excerpt from commencement speech by David Brooks?at Dartmouth college
四個承諾
節(jié)選于戴維德布魯克斯在達特茅斯學院畢業(yè)典禮的演講
making commitments sounds intimidating, but it's not. Making? a commitment simply means falling in love with something, then building? a structure of behavior?around it that will carry you through when you love falters.
做承諾聽上去挺嚇人，但沒什么可怕捆毫。承諾簡言之是愛上什么朗兵，當愛搖擺時圍繞承諾構建系列行為帶你走出搖擺。
when you make? a commitment to something? you truly love, whether it's a spouse, a job, a company, or a school, it won't feel like you? are putting on an uncomfortable lobster shell.it will feel? like you are taking off the shell and becoming the? shape you were meant to be.
當你對你所真正熱愛的做了承諾殃姓，不論是配偶，工作，公司還是學校调榄，不會像讓你穿了龍蝦殼一樣不舒服愿伴，反倒像卸掉束縛成為你注定的樣子肺魁。
when you are making a commitment, you won't be paralyzed by self-focus because you'll have something besides?yourself to think about. specifically, as you go through your 30s, you will make four major commitments, and your life depends on how you do with these four things.
當你許下承諾，你不會在自我關注下目瞪口呆隔节，因為你有自身之外的事物要考慮鹅经。特別是在三十多歲的時段寂呛，要立下你主要的四個承諾，你的人生取決于如何處理這四個承諾瘾晃。
First, a commitment? to your?spouse and your family. Second, a commitment to? a career and a vocation. Third, a commitment to your faith and to your?philosiphy. fourth, a commitment to a community and a village.
第一愛配偶和家人贷痪，第二愛事業(yè)，第三愛你的信仰和人生哲學蹦误，第四愛社區(qū)
