英语美文朗读 第595期 Dont waste it doing nothing

Imagine your life is perfect in every aspect. What would it look like?

 

想象一下，如果你的生活方方面面都很完美，那会是怎样的？

 

Unless you're willing to accept average or mediocrity, then this is one thing that you're going to have to do in order for you to have what you truly want.

只要你想得到你真正想要的东西，你就得想象完美的生活是什么样子，否则你就要接受平庸。

 

Keep going and never quit. It is hard being a high-performance person. I know. But is it rewarding and worth it? Yes, it is. So do what you have to do now.

保持前进，不要放弃。做一个表现出色的人，这很难，我能理解。这样做，值得吗？是的，值得。所以，现在就去做你该做的事。

 

Do not procrastinate. Do not quit. Do not push it to sometime later. There is never an easy time to make a hard decision. Do it now.

不要拖延，不要放弃，不要拖到以后再去做。做出艰难的决定，这绝非易事，所以现在就去行动吧。

 

In the military, you're told that time costs lives. In the cooperate world, you're told time costs money. I tell you time costs everything. Your dreams, your goals, your aspirations, they require your time.

在军队里，人们会告诉你，时间就是生命。在一个人与人之间相互合作的世界里，人们告诉你，时间就是金钱。我要告诉你，时间就是一切。你的梦想，你的目标，你的渴望，它们都需要你的时间。

 

Those times you spend brooding, saying why did this have to happen to me? The time you spend being overwhelmed and sorry for yourself. That time costs you everything.

你感到烦恼，你大声质疑为什么要面对这些，你感到无能为力，你自卑自怜，这些都会浪费你的宝贵时间。

 

Each moment you stay stagnant instead of doing the things you know you should be doing today so that you can be where you want to be tomorrow, you shift your goals by a few months or even years.

你止步不前，你不愿去为实现目标做努力，那么你本来几个月就可以实现的目标，要好几年才能实现。

 

Time costs everything, so don't waste it doing nothing. Use it to do what needs to be done, and don't quit at it. Spend your time doing what most people don't want to do that they know they have to do to be where they want to be.

时间是最宝贵的，所以不要无所事事，浪费时间。把时间用来做该做的事，不要放弃。大多数人知道，要是自己想实现目标，就要做出努力，而他们不愿意去努力。你要把时间用来做这些他们不愿做的事情。
