When you look back on yourself in the past – 10, 20, 30 or more years ago – it’s surprising to see how much you have changed over time. Your experiences, your friends, your family and your work have all shaped who you are right now. But where will you be in another few years? How will you have changed? Reflective writing in your journal is an excellent way to think about what you want out of the future.
当你10年、20年或更多年后回顾过去时,你会吃惊地发现,随着时光的流逝,你也发生了很大的变化。你的经历、朋友、家庭和工作造就了现在的你。但是再过几年你会在哪里呢?你会如何变化呢?这样反思性的写作,会是思考未来你想要什么的一种好的方式。
You may have already written a letter to your younger self before, conveying all the wisdom and perspective you wish you had had at the time. Now consider the opposite end of the spectrum; what would you say if you wrote your future self a letter?
你也许以前试过给过去的自己写信,向年轻时的自己传授一些人生的智慧和观点,你希望那时候的自己就能知道这些。现在我们换个角度看问题,如果让你给未来的自己写封信,你会写点什么?
Just imagine writing a letter to your future self 5 years from now, then opening it at that exact moment 5 years down the road to see how much of it resonated with you. It is a useful supplementary tool to be used in goal achievement, because when you write the letter to your future self, it helps crystallize exactly how you anticipate yourself to become at that specific moment down the road.
想象一下,给5年后的'自己写一封信,当5年后你打开那封信时,你会产生多少共鸣。这是实现目标的一种有用的辅助工具,因为当你给未来的自己写信时,你会慢慢理清希望自己在人生旅途的那个特定时刻变成什么样子。
As you read the letter in the future, you can assess how many things match up (or not vs. your expectations in the past and think about why that’s the case. Often times, the goals we set and our goal achievement process are subjected to a lot of changes along the way, due to varying obstacles, unanticipated circumstances and changing priorities. The letter gives you a macro-view of your initial vision and lets you recognize how your current vision differs from the past.
当你在未来读这封信时,你可以看看有多少事情是像你过去期望的那样,你也会思考为什么会这样。很多时候,我们设定目标在实现的过程中会受到沿途中各种因素的影响,因为会遇到各种各样的困难、各种意外情况并需要不断调整优先级。这封信能让你从宏观的角度上去看自己最初的愿景,让你意识到自己现在的想法和过去相比有多么不同。
When you open the letter in the future, you as your future self gets to compare how you used to be in the past and compare with how you are currently. This lets you see in totality how much things have changed since then – and this can be a really intriguingexperience. It’s interesting to just see how much you have grown/changed since you wrote the letter.
当你以后看信时,你会把过去的自己和现在的自己进行比较。这会让你看清从写信时起你发生了哪些变化,这种体验是非常有趣的。光看看从你写信开始发生了哪些变化就很有趣了。
我对学习有着浓厚的兴趣,是因为我生长在一个温馨的家庭中。让我用几个例子来描述一下吧。
“富翁”老爸
我家搬家很特殊,家具没几件,却有许许多多的纸箱子,搞得搬运工以为我家是做生意的。每当有人问爸爸:“您是哪行的大老板?”时,妈妈却在一旁笑个不停。其实箱子里装的全是爸爸的书,他视书如命。每次搬家,他都再三叮嘱:“小心!注意!不要将书损坏。”妈妈逗爸爸说:“老板,您这么多书,价值多少呀?”爸爸却哈哈大笑地说:“价值连城呀!”
坚持己见
从十多年会计工作的妈妈,做起事来总有一些固执。听说电脑刚进入家庭那年,妈妈提议为双胞胎哥哥买上一台电脑。这可惹恼了爸爸,他怒目圆睁地责怪妈妈道:“他俩从小迷恋电子游戏,你这样做岂不是引火烧身嘛!”但最终妈妈还是将一台崭新的电脑搬回了家。说来也怪,不知妈妈施了什么法术,俩哥哥游戏不玩了,却买来一大堆书,如饥似渴地学了起来。现在他们都成了很了不起的电脑工程师,令爸爸喜出望外。望着两个成功的哥哥,爸爸逢人就夸,说我的妈妈功不可没。
近朱者赤
85岁高龄的外婆,小时候,由于家境贫寒,又赶上重男轻女的年代。所以斗大的字,她不认一个。一天,见外婆在准备处理掉的废书中,选出两盒无图识字卡片。我不解的问:“您要它干啥?”外婆一本正经地说:“看你天天那么用功地学习,我的心里痒痒的……”外婆的一席话深深的感动了我,我暗下决心,无论多忙,也要抽出时间教外婆识字。
我生活在这样一个既温馨有充满浓浓学习气氛的家庭,感到十分幸运。我爱我家!爱我家庭的每个成员!
By the time you read this you will be 30. At the age of 18 I had so many hopes and dreams about where you'd be, what you'd be doing and with whom you'd spend your life with.
Right now I hope that you have traveled and seen everything you've always wanted to, both in Canada and overseas, and maybe even settled down somewhere in Australia doing some research in the field of biology (genetics.
I hope you're married to the man of your dreams. The man of mine is Gwynn. He is originally from South Africa (another place I wish to visit.
You'll probably have two children of your own – a girl(Michaela Anne and a boy (name yet to be decided.If everything goes according to plan you'll be living in Australia in a big house in a small town outside of a big city with a lot of land, a dog, Gwynn and your two beautiful children. Hopefully you have a career in the medical field, maybe doing research in genetics. Gwynn will be a computer programmer and you will be doing alright for yourselves.
However, if things don't go according to plan for you, I wish you all the love, happiness and joy in the world and don't settle for anything less than the best since that is absolutely what you deserve.
Live long, be happy and live life to it's fullest.
Love Sherri "18″
