别让“两点一线”的生活毁掉你的人生

Kenneth Love English 2 2022-12-23

Find something you love to do, do it everyday, Be obsessed, balance can come later. Use your imagination, put pen to paper, declare your intentions. Set small goals, Knock them off, set more goals. You have a lot of potential as a child, but none of that is capable of manifesting itself as freedom, before you become disciplined. Build confidence, grow a deep belief, outwork people, play the long game. You don’t have to be the chosen one, the secret is to build the resolve and spirit to enjoy the plateaus. The times when it doesn’t feel like you’re improving, and you question why you’re doing this, If you’re patient, the plateaus will become springboards. Finally never stop striving, reaching for your goal until you get there. But the truth is even when we get there,even you when you get here standing on the stage. It’s the striving, fighting, pushing yourself to the limit everyday, that you miss and you longed for. 

 

找些你喜欢的事情来做,每天坚持,一门心思放在上面,之后便会熟练。运用你的想象力,在纸上写下来,声明你的意图。设定一个小目标,完成后再设定更多的目标。在孩提时你拥有无限的潜力,但没有一种能力将其表现成自由,除非你能变自律。树立信心,拥有深刻的信念,胜过他人,长久坚持。你必须成为那个被选择的人,秘诀是要树立决心和勇气去享受停滞时期。当你觉得自己毫无进步的时候,质问你自己“为什么要做这件事”。如果你有耐心,停滞时期就会变为你的跳板。最后永不停止奋斗,不断实现你的目标,直到你取得成功。但事实是即使你到达成功的彼岸,即使你现在就出在那一阶段,每天还是需要不断奋斗,迫使你突破极限。你心中念念不忘的极限。


帮你记单词:

obsess [əbˈses]  v.使痴迷;使迷恋;使着迷;唠叨;挂牵;念念不忘

ob 加强 + sess〔 = sit坐〕→ 坐着不走 → 迷住

同源词:assess(坐下里计算税款  评定),session(坐下来开会  会议),assessor(评审员,确定税款的人)

She's completely obsessed with him.

他让她神魂颠倒。

knock off [nɑːk ɔːf]  使减少;使降低;从(名单或文件中)删除;下班;收工

Udinese have knocked 10% off admission prices...

乌迪内斯队将入场费降低了10%。

 

②manifest [ˈmænɪfest]  v.表明,清楚显示(尤指情感、态度或品质);显现;使人注意到  adj.明显的;显而易见的  n.(船或飞机的)货单,旅客名单

man 手 + i 连字符 + fest 仇恨 → 仇恨得用手打 →〔恨意〕显然的

词源:该词的词根是拉丁语manifestus,由manu‘with hand,(用手)加-fest‘struck’(打)构成,所以它的原义是struck with hand(被手打的)。被手打的东西可以触摸得到,可以清清楚楚感觉到,也是显而易见的。据此,它的词义由“被手打的”引申为“显然的”。英语在14世纪吸收了manifestus,拼作manifest,也用于此义,以后也作动词用,表示“显示”、“显露”等。manifesto(宣言)一词和manifest有亲缘关系,虽然也源自拉丁语,但却直接借自意大利语。(来源:童理民)

His nervousness was manifest to all those present.

所有在场的人都看出了他很紧张。

 

③discipline[ˈdɪsəplɪn]  n.训练;训导;纪律;风纪;训练方法;行为准则;符合准则的行为;自制力;遵守纪律  v.惩罚;处罚;训练;训导;管教;自我控制;严格要求(自己)

词根cip  = cop  = cep  = cap 抓住,逮捕

self-discipline [ˌself ˈdɪsəplɪn] n.自律能力;自我约束能力

词源:古罗马人以纪律严明著称,古罗马军队之所以拥有强大的战斗力,一个主要原因就是士兵们能够严守军纪。古罗马人的纪律性是从儿童教育阶段就开始培养、锻炼出来的。古罗马人认为,教育不仅仅是传授知识,更重要的是磨练意志、培养学生吃苦耐劳、遵守纪律等各项优良品质,因此在教学活动中往往融合对学生的意志和纪律的培养,普遍采用体罚手段。

英语单词discipline来自拉丁语disciplina,指的就是古罗马的这种教育,字面意思是“指导、教学”,由此延伸出“学科”之意。由于古罗马的教育强调纪律和惩戒,因此discipline又产生了“纪律、磨练、管教”的含义。与它同源的单词有disciple(门徒、弟子)。

discipline:['dɪsɪplɪn] n.学科,纪律,磨练,管教,惩罚vt.训练,寻到,惩戒

disciple:[dɪ'saɪp(ə)l] n.门徒,弟子

FROM: 钱博士英语

Strict discipline is imposed on army recruits.

新兵受严格的纪律约束。

 

④plateau [plæˈtoʊ]  n.高原;(发展、增长后的)稳定期,停滞期  v.(在一段时期的发展后)保持稳定水平,处于停滞状态

plat 平的,平坦的 + eau → 平坦地 → 高原

If you want to be a grocer or a general or a politician or judge,You will invariably become it, that is your punishmentIf you never know what you want to beIf you live what some might call the dynamic lifebut will call the artistic life. If each day you are unsure of who you are and what you knowYou will never become anything, and that is your reward. When you grow up you tend to get told that the world is the way it is, and your life is just to live your life inside the world. Try not to bash into the walls too much, Try to have a nice family life, have fun, save a little money, life can be much broader. And that is everything around you that you call lifeOnce you dis cover one simple fact was made up by people that were no smarter than you. How many of us I wonder can recallthat childhood moment, When we experience happiness as a state of beingthat single moment of untarnished joy, that moment when everything in our world inside and out, Its alright. Everything was alright !

 

如果你想成为杂货商、将军、政治家或法官,那你必然会成为它,这就是你得到的惩罚。如果你从不知道你想要成为什么样的人,如果你活在一些人可能称之为动态生活的地方,但我将称之为艺术人生。如果你每天都不确定自己是谁,不确定自己知道什么,你将会永远不会成为他物,这就是你得到的奖赏。当你长大以后,你往往会被告知世界就是这样,然后你的生活就是活在这个世界里。尽力不要太用力砸墙,尽力拥有幸福美满的家庭,过得快活,存点钱,生活可以变得更为广阔。一旦你发现这一简单的事实,你周围所有的事务,你称之为“生活”的都是那些没你聪明的人塑造的。我们当中有哪些人我想要回忆起来的,童年的时光。当我们感受快乐作为自身的状态,那一刻是纯粹的喜悦,那一刻,我们世界内外的一切事物,都很棒,一切都很棒!
