Life Insight # 1: How to Be Better Version of Me

(如何成為更棒版本的自己)



■ 1A: Being kind is not merely about being polite. (友善不僅僅是表現得有禮貌。)

  • True kindness means actively reducing the pain of others, even when you are vulnerable or it’s inconvenient. It's important not only to practice kindness daily but also to recognize and surround yourself with genuinely kind people. Moreover, stay away from those who may appear caring at first but push you away or abandon you during your times of pain.

  • 真正的善意意味著積極減輕他人的痛苦，即使在你自己處於脆弱狀態或非常不方便的時候也是如此。不僅每天需要實踐善意，還要識別並讓自己更多地被真正善良的人所包圍。同時更要遠離帶著乍看是關心的笑容，但會在你痛苦時候遠離或推你一把的假心人士。



■ 1B: Have the courage to focus solely on priorities that enable you to achieve your desired lifestyle. (要有勇氣來專注於能讓你實現理想生活方式的重要事項)

  • Possess the bravery to acknowledge past traumas and redefine their meaning, allowing you to focus on your desired lifestyle and break free from the belief that the past dictates the future.

  • 擁有承認過去創傷並重新賦予這些經驗不同意義的勇氣，讓你能專注於你渴望的生活方式，打破過去決定未來的觀念，從而獲得自由。

■ 1C: It's natural to feel frustrated or discontented when things don’t go as planned, as life can indeed be challenging. However, (當事情不如預期進行時感到沮喪或不滿是很自然的，因為生活的確充滿挑戰。然而，)

  • it's not acceptable to use anger or criticism of others as a cover to force or justify one's inability to break through or achieve goals. This behavior is not an act of kindness but rather a sign of weakness and selfishness, stemming from a sense of disrespect and frustration when things don’t go one’s way. So, if you are busy venting your feelings and hurting others, then you are far from committed to achieving your desired lifestyle and being a kind person.

  • 利用對他人的憤怒或批評來掩蓋或辯解自己未能突破或達成目標的無能是不可接受的。這種行為不是善舉，而是弱點和自私的表現，源於當事情不按自己的方式進行時感到不被尊重和挫折。因此，如果你忙於發洩情緒並傷害他人，那麼你距離實現理想的生活方式和成為一個善良的人還很遠。




■ 1D: Focus is not merely concentrating on priorities, (專注不僅是集中精力在優先事項上，)

  • but also knowing exactly what to eliminate and how to stay away from temptation.

  • 還包括準確知道要排除什麼以及如何遠離誘惑。




■ 1E: Your time is limited, so don't wasted living someone else's life (你的時間是有限的，請不要浪費活在別人的陰影) by Steve Job <co-founder Apple>

  • Don't be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.

  • 不要被教條困住，活在別人思考的結果裡。 不要讓他人建議的雜音壓過自己的心聲。最重要的，有勇氣去追隨自己內心與直覺。


  Reference:




■ 1F: Prioritizing your own well-being by loving and caring for yourself, enabling you to support and empower others to achieve their potential, is an act of responsible self-care, not selfishness. (通過愛護和照顧自己來優先考慮自己的健康，使你能夠支持和賦予他人力量以實現他們的潛能，這是負責任的自我照顧，而不是自私)

  • Conversely, manipulating and deceiving others for personal gain, ensuring you are the only beneficiary, epitomizes true selfishness

  • 相反地，為了個人利益操縱和欺騙他人，確保自己是唯一的受益者，這正是真正的自私行為。





■ 1G: Be Accountable is about being 100% responsible and have 0% excuses (當則是要100%的負責即0%藉口) by John Izzo

  • not to criticize, not to blame, and not to complain.

  • 同時不批評、不推責及不抱怨。


 Reference:




■ 1H: Stop complaining the world is not fair (不再抱怨世界的不公平)

  • Because one will start to feel the kindness of the world, only when one becomes stronger.

  • 因為只有把自己變強，才會開始感到社會的溫柔。

Life Insight # 2: How to Succeed

(如何成功)


■ 2A: Success is by-product of progress with momentum and do not mix up progress with movement. (成功是帶有節奏感的進展的副產品，不要將進展與動靜混為一談) by Simon Sinek

  • Because both progress and momentum can be scientifically measured and then evaluated for success or value, one can quickly determine whether the strategy and plan in place are working and should continue or be stopped.

  • 因為進度和動力都可以用科學方法來量測，並進一步評估其成功或價值，人們可以迅速判斷現行的策略和計劃是否有效，以及應該繼續執行還是停止。

■ 2B: Passion may not lead to success, (熱情不見得會帶來成功) by Ben Horowitz

  • But successful people are passionate. Therefore, one should focus on what he/she can contribute first.

  • 但成功的人都充滿熱情。因此，每個人應該先專注於自己能夠做出的貢獻。


Reference: 



■ 2C: Not giving up is one of the keys to success, (不放棄是成功的關鍵之一)

  • But there is a difference between not giving up in terms of being persistent and being stubborn. Being persistent yields results, and being stubborn prevents progress with momentum. Therefore, in the fine line of not giving up, choose to be persistent, not stubborn.

  • 但在堅持與固執之間，不放棄確有差異。堅持能帶來成果，而固執則會阻礙充滿動力的進展。所以在不放棄的決策上，我們應該選擇堅持，而不是固執。
