有个“自负”是好还是坏? (英国)马特·贺恩登 陈荣生 译 (图片欣赏——区怡摄/湛江) “这些都不是那么好。我想我可以做得更好。” 这是我开始写作的原因之一。因为我在阅读其他文章的时候,脑海里会跳出这种想法。 我甚至对书籍也有过这种想法。是对那些著名的书籍,那些杰出的书籍。 我是谁,竟敢这么想? 那是我的自负。 我感谢它。 因为如果没有它,我永远也不会开始写作。如果没有它,我永远也不会找到我喜欢做的事情。如果没有它,我永远也不会放弃我那朝九晚五的工作。 但是…… 有时候我太过沉迷于其中了。 我会让他人的成就进入我的内心,从而使得我很难受。我会嫉妒。我会不满。 我会让我自己被骗去认为自己还不够好,或者是做得还不够多,做得还不够好。 这通常是在我的自负不起作用时所发生的。 我并不认为有个自负是好,或者是坏。 我认为自负是既好又坏。 (译自《赫芬顿邮报》) 您若认为此文对教育有益,敬 请 传 阅、推 荐、转 载。 原文如下,若有问题,可留言,我将尽量回答。 'Is Having an Ego Good or Bad?’ By Matt Hearnden “These aren’t even that good. I think I could do better.” That’s one of the reasons I started writing. Because I was reading other articles and that thought came to mind. I’ve even thought that about books. Famous books. Brilliant books. Who the fuck am I to think that? That’s my ego. And I’m grateful for it. Because I never would’ve started writing without it. I never would’ve found something I love to do without it. I never would’ve been able to quit my 9-5 without it. But. Sometimes I get too caught up in it. I’ll let other people’s accomplishments get inside me and make me feel bad. I become jealous. I become resentful. I let myself be tricked into think I’m not good enough, or doing enough, or being enough. That’s when my ego becomes unhelpful. I don’t think having an ego is good or bad. I think it’s good and bad. |
