And sometimes, it's appropriate. And that's what a person committed to excellence does-understands when,
有時候這是合適的 有時候追求卓越的人也會持有這種態度
for example, if you are a surgeon, you want to have the perfect operation.
比如 如果你是一個醫生 你想做一場完美的手術
You don't want to say, "well, it's OK. I'm 80 percent right about where exactly to cut."
你可不會說 “好吧 沒關系啊 我切對了八成應該切的東西”
Yeah, there are places where you want the perfectionism.
沒錯 在有些場合你會需要完美主義
But in many other areas in our lives, it's not necessary.
但是在我們生活中的其他方面 都不必要
And it hurts us. A perfectionist is very often prone to disorders.
甚至會傷害我們 完美主義者往往傾向混亂
And I mean disorders of numerous times including, for example, eating disorder.
我是指多方面的混亂 比如進食問題
So let me give you a personal example.
我來給你們提供一個個人的例子吧
So when I was playing squash, when I was playing full time,
在我還在打職業壁球的時候
I had to really take care of my diet-eat healthfully, eat well.
我必須控制我的食譜 要吃得健康吃得好
But there was a problem. There was a real challenge in my life.
但還是產生了問題 我的生活中有一項重大挑戰
And that challenge was my mother who is the perfect cook. And her cakes are outstanding.
這挑戰就是我的母親個完美的大廚 她做的的蛋糕尤其誘人
So here is the common scenario that I encountered growing up-tough childhood:
于是就有了這樣的我在長大的時候 常常遇到的狀況 痛苦的童年：
I would come home after the squash practice, open the fridge, starving. And there was a large piece of cake.
我在壁球訓練過后回家 餓得要命地打開冰箱 然后那里面有一大塊蛋糕
Not a whole cake, but you know a quarter cake, very large, so inviting. So alluring.
不是一整個 但差不多四分之一個 非常大的一塊 實在是非常誘人
And I know from past experiences it's so delicious. I look at it. And then I close the fridge.
我根據以往的經驗知道 這很好吃 我看著這塊蛋糕 然后關上了冰箱門
Because I can't have it. I'm in middle of training for an important tournament.
因為我不能吃 當時我正在在為一個重要的巡回賽訓練
