A friend of mine wanted to lose some weight.
我有一个朋友想减肥。
He tried everything. He spent a whole day eating fish soup only.
他用尽了各种方法。他一整天都只喝鱼汤度日。
Then he spent another day fasting. Then he started to skip breakfast. Then, for an afternoon he had fruit only. Then only rice, for 12 hours.
然后下一天禁食。接下来他开始不吃早饭。紧接着下午只吃水果，接下来的 12 小时吃米饭。
But nothing would work. Big belly, small arms.
然而什么都没有发生。依旧是大肚子，细手臂。
“Why do you want to be skinnier?” I asked.
“为什么想变瘦？”问道。
“I don’t really know, it’s just better” he replied.
“我不是很清楚，就是瘦会好一点”他回答道。
And then he only had salad for a day. And then a Chinese takeaway.
然后他吃了一天的沙拉。紧接着是中式快餐。
He didn’t know what he wanted, he only knew what he didn’t really want.
I like this quote from Lewis Carroll.
他并不知道自己要什么，只知道自己不要什么。我喜欢刘易斯·卡罗尔的这段话。
One day Alice came to a fork in the road and saw a Cheshire cat in a tree.
“Which road do I take?” she asked.
“Where do you want to go?” was his response.
“I don’t know.” Alice answered.
“Then,” said the cat, “it doesn’t matter.”
某天爱丽丝来到一个岔路口，看见树上有一只柴郡猫。
“我应该走那边？”爱丽丝问道。
“你想去哪里？”对方回应。
“我不知道。”爱丽丝回答。
“那么，”猫说，“选什么都无所谓了。”
Hard work is just a tool. But where do you actually want to go?
努力工作只是一种方式。但你想要到达何处？
Work on the right thing, and hard work will come as a consequence, not a cause.
在正确的方向上前进，努力工作就会随之而来，而并不是原因。
Good luck!
好运！
