It's true. And how do you know when you're doing something right? How do you know that? It feels so. What I know is that feelings are really your GPS system for life. When you're supposed to do something or not supposed to do something, your emotional guidance system lets you know. The trick is to learn to check your ego at the door and start checking your gut instead. Every right decision I've made--every right decision I've ever made--has come from my gut. And every wrong dicision I've ever made was a resulf of me not listening to the greater voice of myself.
這是真的。但是你怎么知道你所做的是適合你的呢?你怎么知道呢?跟著感覺走。我現(xiàn)在所知道的就是你的內(nèi)心是你人生的導(dǎo)航系統(tǒng)。你是應(yīng)該做某事還是不應(yīng)該做,你內(nèi)心的引導(dǎo)系統(tǒng)會讓你知道。關(guān)鍵是去面對自己,面對自己的內(nèi)心。我做過的所有正確的選擇——我做的所有正確的選擇——都是源自內(nèi)心的。而我所做的所有錯誤選擇都是因為沒有聽取內(nèi)心的聲音。
If it doesn't feel right, don't do it. That's the lesson. And that lesson alone will save you, my friends, a lot of grief. Even doubt means don't. This is what I've learned. There are many times when you don't know what to do. When you don't know what to do, get still, get very still, until you do know what to do.
如果感覺不對勁,就不要去做。這就是我的經(jīng)驗。朋友們,這個經(jīng)驗會讓你免遭很多痛苦。甚至內(nèi)心有些許的懷疑都意味著不要去做。這就是我所學(xué)到的。也許有很多次你都不知道該做什么,那就靜下心來,保持冷靜,直到你確實明白該做什么為止。
And when you do get still and let your internal motivation be the driver, not only will your personal life improve, but you will gain a competitive edge in the working world as well. Because, as Daniel Pink writes in his best-seller, A Whole New Mind, he says, "We're entering a whole new age." And he calls it the "Conceptual Age", where traits that set people apart today are going to come from our hearts--right brain--as well as our heads. "It's no longer just the logical, linear, rules-based thinking that matters," he says. "It's also empathy and joyfulness and purpose, inner traits that have transcendent worth." These qualities bloom when we're doing what we love, so, when we're involving the wholeness of ourselves in our work, both our expertise and our emotion.
當(dāng)你靜下心來,讓內(nèi)心的動機成為驅(qū)動力時,不僅你的個人生活會提高,你在工作中也會獲得競爭優(yōu)勢。因為,正如丹尼爾·皮恩科在他的暢銷書《全新思維》中所說的那樣,“我們進入了一個新的時代”,他稱之為“概念時代”。使人與人之間產(chǎn)生差異的是人們的內(nèi)心和頭腦。他的書中說到,“重要的不僅僅是邏輯上的、線性的、基于規(guī)則的思維方式。移情、快樂、目標(biāo)和內(nèi)部特質(zhì)同樣也有卓越的價值。”當(dāng)我們做自己喜歡的事時,當(dāng)我們?nèi)硇牡耐度氲焦ぷ髦袝r,這些特質(zhì)就會煥發(fā)生機。
