And sometimes, it's appropriate. And that's what a person committed to excellence does-understands when,
有时候这是合适的 有时候追求卓越的人也会持有这种态度
for example, if you are a surgeon, you want to have the perfect operation.
比如 如果你是一个医生 你想做一场完美的手术
You don't want to say, "well, it's OK. I'm 80 percent right about where exactly to cut."
你可不会说 “好吧 没关系啊 我切对了八成应该切的东西”
Yeah, there are places where you want the perfectionism.
没错 在有些场合你会需要完美主义
But in many other areas in our lives, it's not necessary.
但是在我们生活中的其他方面 都不必要
And it hurts us. A perfectionist is very often prone to disorders.
甚至会伤害我们 完美主义者往往倾向混乱
And I mean disorders of numerous times including, for example, eating disorder.
我是指多方面的混乱 比如进食问题
So let me give you a personal example.
我来给你们提供一个个人的例子吧
So when I was playing squash, when I was playing full time,
在我还在打职业壁球的时候
I had to really take care of my diet-eat healthfully, eat well.
我必须控制我的食谱 要吃得健康吃得好
But there was a problem. There was a real challenge in my life.
但还是产生了问题 我的生活中有一项重大挑战
And that challenge was my mother who is the perfect cook. And her cakes are outstanding.
这挑战就是我的母亲个完美的大厨 她做的的蛋糕尤其诱人
So here is the common scenario that I encountered growing up-tough childhood:
于是就有了这样的我在长大的时候 常常遇到的状况 痛苦的童年：
I would come home after the squash practice, open the fridge, starving. And there was a large piece of cake.
我在壁球训练过后回家 饿得要命地打开冰箱 然后那里面有一大块蛋糕
Not a whole cake, but you know a quarter cake, very large, so inviting. So alluring.
不是一整个 但差不多四分之一个 非常大的一块 实在是非常诱人
And I know from past experiences it's so delicious. I look at it. And then I close the fridge.
我根据以往的经验知道 这很好吃 我看着这块蛋糕 然后关上了冰箱门
Because I can't have it. I'm in middle of training for an important tournament.
因为我不能吃 当时我正在在为一个重要的巡回赛训练
