為什麼要做一些有助於提升自己的小事是如此之難呢？那是因為我們的大腦天生就是這樣的，它會不惜一切代價去阻止你去做任何可能會傷害到你的事情。
There are so many people in the world and - and - and, you know, you may be watching this right now, and you have these incredible ideas and what you think is missing is motivation...and that's not true... Because the way that our minds are wired, and the fact about human beings is that we are not designed to do things that are uncomfortable...or scary, or difficult.
世上有這麼多的人，而且你現在也在關注：你有這些新奇的想法，但你覺得你的動力正在消失。然而事實並非如此，因為我們的大腦是緊張不安的，我們生而為人，天生就要避免不舒適、恐懼和困難。
Our brains are designed to protect us from those things, because our brains are trying to keep us alive, and in order to change, in order to build a business, in order to be the best parent , the best spouse, to do all those things that you know you want to do with your life, with your world, with your dreams, you're gonna have to do things, that are difficult, uncertain or scary, which sets up this problem, for all of us...
我們的大腦是保護我們免受其他東西的傷害，因為它在盡力讓我們存活下來。為了改變現狀，為了建立業務，為了成為最好的父母或配偶，為了做那些你所知道的所有想要做的事情，為了做那些事關你的生活、世界和夢想的事情，你就必須要做一些困難的、充滿不確定性或者可怕的事情，儘管這些事情會給我們每個人都製造難題。
The one thing we have in this world is, we can't control the events, but we can choose what to focus on, we can choose what things mean and we can choose what to do...those three choices, those three decisions, really control our life!
人生在世，我們要秉承這樣一個信念：我們無法控制事態發展，但我們能選擇我們關注的事情，我們能選擇賦予這些事情的意義，並且選擇我們要做的事情，上面這三個選擇，就是三個決定，它們會決定我們的生活。
