You need to make a decision today. You know it. And you probably even know your choice. Yet, it has been put off for some time. 你今天需要做决定。你知道的,而且你知道你的选择。然而它已经被推迟了很久。 Not Making a Choice is a Choice 不做选择也是一个选择 Recently, I was talking to a friend who passed up an opportunity to switch jobs and careers. He was not looking, but an opportunity found him to join a company he respected in a role that really excited him. Yet, he passed. 最近,我与一个刚刚错失了换工作和事业机会的朋友交谈。他没有在找机会,但是一个机会找到了他,希望他加入一个公司,这个公司他很欣赏,而且职位也很诱人。然而他拒绝了。 Well, that’s not entirely accurate. He didn’t pass… he didn’t choose. He didn’t make a decision. He thought about it. He worried, mulled, pondered, and waited. He could not bring himself to an answer. The opportunity passed. The job went to someone else. 好吧,这也不完全准确。他没有拒绝……他只是没有选择,他只是没有做决定。他思考了,他担心了,考虑了,衡量了,等待了。他没有给自己一个答案。机会错失了。这个工作给了别人。 “When you don’t make decisions, life will choose for you.” My friend was scared to make a change. He was afraid of making the wrong choice. He wasn’t sure of himself or the opportunity. Now, he will not know what could have happened. (Good or bad…) |
