大家好,今天要帶大家聽的這段聽力來源於Jim Rohn在1982年的一段演講。吉米·羅恩(Jim Rohn), 1930年生,2009年卒。美國最傑出的商業哲學家,成功學之父、成功學創始人。代表作品:《快樂致富 ——獲得財富與快樂的7個策略》。
我本人開車時經常會聽他的各種演講,有很多都是四五十年前錄製的,但是他的思想放到今天,依然有非凡的指導意義。
Jim Rohn認為,人生一輩子的智慧,可以濃縮成簡要的秘訣:
3.學習自我改變 — 要讓事情改變,自己必須改變;要讓事情變的更好,自己必須變的更好。 5.掌握時間 — 凡事先計劃,後行動;凡事以結果為導向。 6.與贏家為伍 — 問自己,我每天跟誰在一起?他們對我的影響是正面還是負面?7.生活要有品味 — 好的生活品味來自內涵,與銀行存款無關。
今天與大家分享他演講錄音的節選,與君共勉~
It's not what happens it's what you do, what happens is about the same, you might put that in prints here, same, what people do that's what's different. 重要的不是發生了什麼,而是你怎樣做。太陽底下,並無鮮事,世事大多千篇一律,但是人們的應對方法卻各不相同。 Anything can happen, right, everything can happen, I've heard all the stories, I've been one of the stories, hey we could all tell stories all night long, right, happenings, anything can happen, everything can happen, anything can happen, but it's not the happenings, it's what you do about it. Somebody says, yeah, but you don't understand the disappointments I've had, come on, everybody's had their share, disappointments are not special gifts reserved for the poor, everybody has them, the difference is what you do about it.什麼事都可能發生,我見過人生百態,我自己也是這些故事中的一個,這類故事我們可以講整整一晚上,是的,什麼事都可能發生,但重要的不是發生了什麼,而是我們該如何面對。有人會說,確實如此,但你無法體會我經歷的那些失望,得了吧,誰都有心灰意冷的時候,失望並非是窮人的專屬,每個人會經歷,但區別在於你如何對待它。
Starting tomorrow what are you going to do, that'll make a change in your life's direction, good question, what are you gonna do starting tomorrow that'll make a difference. Now see if you don't do something starting tomorrow that'll make a difference, guess what, it's gonna be the same, and see that way you can guess what the next five years are gonna be like, look at the last five, because the next five are gonna be like the last five, unless, you made your key tomorrow change it all, or change a little or change something or don't change, it's choice time you can do whatever you want.
從明天起,你的所作所為會改變你人生的方向,但問題是,你要做什麼才能使生活日新月異。 現在想想,如果你明天依然無所作為,那結果可想而知,你的明天和今天沒什麼兩樣,可以預見,接下來的五年也都不會有什麼起色,回頭看看你過去的五年就知道這個判斷是多么正確了。除非,你明天做出關鍵決定,是痛改前非,還是做一點改變,抑或是故步自封,是時候做出你的選擇了。
