英語(yǔ)名句
During the first presidential campaign Michelle Obama was worried her husband's schedule allowed him "no time to think." You hear the same from business executives who traverse impossibly packed days.在第一次總統(tǒng)競(jìng)選過(guò)程中,米歇爾擔(dān)心她丈夫日程排得太緊而導(dǎo)致“沒(méi)有時(shí)間思考”。你也會(huì)從那些日理萬(wàn)機(jī)的公司高管口中聽(tīng)到這種話。
But how many people budget serious thinking time on their calendar? Few. After all, what would you actually do during time set aside to just "think"? Sit in a chair, stare straight ahead, and ponder the world?但是會(huì)有多少人在他們的日程表上預(yù)留出思考的時(shí)間呢?很少。畢竟,要是你單獨(dú)劃出一塊時(shí)間來(lái)“思考”的話,你到底具體要做些什么呢?坐在椅子上,對(duì)著眼前發(fā)呆,然后沉思宇宙人生?
Indeed, it's not a challenge you confront head-on. As Alain de Botton says, "The mind may be reluctant to think properly when thinking is all it is supposed to do; the task can be as paralyzing as having to tell a joke or mimic an accent on demand."事實(shí)上,這并不是你面對(duì)的一項(xiàng)挑戰(zhàn)。正如阿蘭·德·波頓所言:“當(dāng)大腦被迫要去思考的時(shí)候,它反而會(huì)抗拒;這項(xiàng)任務(wù)就好比被要求講個(gè)笑話或者模仿一種口音一樣令人陷入僵局!
If you want to do more proactive, deep thinking, you want to obliquely engage in two kinds of activities.你要是希望作一些更積極主動(dòng)、更深刻的思考,你無(wú)論如何要先開(kāi)始進(jìn)行以下兩類活動(dòng)。
Directed Thinking Activities定向思維活動(dòng)
Write. Famed author Joan Didion says, "I don't know what I think until I try to write it down." Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos preaches the value of writing long form prose to clarify thinking. Unless you're a professional writer, writing is not always about the written output; it's about the thinking that happens as you attempt to communicate. Do not assume you have to share your writing with others for it to be time well spent.寫(xiě)作。著名作家瓊·狄迪昂說(shuō):“我不知道自己在想什么,直到我試著把它寫(xiě)下來(lái)!眮嗰R遜的CEO杰夫·貝索斯大力鼓吹通過(guò)寫(xiě)長(zhǎng)篇散文來(lái)理清思想的價(jià)值。除非你是一位職業(yè)作家,寫(xiě)作的.最終產(chǎn)品并不重要;重要的是當(dāng)你試著去交流時(shí)所產(chǎn)生的思考。不要預(yù)設(shè)你要和別人分享你寫(xiě)的東西,只要想著這段時(shí)間是過(guò)得很值得的。
Read a book. Don't read an executive summary or two-page cheat sheet. Read a full book. It's not about the content of what you're reading -- in most business books, there's not much new anyways -- it's about the quiet time you're spending by yourself. Unless you're a professional book reviewer, reading is not about reading; it's about thinking. It's about hearing yourself think.讀書(shū)。別去讀行動(dòng)綱要或是兩頁(yè)紙的備忘單,讀一本完整的書(shū)。你讀的內(nèi)容并不重要——事實(shí)上在大部分經(jīng)濟(jì)管理類書(shū)籍里,沒(méi)多少新的東西!匾氖悄嵌文悛(dú)處的安靜時(shí)光。除非你是個(gè)職業(yè)書(shū)評(píng)家,讀書(shū)并不是為了讀書(shū)本身,而是為了思考,是為了聆聽(tīng)你自己的思考。
