When you look back on yourself in the past – 10, 20, 30 or more years ago – it’s surprising to see how much you have changed over time. Your experiences, your friends, your family and your work have all shaped who you are right now. But where will you be in another few years? How will you have changed? Reflective writing in your journal is an excellent way to think about what you want out of the future.当你10年、20年或更多年后回顾过去时,你会吃惊地发现,随着时光的流逝,你也发生了很大的变化。你的经历、朋友、家庭和工作造就了现在的你。但是再过几年你会在哪里呢?你会如何变化呢?这样反思性的写作,会是思考未来你想要什么的一种好的方式。
You may have already written a letter to your younger self before, conveying all the wisdom and perspective you wish you had had at the time. Now consider the opposite end of the spectrum; what would you say if you wrote your future self a letter?你也许以前试过给过去的自己写信,向年轻时的自己传授一些人生的智慧和观点,你希望那时候的自己就能知道这些。现在我们换个角度看问题,如果让你给未来的自己写封信,你会写点什么?
Just imagine writing a letter to your future self 5 years from now, then opening it at that exact moment 5 years down the road to see how much of it resonated with you. It is a useful supplementary tool to be used in goal achievement, because when you write the letter to your future self, it helps crystallize exactly how you anticipate yourself to become at that specific moment down the road.
想象一下,给5年后的自己写一封信,当5年后你打开那封信时,你会产生多少共鸣。这是实现目标的一种有用的辅助工具,因为当你给未来的自己写信时,你会慢慢理清希望自己在人生旅途的那个特定时刻变成什么样子。
As you read the letter in the future, you can assess how many things match up (or not vs. your expectations in the past and think about why that’s the case. Often times, the goals we set and our goal achievement process are subjected to a lot of changes along the way, due to varying obstacles, unanticipated circumstances and changing priorities. The letter gives you a macro-view of your initial vision and lets you recognize how your current vision differs from the past.当你在未来读这封信时,你可以看看有多少事情是像你过去期望的那样,你也会思考为什么会这样。很多时候,我们设定目标在实现的过程中会受到沿途中各种因素的影响,因为会遇到各种各样的困难、各种意外情况并需要不断调整优先级。这封信能让你从宏观的角度上去看自己最初的愿景,让你意识到自己现在的想法和过去相比有多么不同。
When you open the letter in the future, you as your future self gets to compare how you used to be in the past and compare with how you are currently. This lets you see in totality how much things have changed since then – and this can be a really intriguing experience. It’s interesting to just see how much you have grown/changed since you wrote the letter.当你以后看信时,你会把过去的自己和现在的.自己进行比较。这会让你看清从写信时起你发生了哪些变化,这种体验是非常有趣的。光看看从你写信开始发生了哪些变化就很有趣了。
What To Write About写什么内容好呢?
Look at today’s date. Now imagine you writing to yourself, exactly X years from now. What do you want to say to your future self?看看今天的日期。现在想象一下你在给X年后的自己写信。你想对未来的自己说些什么呢?
How do you want your future self to be like 1 year in the future?你想让自己1年后变成什么样子呢?
What are the different dreams and goals you would want to be realized by then?到那时你想实现的梦想和目标会有哪些不同呢?
What is your desired status of the areas of your life wheel at that time?那时你想要的人生轨迹和状态会是什么样的呢?
Career/Business/Studies? Finances? Family? Friends? Love? Health? Spirituality? Recreation? Personal growth? Contribution?职业/生意/学习?财政?家庭?朋友?爱情?健康?心灵?娱乐?个人成长?成就?
