抓緊溜走的時間

Imagine today in 2030-10 years from now.

想象一下，如果現在是十年后的2030年

You will still be you,

你還是你自己

except you will have changed.

但你已改變

Think back to the 2010 version of you

回想一下2010年的你

and I bet you will struggle to recognize that person.

相信你一定很難認出當時的你了

Regardless of whether you are consciously changing

無論你是否意識到自己的變化

-you are changing whether you want to or not.

無論你是否想要改變，這種改變已經存在

We overestimate what we can achieve in a week

我們常常高估自己能在一周內完成的工作

and underestimate what we can achieve in a year.

卻常常低估我們能在一年里做成的事情

Habits are easy to stick to

養成一個新習慣很容易

while we're in the ‘honeymoon week'

特別是我們處在對某種習慣的“蜜月期”的時候

but the real change occurs when you try to stick to them for a year.

但是，只有堅持一年的時間，你才會發現真正的變化

In 10 years time

十年之后

you will be living a completely different life.

你的生活會跟現在截然不容

You may start a family

或許你已成家立業

or be on a new career path

或開始了新的事業

and you may even be the boss of your own company.

甚至，你有可能已經是自己公司的老板

Don't get stuck in the trap of "sorting things out later"

別老想著“日后再來理性頭緒”這樣的說法，那只是一個陷住你的泥潭

or thinking that you have tonnes of time.

也別想著你許多時間

We are already in 2021

我們已經開始了2021年

and the year will be over before you know it, just like 2020.

在你尚未意識到的時候，這一年會像2020年一樣，很快就會結束

Start by improving 1% per day

每天做出1%的改進

and it will compound.

你會有滿滿的收獲

Over a year you will grow

一年之后，你會成長巨大

and over 10 years you will create big things.

10年之后，你會有非凡的成就

Time will pass whether you're using it or if you're not.

所以無論你如何對待時間，時間都會悄無聲息的流失

Choose to use your time.

記得一定用心珍惜時間，不要虛度自己的年華
