A few years ago, I felt like I was stuck in a rut, so I decided to follow in the footsteps of the great American philosopher, Morgan Spurlock, and try something new for 30 days.

幾年前，我感覺我的生活如一潭死水。所以我決定效仿美國偉大的哲學(xué)家摩根.史柏路克，花三十天嘗試些新事物。

The first was, instead of the months flying by, forgotten, the time was much more memorable. This was part of a challenge I did to take a picture everyday for a month. And I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing that day.

第一，這一個(gè)月并非毫無痕跡地飛速流逝，相反，這段時(shí)間令我記憶深刻，這是我進(jìn)行的一項(xiàng)挑戰(zhàn)，連續(xù)一個(gè)月，每天拍攝一張照片。我記得清清楚楚，當(dāng)天我在哪里，做了什么事。

I also noticed that as I started to do more and harder 30-day challenges, my self-confidence grew. I went from desk-dwelling computer nerd to the kind of guy who bikes to work -- for fun. Even last year, I ended up hiking up Mt. Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa. I would never have been that adventurous before I started my 30-day challenges.

我還注意到，當(dāng)我開始進(jìn)行更多更難的三十天挑戰(zhàn)時(shí)，我的自信心也隨之增加，之前我是一個(gè)死宅程序員，而現(xiàn)在，我會(huì)騎自行車上班，只是因?yàn)橛腥?。甚至在去年，我登上了乞力馬扎羅山，非洲的最高峰。在開始三十天挑戰(zhàn)之前，我從未有過這樣的冒險(xiǎn)之旅。

Every November, tens of thousands of people try to write their own 50,000-word novel from scratch in 30 days. It turns out, all you have to do is write 1,667 words a day for a month. So I did. By the way, the secret is not to go to sleep until you’ve written your words for the day. You might be sleep-deprived, but you’ll finish your novel.

每年十一月，數(shù)萬人想要從零開始寫一本五萬字的小說，在三十天內(nèi)寫完。結(jié)果證明，你只需連續(xù)一個(gè)月每天寫1667個(gè)字。我就是這樣做的，順便說一下，秘訣就是不寫完1667字就不去睡覺，雖然睡眠被剝奪了，但你將會(huì)寫完小說。

I learned that when I made small, sustainable changes, things I could keep doing, they were more likely to stick.

我發(fā)現(xiàn)進(jìn)行較小并且持續(xù)的改變，做些我能一直進(jìn)行下去的事，這些習(xí)慣就很有可能堅(jiān)持下去。

So here’s my question to you: What are you waiting for? I guarantee you the next 30 days are going to pass whether you like it or not, so why not think about something you have always wanted to try and give it a shot for the next 30 days.

我想問大家：你們還在等什么呢？我向你們保證，不管你是否愿意，接下來三十天總會(huì)過去。為什么不考慮下你一直想做的事情呢？在接下來三十天開始嘗試吧！