Once you’re done, sign off your name with today’s date. Safe keep your letter. Put the papers in an envelope. Seal it.写完后,别忘了在名字下面写上今天的日期。妥善保管你的信件,把信纸放在信封里,封上信封。
Set in your calendar to open your letter 1 year from now. Put this envelope in a safe place where no one can access to it.在日历上注明,1年后的今天你要打开这封信。把这封信放在安全的地方,确保别人看不到。
Live your life like you’ve never lived it before in the next 1 year. Open the letter 1 year later and relish in nostalgia, love and joy as you read the letter from yourself 1 year ago.在接下来的1年里,好好生活,用崭新的方式过生活。一年后打开信封,在怀旧却又爱意满满的欢乐气氛中享受读信的乐趣。
Write Your Letter To Your Future Self给未来的自己写封信
Take out a pen and paper right now and start writing your letter to your future self. Identify a time period to write to, imagine how you will be like during that time period, then start writing. Think about the type of person you will be, your place in life, what you would have accomplished then, the kind of thoughts and feelings you will experience, and so on.现在就拿出笔和纸,开始给未来的自己写封信吧。找个合适的时间,想象你在那段时间内会是什么样子,然后开始写信。想一想你想成为哪种人,你在生活中的位置、那时你的成就、你会有什么样的想法和感觉,诸如此类的内容。
At the end of the letter, seal it in an envelope, write the date to open it on the cover and put it in a safe storage space. Fix the date to open this letter in your personal calendar. When you open this sometime in the near future, you might gain additional insights about yourself and your journey in the past few years that you were oblivious to.写完信,把它装到信封里,在信封的封面上写上日期,把它妥善保管起来。在自己的日历中标记一下打开这封信的日期。当你以后打开信时,你可能会更好的洞察自己以及自己过去的生命历程。
“你这只懒虫,看你睡到什么时候了?”“哎,这一觉睡得可真久呀!”他们围着我又说又笑。我一看日历,心中一惊,今天是20XX年的3月28日了!而且还是我十岁的生日。怎么回事?原来我和伙伴们不小心呼吸了从太空飘散下来的花粉,竟都沉睡了七十多年。我从床上蹦起来,决定和小伙伴们出去遛一遛。
我从小泥猪里拿出零花钱,当然这还是半个多世纪以前的呢。我想,时过境迁,这些钱成了古币,不知道还能不能流通呢。我们来到古董店。古董店的老板看见我们递过来的钱,惊得直吐舌头:“你们这些钱是从哪儿来的`呀!现在,世界上仅存几张呀!”于是,我们把这些钱换给了这位老板,得到了一大笔钱。
我们买了一台车。这台车比卡丁车大一点,不仅操作便捷,而且安全性能极好,是专为小孩子设计的。我们坐上车,兴冲冲地来到一家宠物店。只见里面好是热闹,传说中的飞马、天龙、凤凰等等都有。我们挑了一匹飞马,一条天龙。接着又来到了武器店,买了一些古代打仗用的剑、盾、长矛之类的东西。
到中午了,我们的肚子都唱起了“空城计”。我和伙伴们来到一家蛋糕店,因为今天是我的生日呀。这里有最新发明的楼层蛋糕,设计人员把我们引到电脑前,让我们自己设计蛋糕的楼层和内部结构。我们一不做,二不休,设计出了一座蛋糕别墅。蛋糕店的人连忙把我们的设计存盘,说我们的设计是最有创意的,他们将会做出一个标志性的蛋糕,以展示他们店最高的水平。并且,我们的蛋糕别墅完全免费!以表示对我们创意的嘉奖和谢意。“哦!”我和伙伴们欢呼起来,把头上的帽子摘了丢来抛去。
我和伙伴们成了十足的“蛋糕寄生虫”,在蛋糕别墅里边吃边玩,还觉得不过瘾,我们又搬来了一台电脑,这台电脑是多维数码全息电脑。我们兴致勃勃地进入游戏区,用手点了一下按钮,忽然什么也看不见了,我们来到了游戏区里。一切都和真的一样,一切就像梦幻一样神奇。我们成了身穿铠甲的勇士,和一群稀奇古怪的外星人搏斗。可不一会儿,他们就把我们这些全没的外行抛了出去。我们只好灰溜溜地滚出电脑。哎,真是不幸。
正沮丧间,忽然听说有一群不明来历的人到了地球,向我们地球人挑战。这还得了!我和伙伴们二话不说,就拿着长矛、盾牌、宝剑,骑着飞马、飞龙去了。那些人是驾着最新的宇宙交通工具来的,不过都戴着面具,看不清模样,个头和我们差不多。他们看见我们的武器都哈哈大笑。他们的头儿说:“咱们先礼后兵,如果我们出的题你们做出来了,我们就不发起战争,如果做不出——”他把手臂举起来,只见上面全是机关,看来藏着非常厉害的武器。我气冲斗牛,说:“来吧!看你们有什么高招!”
那个头儿说:“一个两位数,十位数是个位的两倍,将个位与十位的数字调换,得到新的两位数,这两个两位数的和为132,求这个两位数。”我仰头大笑:“太简单啦,得84!”那些人凑在一块儿商量起来,大概是在验算吧。我心里又是一阵暗笑。
过了一会儿,他们说:“好,算你有种,再出一题。”那个头儿把手一挥,只见地上出现了五个农夫,有四个农夫脸上分别有“大、小、无、食”四个字。他指着最后那个农夫说:“你给这个农夫画张脸吧。”我还没说话,一个最会画画的小伙伴就冒冒失失地跑上去,给这个农夫画起了眼睛……我急坏了,连忙跑上前,抢过笔,在这个农夫脸上写了一个大大的“中”字。那个头儿忙问为什么,我说:“这还不简单吗?把这五个农夫想成五个手指,不就差个‘中’字吗?”那个头儿大叫佩服,伙伴们都为我鼓掌。
那个头儿一定要我和他交朋友。原来,他们是外星上的小朋友,因为老师要他们学习地球人的课程,他们做不出,没办法才到我们地球上来讨教的。我笑着拍拍他的肩,语重心长地说:“好样的,以后多动动脑子,少来点武力。有什么难题,尽管再来找我吧!”
