小木屋硅谷投资人来信:“我对自己所拥有的一切是如此感恩。”
Steve你好,
It’s great to get your message! It’s my pleasure!
收到你的消息太棒了!这是我的荣幸!
Things are good. We are focusing on work and staying healthy and staying in touch with people.
Everyday is pretty much the same for me in a nice way. I’ve developed a rhythm and have a routine that keeps me healthy. I clean up, get ready, have coffee, exercise and work. I also make sure I talk to one or two people, and reach out to people. I have enjoyed staying more in touch with people. Then in the evenings I watch a documentary, clean up and go to bed.
每一天对我来说都在以一种很好方式重复着。我已经形成了一种新的生活节奏和秩序,让我保持在一个健康的状态。我打扫卫生,一切准备妥当,喝杯咖啡,锻炼身体,然后开始工作。我也会确保自己每天和一两个人交流,和人们保持联系。我非常享受这种和人们保持更多联系的状态。然后在晚上的时候,我会看些文件,清理房间,然后上床睡觉。
I have found that I am very grateful for what I have. The people in my life. And my apt, San Francisco, the work I get to do and my resources. I also like helping people. It’s made me practice being understanding and trying to address things through understanding. I’ve spent a lot of time thinking. And thinking about how to be more effective.
The situation has helped me focus. I like a simple life. I also realized I was expending a lot of time and energy on things that were nice and privileges, but that I didn’t necessarily need. Maybe there were a lot of things and activities I previously used to distract myself. Today, I get more happiness out of working with what I have. I watch a lot of documentaries about lighthouses, Antartica, solo living in nature, etc., so I guess I get inspiration and perspective from them :) The interesting thing is that the whole world is going through similar challenges.
眼下的疫情帮助我更加专注。我喜欢简单的生活。我也意识到我曾经花费了很多时间和精力在很多看上去美好和荣耀的事情上,但对我来说却并不是必要的。也许以前有很多事情和活动都是在让我分散注意力。今天,基于自己所拥有的事物上的工作,让我收获了更多的快乐。我看了很多关于灯塔、南极、大自然独居等方面的纪录片,所以我想,这些让我获得了很多启发和洞见:)有意思的事情是,整个世界看上去正在经历着相同的挑战。
Alysia is doing similar things. And, she’s constantly developing and seeking to do new and good things and make good use of this time. Way more than me :) And that’s very much an inspiration and motivation for me. I am happy that she and Darren are here. They both work very hard. I admire them. We stay in touch via phone and video. They seem to find neat things to do in San Francisco when they go for exercise. So that fresh perspective makes me appreciate my own city.
Alysia(小木屋的另一位美国投资人,Christian的合作伙伴)也在做着相似的事情。并且,她持续的发掘和探寻着去做一些全新的,美好的事情,并且很充分地利用自己的时间,远比我强的多:)这对我来说非常有启发,也给了我很大的动力。我非常开心她和Darren(Alysia的老公)都在这里。他们都非常努力地工作。我非常敬佩他们。我们通过电话和视频保持联系。在旧金山,当他们去跑步的时候,他们似乎找到了一些小巧而美好的事情可以去做。所以这种全新的视角,让我更加欣赏我的城市。
We’re continuing to try to innovate. I think this situation is giving us an opportunity to try new things.
我们在持续地尝试创新。我认为现在的情况给了我们机会去尝试一些新东西。
I can imagine you have a lot of problems to solve. We definitely think about that. We think about you. We know how hard you work. We hope that everyone in your life is doing well. If you ever want to talk about business or anything, just let me know. I appreciate your email. It’s good to just stay in touch!
我可以想象你一定有很多麻烦要解决。我们当然会思考这些。我们思考关于你的事情。我们知道你有多么辛苦地工作。我们期望你生命中的每个人都一切安好。如果你想聊任何关于商业或其他任何事情,请一定告诉我。我非常感谢你的邮件。能保持联系就已经非常美好了!
More soon
请尽快让我了解更多
All the best -
一切顺利~

在信中Christian所提及的自律、感恩、专注、探索、创新,这五个迎击不确定时代的关键词,恰恰是是我们小木屋书友们拥有的品质。
或许,这便是霍金所说的:“这个宇宙最浪漫的事,就是遥远的相似性”。
