英文视频 | 你为什么应该离职!_腾讯视频
有件事我想告诉你,在某一天,你终将死去。
而我现在想要向你展示的是:为什么你目前所做的让你憎恶的工作,正是对你自己生命的浪费!
看到这张图了吗?「0-20岁这段时间轴」,就是我们无忧无虑的的童年时期和青少年时期。
而我们中的大多数人,都会在差不多20多岁左右得到一份工作。
并且我们中的大多数人都会在65岁的时候退休。
现在,如果我们足够幸运,我们可以一直活到80岁。
而当你看到这段时间轴,你会知道我们中大多数人的一生中的大部分生命岁月,都奉献给了工作。
然而,最近的一份盖洛普民意测验显示,在美国85%的人都并不喜欢他们的工作。
而在中国和日本,这个数据是94%。
非常疯狂的数据。
但是这个疯狂的数字背后却显示了我们中的绝大部分人都并不喜欢我们所做的工作,然而却不得不投入我们生命中的大部分时间去做它。
你难道想让你生命的大部分时光都付诸于这些你并不喜欢做的事情上面吗?
如果你现在埋头苦干的目的是为了退休以后享清福,那么你可能又错了,因为仅仅只有82%的人能够真正活到65岁。
就算你真正活到65岁。平均数据显示,在你退休之后,你的生命也差不多还剩仅仅15年左右的时间。
另一个事实是,仅仅只有65%的人能够真正活到80岁。
所以,不要做一份从周一开始上班就感觉身体灵魂被掏干,然后只能在周末真正为自己活着的工作。
如果你非常不喜欢你的工作,就辞掉它!
去寻找另外一种谋生的方式。
就算你明早起床,突然意识到你想要完完全全的、彻底改造你自己并且,去成为那个你一直想要成为的人,一切,都还为时不晚。
现在你可能在思考,“这样做太不现实了,因为我还得抚养我的家庭啊!”
但是,我想要你思考的是:
如果你的小孩儿长大之后仅仅只是为了变成你的另一个翻版,而你现在,却每天都在疲于忙碌于你所憎恶的工作之上。那么试想一下当他们在长大之后又会做什么呢?
当然又会做和你一样让你十分厌恶的事情!
你难道想让他们的生命也变成那样吗?
你难道不愿意让你的小孩儿看到你作为父母,追求你自己所钟爱的事物并因此而活出了一个充实精彩的人生吗?
如此,他们长大之后也必然会成为如你这般的人。
即便这样做的代价是,你可能只能挣到更少的钱。
因为不管你能够挣到多少钱——无论你是一位价值10亿美元的企业首席执行官CEO,还是一个看门保安,我们所有人的身体终将归于尘土。
所以,我想带着对你诚挚的尊重向你挑战——你敢不敢重新思考你的人生?
如果你无法从你现在所做的工作、或者你的生活目标、或者你对你生存意义的定义中收获快乐,那么,就改变它们!
就算你做自己热爱的事情的代价是你可能会挣更少的钱,不再觉得买房买车——只为了和亲朋好友攀比是非常必须的。
你也不用非得紧跟其他人的脚步而随波逐流。
不要害怕你可能会因为没有一个好的职位而被周遭人议论纷纷。
不要在你生命尽头回首过往的时候,才为你的那些没有实现的那些理想和放弃的机会而追悔莫及。
不要在你生命走到尽头的时候,才意识到你生命的大部分时光,都浪费在了你所憎恶的工作之中。
不要为了生计而疲于奔命,以致于你忘记了究竟应该如何生活。
因为,生命实在是太短了。
所以,做一些你真正热爱并且能够引以自豪的事情吧。
当你不工作的时候,就把时间花费在陪伴你所爱之人上面。
因为——
你生,不是仅仅为了缴各种费用,然后死亡。
你生,是为了向阳而生!
视频英文原文:
In case you didn’t know, one day, you will die, and I wanna show you why the job that you have that you hate is a waste of your life.
See this right here, is our childhood and our teenage years and we have a lot of fun. And most of us usually get a job right around here at 20 years old.
And most people will retire at the age of 65.
Now if we’re lucky, we will live all the way to 80 years old.
Now if you look at this, the majority of our lives will actually be spent at work.
But a recent Gallop poll found that 85% of people in America don’t enjoy their jobs.
And in China and Japan, that number is almost 94%.
Now that’s this crazy statistic.
Most people hate what they do but spend most of their lives doing it.
Do you want to spend the majority of your life doing something that you hate doing?
And just so you know if you’re slaving away for retirement down here. You’re missing the point because only 82% of people in the world will actually live to the age of 65.
And if you get to 65, on average, you only have about 15 more years left to live after you retire.
And also so you know, only 65% of people actually live until the age of 80.
So don’t stay at a job where you dread Mondays and live for the weekends.
If you don’t like your job, quit it!
Find another way to make money.
It’s okay to wake up tomorrow and completely reinvent yourself and become the person that you’ve always wanted to be.
It’s never too late to start.
Now you may be thinking, “well that’s unrealistic because I have a family to feed.”
What I want you to think of is this:
If your children grow up just to be just like you.
And you work a job that you hate, guess what they will do when they get older?
The same thing.
Do you want that life for them?
Wouldn’t you rather have your children watch you live a fulfilled life doing what you love?
So that they can grow up and do the same?
Even if it means that you make less money?
Because no matter how you make your money, whether you’re the CEO of a billion dollar company or a janitor, we all end up as dust.
And so it’s with really great love and respect that I want to challenge you to rethink your life.
If you’re not happy with your job or your purpose, or your meaning in life, change it.
It’s okay to make less money doing something that you love and not to feel the need to buy a bigger house or a new car just because your neighbor did.
You don’t have to keep up with the Joneses.
Don’t fear being judged by people just because you don’t have that great job title.
Don’t look back at the end of your life and see unfulfilled dreams or chances that you didn’t take and days that were just wasted away at a job that you hated.
Don’t be so busy making a living that you forget to actually make a life.
Because life is so short.
Do something that you love and be proud of it.
And when you’re not working, spend that time with the people that you love because here’s the deal—
You weren’t born to just pay the bills and die.
You were born, to thrive.
