　　Life is full of small questions: What will I wear to my meeting? What’s for lunch? Subway orcab?

　　Small questions are important as they facilitate the day to day running of our lives. Theproblem is, most people do not pause to ask themselves the big questions. The real questions.The questions that will change our lives for the better. Often we do not take a moment andthink about what really matters to us and what our contribution to the world is. Our wise oldfriend Socrates said "an unexamined life is not worth living."

　　生活里瑣碎的問(wèn)題源源不絕：穿什么去開(kāi)會(huì)?午飯吃什么?乘地鐵還是打車?

　　瑣碎的問(wèn)題很重要，因?yàn)樗鼈冏屛覀兊娜粘Ｉ钸\(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)流暢。問(wèn)題是大多數(shù)人不會(huì)停下腳步來(lái)問(wèn)問(wèn)自己一些重要的問(wèn)題、真正的問(wèn)題。那些可以讓我們的生活變得更好的問(wèn)題。我們經(jīng)常忘了抽出點(diǎn)時(shí)間來(lái)想想到底什么事情最重要，還有我們?yōu)檫@個(gè)世界做了些什么事情。著名的哲學(xué)家蘇格拉底曾經(jīng)說(shuō)過(guò)：“混混噩噩的生活不值得過(guò)。”

　　Here are five questions that Susie Moore(Life Coach, New York City) asks her coaching clients tohelp them examine their lives. Take a few minutes, a quiet spot and ask these of yourself(warning: the answers might surprise you!):

　　這兒有來(lái)自紐約的人生導(dǎo)師蘇茜·摩爾指導(dǎo)她的客戶時(shí)所問(wèn)的五個(gè)問(wèn)題，來(lái)幫助他們審閱自己的生活。到一個(gè)安靜的環(huán)境里花上幾分鐘問(wèn)問(wèn)自己這些問(wèn)題吧(提示：你可能會(huì)為自己的答案吃驚!)：

　　1. How happy am I overall, today, out of 10?

　　我今天有多開(kāi)心，10分能打幾分?

　　Take into account all areas of your life when you do this. Whatever your number is, be honestabout it with yourself. Then you can get real about what you can do to increase it.

　　回答這個(gè)問(wèn)題時(shí)，你要考慮到生活里的各個(gè)方面。不管你得了幾分，坦誠(chéng)面對(duì)吧。之后你就能清楚自己能做些什么來(lái)提高開(kāi)心指數(shù)。

　　2. What type of life do I want to lead?

　　我想要過(guò)什么樣的生活?

　　Think about your life 10 years from now. Are you satisfied with your life if it is to continueexactly as it currently is? Are you content with your relationships, work, health? Picture the ideallife you could be living. How is it different? Visualizing helps us understand what it is that wecan be doing differently now.

　　想想你10年之后的生活。如果那時(shí)你的生活和現(xiàn)在一模一樣，你會(huì)覺(jué)得滿意嗎?你對(duì)你的愛(ài)人、工作以及健康狀況滿意嗎?想象一下你理想中的生活狀態(tài)。和現(xiàn)在有什么不同?想象讓我們知道自己現(xiàn)在需要做出什么改變。

　　3. What does success look like to me?

　　我眼里的成功是什么?

　　For some people it is becoming an expert in their industry. For others it is taking one year off inevery five to seven to travel. For some it is raising a healthy and tight-knit family. Be clear onwhat it looks like to you and don't be swayed by others visions for themselves. Your life is yourpath to honor and actualize.

　　對(duì)有些人來(lái)說(shuō)，成功意味著變成他們所在領(lǐng)域的專家，有些人覺(jué)得成功是每隔5年至7年就給自己放一年的假來(lái)旅游，有些人眼里的成功就是維持健康團(tuán)結(jié)的家庭生活。明確自己眼里的成功，不要被別人的意見(jiàn)左右。生活就是實(shí)現(xiàn)自己眼里的榮耀。

　　4. What brings me joy?

　　什么事情會(huì)讓我快樂(lè)?

　　Is it writing, teaching, singing, volunteering, dancing? Whatever it is, make time for it!

　　是寫(xiě)作、教書(shū)、唱歌、當(dāng)志愿者還是跳舞?不管是什么，為這些事情留出時(shí)間!

　　5. What can I do in the next two weeks to bring more joy, passion and purpose to mylife?

　　在未來(lái)2周里，我能做些什么來(lái)給我的生活增添更多的歡樂(lè)、激情以及目標(biāo)?

　　This is the killer part right here. All of the above is important but it won't impact your life unlessyou take action. Start small. Write one blog. Take one dance class. Perhaps speak to a friend inEurope about a potential meet over the next few months. You know what it is that willgenerate excitement and happiness in your life. Don't put it off!

　　最重要的部分來(lái)了。上述問(wèn)題都很重要，但是只有你采取行動(dòng)，它們才能改變你的生活!從小事開(kāi)始吧。寫(xiě)一篇博客，參加一節(jié)舞蹈課，或者和你歐洲的朋友聊聊以后幾個(gè)月里有沒(méi)有可能見(jiàn)面。你知道做什么能夠給你的生活帶來(lái)刺激和快樂(lè)的。不要拖延!

　　The answers are within us. We have everything we need to create the lives we want. Gettingclear is the starting point. An old proverb says, "The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago.The second-best time is now." Get busy now sowing the seeds of the life you want to flourishover the coming years.

　　答案就在我們心中。我們完全有能力來(lái)創(chuàng)造自己想要的生活。明確方向是第一步。老話說(shuō)：“種一棵樹(shù)的最佳時(shí)機(jī)是20年前，再就是現(xiàn)在。” 現(xiàn)在就動(dòng)起來(lái)，為你將來(lái)茂盛的生活大樹(shù)播下種子。
