如果你还没有找到真正的激情...（英语翻译+读后感）

If you think you haven’t found your passion...

如果你还没有找到你的激情...

By Derek Sivers

A few times, I’ve been asked a question like,

“But what if I haven’t found my true passion?”

有好几次，我被问到同一个问题，

“如果我还没有找到真正的激情呢？”

take time to do what makes your soul happy.花时间去做那些让你灵魂快乐的事情

It’s dangerous to think in terms of “passion” and “purpose” because they sound like such huge overwhelming things.

If you think love needs to look like’Romeo and Juliet’, you’ll overlook a great relationship that grows slowly.

用“激情”和“目标”的思维方式思考问题是危险的，

因为它们听起来压力山大；

如果你觉得爱情应该像“罗密欧与朱丽叶”那样，

那么你可能会失去一段成长缓慢的伟大的爱情。

when you're passionate,you don't notice the hours.当你充满激情的时候，你不会忘记时间。

If you think you haven’t found your passion yet,you’re probably expecting it to be overwhelming.

Instead, just notice what excites you and what scares you on a small moment-to-moment level.

If you find yourself diving into a book about programming and playing around with it for hours, go for it! Dive in deeper. Maybe that’s your new calling.

如果你还没有找到你的激情所在，

你可能一直期待的是压倒性的事情；

相反，其实，你只需要去注意那些小瞬间时的感受，什么让你兴奋，什么让你害怕。

如果你发现自己深陷一本编程书籍，并且在其中情不自禁的玩了数小时；

勇敢点儿！继续深入下去。可能那就是你新的使命。

Passion is when you put more energy into something than is required to do it,it is more than just enthusiasm or excitement,passion is ambition that is materialized into action to put as much heart, mind, body and soul into something as is humanly possible.激情是把你比所需更多的精力投入到某件事情上。激情并不仅仅是热情或兴奋，激情是可以在力所能及的范围里具体投入更多身心，灵魂和思考的野心。

If you keep thinking about doing something big, and you find the idea terrifies but intrigues you, it’s probably a worthy endeavour for you.

You grow by doing what excites you and what scares you.

For me, my computer was just a curiosity: that little hobby that kept me up until 2 am every night, programming and experimenting.it just grew from there.

如果你一直想做一些大的事情，这个想法让你觉得可怕，

但却让你充满好奇心，那么这件事情值得你去尝试。

你会从令你兴奋且害怕的事情中成长起来，

对我来说，我的电脑就是我的好奇心；

就是这样一个小小的爱好，我可以每晚编程，做实验到凌晨2点，

而在此过程中，我的爱好也逐渐成长起来。

people are prettiest when they talk about something they really love with passion in their loves.当人们谈论所爱的事物，眼中充满激情的时候，是最美的

读后感：

一个人可以是从让它兴奋和害怕的事情中成长起来。

仔细想想，成长的过程中，我有过好几次害怕和兴奋的经历，但却从未继续坚持尝试。

其实，现在想来，如果真的去做了，以我当时的心智，很可能依然半途而废，

如今，我站在十几年的时光里看之前的自己，我只想对未来的自己说，

少犯错，少走弯路，认准方向，坚持下去。

Persons can grow by doing what excites them and what scares them.

Think carefully, when I grow up, I have been scared and excited several times, but never keep trying. In fact, now I think, if I really do it with my mind at that time, it is likely that I will still give up halfway.

Now, I stand after more than ten years looking myself before, I just want to say to myself in the future, make fewer mistakes, fewer detours, hold on to directions.

不要去问世界需要什么，去问是什么可以让你活着；然后，去做吧，世界需要那些活着的人
