- Wednesday- 对话框回复“早安”或者“morning'，获取清晨元气满满的英文金句  Today, I would like to share a great speech with you. If you can take the suggetion in the speach, I can guarantee that your life will have an amazing change after 30 days. 今天，我想跟大家分享一篇很棒的演讲。如果你能听取这篇演讲中建议，我可以保证：30天后，你的生活一定会发生惊人的改变！ A few years ago, I felt like I was stuck in a rut, so I decided to follow I the footsteps of the great American philosopher, Morgan Spurlock, and try something new for 30 days. 几年前，我感觉自己（的生活）进入了瓶颈期，所以，我决定追随伟大的美国哲学家摩根·斯普尔洛克的脚步，尝试做新事情30天。
The idea is actually pretty simple. 这个主意真的很简单。 Think about something you’ve always wanted to add to your life and try it for the next 30 days. 想一下你一直想要做的一些事情，并在接下来的30天去实践它。
It turns out 30 days is just about the right amount of time to add a new habit or subtract a habit-like watching the news-from your life. 30天刚好可以养成一个新的习惯或者改掉一个旧习惯，比如：看新闻。
There are a few things I learned while doing these 30-day challenges. 当我在30天尝试这些挑战的时候，我学到了很多。 The first was, instead of the months flying by, forgotten, the time was much more memorable. 第一件事是，这段时间会变得令人难忘，而不是逝去后便被遗忘。 This was part of a challenge I did to take a picture every day for a month. And I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing that day. 挑战的一部分是一个月内每天我要去拍一张照片。我清楚地记得那一天自己所处的位置以及我都在做什么。 I also noticed that as I started to do more and harder 30-day challenges, my self-confidence grew. 我还注意到，随着我开始做更多、更难的事情，我的自信心也在不断增长。 I went from desk-dwelling computer nerd to the kind of guy who bikes to work-for fun. 我从一个计算机宅男变成了一个爱骑自行车去上班的人。 Even last year, I ended up hiking up Mt. Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa. I would never have been that adventurous before I started my 30-day challenges 甚至去年，我完成了在非洲最高峰—乞力马扎罗山的远足。在开始30天挑战计划之前，我从来没有这样冒险过。 I also figured out that if you really want something badly enough, you can do anything for 30 days. 我还懂得了，如果你非常想做某事，你可以在三十天做任何事。 Have you ever wanted to write a novel? 你曾想过写小说吗？ Every November, tens of thousands of people try to write their own 50,000-word novel from scratch in 30 days. 每年11月，数以万计的人们在30天里，从零做起，尝试写他们的5万字的小说。 It turns out all you have to do is write 1,667 words a day for a month. 你所要做的就是每天写1667个字，坚持30天。 So I did. 我做到了。 By the way, the secret is not to go to sleep until you’ve written your words for the day. You might be sleep-deprived, but you’ll finish your novel. 顺便说一下，秘密就是除非你写完了1667个字，要不你就甭想睡觉。可能你会被剥夺睡眠，但你将完成你的小说。 Now is my book the next great American novel? 我写的书会是下一部伟大的美国小说吗？ No. I wrote it in a month. It’s awful. 不是。我在一个月内写完它，写得很烂。 But for the rest of my life, if I meet John Hodgeman at a party, I don’t have to say, “I’m a computer scientist.” If I want to, I can say, “I’m a novelist.” 但是在我以后的日子里，如果我在聚会上遇见约翰·霍奇曼，我可以不用说，“我是一个电脑科学家”。如果我愿意，我可以说：“我是个小说家”。 So here is one last thing I'd like to mention. I learned that when I made small, sustainable changes, things I could keep doing, they were more likely to stick. In fact, they’re a ton of fun. 我想说的最后一件事：我知道，当我做这些很小的、持续性的变化时，我可以不断尝试做的事情时，我更容易坚持下来。事实上，做这些事让我觉得超级快乐。 Here my question to you: what are you waiting for? 我想问大家一句：你们还在等什么呢？ I guarantee you the next 30 days are going to pass whether you like it or not, so why not think about something you have always wanted to try and give it a shot for the next 30 days? 我可以肯定，不论你喜欢与否，未来的30天都会过去。那么，为什么不去想想那些你心里一直想做的事情，在接下来的30天里，去实现它们呢？ |
