【D.G. Wander⎮選擇 / The Choices】

發表於 Jul 06, 2022

生活中面臨著成千上萬個選擇，你人生的軌跡就是由一連串的選擇所造就出來的，這些選擇有的大，有的小，有的輕，有的重。在關鍵時刻總是人生的轉捩點，這時的選擇就顯得極其重要。如何做出正確的選擇？了解自己的需要，並看清楚世界的變動。

There are thousands of choices in life, and the trajectory of your life is created by a series of choices, some are big, some are small, some are light, and some are heavy. It is always a turning point in life at a critical moment, and the choice sometimes is extremely important. How to make the right choice? You have to know your own needs and see how the world is changing.

然而世界跑得太快，你即使加緊了腳步卻怎樣也追趕不上。別太氣餒，這是很正常的事，現代人的日常就如同夸父逐日，唯一的定律就是永遠都追不上歲月流逝的速度。既然如此，要如何看清楚世界的變動？了解自己的需要，也就是認識你自己，是開始的第一步。

However, the world moves so fast that even if you step up your pace, you can't keep up. But don't be too discouraged, this is normal. The daily life of modern people is like Kuafu chasing the sun, and the only law is that you can never keep up with the speed of the passage of time. In this case, how can we see the changes in the world clearly? Knowing your own needs, that is, knowing yourself, is the first step to getting started.

認識自己之後，就能確認自己的需要，我需要什麼才能更上一層樓？我需要什麼才能讓人生更美好？從確認自己的立場延伸，進而連結到所在的世界，這時的你再來看世界，就有不同的視野，自然能看到之前所看不到的風景。正所謂從「見山是山，見水是水」到「見山不是山，見水不是水」，風景不同，自然體會不同，對世界的領悟也就多了一些。

Once knowing yourself, you can identify your needs. What to do to take it up a notch? What to do to make life better? It extends from confirming your own position and then connecting to the world you are in. At this time, when you look at the world again, you will have a different perspective, and you will naturally be able to see the scenery that you could not see before. From Chinese sayings ''Jian Shan Shi Shan, Jian Shui Shi Shui (Knowing but not comprehending)'' to ''Jian Shan Bu Shi Shan, Jian Shui Bu Shi Shui (concentrate to get carried away)'', after seeing the different scenery, the experience increases, and the understanding of the world is also enriched.

生活中有太多的糾結，所以才有人提倡「斷捨離」，能夠斷開某些固著的、無意義的連結，才能展開全新的、有意義的連結。捨棄和離別是一種能力，是一種刻意鍛鍊出來的能力，同時就是一種「選擇」：在你生命裡真正重要的事物，是有限的，所以才需要作出選擇，我選擇和哪些事物產生連結，就意味著我選擇放棄和某些事物連結的機會，這是一體兩面的道理。

There are too many entanglements in life, so there are people who advocate '' getting rid of the old stuff''. The ability to break certain fixed, meaningless connections can lead to new, meaningful things. Abandonment and parting are a kind of ability that is deliberately exercised and at the same time a kind of "choice": the things that are important in your life are limited, so you need to make choices. This is a two-sided truth that what you choose to connect with means giving up the opportunity of certain things.

做出了明確的選擇，才能走上為自己人生設計的道路。人生的路如果是由別人鋪好的，雖然很輕鬆省力，但多無趣啊？！「走自己的路，讓別人去說吧！」但丁這句至理名言的確發人深省。人生中有很多事身不由己，但反過來說，也有很多事是可以自己決定的。人生中有三種事：我的事、他的事、上天的事。完全能自己控制的事有限，但只要掌握好，做出正確的選擇，就能走出不一樣的路，一條與眾不同的路。

Only by making clear choices can you embark on the path you have designed for your life. If the road of life is paved by others, although it is easy and labor-saving, how boring is it? "Go your own way; let others talk!" Dante's wise saying is truly thought-provoking. There are many things in life that are involuntary, but on the other hand, there is also something that you can decide on your own. There are three things in life: mine, his, and God's. The things that you can completely control are limited, but as long as you master them well and make the right choices, you can walk a different path, a path that is distinct from others.

感覺很費力嗎？但你得到的報酬是等價的。別人看到的風景千篇一律，你看到的就是比別人精彩！你見到的山水不是單純的山水，而是從你內心投射出來的美麗風景；不是單純地「觀看」，而是能以不同的角度「欣賞」風景、享受自己的人生。別人看到的是一團迷霧，但你能明白總有柳暗花明的時刻到來。這一切的開始，就從生活中每個選擇堆砌而成，做出適合自己的選擇，視野愈加清晰，風景也愈加明朗。

Feeling exhausted? But what you get paid is equivalent. The scenery that others see is the same, but what you see is more wonderful. The scenery you see is not simple, but a beautiful one that is projected from your heart; Not simply "watching” but can "appreciate" the landscape and enjoy your life from different perspectives. What others see is a cloud of fog, but you can understand that there will always come a moment of clearness. At the beginning of all this, it is piled up from every choice in life, making the choice that suits you, your vision becomes clearer, and the scenery becomes brighter.

人生可以很單純，但你能賦予它特別的意義；可以是走馬看花的心態，但也可以是震懾人心的英雄之旅！所謂的英雄之旅，就是能走出自己的路，活出精采人生的旅途。追隨自己內心的召喚，做出適合的選擇回應它吧，你一定能有不同的體會，讓自己的人生擁有獨特的風景。

Life can be very simple, but you can give it special meaning; it can be a hurried and cursory glance or a journey of a hero. The so-called hero's journey is the journey of being able to walk out of one's own way and live a wonderful life. Follow your inner calling and make a suitable choice to respond to it. You will definitely have a different experience and make your life a unique scenery.
