双语阅读：关于成功,幸福与创新的7条人生感悟

　　以下是学习啦小编整理的哲理类英语美文欣赏：关于成功,幸福与创新的7条人生感悟 ， 希望对你有所启发。

　　I recently looked back at the last two years of my life and contemplated the lessons I've learned. I wasn't bored, wasn't in search for myself, and I wasn't reeling after a defeat; I simply wanted to improve and reflect. I think this is important — to appreciate our wins, losses, new passions, insights, etc. Not reflecting on our lives and experiences is, well, a wasted chance for growth and learning.

　　最近，我回顾了下自己在这两年来的生活，而且还反思总结出了不少的人生感悟。我的生活很有趣，我知道自己想要的是什么，失败过后我总能越战越勇;我想要的仅仅是不断地提升自己而已。我觉得珍视每一次成功与失败以及新的激情和愿景等都是非常重要的。如果不从生活经历中反思自省的话，我们就放弃了自我提升的绝好机会。

　　At first I was going to jot these lessons down in my diary but then remembered that we are in the age of information sharing and collaboration. So I thought that sharing them here will extend their meaning and benefit beyond my own personal gain and that's a great thing.

　　起先我是以日记的方式记录下我的人生感悟，但后来我意识到我们都生活在一个信息收集与分享的时代。所以，我觉得把这些人生感悟分享给更多的人会更有意义。这样不仅仅是我还有其他的读者都会从中收获价值。

　　So without further adieu, here are some of the more profound things I've learned recently:

　　言归正传，下面我就把自己的人生体会分享给大家：

　　1. Focus on the process and not the outcome

　　1.专注于过程而非结果

　　This thought was beautifully summed up by Srikumar Rao. He explains how we fail because we focus our energies on the outcome (the object or circumstance we desire) rather than the process itself. When a child learns to walk, she never focuses on the outcome but solely on the process. Success is then an unthought but very probable outcome.

　　这一思想曾被斯里库马·拉奥 ( Srikumar Rao)非常完美地诠释过。他解释了我们之所以会失败的原因就是我们把注意力都聚焦在了结果(我们所渴望的某种东西或某种境况)上而不是过程上。小孩子在学走路的时候从不会在意结果会是怎样的，他所关心的仅仅是这个过程。所以，心无旁骛地关注于过程，成功就会到来。

　　2. Failure is a lead not a stop sign

　　2.失败意味着做出改变而非放弃追求

　　When you hit a wall and things don't turn up the way they were intended, no one is saying to you: "This is where you stop because you failed". If you do, you are reading the wrong information. Failure tells us, "this method and the intended result do not match. Try another method".

　　当你面临困境，事事不如意的时候，没有人会对你说;“这儿就是你该放弃的时候，因为你失败了”。如果你真的放弃了，那你就错误地理解了你当前所面临的处境。失败告诉我们，“这个方法行不通，那就换个方法。”

　　3. Rejection is a booster not a downer

　　3.拒绝是助推剂而非绊脚石

　　When you get that metaphorical slap in the face (or literal one) after your job application, idea, project, invention or proposal has been rejected, don't waste time feeling bad about it. Stop taking it personally; it's not about you. That slap in the face is a wake-up call for you to pick up your things and keep on moving. Things get rejected every second. So stop the fuss and move on!

　　当你在求职面试、提议、发明、想法或策划时遭遇拒绝，不要浪费时间为之感到难过。不要把一切原因都归结于自己一个人身上。那些让你感到当头一棒的拒绝都是让你保持清晰并继续上路的助推剂。不顺心的事时时发生，所以不要抱怨忧郁，继续上路!

　　4. Happiness is not the destination but the journey

　　4.幸福不是一个结果而是一个过程

　　We think that happiness is a result that comes after having acquired or achieved something we don't have. The problem is that we are creating the wrong model in our mind in which we link happiness to something that is still to come. This brings eternal dissatisfaction not happiness. Happiness is when we accept and enjoy everything as it is. It's about stepping back and enjoying the ride rather than expecting it at your destination point.

　　我们都认为幸福就是当我们获得了自己未曾拥有的东西后的一种结果。而问题就在于我们创造了一种错误的思维模式并深信幸福正在到来。这只能带来无穷无尽的扫兴而不是幸福。当我们接受并享受每一件事时，幸福就在我们身边弥漫。幸福不是期待自己所向往的结果快点发生，而是享受生命的过程。

　　5. Mind vs. Heart = Turbulence, Mind + Heart = Wisdom

　　5.智慧来于心灵与思想的协调

　　Let your heart talk more; it's wiser than you think. You can be as knowledgeable and clever as one can be but if your mind is out of sync with your heart you are losing a lot of energy in internal conflict. Wisdom is really having reached a stage where you balance all your knowledge and intellect with your heart. Purely and simply.

　　听从你内心的呼唤，这要比听从你头脑的所思所想更明智。你也许有可能会成为一个绝顶聪明的人，但是如果你的思想与内心的想法不相协调时，你就会在做自我斗争时丧失许多的精力。当你能够将自己的才智与心灵相协调时，你就是一个智慧的人——纯粹而又简单。

　　6. If you want to be creative stop trying to create

　　6.如果你想要变得富有创造力，不要时刻努力着想着去创新、创新、创新

　　Creativity is understanding that sometimes you are not the creator but only the medium of a transcendent creative force, bigger than you or I. This is something I have written about in the past where I compared the creative process to the Yin & Yang duality. It has generative side - the brainstorming & playing with concepts. This takes action and effort. But there is also the receptive part which we very often forget. This is passive, intuitive and entails no action but plain receptivity. If you stop at the generative part of the process you will have an incomplete creative cycle and the more you try the more incomplete it is. so stop trying.

　　创造力有时可以理解为你并不是那个创造者而是一股创新力量中的一个媒介，这要比一个个体强大的多。过去我就为此写过一篇文章，在文中我把创新过程比作阴阳二重性。它有高创造力的一面---头脑风暴法以及以某些理念进行创造。这需要一些付出与努力。而它也有常被我们忽略的一面，就是我们是否能够接受。这是一个被动的、直观的、不需要任何操作而是单纯接受方面的问题。如果你在高创造力阶段停止了创作，你就会面临一个不完整的创作循环，你越是努力去创新，它就变得越不完整，所以你干脆就不要去尝试算了。

　　7. Gratitude is the energy-drink of the soul

　　7.心怀感激是净化灵魂一剂强心剂

　　Say thank you to the universe every morning. Appreciation and gratitude are instant soul-lifters as angst, contempt and disdain which weigh you down and make you dull. Try it out. Be thankful to at least one thing in your day. It will nudge you into appreciating the delicate equilibrium of life with more depth and perspective.

　　每天早晨起来你就应该对这个世界说声谢谢。心怀感激能彻底消除焦虑、厌恶和轻蔑给你带来的消极影响。你可以试下这招：每天至少要对一样事物表示谢意。这样做有助于你更全面深入地欣赏到生活的美好。
