A few years ago, I felt like I was stuck in a rut,
0
15260
4976
几年前,
我感觉对老一套感到枯燥乏味,
00:20
so I decided to follow in the footsteps
1
20260
1976
所以我决定追随
00:22
of the great American philosopher, Morgan Spurlock,
2
22260
3536
伟大的美国哲学家摩根·斯普尔洛克的脚步,
00:25
and try something new for 30 days.
3
25820
2416
尝试做新事情30天。
00:28
The idea is actually pretty simple.
4
28783
1753
这个想法的确是非常简单。
00:30
Think about something you've always wanted to add to your life
5
30935
3001
考虑下,你常想在你生命中做的一些事情
00:33
and try it for the next 30 days.
6
33960
2276
接下来30天尝试做这些。
这就是,
00:37
It turns out 30 days is just about the right amount of time
7
37157
3394
30天刚好是这么一段合适的时间
00:40
to add a new habit or subtract a habit --
8
40575
2692
去养成一个新的习惯或者改掉一个习惯--
例如看新闻 --
00:43
like watching the news --
9
43291
1245
00:44
from your life.
10
44560
1676
在你生活中。
00:46
There's a few things I learned while doing these 30-day challenges.
11
46260
3191
当我在30天做这些挑战性事情时,我学到以下一些事。
00:49
The first was,
12
49882
1354
第一件事是,
00:51
instead of the months flying by, forgotten,
13
51260
2976
取代了飞逝而过易被遗忘的岁月的是
00:54
the time was much more memorable.
14
54260
2976
这段时间非常的更加令人难忘。
00:57
This was part of a challenge I did to take a picture every day for a month.
15
57260
3572
挑战的一部分是要一个月内每天我要去拍摄一张照片。
01:00
And I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing that day.
16
60856
4425
我清楚地记得那一天我所处的位置
我都在干什么。
01:06
I also noticed
17
66392
1277
我也注意到
01:07
that as I started to do more and harder 30-day challenges,
18
67693
3329
随着我开始做更多的,更难的30天里具有挑战性的事时,
我自信心也增强了。
01:11
my self-confidence grew.
19
71046
1190
01:12
I went from desk-dwelling computer nerd
20
72839
1897
我从一个台式计算机宅男极客
01:14
to the kind of guy who bikes to work.
21
74760
2476
变成了一个爱骑自行车去工作的人--
01:17
For fun!
22
77857
1248
为了玩乐。
01:19
(Laughter)
23
79129
1350
01:20
Even last year, I ended up hiking up Mt. Kilimanjaro,
24
80503
3023
甚至去年,我完成了在非洲最高山峰
01:23
the highest mountain in Africa.
25
83550
1686
乞力马扎罗山的远足。
01:25
I would never have been that adventurous before I started my 30-day challenges.
26
85260
5023
在我开始这30天做挑战性的事之前
我从来没有这样爱冒险过。
01:31
I also figured out that if you really want something badly enough,
27
91260
4597
我也认识到
如果你真想一些槽糕透顶的事,
01:35
you can do anything for 30 days.
28
95881
2355
你可以在30天里做这些事。
你曾想写小说吗?
01:39
Have you ever wanted to write a novel?
29
99365
1865
每年11月,
01:42
Every November,
30
102219
1291
数以万计的人们
01:43
tens of thousands of people
31
103534
1302
01:44
try to write their own 50,000-word novel, from scratch,
32
104860
4081
在30天里,从零起点
01:48
in 30 days.
33
108965
1271
尝试写他们自己的5万字小说。
01:50
It turns out, all you have to do is write 1,667 words a day
34
110923
4849
这结果就是,你所要去做的事
就是每天写1667个字
01:55
for a month.
35
115796
1203
要写一个月。
01:57
So I did.
36
117833
1403
所以我做到了。
01:59
By the way, the secret is not to go to sleep
37
119260
2861
顺便说一下,秘密是除非在一天里你已经写完了1667个字,
要不你就甭想睡觉。
02:02
until you've written your words for the day.
38
122145
2097
02:04
You might be sleep-deprived,
39
124790
1446
你可能被剥夺睡眠,
02:06
but you'll finish your novel.
40
126260
1698
但你将会完成你的小说。
那么我写的书会是下一部伟大的美国小说吗?
02:09
Now is my book the next great American novel?
41
129029
3207
02:12
No. I wrote it in a month.
42
132707
1529
不是的。我在一个月内写完它。
02:14
It's awful.
43
134260
1836
它看上去太可怕了。
02:16
(Laughter)
44
136120
1642
02:17
But for the rest of my life,
45
137786
2185
但在我的余生,
02:19
if I meet John Hodgman at a TED party,
46
139995
2241
如果我在一个TED聚会上遇见约翰·霍奇曼,
02:22
I don't have to say,
47
142260
1976
我不必开口说,
02:24
"I'm a computer scientist."
48
144260
1976
“我是一个电脑科学家。”
02:26
No, no, if I want to, I can say, "I'm a novelist."
49
146260
3339
不,不会的,如果我想我可以说,“我是一个小说家。”
02:29
(Laughter)
50
149623
3362
(笑声)
我这儿想提的最后一件事。
02:33
So here's one last thing I'd like to mention.
51
153009
2227
02:35
I learned that when I made small, sustainable changes,
52
155260
3479
当我做些小的,持续性的变化,
02:38
things I could keep doing,
53
158763
1473
我可以不断尝试做的事时,
02:40
they were more likely to stick.
54
160260
2223
我学到我可以把它们更容易地坚持做下来。
02:42
There's nothing wrong with big, crazy challenges.
55
162507
2729
这和又大又疯狂的具有挑战性的事情无关。
02:45
In fact, they're a ton of fun.
56
165260
2366
事实上,它们的乐趣无穷。
02:48
But they're less likely to stick.
57
168088
1602
但是,它们就不太可能坚持做下来。
02:50
When I gave up sugar for 30 days,
58
170510
2568
当我在30天里拒绝吃糖果,
31天后看上去就像这样。
02:53
day 31 looked like this.
59
173102
1815
02:54
(Laughter)
60
174941
2304
(笑声)
所以我给大家提的问题是:
02:57
So here's my question to you:
61
177269
2441
02:59
What are you waiting for?
62
179734
1735
大家还在等什么呀?
03:01
I guarantee you the next 30 days
63
181493
2278
我保准大家在未来的30天
03:03
are going to pass whether you like it or not,
64
183795
3600
会去经历
你喜欢或者不喜欢的事,
03:07
so why not think about something you have always wanted to try
65
187419
4699
那么为什么不考虑一些
你常想去尝试
并在未来30天里试试
03:12
and give it a shot!
66
192142
1247
03:13
For the next 30 days.
67
193971
1349
给自己一个机会。
03:15
Thanks.
68
195916
1320
谢谢。
03:17
(Applause)
