今日读了美国的一首小诗
叫《走在自己的时区里》:
在时间上,纽约走在加州前面三个小时,
New York is 3 hours ahead of California,
但加州并没有变慢。
but it does not make California slow.
有人22岁就毕业了,
Someone graduated at the age of 22,
但等了五年才找到好工作!
but waited 5 years before securing a good job!
有人25岁就当上了CEO,
Someone became a CEO at 25,
却在50岁去世了。
and died at 50.
也有人直到50岁才当上CEO,
While another became a CEO at 50,
最后活到90岁。
and lived to 90 years.
有人依然单身,
Someone is still single,
而别人却早已结婚。
while someone else got married.
奥巴马55岁退任总统,
Obama retires at 55,
而川普却是70岁才开始当。
but Trump starts at 70.
世上每个人都有自己的发展时区。
Absolutely everyone in this world works based on their Time Zone.
身边有些人看似走在你前面,
People around you might seem to go ahead of you,
也有人看似走在你后面。
some might seem to be behind you.
但其实每个人在自己的时区有自己的步程。
But everyone is running their own RACE, in their own TIME.
不用嫉妒或嘲笑他们。
Don't envy them or mock them.
他们都在各自的时区,你在你的!
They are in their TIME ZONE, and you are in yours!
所以,别放弃。
So, Never Give up
你没有落后,
You're not LATE.
你没有领先。
You're not EARLY.
在命运为你安排的属于你自己的时区里,一切都非常准时。
You are very much ON TIME, and in your TIME ZONE Destiny set up for you.
再好,别忘了危机与奋斗,
Keep fighting and stay alert, no matter how good;
再难,别忘了梦想与坚持,
Keep dreaming and carry on, no matter how hard;
再忙,别忘了读书与锻炼,
Keep reading and exercising, no matter how busy;
人生,就是一场长跑。
Life is a long run。
读完之后结合最近阅读的《现代化》《时间的朋友》《人生算法》几个都从不同维度谈到了时间。有大历史,有具体细则,有概率思维。但无一例外都提到长线。
我们没有长线思维,本质上是不知道人生的节奏。而将社会的节奏、别人的节奏安排到自己身上,从而很不适应。很多在投资中讲究护城河、能力区,在我们生活的过程中,我们也要勇敢的走在自己的时区,不被他人干扰,找到自己的得力所在。
