雖然我們無(wú)法確定時(shí)間究竟是什么？但我們可以確定的是，“時(shí)間”確實(shí)一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)在失去。
人的一生“時(shí)間”并不多，請(qǐng)珍惜你的時(shí)間！
（視頻來(lái)源：Motivation2study）
The one commodity that is most valuable on this earth is time. Time to love, time to live. From the moment the human body is born it begins dying. I don't think you, you quite caught that. Let me say it again. From the moment the human body is born it begins dying.
世界上最有價(jià)值的東西就是時(shí)間了。時(shí)間讓我們可以去愛(ài)去活著。人從出生的那一刻起，就開(kāi)始邁向死亡了。你可能還不懂這句話(huà)的意義。再說(shuō)一次，人從出生的那一刻起，就開(kāi)始邁向死亡了。
Some happen faster, some happen slower, some of us help them go faster, and some of them prevent it from happening sooner than later. How many seconds how many minutes do we waste every day doing things, that are nowhere near the goals, and aspiration and passion that we have inside?
有時(shí)死亡來(lái)得早，有時(shí)來(lái)得慢，有時(shí)有人會(huì)主動(dòng)加快這個(gè)過(guò)程，而有的人則會(huì)努力防止它來(lái)得太早。我們每天會(huì)浪費(fèi)多少分、多少秒，在無(wú)關(guān)緊要的事情上？而這些無(wú)關(guān)緊要的事，與我們內(nèi)在的志向、目標(biāo)、熱情毫不相干。
How many times you go through the course of a day and realize: did I do anything I set out to do today? Write down those goals each and every day. No matter if there’s two goals a day. If you can accomplish those then you're doing more than just making it through the day.
你有多少次過(guò)完一整天后，才驚訝地發(fā)現(xiàn)：我做了今天本來(lái)計(jì)劃要做的事嗎？寫(xiě)下你每天的目標(biāo)。就算只有兩個(gè)目標(biāo)也沒(méi)關(guān)系，只要你能把它們完成，就比你什么都沒(méi)做就過(guò)了一天更好。
You are living and achieving your dreams. Find time to better yourself. Read, explore, research, live life do things, you've never thought of doing before. That's what it's all about.
你活著就要為了實(shí)現(xiàn)你的夢(mèng)想而努力。花時(shí)間成為那個(gè)更好的自己。閱讀、探索世界、享受人生，去挑戰(zhàn)那些你從未經(jīng)歷過(guò)的事情。那才是生命該有的樣子。
When you're born that's that date, that they put on the left side of the tombstone. When you die they put another date on the right side of the tombstone. But that dash in the middle is the most important thing on that tombstone.
你出生時(shí)的日期，會(huì)被刻在你墓碑的左側(cè)。而當(dāng)你死后，死亡的日期就會(huì)被刻在你墓碑的右側(cè)。但這兩個(gè)日期之間的“破折號(hào)”，才是這個(gè)墓碑中最重要的事。
That is a line that throughout that entire time frame. You were able to impact and touch others lives. You were able to leave your mark on this earth. You were able to build a legacy that nobody could change.
這條線(xiàn)就代表了你的一生。你曾有機(jī)會(huì)影響他人、改變他人生命。你曾有機(jī)會(huì)在地球上留下你的印記。你曾有機(jī)會(huì)在這個(gè)世界上留下一段僅屬于你的傳奇。
You were able to have it to where people remember who you are no matter what. When you're living for that dash in the middle, you're going to remember your why. Your why, why you're here, not the why, why did you do something, your why.
你曾有機(jī)會(huì)讓自己因某種原因使所有人都將你銘記。當(dāng)你活在生命的破折號(hào)中時(shí)，去找出自己活在世上的那個(gè)“為什么”吧。那個(gè)你為何會(huì)存在于世上的為什么，而不是那個(gè)為何要做某些事的為什么。
Your reason for getting up in the morning. Your reason for pushing yourself past the brink of exertion and giving up。Your reason for moving on and getting things done in life. That dash in the middle that's the thing that pushes you.
是什么給了你開(kāi)始新的一天的動(dòng)力？是什么讓你永不言棄，即便過(guò)程艱辛無(wú)比？是什么讓你不斷向前，不斷克服生命中大大小小的困難？生死之間的“破折號(hào)”應(yīng)是推你向前的動(dòng)力。
How do you rate yourself on a scale of one to ten in terms of your physical appearance? In terms of your health? Do you take care of yourself? Are you allowing yourself to get overweight and out of shape? Are you conscious of your health? Are you watching the food that you take into your body? Do you make a deliberate effort to exercise?
