Either you run the day or the day runs you.
要嘛你掌控着日子,要嘛让日子掌控你。
-- Jim Rohn 吉米·罗恩
Good morning! Today we have a quote from Jim Rohn. Never heard of him? That&`&s all right. I hadn&`&t either until I heard his name mentioned on one of my favorite podcasts. Rohn is considered one of the founders of the "self development" movement in America. His work has influenced millions of people around the world.
早安!今天我们有一则来自吉米·罗恩的引语。什么?没听过他?没错,我也是在听一个我最喜欢的电台时,才听说了他。罗恩被公认为是最早在美国发起“自我发展”运动的创始人之一。他的所作所为,已经在世界范围内,影响了成千上万的人们。
Today&`&s quote tells us that "Either you run the day, or the day runs you". Here, run doesn&`&t mean 跑步, it means 管控. If you don&`&t control your day, it will control you. What does that mean?
今天的引语告诉了我们:要嘛你掌控着日子,要嘛让日子掌控你。在这里,“run”并不是跑步的意思,而是管控、掌控的意思。如果你不能控制好每一天,它就会反过来掌控你。这又是什么意思呢?
Throughout our day, we face dozens, if not hundreds of decisions. How we deal with those decisions--passively or actively--determines our productivity throughout the day. Do you wake up in the morning and immediately check your 朋友圈 or watch some funny videos? Or do you use this time to plan your day and anticipate the decisions you&`&ll be making?
每一天,我们要面对成十、甚至成百个抉择。那我们会如何面对这些抉择呢——是被动还是主动——这也决定了我们一天下来的效率。你早上起来会马上刷朋友圈,看搞笑的视频嘛?还是你会利用这个时间去做当天的计划,去提前预见那些当天会面对的抉择。
The latter is how you run your day.
而后者才能让你掌控日子。
Have a wonderful day today! Peace out~
