Increasing Confidence
增強(qiáng)信心
Robert Stuberg
羅伯特·斯圖伯格
The world is changing rapidly and most people are very anxious about it. In fact, I think it might even be stronger and more accurate to say that most people are downright fearful of what they see going on around them.
世界在飛速變化,許多人為此而憂心忡忡。事實(shí)上,我認(rèn)為可以更有力、更確切地說(shuō),大多數(shù)人對(duì)自己周圍發(fā)生的一切完全心存恐懼。
Technological change and innovation are completely altering many aspects of our lives and it doesn't stop there. Economic changes, social changes, scientific changes, political changes… the list is endless. However, the big question we all face is how are we going to respond to these changes?
技術(shù)科技進(jìn)步和創(chuàng)新使我們生活的方方面面發(fā)生了翻天覆地的變化,而且這種變化不會(huì)到此為止。這種變化同時(shí)也滲透到經(jīng)濟(jì)、社會(huì)、科技、政治等各個(gè)方面。然而,大家面臨的一個(gè)大問題就是:我們將如何應(yīng)對(duì)這些變化?
While the specific answers about what to do take time and thought to uncover, the best way to approach the future and all of the changes it will bring can be summed up in one word: Confidence.
雖然具體的答案需要花時(shí)間和心思才能得出,但通向未來(lái)的最佳途徑及其將會(huì)帶來(lái)的一切變化可以歸結(jié)為兩個(gè)字:信心。
Personal confidence is one of the greatest assets we all possess. Certainly some people seem to have much more of it than others but I believe that confidence is a skill that we can all develop. In some ways, it is undoubtedly the most important skill we can develop.
自信是我們所擁有的最寶貴的資本之一。當(dāng)然,這些人似乎比別人更為自信,但我認(rèn)為自信是一種人人都可以培養(yǎng)出來(lái)的技巧。就某些方面而言,它毋庸置疑是我們可以培養(yǎng)的最重要的技巧。
With confidence, all things are within the realm of possibility. Without confidence, even the smallest challenges seem insurmountable.
擁有信心,一切皆有可能。缺乏信心,技師是最微不足道的挑戰(zhàn),都會(huì)顯得難以逾越,無(wú)法克服。
What I find fascinating is that people with confidence always seem to end up on top. They seem to overcome the obstacles that stand in their way. It's as if problems and challenges run from the person who has confidence.
我發(fā)現(xiàn)令人為之著迷的是自信之人似乎以成功而告終。他們似乎能夠掃除一切“攔路虎”。問題和挑戰(zhàn)仿佛從自信者身上逃之夭夭。
I think what's so difficult for most people is the belief that confidence has to be based on having a specific solution at hand but that's just not true. What we all respect and admire is the person who can stand up against overwhelming difficulties and persevere without an answer.
我認(rèn)為對(duì)大多數(shù)人而言,最大的困難在于他們認(rèn)為信心必須建立在手頭擁有具體的解決方案的基礎(chǔ)之上,但是是恰恰并非如此。我們都敬佩和仰慕這樣的人,他們能夠悍然面對(duì)種種艱巨的困難,能夠不問結(jié)果而堅(jiān)持不懈。
Here's the secret that most people never get. Life's challenges are no match for the person with unstoppable confidence. While the problems or challenges might seem too big to be overcome, the person with confidence always finds a way to win regardless of the circumstances.
這就是大多數(shù)人無(wú)法獲得信心的秘密。生活中的種種挑戰(zhàn)在那些信心十足的人面前不堪一擊,無(wú)法抗衡。雖然這些問題或挑戰(zhàn)看起來(lái)似乎龐大得無(wú)法撼動(dòng),但無(wú)論環(huán)境如何,充滿自信的人總會(huì)找到獲勝的辦法。
Ultimately, life's challenges fun and hide from the person that maintains confidence.
生活的種種挑戰(zhàn)和難題最終會(huì)從一直保持自信的人身邊落荒而逃。
This is a hard lesson to learn. The problems of life seem so big and scary and we often think of ourselves as so small and fragile. But that's not the way it is. That's the illusion that most people buy into, but it's not the truth.
這是一段艱深難學(xué)的課程。生活的難題看起來(lái)似乎艱巨又嚇人,而我們經(jīng)常認(rèn)為自己渺小又脆弱,但事情不是這樣的。那不過是許多人買這種假象的賬,但事實(shí)并非如此。
The truth is that we are bigger than anything that can ever happen to us in life. We have the power and ability to overcome any obstacle in our path. And the most important tool we possess is personal confidence, believing in our ability to overcome the current challenge just like we have done so many times in the past.
事實(shí)上,我們比生活中任何可能會(huì)發(fā)生在我們身上的事情更強(qiáng)大。我們又力量和能力去克服路途上的一切障礙。而我們擁有的最重要的工具是自信心——相信我們可以克服目前的難題,就像我們以前無(wú)數(shù)次經(jīng)歷的一樣。
Whatever challenge is currently in your life, know that it's there to help you grow and expand. Use the problems you encounter to help you build your personal confidence. Remember, you wouldn't have the problem if you didn't have the power to overcome it. Expanding your personal confidence will allow you to take on whatever you need to in order to fulfill your personal mission.
無(wú)論目前擬生活中的難題是什么,都要知道自信正助你成長(zhǎng)和發(fā)展。利用遇到的問題幫助自己建立自信心。記住,如果你不具備解決問題的能力,你是不會(huì)遇到難題的。增強(qiáng)自信心將會(huì)使你運(yùn)用所需的一切去完成個(gè)人使命。
