And of course, vice versa.
当然,反之亦然
Whatever we choose, the self-concordant goals- and I truly believe it, that the world will become a better place, not just individualized will become a better place, if people pursue their passions, their self-concordant goals.
无论我们选择什么,自我和谐目标——我真的相信世界会变得更美好,不仅是个别地方会变得更美好,如果人们追求他们的热情所在,他们的自我和谐目标
Easier said than done. "Becoming self concordant is a difficult skill, requiring both accurate self-perceptual abilities and the ability to resist social pressures that may sometimes push one in inappropriate directions."
说比做容易,“实现自我和谐是非常困难的,要求精确的自我知觉能力还有抵抗社会压力的能力,那种压力有时会把人迫往错误的方向”
And we need to engage in these activities. Why? Because life is short. Life is short. Life is... Sorry. "Life is too short to do what I have to do; it's barely long enough to do what I want to do." The sooner we start on the want-to, the better.
我们要参与到这些活动当中。为什么?因为人生苦短,人生…抱歉。“人生短得完成不了我必须做的事,人生的长度仅够我完成我想做的事”,越早开始我们想做的事越好
This does not mean that you can't say to yourself like, "well my real passion is starting my own business. And in order to get the foundation, I will work as a consultant or an investment banker for two years. " Nothing wrong with that. Perfectly fine.
这不代表你不能对自己说“我最想的就是自己做生意,为了筹集资金,我会先当顾问或是投资银行家两年”这么说没问题。非常好
Even though it's not your passion working 80 hours a week in front of an Excel sheet.
就算你的兴趣不是一周工作80小时,处理些电子文档
