I don' t know what it is about this time of year that makes me start reflecting over how I' ve spent my time on this whirling orb.
As I think back I realize how hard it is to view the world through the eyes of my childhood. As children every day is filled with awe and wonder. A child' s mind is still filled with the idea that anything and everything is possible. They haven' t begun building the mental walls yet. They haven' t learned to worry what others think.
Watch a child learning to walk and it' s amazing. No matter how many times they fall down, They hop back up because they instinctively know that eventually they' ll be able to walk. They don' t have to worry what others think. They have no need to put up a front. But somewhere along the line they learn to be practical. Their creativity becomes stifled over time, as the world teaches them to fit in. Eventually they don' t bounce back as fast when they fail. Having fun is no longer the goal. Learning and growing are now a chore. Goals are no longer lofty. Goals are now set within the confines of their more limited view of life.
It doesn' t have to be like that. You and I can tear down those walls that are closing in and start fresh. It' s time to bring back that sense of joy and wonder.
When you' re setting your goals for the New Year, think like a child. Expand your thinking. Set your goals as if anything is possible. Don' t worry about what "they" think. It' s your goal and you can achieve it. View the world through the wonder struck eyes of a child.
In the words of Napoleon Hill, "If you can conceive it, you can achieve it." I know you can do great things. Do you?
我不知道是什么,让我在每年的这个时候都反思自己是怎样在这个大循环中生存的。
当我回忆从前的时候,就会意识到,自己很难再用小时候的眼光来看待这个世界。因为孩提时的每一天都充满了敬畏和新奇。一切皆有可能的思想仍然充斥着孩子的头脑,他们还没有开始构筑精神的防护墙,还不懂得为他人的看法而感到烦恼。
