Focus—trying to concentrate
專注——試圖集中注意力
A famous athlete once said:
一個(gè)著名的運(yùn)動(dòng)員曾經(jīng)說過:
It is not necessarily the amount of time you spent of practice that accounts,
你為鍛煉所花費(fèi)的時(shí)間多少并不重要,
it's what you put into the practice.
重要的是你在其中所投入的。
So we can spend our time, studying, or practicing, or doing whatever,
所以我們可以花時(shí)間,學(xué)習(xí),或進(jìn)行練習(xí),或者做些什么,
but if we aren't able to focus, the quality isn't there.
但是如果我們不能夠集中精力,其中也就不會(huì)有質(zhì)量。
And the time can easily get wasted.
而時(shí)間也在不經(jīng)意間就浪費(fèi)掉了。
So, assuming that you are awake, but you just don't seem to be able to focus well,
因此,假設(shè)你醒著,但你只是似乎不能夠集中精力,
what do you do to shift gears?
你能做什么來改變嗎?
What do you do to make a difference?
你能做什么來區(qū)分嗎?
Sure, just relaxing and goofing around may be a good idea once in a while, like taking a break.
當(dāng)然,只是放松和閑混一會(huì)兒也許是一個(gè)好主意,稍微休息也會(huì)不錯(cuò)。
But what helps us to focus?
但是什么能夠幫助我們集中呢?
When you really need to get some work done, and you need to be able to concentrate,
當(dāng)你真正需要做點(diǎn)事情,你就需要能夠集中精力,
what do you do?
你會(huì)怎么做呢?
Do you have kids, or teach kids?
你有孩子,或者會(huì)教孩子嗎?
If you do, you know that they have plenty of energy and a short attention span.
如果你有,你就應(yīng)該知道他們的充足精力和十分容易分散的注意力。
Combining these two things and focusing is a big, big challenge.
結(jié)合這兩件事和讓他們集中注意力真是一個(gè)很大的挑戰(zhàn)。
So, how do you help the kids?
因此,你會(huì)怎樣幫助孩子?
Carry a stick? Bribe them with candy?
隨身攜帶一根棍子?用糖果賄賂他們嗎?
Do you have any good strategies you can share?
你有沒有什么好的策略可以分享?
When it comes to the focusing for the self, or trying to help others focus, it's a challenge.
當(dāng)談到自己集中注意力,或是嘗試去幫助其他人的時(shí)候,這都會(huì)是一個(gè)挑戰(zhàn)。
