“死于25岁，葬于75岁”，为啥？

你好，欢迎你的到来。我是凤超，你身边的高效人生教练，学好时间管理和精力管理，过超然人生！

Unfortunately, most of us do not pursue the hero’s path. The simple, almost embarrassing reality is that we feel too busy to search for meaning. Who has the time and the energy to actively pursue a deeper purpose? Instead, like Roger., many of us sleepwalk through our lives, operating on automatic pilot most of the time. We meet our obligations but rarely question whether we could be reaching for something more. When we first asked Roger to describe what gave his life meaning, he hemmed and hawed and finally resorted to generalities and platitudes. “Taking care of my family,” he said, and “being successful in my work.” The truth, Roger acknowledged, was that he simply - didn’t feel any passion about anything.

不幸的是，很多人都未追求英雄之旅。原因简单而又难堪：我们太忙了，没有时间追寻生命的意义！谁时间和精力去挖掘生命的意义呢？相反，很多人像罗杰一样，过着梦游般的生活，大多数时间都是自动驾驶模式。我们会做好自己的义务，但很少去探究是否可以达到更高的意义。当我们第一次让罗杰描述生活的意义时，他支支吾吾好久，最终只能求助于万能答案。“照顾家人，事业成功。”罗杰自己也承认，事实上他对任何事情都没有激情。

我的思考My Thinking

我们应该踏上自己的英雄之旅，但残酷的事实大部分人没有意识到这一点。富兰克林说，“死于25岁，葬于75岁。”，自己的人生也会是这样的吗？罗曼罗兰也说过，“大部分人在二三十岁上就死去了，因为过了这个年龄，他们只是自己的影子，此后的其余生只是在模仿自己中度过，日复一日，更机械、更装腔作势地重复他们在有生之年的所作所为、所思所想、所爱所恨。”

We should start our Hero's Path, however the crucial reality is that most people don't realize this. As Franklin said, "Some people die at 25 and aren't buried until 75.”How about my life? Romain Rolland also said, "Most people die in their 20s and 30s, because after that age they are only a shadow of themselves, and the rest of their lives are spent in imitation of themselves, day after day, more mechanically, more pretending to repeat what they have done, thought, loved and hated in their lifetimes".

他们提到的“死”并不是肉体上离开这个世界，而是没有目标、没有梦想、没有激情的活着。对我而言，一个停止成长和学习的人基本上就是“死人”了。我们精力管理高能践行营的很多伙伴的一个标签是“终生学习者”，其实这就跟书中罗杰用笼统的词语“照顾家人，事业成功”差不多，非常万能而模糊的描述！借此机会我把自己的标签更新了一下，其中的2个分别为精力管理讲师和高效人生教练，这样会清晰很多，让自己更具有目标感和使命感，在自己的英雄之旅也会走得更远！

The "death" here doesn't mean the physical departure of this world, but living without purposes, dreams, passion. In my words, one is basically dead when he stops growth and learning. In our Energy Management Just Do It camp, many fellows mark themselves as “lifelong learners", which is similar to Roger's statement, “Taking care of my family,” or “being successful in my work.” which is too general and works for everyone. I take the opportunity to update my markers and two of them are "Energy Management Instructor" & “Effective Life Coach”，which born from clear purpose and mission, which is the driving force going further on my Hero's journey.
