比懒惰更可怕的,是看似努力。被问及梦想,每个孩子的眼睛都会格外明亮,因为他们对未来充满憧憬,他们相信各种励志故事、奇幻经历都会发生在自己身上。
然而,对大部分人来说,奇迹并没有发生。当然原因有很多,不过,我们也要反省一下,自己真的在为儿时的梦想坚持付出吗?有没有真正持续地去追求梦想呢?
不要轻易被自己的欺骗和感动~

Be in love with the process听力材料
Be in love with the process听力原文
For most of my adolescence and young adulthood, I fantasized about being a musician, a rock star, in particular. Any badass guitar song I heard, I would always close my eyes and envision myself up on stage playing it to the screams of the crowd, people absolutely losing their minds to my sweet finger-noodling.
从孩提时代到青年时代,大多数时候,我都梦想成为一个音乐家,尤其是一个摇滚明星。每当听到劲爆的吉他音乐,我就会闭上眼睛,想象自己就站在舞台上演奏,台下的观众不停尖叫,他们沉醉在我指尖的美妙旋律里。
This fantasy could keep me occupied for hours on end. The fantasizing continued up through college, even after I dropped out of music school and stopped playing seriously. But even then, it was never a question of if I’d ever be up playing in front of screaming crowds, but when.
这样的白日梦,我会做上好几个小时。这个梦想就这样陪伴着我,一直到了大学,甚至到了我从音乐学校辍学、并彻底放弃演奏音乐时,它都还在我心中。但是,即便在那时候,问题并不在于我“是否”能实现登台的梦想,而在于“何时”能实现。
I was biding my time before I could invest the proper amount of time and effort into getting out there and making it work. First, I needed to finish school. Then, I needed to make money. Then, I needed to find the time. Then, and then nothing.
为了投入充足的时间和努力来实现梦想,我努力地争取时间。首先,我要完成学业。接着,我需要挣钱。然后,我需要找到时间。然后,然后就没有然后了。
Despite fantasizing about this for over half of my life, the reality never came. And it took me a long time and a lot of negative experiences to finally figure out why. I didn’t actually want it.
尽管这个梦想陪伴了我大半辈子,但是它从来没有实现过。经过岁月的洗礼,人生的磨难,我才知道,为什么我的梦想没有实现。因为,我,并不是真的想要实现它。
I was in love with the result, the image of me on stage, people cheering, me rocking out, pouring my heart into what I’m playing. But I wasn’t in love with the process. And because of that, I failed at it. Repeatedly. Hell, I didn’t even try hard enough to fail at it. I hardly tried at all.
我很喜欢那个结果,自己站在舞台上,人们为我欢呼,我如痴如狂地演奏,全心全意投入音乐中。但是,我不喜欢逐梦的过程。因此,我失败了,屡战屡败。就算是结果是失败,我也没能认真争取过,我根本就没去尝试过。
