Magnum opus is a latin term that is defined as someone’s greatest life achievement. It is the highest intersection of talent, skill and hard work, when someone reaches their maximum potential at the exact right time in the exact right place.
"Magnum opus"是一个拉丁词,意思是某人一生中最伟大的成就。这是天赋、技能和努力工作的完美交集,还需要天时地利人和。
For Michelangelo it was painting the Sistine Chapel, for Einstein it was the theory of relativity, for Lincoln Park it was Hybrid Theory, for JK Rowling it's Harry Potter, for Leo Messi it's a record-breaking season. Whatever the medium, your magnum opus is your life's greatest work and it will be your legacy long after you are gone.
对米开朗基罗来说,他的杰作是为西斯廷教堂作画;对爱因斯坦来说,是相对论;对林肯公园来说,是<Hybrid Theory>专辑;对JK罗琳来说,是《哈利波特》;对梅西来说,这是一个破纪录的赛季。无论是怎样的表现形式,你的杰作是你一生中最伟大的作品,即使你离开这个世界很久以后,它仍然是你的遗产。
Sadly not many people get to achieve their magnum opus or even make anattempt. Most people spend the vast majority of their lives in a career that falls short of inspiration. Two-thirds of employees say they are genuinely dissatisfied with their jobs, and one-fifth admit they actively hate their career.
可悲的是,没有多少人能够完成他们的杰作,再努力也没有用。大多数人一生中的大部分时间,都在缺乏灵感的工作中度过。三分之二的员工表示,他们对自己的工作真的不满意,五分之一的员工直接承认,他们对自己的职业充满仇恨。
