发布时间:2013-11-19  编辑:查字典英语网小编

“It is necessary for a man to go away by himself, to sit on a rock and ask, ‘Who am I, where have I been, and where am I going?” ― Carl Sandburg
“每个人都有必要自己走开,坐在一块岩石上,问自己,‘我是谁,我从哪里来,我要到哪里去?’”——卡尔-桑德伯格
Here are 10 questions that you can ask yourself every day which will help you exercise the art of self-introspection and self-reflection to monitor your progress in life. It is best done at the end of the day before retiring to bed.
下面这10个问题你每天都可以问问自己,它们有助于你锻炼自我反思和反省的艺术,来监督你生活的进程。最好是在一天结束、睡觉之前来问这些问题。
1. Am I a little better than yesterday?
我比昨天进步了一点点吗?
You know you are progressing if you are a little better today that who you were yesterday. Instead of comparing yourself with others and falling prey to envy, jealousy and despair, try to become a little better every day.
如果今天比昨天的自己好了那么一点,你就会知道自己正在进步。不要把自己和他人比较,成为羡慕、嫉妒和绝望的牺牲品。试着每天进步一点点。
2. Have I built my character?
我已经建立了自己的性格吗?
“When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost, something is lost; when character is lost, all is lost.” - Billy Graham
“失去财富,不算损失;失去健康,有些损失;失去性格,全部损失。”——比利-格雷厄姆
Your character is what defines you. Build your character upon the principles of truthfulness, humility, meekness and honesty. Character is not built in a day. It is built by daily investments you put in as you go on with your day’s activities. Do your work with integrity. Treat everyone with equality. Keep your words soft, sweet and comforting. Do not do anything, even if it seems petty, that can erode your character.
你的性格决定了你是谁。以真实、谦逊、温和和诚实为原则建立你的性格,这不是一天能打造出来的。这是在你每天的日常活动中由每天的投入打造而成。做一个正直的人,公平对待每个人,让你的话语温和、甜美、舒服。任何可能腐蚀你性格的事情,哪怕再小,也不要去做。
3. Did I give my best at work?
我在工作中尽力了吗?
Did you feel excited about going to work today? Did you put all your heart and enthusiasm into work? If no, find out what is hindering you from doing so and resolve it. A satisfying day at work will elevate you mood.
你今天去上班是否感到激动?你是否把全部心思和激情投入到工作中了呢?如果没有,看看是什么妨碍了你这样做,然后解决这个问题。在工作中满意的一天会提升你的情绪。
4. What did I learn new today?
今天我学到了什么新东西吗?
Learn something new every day. Your mind and your health are the most precious resources that have been bestowed upon you. It is important to keep your mind sharp and supple. Read a book. Learn a new language. Build your vocabulary. Learn something new that you find interesting or useful to you. You cease to grow once you stop learning. Learning is never a waste of time. It will sure fetch huge dividends.
每天学点新东西。你的头脑和健康是已经属于你的最宝贵的资源。让你的头脑保持敏锐灵活很重要。读一本书,学习一门新的语言,提升你的词汇量。学习一些你觉得有趣或者有用的新东西。一旦你停止学习,你就停止了成长。学习永远不会浪费时间。它会给你带来巨大的利润。
5. Have I made healthier choices?
我是否做出了更健康的选择?
Your health is your responsibility. Jog, run, or hit the gym; anything your schedule will allow you to. Sparing as little as 15 minutes a day is better than being dead 24 hours a day! Avoiding unhealthy food habits is a healthier choice as well. Reduce the consumption of junk food.
你有责任让自己保持健康。慢跑、跑步,或者去健身房,在你的日程表允许的情况下尽可能多锻炼。一天只花15分钟锻炼也比一天24小时不动要好!避免不健康的饮食习惯也是一种更健康的选择。减少垃圾食物的摄入量。
6. Have I protected my planet?
我是否保护了地球环境?
It is your duty to preserve the planet you live on. Do not leave the water running while you brush or shave. Turn off the lights and electrical appliances when not in use. Leave the earth a better place for your children.
你有责任维护你所居住的地球环境。刷牙或刮胡子的时候不要让水一直流着。当你不用时关掉电灯和其他电器设备。为你的孩子们留下一个更好的地球环境。
7. Have I expressed my love for my family and friends?
我是否对我的家人和朋友表达了我的爱?
Note the word “express”. It is not enough to think lovingly or merely talk. Express your love and affection both in words as well as in action. Do a little work of love every day. A small investment everyday will reap big dividends.
注意“表达”这个词。只是怀着爱去想念或者单纯的谈话是不够的。在语言和行动上来表达你的喜爱和感情。每天做一点关于爱的小事。每天一点小的投入会让你有巨大的收获。
8. Have I spent quality time with my spouse?
我是否和自己的伴侣度过了品质时光?
Spend quality time with your spouse. You don’t have to go out on a date every day. Take time to share your day, your experiences and your feelings with your spouse. And listen to your spouse as well.
和你的伴侣一起享受品质时光。你们没有必要每天出去约会。花一些时间和他/她分享你一天的经历和感受,也听听他/她的。
9. Do I bear any grudges against anyone?
我是否对某些人心存怨恨?
Before you go to sleep, rewind your day and check if you’d had a bad experience with anyone that day. No matter whose fault it was, try to resolve it before midnight. Call and say sorry. Speak it out and resolve the matter. Brooding grudges and malice isn’t healthy for your heart. The anger destroys you slowly. Forgive and let go, make peace.
入睡前回想这一天,看看你是否和某人有不愉快的经历。不管是谁的错,试着在午夜来临前化解怨恨。打电话去道歉。说出来,解决这个问题。带着怨恨和恶意对你的心脏健康不利。愤怒会慢慢将你摧毁。学会原谅和放下,讲和吧。
10. Am I content with my life?
我对我的生活感到满意吗?
Be content with what you have. Make happiness your ambition. Mind you, that doesn’t mean you have to be complacent. You need to have goals and strive for the best. But be content with what you have been blessed with. Count your many blessings and life live cheerfully.
对你所拥有的感到满足。让你的抱负感到幸福。记住,这并不意味着你要自满。你需要有目标,并朝着最好的去奋斗。但要对你已经拥有的感到知足。看看你所拥有的这么多,然后幸福地生活。
