It's a mountain of a dream and a mile-high climb to the top. And what it took me a long time to discover is that I didn't like to climb much. I just liked to imagine the top.
梦想像山一样高,要爬很久才能到顶。很久之后,我才发现,我不喜欢攀登的过程,我只喜欢顶端的风景。
Our culture would tell me that I've somehow failed myself, that I'm a quitter or a loser. Self-help would say that I either wasn't courageous enough, determined enough or I didn't believe in myself enough. The entrepreneurial start-up crowd would tell me that I chickened out on my dream and gave in to my conventional social conditioning. I'd be told to do affirmations or join a mastermind group or manifest or something.
社会文化会告诉我,我失败了,我半途而废,我是个失败者。自助者会告诉我,我不够勇敢,不够坚定,或者我不够自信。创业圈的人会告诉我,在梦想面前,我临阵脱逃,我向社会传统屈服了。人们会告诉我,要肯定自己,加入聪明人的队伍,证明自己。
But the truth is far less interesting than that. I thought I wanted something, but it turns out I didn't. End of story. I wanted the reward and not the struggle. I wanted the result and not the process. I was in love not with the fight but only the victory. And life doesn't work that way.
然而,事实可没那么有趣。我以为自己想拥有某个东西,但是,事实上,我并不想拥有它,就这样。我想要回报,却不想要努力。我想要结果,但不想要过程。我只对胜利感兴趣,却对奋斗过程不感兴趣。然而,人生并不是这样的。
