学会在不满意中成长(一)

分类: 求职英语 

That strange, gut-wrenching feeling you have is not the sushi you had for lunch. It's your soul trying to give you a nudge to do something. A word for that feeling is "discontent." Discontent is a state of not being satisfied or fulfilled in your current situation.

那个奇怪、挠心的感觉不是因为午饭吃料理。那时你灵魂要让你去做某件事的给出的一个促动。用一个词概括“不满”。不满是不满意、对现状不满足。

Of course, this same feeling can apply to a hundred different situations, from a work-related issue to a personal issue at home. But, the resulting meaning is still the same: "make a change." Some people listen to that feeling and change their life in such a way as to eliminate that feeling. However, some people that fall into discontent, but tend to remain in that situation as they find it a place of "same-ness" and "safety."

当然,同样的感觉也能出现在各种情况下,从工作事情到家庭个人问题。但是,引出的含义都一样:“要做出改变”。 对有些倾听这种感觉的人们来说,他们是去改变生活来消除这种感觉。然而,对另一些不满的人来说,他们往往依然呆在其中,因为他们感觉“一样”和“安全”。

--- Soul Greenhouse --- 灵魂温室

Discontent is actually a "soul greenhouse" of change. It is the first warnings you receive that things are not what they should be and that a change is required to correct the situation. Discontent comes when there is juxtaposition between needs and desires. Usually, you're pursuing a need, achieve it, and then continue to pursue the ideals of the same need. This occurs because you don't know what to do once you reach the objective. However, once you achieve a need, you need to move on to the next pursuit.

不满其实是一个改变的“灵魂温室”。它是当情况不是应该的样子,需要改变纠正情况下最初的警报。不满是需求和渴求在一起是出现。通常,你都在追求一个需求,实现了,然后继续同样需求的追求。因为你不知道一旦达到目标后做什么。不过,你一旦实现了需求,你就需要继续下一个追求。

Many people find that discontent for a given situation is acceptable. For instance, discontent with your work might feel acceptable because you have to make money and care for your family. In this way, you learn to overcome the discontent by accepting the obligations. However, while this may work, it is not necessarily the route to take. Indeed, you might need the job, but this feeling is calling for an evaluation as some aspect of the situation needs attention.

许多人认为对某个处境不满意是可以接受的。例如,对工作不满也许因为要赚钱、照顾家庭所以可以接受。这样,你学会了通过接受义务来克服不满。不过,虽然这也许奏效,但是不是一条必选之路。的确,你需要工作,但是那一个感觉要求你进行评估,因为这个处境下的某个方面需要考虑。

Discontent can provide you with either a reason to stay right where you are or a fertile environment from which to move forward. While it does provide a way for the Universe to bring attention to a situation, we sometimes become so accustomed to the feeling that it becomes part of our life. In such a case, if we adapt and the discontented feeling is resolved, we will miss it.

不满意提供给你的,要么是一个呆在原地的理由,要么是一个前进的肥沃环境。虽然它让人们关注一个处境,但是有时候我们对于这种感觉过于习以为常,因为它已经成为了我们生活的一部分。这时候,如果我们适应了,而不满感觉被解决,那么我们就失去了它(不满)。
