了解代价,并且愿意支付它

Hi,又见面啦!

每周我都会从上百份书摘、文章、播客和社交媒体中精选最有价值的内容,只为呈现五个点亮生活的绝妙灵感。

此刻我正靠在首尔酒店的床头,周末两天来了一场特种兵之旅,脸晒得更黑了,腿累的抬不起了,但是疲惫的身体让脑子异常的清醒,在12点30分编辑完本期内容,按下了发送按钮。

最近有一段话在互联网广为流传,出处不详但是很有道理。

普通人不可能三角 = 普通人 + 有好处 + 不用排队

普通人的不可能三角

类似的还有:

投资不可能三角 = 高收益 + 高安全性 + 高流动性

区块链不可能三角 = 去中心化 + 安全性 + 可扩展性

金融(蒙代尔)不可能三角 = 资本自由流动+ 汇率稳定 + 货币政策独立性

这让我忍不住从素材库抽出类似的内容,整理成本期主题——代价,与君共勉。

"One of life's counterintuitive lessons is that you will often gain energy by spending a little bit of energy.

When you feel lethargic and like you want to lay around all day, it is usually the case that getting up and moving will make you feel better than simply sitting around. Getting outside for 10 minutes or doing the first set of a workout or simply stretching on the floor for a moment — anything to get your body moving — will often leave you feeling more energized.

If you want to get your day going, then get your body going. It's harder for the mind to be sluggish when the body is moving."

生活中一个违反直觉的教训是,花费一点精力往往会带来更多的精力

当你感到昏昏欲睡,想要整天躺着时,通常情况下,起身活动会让你感觉比仅仅坐着要好。到外面走走10分钟,或做一组锻炼,或者在地板上简单地伸展一下——任何让身体动起来的事情——往往会让你感到更有活力。

如果你想让一天开始运转起来,那就先让你的身体动起来。当身体在活动时,思想就很难变得迟钝。

—— James Clear

这是我经常会用的一个自我激励的小技巧,想要得到,就得先给予。生活就像一个游戏机,想要赢,就要先投币。

"The bad workouts are the most important ones. It's easy to train when you feel good, but it's crucial to show up when you don't feel like it—even if you do less than you hope. 

Going to the gym for 15 minutes might not improve your performance, but it reaffirms your identity. It's not always about what happens during the workout. It's about becoming the type of person who doesn't miss workouts."

糟糕的锻炼是最重要的。当你感觉良好时,训练很容易,但在你不想训练时坚持下去至关重要——即使你做的比预期少。

去健身房15分钟可能不会提高你的表现,但它重申了你的身份。锻炼时发生的事情并不总是最重要的,关键是要成为那种从不缺席锻炼的人。

—— James Clear

以上两段话出自詹姆斯·克利尔(James Clear)的博客文章。詹姆斯·克利尔是一位美国作家和企业家,以其关于习惯养成和自我提升的著作而闻名,是畅销书《原子习惯》(Atomic Habits)的作者。

强烈推荐《原子习惯》这本书,它是一本教你如何系统地养成习惯的指南。

我能坚持健身的秘诀之一就是,无论有什么借口,我都先换上运动服。有了这一步,即使我根本没有去锻炼,也强化了自我定义——我是个坚持想要健身的人。下一次,进一步走进健身房也就更加容易了。

“I wasn’t scared of missing, looking bad, or being embarrassed. That’s because I always kept the end result, the long game, in my mind. I always focused on the fact that I had to try something to get it, and once I got it, I’d have another tool in my arsenal. If the price was a lot of work and a few missed shots, I was OK with that.

I never felt outside pressure. I knew what I wanted to accomplish, and I knew how much work it took to achieve those goals. I then put in the work and trusted in it. Besides, the expectations I placed on myself were higher than what anyone expected from me.”

我不害怕失败、出丑或尴尬。那是因为我总是把最终结果和长远目标放在心中。我一直专注于必须尝试才能获得的事实,一旦我得到了,它就会成为我武器库中的另一个工具。如果代价是大量的工作和几次失误,我可以接受。

我从未感到外界的压力。我知道自己想要完成什么目标,也知道要实现这些目标需要付出多少努力。然后,我付出了努力并信任它。再说,我对自己的期望比任何人对我的期望都高。

—— Kobe Bryant

失败和挫折是收获果实的代价,一旦你了解这一点,就不会再惧怕,而是热切地欢迎他们。

"When you choose the benefits of an action, you also choose the drawbacks.

If you want to be an author, you can't only choose the finished novel and book signings. You are also choosing months of lonely typing. If you want to be a bodybuilder, you can't only choose the fit body and attention. You are also choosing the boring meals and calorie counting.

You have to want the lifestyle, not just the outcomes. Otherwise, it doesn't make any sense being jealous. The results of success are usually public and highly visible, but the process behind success is often private and hidden from view. It's easy to want the public rewards, but also have to want the hidden costs."

当你选择一项行动的好处时,你也选择了它的缺点。

如果你想成为一名作家,你不能只选择完成的小说和签书会。你还选择了数月孤独的写作。如果你想成为一名健美运动员,你不能只选择健美的身体和注意力。你还选择了乏味的饮食和计算卡路里。

你必须想要这种生活方式,而不仅仅是结果。否则,嫉妒就没有任何意义。成功的结果通常是公开且显而易见的,但成功背后的过程往往是私密且隐藏的。人们很容易想要公开的回报,但也必须明了隐藏的代价。

这段话同样出自詹姆斯·克利尔(James Clear)的博客文章,关于代价和选择,我想没有人能比他说的更透彻了。
