新概念閱讀：理想和現(xiàn)實(shí)之間

　　Stop making big decisions and focus on closing the gap with where you want to be.

　　不再做不切實(shí)際的決定，而是把精力集中于如何縮小夢(mèng)想與現(xiàn)實(shí)的差距。

　　A successful life is not made of easy, clean cut choices.

　　成功的生活不是簡(jiǎn)單利落的做幾個(gè)選擇就能獲得。

　　Have you ever seen a guy desperately enamoured with a girl, but he can't bear to talk to her? Or someone who wants to get fit, but they won't step in a gym? How about someone who wants better career options but stays exactly where they are?

　　你有見過男孩深深迷戀著女孩，卻不敢跟她說話嗎?或者有些人想減肥，卻沒有進(jìn)過健身房?那有沒有見過一些人希望有更好的職業(yè)選擇，卻停在當(dāng)下、固步自封嗎?

　　Start take lots of continuous small steps. Take something you love doing - or if you're not sure what that is, something you'd like to try. And move towards it now.

　　開始通過小步驟不斷積累。著手做一些你喜歡的事——如果你不確定是什么，做你想嘗試的事。從現(xiàn)在開始向目標(biāo)前進(jìn)。

　　You don't have to choose between a well-paid job you don't like and the unknown. You have countless other options:

　　你不必在不了解的事和高薪工作之間做選擇。你還有很多其他選擇：

　　1. Start up a small business in your evenings

　　1. 利用晚上時(shí)間開展新業(yè)務(wù)

　　2. Ask your boss what you could do for them to get promoted

　　2. 詢問老板要做什么可以獲得晉升

　　3. Teach yourself a new skill that interests you

　　3. 自學(xué)你感興趣的技能

　　4. Write a blog or a book

　　4. 寫博客或書

　　Some steps will lead to greater things. But as long as you sit feeling paralysed, I can assure you nothing will change at all.

　　不積跬步無以成千里。但只要你覺得自己做不好，我可以向你保證任何事都不會(huì)發(fā)生變化。

　　Do not, and I shall repeat for emphasis, do not defer this until a "better time". If you make a habit of that, you'll wake up one idle Monday and wonder how you let your whole life fly away.

　　千萬不要，我要重復(fù)強(qiáng)調(diào)下，千萬不要拖延以等待“更好的時(shí)機(jī)”。如果你把拖延變成習(xí)慣，你將在某個(gè)周一慵懶的醒來，然后想你如何讓一生都飛速流逝。
