英文原文
Remember to be a fool. Sounds crazy, a fool is, by definition, a person who lacks good sense or judgment.But I'm here to tell you that good sense and judgment are highly overrated. Wisdom is too often just a fancy word for cynicism, and foolishness is a condescending word for joy, wonder, and curiosity.
记住要做一个傻瓜。听起来很疯狂,从定义上来说,傻瓜就是缺乏理智或判断力的人。但我在这里要告诉你,理智和判断力被高估了。智慧常常只是愤世嫉俗的华丽说辞,而“傻瓜”这个词对于快乐、惊奇和好奇来说,是一种居高临下的表达。
George Bernard Shaw said, "A man learns to skate by staggering about and making a fool of himself." Indeed, he progresses in all things by resolutely making a fool of himself. I couldn't agree more.
萧伯纳说过:“一个人是通过踉踉跄跄、出尽洋相来学会滑冰的。”事实上,他做任何事情都是通过坚决地让自己出丑来取得进步的。我完全赞同。
Only a fool would risk failure. Be that fool. Only a fool would work hard when there's no clear objective. Be that fool.
只有傻瓜才会冒险失败。那就做那个傻瓜。只有傻瓜才会在没有明确目标的情况下努力工作。那就做那个傻瓜。
Shouldn't we wait until we have direction before we take decisive action? Otherwise, we risk wasting a lot of time and energy. But many times in life, we don't have a clear goal. We're overwhelmed by all of the options, or we're scared. We don't know enough to succeed at the thing we want.
我们难道不应该在采取果断行动之前先确定方向吗?否则,我们就有可能浪费大量的时间和精力。但在生活中,很多时候我们并没有明确的目标。我们被各种选择弄得不知所措,或者我们感到害怕。我们对想要做成的事情了解得还不够,不足以取得成功。
Doesn't matter. Be a fool and work hard at whatever's right in front of you. When you try hard at everything you do, even if it feels utterly foolish to do so, you're opening up future doors and possibilities that you might not be seeing in the moment.
没关系。做个傻瓜,努力做好你眼前的事情。当你对所做的每一件事都全力以赴,即使这看起来非常愚蠢,你其实是在为未来打开大门,创造可能,而这些在当下你可能看不到。