從一到十分，滿(mǎn)分十分，你給自己的外貌打幾分？你給自己的健康打幾分？你有好好照顧自己?jiǎn)?？還是放任了自己體重超標(biāo)、身材走形？你有重視自己的健康嗎？吃東西時(shí)，你有留意自己吃進(jìn)去的是什么嗎？你有計(jì)劃性地鍛煉，訓(xùn)練自己的身體嗎？
You know it was George Burns, he said we can't help getting older but we don't have to get old. And many of us g···et old before our time because we don't take time to take care of ourselves.
喬治·伯恩斯說(shuō)過(guò)，雖然我們無(wú)法不變老，但我們并不是一定要變老。我們之中很多人在年輕時(shí)就開(kāi)始變老了，因?yàn)槲覀儧](méi)有花時(shí)間照顧自己。
Your environment is a very good indicator on a scale of one to ten, is it what you want it to be? Do you find it desirable? Are you satisfied? The job or career that you're involved in someone said that 85% of the American public are unhappy with their jobs.
你所處的環(huán)境就是非常好的指標(biāo)，滿(mǎn)分十分，現(xiàn)在這個(gè)狀態(tài)是你想要的嗎？你向往現(xiàn)在的生活嗎？你對(duì)現(xiàn)狀滿(mǎn)意嗎？你所做的工作讓你開(kāi)心嗎？有人說(shuō)85%的美國(guó)人都在做讓自己不快樂(lè)的工作。
Are you spending eight hours a day just doing time? Doing something that you don't find challenging, that does not make you stretch mentally, that does not stimulate you, that does not inspire you, something that you don't find a sense of fulfillment in it?
你有每天至少花八小時(shí)工作，但卻感覺(jué)像在坐牢一樣嗎？是不是僅僅在做一些沒(méi)有挑戰(zhàn)，無(wú)法讓自己全力以赴，無(wú)法讓自己興奮，無(wú)法激勵(lì)自己，根本沒(méi)有任何成就感的工作？
If you're doing that day in and day out, it has to affect how you feel about yourself, your level of motivation, your relationships.
如果你就這樣一天天的得過(guò)且過(guò)，它一定會(huì)對(duì)你的自我價(jià)值、內(nèi)在驅(qū)動(dòng)力以及人際關(guān)系造成負(fù)面的影響。
What kind of impact is that having on your life? Is it nourishing or is it a toxic relationship? Does it drain you or does it build you up? Ask yourself that. How motivated are you to do something about it? Your contribution, your actions... what are you giving?
你的生命是被什么力量所影響著？你的人際關(guān)系是健康的還是有毒的？你是越變?cè)胶眠€是在越變?cè)讲?？?wèn)問(wèn)你自己，你對(duì)改變這一切又有多積極？你做了哪些努力，付諸了什么行動(dòng)，你付出了些什么？
Many people will leave the universe without a trace. No one will know they were here and in fact undertheir name we could put under there, 'not used up'. Will anybody know that you came this way? What contribution are you giving? What will you leave? What will be different because you came this way?
很多人在離世后不曾留下一絲痕跡。沒(méi)人知道他們?cè)谶@世上活過(guò)，他們的名字，可以被世界毫不費(fèi)力地直接抹去。有人會(huì)知道你曾經(jīng)造訪(fǎng)過(guò)這個(gè)世界嗎？有人會(huì)知道你做過(guò)什么貢獻(xiàn)嗎？你會(huì)留下些什么呢？這個(gè)世界因?yàn)槟愕牡絹?lái)，變得有什么不一樣了嗎？
Just, just stop for a second. Write down your why. What are you doing this for in life? If your why doesn't make you cry, that's not your why. Again, if your why doesn't make you cry, that's not your why.
停下手頭的事情，花一秒鐘，寫(xiě)下你的“為什么”吧。你這一生要依靠什么而度過(guò)？如果你的“為什么”不會(huì)讓你熱淚盈眶，那么這就不是你的“為什么”。記住，如果你的“為什么”還沒(méi)有讓你熱淚盈眶，那么這就不是你的“為什么”。
Your why should be something so big that it moves your family tree. Your why should be something so big that it changes the whole outlook on how things are with you and your home, your family, your religion, your purpose.
你的“為什么”應(yīng)該要大到足以影響到你的家族。你的“為什么”應(yīng)該要大到足以改變一切、足以改變你與你家庭的生活方式、足以改變你的信仰和你的人生追求。
Think about your passion, think about your opportunities, and that's how you find your purpose: OPP.
想想你的熱情在哪里，想想你的機(jī)會(huì)在哪里，這就是你如何找到你人生的目的：OPP。
When that why meets up with your passion, your opportunity, your purpose, then you'll find out: the most important day in your life is the day you remember why you were born.
當(dāng)你的“為什么”遇見(jiàn)了你的熱情、遇見(jiàn)了你的機(jī)會(huì)和追求，你就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)：你人生中最重要的一天就是你明白了自己為何而生的那天。
