Sometimes I forget why I’m doing that stuff and what I’m doing. Have you ever done that? I’m not just talking about a memory problem, although that might be too. I have called my friends because I want to tell them something. And then, when I picked up a place for a while and haven’t talked about anything particular, Well, I forgot why I called that person in the first place.
有時候我忘了我做這件事情的原因，我所做的事情時什么。你曾有過這種經歷嗎？我并不僅僅是在談論記憶問題，雖然那也是有可能的。我曾經打電話給我朋友，因為我想告訴他們一些事情。然后，在選擇合適的地方后，還沒有談論什么特別的東西的時候。哦，我忘記了自己為什么要首先給那人打電話。
That’s a memory problem. I guess that counts too. But I’m talking about a deeper bigger problem, why? At one point, there was a reason why we do something. For long-term projects, we need to remind ourselves of that reason. Why did I start to learn a language? Why did I join this club? Why was my friend this person? Why did I get married? I think we need indeed remind us of why. Or else it’s tough to finish what we started.
這是一個記憶問題。我想那很重要。但我在談論一個更深層次的問題，而且更為重要，那就是為什么？在某一個時期，我們做某事會有一個理由。對于長期項目，我們需要提醒自己原因。為什么我開始學習一種語言？為什么我要結婚？我想我們需要確實提醒自己為什么。否則很難完成我們所開始的。
We stop starting. We quit the club. We end our friendships. Our marriages get damaged. There’s nothing wrong with asking why. In fact, sometimes I think it can be very healthy and helpful to appreciate what you have and what we are doing
我們停止開始。我們退出俱樂部。我們結束我們的友誼。我們的婚姻出現裂痕。問為什么沒什么問題。事實上，我認為有時候它會很健康的幫助我們珍惜所擁有的及正在做的事情。
