演讲精彩片段(节选)欣赏

 

There are 168 hours in a week. Twenty-four times seven is 168 hours. That is a lot of time. If you are working a full-time job, so 40 hours a week, sleeping eight hours a night, so 56 hours a week -- that leaves 72 hours for other things. That is a lot of time. 

我们每周都有168个小时,24乘以7是168个小时。这是一段很长的时间。假如你有一个全职工作,一周40个小时,每晚睡八个小时,一周是56个小时,我们有剩下72个小时来做其他事情。那也是一段很长的时间。

 

You say you're working 50 hours a week, maybe a main job and a side hustle. Well, that leaves 62 hours for other things. You say you're working 60 hours. Well, that leaves 52 hours for other things. You say you're working more than 60 hours. Well, are you sure?

假如你说你每周工作50个小时,比如一份全职和一份兼职。这样你还是有60小时去做其他的事情。假如你说你每周工作60个小时,你还是有52个小时去做其他的事情。你说你每周工作超过60个小时,你确定吗? 

 

So we have plenty of time, which is great, because guess what? We don't even need that much time to do amazing things. But when most of us have bits of time, what do we do? Pull out the phone, right? Start deleting emails. Otherwise, we're puttering around the house or watching TV.

所以我们有很多时间,这很好。但是你知道吗?我们根本不需要那么多时间去完成一个大目标。但当我们有一点空闲时间的时候,我们会做什么?拿出手机,是吧?开始删除邮件。或者在家里闲逛,看电视。

 

But small moments can have great power. You can use your bits of time for bits of joy. Maybe it's choosing to read something wonderful on the bus on the way to work

但是每个不起眼的时刻都潜力无限。你可以用零星的时间,来获得零星的快乐。比如说坐公车在去上班的路上读一些精彩的东西。

 

 

It's about looking at the whole of one's time and seeing where the good stuff can go. I truly believe this. There is time. Even if we are busy, we have time for what matters. And when we focus on what matters, we can build the lives we want in the time we've got.

这就事关一个人所有的时间,然后找到什么时候可以做想做的事。我真的相信,我们都有充分的时间。就算我们很忙,我们仍然有时间去做重要的事。当我们关注在重要的事上时,我们可以用所拥有的时间创造我们想要的生活。
