to look like? Write it out, talk about it, say it. What's our language, what does it look like, watch these highlights, Russell, when you're in your best moments. What does that look like? 

作為運動員,我們訓練我們的身體,我們通過訓練去跑得更快,投得更遠,跳得更高並且能夠做到很多不同的事情,但是我們為什麼不訓練我們的大腦呢?你想讓你的生活看起來是什麼樣子的?寫下來,講出來,說出來。我們的語言是什麼,它是什麼樣子的呢,看看這些高光的時刻,拉塞爾,當你在你生命中最美好的時刻,它們是什麼樣子的呢?

And be that, live that, sound like that. The best free throw shooters, they don't worry about the shot they just missed. They think about this shot, this putt, this throw, this first down. Then I met this kid Milton Wright, 19 years old, he had cancer three different times. 

然後,就像那樣,那樣去生活,就像那樣。最好的罰球手,他們不擔心已經丟掉的球。他們只關心當下這一球,這一推,這一投,這一落地。當我見到這個19歲的孩子米爾頓 · 懷特時,他經歷過三次不同的癌症。

This day when I went to see him, he was frustrated, "Russ, I'm done, I don't want to do this anymore, it's my time to go." I started telling him this story about my dad, how he used to say, "Son, why not you? Why don't you graduate early, play pro football and pro baseball? Why not you, why not you?" I said,

我去看他的那天,他很煩躁,"拉塞爾,我完了,我不想再這麼活著了,我想要離開了。"我說不,我開始給他講我爸爸的故事,他過去常說,「兒子,你為什麼不?你為什麼不早點畢業,為什麼不打職業美式足球或者橄欖球?你為什麼不,你為什麼不?」我說,

"Milton, why not you? If you try T-cell therapy, and you try this and it doesn't work, you won't remember it." So Milton got a smile on his face and said, "You're exactly right. Yes, I do have cancer, Russ. But I can either let this kill me, not just physically, but I can also let it kill me emotionally and mentally. 

「米爾頓,你為什麼不?如果你嘗試T細胞治療,你嘗試了卻失敗了,你不會記住這件事的。」然後米爾頓笑了,他說,「你說得沒錯。是的,我是得了癌症,拉塞爾。但是我要麼讓它結束我的生命,並不只是從身體上,也是從情緒和精神上打敗我。

And I have a choice right now, in the midst of the problem, in the midst of the storm, to decide to overcome." One of the questions I always get asked about neutral thinking is this: "Does that mean I don't have any emotion?" And I always say, absolutely not. 

然而,我現在還有一個選擇,在這個問題上,在這場風暴的中央,決定去與之對抗。」人們經常問我關於「中和思維」的一個問題是:"那意味著我沒有情緒嗎?"然而,我總是說,當然不是。

Yeah, we have emotions, we have real-life situations, we have things to deal with. But what you have to be able to do is to stay focused on the moment and to not be superemotional. It's OK to have emotions, but don't be emotional.

是的,我們有情緒,我們現實生活中有種種狀況,我們都有一些事情要去處理。但是你要做的就是保持專注,並且不要過於情緒化。有情緒沒有關係,但是不要情緒化。

When people look at me, they see that I'm the highest-paid player in the NFL, they see that I have the girl in Ciara, that I have the family and this and that. But I still have real-life situations. We all do. We all have, you know, sadness and loss and depression and worries and fear. I didn't just get here. 

當人們都看著我時,他們認為我是個高薪的NFL球員,他們看到我的女孩希亞拉,我有家人,有這個,有那個,但是我也有現實生活的煩惱。我們都有。我們都有,傷心和失去,還有消沉、擔憂和恐懼。我不僅僅是到了這裡。

What's the truth, and how do I come through this better? And that's really, kind of, how my mind started shifting. It was not just on the success of it all or the failure of it, it was on the process, like: What is the next step, how do I do this right here, right now?

而真相是,我怎樣更好的處理這些煩惱的?那就是我的思維方式是怎樣開始轉換的。它並不基於所有的成功,或者所有的失敗,而是在於這個過程,比如:下一步是什麼?我現在該怎麼做?

We have a choice to make in life. And for me, when I was young and I didn't have much, I made a choice. I made a choice that I was going to believe that great things were going to happen, that I was going to have my mindset right, and I was going to have the right language and the right things to think about, which helped prepare me for today.

我們在生活中需要去做一個選擇。對我而言,當我年輕,我還沒有很多東西的時候,我做了一個選擇。我選擇了去相信美好的事情會如期而至,相信我擁有正確的心態,我會選擇正確的表達方式,以及能正確地去思考事情,正是這些成就了今天的我。

Because I'm just human. I just have the ability to throw the ball a long way and run around and make some cool and fun throws and make some people smile. But the reality is that I still have pressure, I still have worries, I still have fears, I still have things that happen. Still have loss.

因為我只是一個普通人,我能做得只是把球扔得遠遠的,奔跑,並且投幾個炫酷的球,給人們帶去些歡樂。但真實的情況是我也有壓力,我也有擔心,我也有恐懼,我也遇到突發的狀況,也會有失去。

Positivity can be dangerous. But what always works is negativity. I never wanted to live in negativity, so I stayed in neutral. I kept my shift in neutral. And so that's where I lived, and that's where I've been living ever since.

樂觀情緒也可能是危險的,但悲觀情緒卻總是存在的。我不想活在悲觀之中,所以我保持中立,使自己處於中立的狀態,所以那就是我現在的生活,那也是我一直以來生活的狀態。
