　　【英文原文】

　　Alow yourself to be happy and proud of your progress

　　Too often we are hard on ourselves and feel bad about our lack of progress. We feel guilty that we’ve missed a couple of workouts, or that our progress on our goal has stalled, or that we slipped up and ate some really fattening stuff.

　　Too often we are hard on ourselves and feel bad about our lack of progress. We feel guilty that we’ve missed a couple of workouts, or that our progress on our goal has stalled, or that we slipped up and ate some really fattening stuff.

　　But that’s looking at the glass as half empty, and it is almost guaranteed to hinder your progress towards your goal.

　　Look at the glass as half full — look back and see what you’ve done so far, and feel proud of your progress. Be happy about how far you’ve come so far, even if you have a long ways to go yet.

　　Take myself as an example. You might have read my story … and looking back, it seems like I’ve achieved a lot in a short amount of time. But there were plenty of times when I missed workouts, and felt plenty guilty. There were times when I ate unhealthy, and felt bad. There were times when my organization system went to pieces, when my email inbox had 10 messages sitting there, not acted upon.

　　But if I let those bad feelings have any power over me, I’d probably have given up then and there, and never have reached my destination.

　　The key is to step back, and look back on what you’ve done. Sure, I missed some workouts, but look at how many I’ve done! And it wasn’t long ago when I wasn’t even a runner at all! Instead of beating yourself up, celebrate your success, no matter how small!

　　We will always feel guilty about what we haven’t done, but it is important that we remind ourselves that it is only a temporary setback. I always tell myself that it’s just a small bump on a long road.

　　Take the long view, both behind you and ahead of you. Small glitches can’t derail a train as powerful as you!

　　【中文譯文】

　　我們常常對自己很刻薄，為自己沒有進(jìn)步而難過。我們?yōu)槲覀冊e過的一些考驗(yàn)而感到愧疚，或者奮斗的目標(biāo)受到阻撓，或者我們出現(xiàn)了失誤，吃了些油膩的食物。

　　但是這是以半罐的角度來看待的，而它幾乎就是阻撓了你目標(biāo)的進(jìn)展。

　　以半罐的角度來看杯子-回頭看看，迄今為止你都干了些什么，為自己的進(jìn)步而感到自豪。即使花費(fèi)了很大的力氣，為自己能走這么遠(yuǎn)而感到高興。

　　以我為例，你可能讀了我的故事，回頭看看，似乎我在極短的時間里有很多收獲，但是同樣也有很多時候我錯過了一些考驗(yàn)，并為此感到慚愧。很多時候我飲食不夠健康且感到難受。很多時候我的身體接近崩潰，那個時候，我的收件箱里有10條信息，都未曾動過。

　　但是如果我讓這些不良情緒來施壓給我，那個時候我可能會放棄，也不會實(shí)現(xiàn)現(xiàn)在的目標(biāo)。

　　關(guān)鍵在于后退一步，看看你都做了些什么，的確，我錯過了一些考驗(yàn)，但是看看我已經(jīng)完成了如此多的東西!不久前，我甚至還不是一個真正的賽跑者呢。不要被自己打敗，不管多么小的進(jìn)步，都去慶賀下自己。

　　我們經(jīng)常會為我們沒有做的而后悔，但我們常提醒自己這只是一個短暫的挫折，這一點(diǎn)是非常重要的。我經(jīng)常告訴自己這只是人生漫漫路途上的一次小碰撞。

　　從長遠(yuǎn)來看，過去和未來，小小的挫折是不能阻撓不了你的前進(jìn)的。