望着他们远去的身影,我的豪情还在心中激荡。此时天色渐晚,夕阳西照,我觉得20XX年的地球好美,好美……
the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, which is caused by the rotation of the earth as you all know. but have you ever thought of the effect of the earths rotation on man and can you imagine what would happen if the earth stopped rotating?
the radius of the earth is about 6,370 kilometres. it takes the earth 24 hours to rotate once. objects on the earths equator move with the earth at a speed of 460 metres per second, and the air close to the earths surface turns at the same speed. if the earth stopped rotating suddenly, the air would keep flowing eastward at a speed of 460 metres per second. the wind would be fourteen times as powerful as a hurricane. at the same time sea water would rush eastward at a speed of several hundred metres per second, which might do damages much greater than a seaquake would do. obviously, men could hardly stand such a catastrophe.
even if such a catastrophe would not happen, there would be a great temperature difference on the two hemispheres of the earth, and the four seasons of the year would no longer occur because a day and a night would be as long as a whole year instead of 24 hours. all this would greatly affect the life of human beings, imals and plants and that would cause worse results than anything imaginable.
曾经听说过一个故事。说是非洲曾经有一个被外面人称之为“马拉松”的部落,这个落特别善于打猎,常常赤脚与野兽奔走,狩猎的方式比较原始,就是追赶羚羊野牛之类的动物,常常几十公里下来,直到把野兽累死为止。就这样,大家练得一副好脚板,几乎人人都有一副好身手。终于有一天有人发现了这点,去找他们的酋长说,希望他们能够派人参加四年一次的奥运会马拉松赛,肯定有希望拿几个奖牌回来。交谈之后,酋长终于“明白了”,是想要他派几个最会跑的人去一个地方跑。酋长因此就问:“那里有许多羚羊吗?”来人说:“没有。”“那兔子呢?”酋长又追问。来人说:“也没有。”酋长听完断然拒绝,无论来人怎样申辩,也不再听他“胡说八道”了。因为他们的传统就是在没有猎物可追的情况下,从来不去空跑。这个马拉松族的\'观念显然是那些抓来可以吃的动物才算财富,至于什么奥运会金牌之类的东西,在这里还形成不了财富的观念。他们也许不知道,奥运会金牌在国际市场上可以换到多少牛肉、羊肉,那一趟“空跑”下来,可以得到多少财富。所以,财富的概念是不断发展着的,而且是五花八门的。比如小到金银财宝文物字画这些有货币价值的珍稀之物,大到普天之下的王土与王臣,江山社稷,都被视为财富。但是人们常常对于那些无形资产、无形财富却视而不见。
不幸的是,中国人自古就是重视有形财富的多,而重视无形财富的少,在一定程度上说就如那个非洲“马拉松”族一样短见。甚至在很长时间里都没有无形财富的概念。比如中国人也有百年老字号的老店,但是,很少有人能够把这当成一个品牌来经营,更没有什么知识产权与发明专利的概念。祖传秘方当然也是有的,但是,也不会想到申请专利,利用知识产权实行规模化经营。
今天在全球化时代,某些中国人的愚蠢又一次误解了财富。他们不惜污染自己的环境,毁弃自己的青山绿水,不惜为建立“世界工厂”做出最大的牺牲,从而向美国换得那些他们制造出来的花花绿绿的纸;然后这些纸在美国这也不能够买,那也不能够买,只能够买他们的国债,在一些中国人的思想观念里,这些纸就是国力,就是财富。当一个社会常识被践踏的时候,就会做被人卖了还替人数钱的蠢事。要重新审视财富与国力,收藏别人印刷出来的纸那不是财富,真正的财富就是你的国民的幸福指数与智慧程度,这才是真的软实力。
世界杯来了,我只想对我们国家的球队说几句话,就是——加油,加油再加油!我告诉你们,现在有许多国家都瞧不起我们国家,尤其是巴西,还说我们是什么送分童子!所以,你们一定,一定要打赢!!
