The best way to trap a monkey is to build a cage with an opening just large enough for his hand to fit though so that he can grab a cookie or banana inside the cage. He will grab the item in his fist and will not be able to pull his hand back out of the hole. This makes for a very effective trap because it never occurs to the monkey that he will be free if he will only loosen his grip and let go of the treat in his hand.

捕到猴子最好的方法就是在笼子上弄一个刚好它手能通过的洞口,这样当它伸进手抓起里面的饼干或香蕉之后,它的拳头将无法从洞口抽出来。这种捕猎方法很有效,因为猴子永远想不到只要松开手,放弃美食,它就可以获得自由。
While I like to think I’m smarter than a monkey, it took me a while to realize that my responsibilities as a landlord, repairman, and investment manager were taking over my life. In short, taking care of my stuff was consuming me. I wasn’t even able to enjoy what I had. I knew I had to let go of something in order to get out of the trap.
当然,我希望自己比猴子聪明。但是我仍是花了一段时间才发现,房主、保养员和投资经理的身份夺去了我生活的很大一部分。简而言之就是,料理我所拥有的东西在消耗我的生命。我甚至无法从拥有的这些东西中获得乐趣。我知道如果我想摆脱就需要放弃一些事情。
Are you enjoying your favorite things at this time in your life? If you find that you’re too busy to do so, it may be time to prioritize. Do you enjoy a balance between work and your personal life? If not, what could you change about your present situation?
你现在在享受自己喜欢的事情带来的快乐吗?如果你发现自己太忙而做不到这点,那么或许你应该对你的生活进行一番整理。你在工作和个人生活之间能找到平衡吗?如果不能,你应该怎样做来改变现在的状况呢?
Deciding to let go of things you own and have worked hard to attain isn’t always easy. But usually it’s letting go of things that frees you to live a fuller and richer life.
我们的确很难放弃自已拥有或努力争取来的东西。但是通常就是通过放弃这些事情才能还你更加丰富充实的生活。
