(5件為了自己必須馬上停止及開始做的事情)

5 Things to Stop Doing

5件馬上停止的事:

1.
Stop stalling and being
lazy(勿再拖延及懶散)

You can’t build a good reputation or a
successful way of life based on what you could do or might do someday. （你不可能為自己建立好的名聲及成功的人生道路在你尚未付出行動前）

2.
Stop neglecting your
self-control.(勿忽視自我控制)

Nobody ever wrote down a plan to be broke,
lazy, out of shape, uneducated, etc. These things happen when you lose
your self-control.（沒有任何一個人因為自己的訂定計畫而破產，懶散，未受教育等，但當你沒有為自己教育時，這些事情就會發生）

3.
Stop looking outside
yourself.（停止尋找自身事外的事）

The problem is that when you think you have
to LOOK for things in life like love, meaning, and inspiration, the LOOKING
implies that these things are somehow hiding behind some bushes somewhere, just
waiting to be discovered. But that’s not the case.

當你自認為需要尋找人生的愛，意義，啟發等事物時，這就是個問題，因為尋找這些事物其實隱含了你需要花很多時間去尋找，但這些尋找的過程都不是重點。

In life you have to CREATE your own love, define your own
meaning, and harbor
your own inspiration. This process starts on the inside, not somewhere
else.

人生是你自己要創造自身的愛，定義你自己存在的意義，自己思索自己啟發。這些過程都是從自己內化開始，而不是從外發掘。

4.
Stop letting negative people
drain you.

（不要讓負面的人耗盡你）

You might
think being alone makes you lonely, but that’s not entirely true. Being
surrounded by the wrong people is the loneliest place in the world.

你或許認為孤單是因為自己只有一個人，但這個道理是錯誤的。世上最孤單的事是當你四周都是錯誤的人時。

5.
Stop belittling your efforts
and your progress. (不要再小看自己的付出及進步)

Appreciate where you are now and keep
fighting for where you want to be tomorrow. You are not a failure until
you give up on yourself. Keep going!

感謝自己所處的地位及持續為你的目標奮鬥。當你尚未放棄自己之前你都不算失敗。加油!

5 Things to
Start Doing

5件必須開始做的事情

1.
Start living.（開始生活）

Don’t simply exist in this world, grab
life’s full potential by the horns and ride it out. Dare life to be all
it can be. Make it a
memorable, gripping
account of accomplishment. Make it a thrilling, challenging, bold
adventure. Make life a passionate, enduring, poetic romance.

不要簡單地存在於這個世界上，駕馭及把握人生所帶來的潛力。敢於生活，使它成為一個令人難忘的，扣人心弦的賬戶的成就。一個令人興奮的，具有挑戰性的，大膽的冒險。讓生活成為一個充滿激情的，持久的，詩意的浪漫。

2.
Start taking chances that
feel right.

（開始抓住感覺對的機遇）

Life will try to break you sometimes;
nothing and no one can completely protect you from it. Remaining alone in
your comfort zone won’t either, for endless, stagnant solitude will also break
you with yearning.

有時人生將嘗試破壞你，這時沒有人能完全保護你。也不能獨自在自己的安樂窩，停滯的孤獨，也將打破你的嚮往。

You’re human. You have to love.
You have to feel. You have to strive. You are here to risk your
heart by putting it into something you believe in.

我們是人類。所以你必須去愛必須去感受，必須去爭取。你必須將你的心放在你所相信的地方。

3.
Start indulging in
meaningful challenges.

(開始沈溺於有意義的挑戰)

What a true blessing it is that there is
always work to be done. Because the real value of any accomplishment is
not in the end result, it is in the process of accomplishment.

真正的祝福，就是總有工作要做。因為任何成就的真正價值是不是最終的結果，它是在這個過程中的成就感。

4.
Start nurturing your real
family.

（開始建立你真正的家庭）

Family is built with love; it’s not
determined by marriage certificates, divorce papers, and formal adoption
documents. Families grow from the heart, through mutual love and respect

家庭是用愛來建立的，它不是靠結婚證書，離婚協議書，正式文件來決定。家庭的成長來自於真心，通過相互的愛和尊重。

5.
Start making time for YOU.

（替自己打造專屬自己的時間）

There is objective time meant for focused work, but also
subjective time where the pulse of your life breathes – your relationships,
your awareness, your hobbies, etc.

既然你的工作有所謂的目標，當然也必須給自己時間呼吸人生的脈搏 – 像是你的人際關係，你的意識，你的愛好，等等。
