And I said to him, "Hugh, I want to teach workshop. Or two day workshops-one on leadership, one on the pursuit on excellence and success."
我告诉他“休 我想开一次专题讨论会 为时两天的讨论会 一天关于领导力 另一天关于追求卓越与成功”
And he said, "that's great. I think it will really help the employees. When do you want to do it by?"
他说“太好了 这会对员工帮助很大 你想什么时候进行?”
I said, "July 1." This was January of 1995.
我说“7月1日” 当时是1995年1月
And he said, "fine." Put down the phone, I called in…I was here at the time. I called him up.
他说“好的” 挂上了电话 我是打电话说的 我当时在这里 是打电话给他的
And as soon as I put down the phone, I said, "Oh. Shoot. What have I just done?" One of the best things that I ever did.
我一放下电话 就脱口而出“天啊 我干了什么?”我做过最正确的事
Because I went public with it. I threw my knapsack over the wall. And I had to start working, whether I liked it or not.
因为我公布了目标 破釜沉舟 不得不着手开工 无论我是否喜欢
And that helped me overcome procrastination. Because I knew that I wanted to teach at some point. But when I went public with it, in a sense, it "forced" me to do it.
这帮助我克服了拖延 因为我知道自己想开设专题讨论会 一旦对外公布 某种意义上 我就被迫去做了
And I gave the workshop. It wasn't the best workshop in July of 1995, but I did it.
后来我开设了讨论会 虽然不是1995年7月最棒的专题讨论会 但我办到了
And I worked extremely hard toward it. The team approach. The best predictor, for example of maintaining an exercise regime is doing it with other people.
我准备得很努力 团队方法 比如 坚持训练课程最好的方法之一就是和其他人一起进行
Now this is not right of everyone. Some people-exercise is something that they want to do by themselves, just with their Discman or just by themselves at home. And that's OK. However, for most people, doing it with other people actually helps.
可能不是每个人都适用 有些人 喜欢一个人进行训练 一个人听着随身听 或者独自在家进行 完全没问题 但是对大多数人来说 与别人一起进行会有所帮助
