你現(xiàn)在的點滴行動正在構建你的未來

最下面這段中英文是網(wǎng)課上老師要求學習的成長課視頻內容,我反復看了很多遍,用語音輸入法練習口語,把內容輸出變成文字,并重新整理了原文我覺得不是很合適的字幕內容。

這段話的主要意思表達的是:你現(xiàn)在的點滴行動正在構建你的未來,所以想在未來得到什么,現(xiàn)在就要定好目標,每天進步一點點,不要太過情緒化,不要讓恐懼占據(jù)心靈而阻礙自己的腳步,以前發(fā)生過什么事不重要,重要的是你接下來打算怎么做?

You can't connect the dots? looking forward,you can only connect them looking backwards,so you have to trust that the dots somehow connect in your future.

或有有些人認為這是不實用的心靈雞湯,但據(jù)我自己的經(jīng)歷,我知道這是真實有用的概括,確實,眼下的點滴行動并不能讓人馬上看到未來,但通過回顧卻會發(fā)現(xiàn)點滴的行動在構建你的未來。

2012年我開始有記錄地、持續(xù)地閱讀和寫作,因為以前的基礎太差,2012、2013、2014年這三年都感覺不到明顯的進步,身邊也有一些朋友說讀書無用,現(xiàn)在很少看讀文章等等,讓我多做一些實際的事情,多出去走走,我自己半信半疑,但實在找不到更好的方法,依然堅持閱讀和寫作。

經(jīng)歷過一段充滿艱難與懷疑的積累之后,2015年我開始感覺到自己明顯的提升,因為詞匯量和見識的增加,談吐變得豐富起來,不再那么害怕與人相處和交流,對事物的觀察和思考能力也在變強,寫過的書評出現(xiàn)了排在第一的記錄,后來開通了微信公眾賬號,有些讀者會偶爾給些金錢的贊賞,有些朋友開始向我咨詢他們的人生困惑。

目前我對文字的把控能力,對學習和閱讀材料的選擇,對某些事情的見解和做法已經(jīng)優(yōu)于身邊很多的朋友,得益于這些年的點滴行動和積累,也還需要未來的繼續(xù)積累。

這周豆瓣上有編輯發(fā)郵件給我約書評,深圳本地的一個學習群群主問我是否愿意加入文案組。這些機會曾經(jīng)是我夢寐以求的,也接過一些書評,但現(xiàn)在卻被我拒絕了,我的時間不夠用,我有其它更重要的事情要做。

我想要像提升閱讀和寫作能力一樣去提升英語能力,我已經(jīng)嚷著學習英語嚷了很多年了,但付出的時間和精力不多,一直拖延,現(xiàn)在還沒有明顯的進步。

我想要逐漸養(yǎng)成鍛煉和健身的好習慣,每天進行一點點的運動,打好身體的基礎,健康的身體是開展其它一切活動的前提。

我想要提升對數(shù)字的敏感度,了解簡單數(shù)字背后復雜的事件關聯(lián),學習金融理財知識,讓工作做得更好,財務狀況更進一步,生活變得更容易和開心。

還想去考駕照和提升攝影水平,時間和精力有限,這些要往后排一排。

我已經(jīng)有了一些實戰(zhàn)的經(jīng)驗:閱讀和寫作的積累已經(jīng)讓我有了明顯的收獲;對內在和外在的同時關注和投入,讓我的個人形象比以前有了明顯的提升;堅持12點前睡覺,7點前起床,讓我逐漸懂得平衡休息和投入行動的重要;幾乎不點外賣,好好照顧自己。

我知道這些實戰(zhàn)的經(jīng)驗還遠遠不夠,有時候還是會懈怠,有時候還是會情緒化,把實現(xiàn)夢想的行動一再推遲,一周、三個月、半年等等。

這一段帶有總結性的話剛好可以用來做我的警醒,讓我更清楚地明白現(xiàn)在的點滴行動正在構建我的未來,我會面臨困難和挑戰(zhàn),但不要因此而停止,未來會看到答案。
