人生只有一次，如何找到目標-中英對照
Your job is important and part of what defines you as who you are. However, in order to be truly successful in life you need to be balanced. After fifteen years in the Information Technology industry, I have learned a few lessons that have helped me maintain my sanity at work.
你(ni)的(de)工(gong)作很重要，它(ta)是你(ni)所(suo)扮演的(de)角色(se)定義(yi)的(de)一部分(fen)。但是，要想真正取得成功，你(ni)需要平衡你(ni)的(de)生活。在信息技術行業工(gong)作十(shi)五年之(zhi)后，我(wo)學到了一些經驗，幫助(zhu)我(wo)保持工(gong)作中(zhong)的(de)理智。

Hobbies
愛好
Key for me has always been to have hobbies and interests out side of work. It doesn't matter what you do, but you need time away from your work, time away from your family and time that is strictly yours for enjoyment. This blog for example is one of my new hobbies and a way to stretch my mind. For others it might be some board game or even something like Geocaching (Ties into the active life I talk about below). Without hobbies, or at least a time to decompress, I feel that by the end of the week I'm dead and no use to my family all weekend long.
工作(zuo)之余(yu)的(de)(de)愛(ai)(ai)好(hao)和(he)(he)興趣對我來(lai)說很重(zhong)要。做什(shen)么(me)并不重(zhong)要，關鍵是(shi)你擁(yong)有(you)(you)完全屬(shu)于自己享受(shou)的(de)(de)時間，不去想(xiang)(xiang)工作(zuo)和(he)(he)家庭。舉個例子(zi)，這個博客(ke)就是(shi)我的(de)(de)新愛(ai)(ai)好(hao)之一，用來(lai)表達自己的(de)(de)想(xiang)(xiang)法。還有(you)(you)一些游戲或甚至像Geocaching（我下(xia)面將談到的(de)(de)戶外運動(dong)）。沒有(you)(you)愛(ai)(ai)好(hao)，或者解(jie)壓的(de)(de)時間，我想(xiang)(xiang)在周(zhou)末時我已經精疲力(li)盡，沒有(you)(you)什(shen)么(me)可以帶給(gei)家人。

Family
家庭
Put family first... This doesn't mean to be a clock watcher at work, but make sure that you leave your work at work and make time for your family. I have kids and I make sure I'm there for supper almost every night. Make sure that you spend time with your wife, husband, significant other (And watching TV doesn't count). My life overall runs a lot better when I make sure I give time to my wife and kids.
把家庭放在首位……這并不(bu)是指(zhi)工作時(shi)一(yi)(yi)味想(xiang)著(zhu)回家的(de)時(shi)間，但一(yi)(yi)定要抽出時(shi)間給家人。我有(you)孩子(zi)，我幾乎每天都(dou)和(he)他們(men)一(yi)(yi)起吃晚(wan)餐(can)。記得多陪陪你的(de)妻子(zi)、丈(zhang)夫和(he)其他重要家人（僅看電視是不(bu)行的(de)）。我只(zhi)要有(you)時(shi)間和(he)妻子(zi)孩子(zi)在一(yi)(yi)起，我的(de)生活(huo)總體感覺還不(bu)錯。

Active life
戶外運動
This is my #1. If I don't run, play soccer, rock climb or do something active, I tend to be grumpy and irritable. This is the way I deal with my stress, this is not only something that makes me feel good, but it means that when I'm at work, I can focus on work.
這是我的最愛。如果我不跑步、踢足球、攀巖或其它運動，我的脾氣就會很暴躁。這是我舒緩壓力的方式，這并不只是讓我感覺良好，而且讓我能集中精力工作。
Take time a few times a week, look at what is offered in your area and go for it. If you can't find anything, consider running. Running is easy to get started and cheap... You can also do it anywhere in the world. I've traveled quite a bit in life and running is something that you can do no matter where you are (Sometimes it can be hard to find the motivation when its below 25°C and you need the right gear, but you still can do it).
一周幾次，就近取材(cai)。如果找不(bu)(bu)(bu)到合適的，考慮跑步。跑步不(bu)(bu)(bu)擇場地(di)，且成本不(bu)(bu)(bu)高，可(ke)是(shi)在(zai)世(shi)界上任(ren)何地(di)方隨時(shi)(shi)開始。我一生中(zhong)旅(lv)行(xing)過很多次，跑步是(shi)不(bu)(bu)(bu)論在(zai)任(ren)何地(di)方都能做到的（當(dang)氣(qi)溫低于25攝(she)氏度(du)時(shi)(shi)你會覺得沒有動(dong)力，但是(shi)你還是(shi)可(ke)以做的）。

Time for personal reflection
個人反思的時間
Personal reflection means that I take time for myself, make sure my life is where I want it to be, and if it isn't, to think about how I can get it to where I need it to be. I know this sounds cliche, but we only have one life to live and I feel like I'd better not waste mine. I love my work, my family and the experiences I have had in my life and taking the time to reflect makes me feel like all those goals I haven't reached yet are attainable if I stay focused and on course.
個(ge)人反思意味(wei)著(zhu)(zhu)我(wo)(wo)(wo)為自己花時(shi)(shi)間來(lai)確保(bao)生(sheng)活是按照(zhao)我(wo)(wo)(wo)想(xiang)要的(de)(de)(de)方(fang)式(shi)運行的(de)(de)(de)。如不(bu)是，想(xiang)想(xiang)怎樣才能達到我(wo)(wo)(wo)的(de)(de)(de)目(mu)(mu)標。我(wo)(wo)(wo)知道這(zhe)聽著(zhu)(zhu)很老套，但是我(wo)(wo)(wo)們(men)的(de)(de)(de)人生(sheng)只有一次，我(wo)(wo)(wo)們(men)最好不(bu)要浪費(fei)時(shi)(shi)間。我(wo)(wo)(wo)愛我(wo)(wo)(wo)的(de)(de)(de)工作，我(wo)(wo)(wo)的(de)(de)(de)家庭，以及我(wo)(wo)(wo)的(de)(de)(de)人生(sheng)經歷，花時(shi)(shi)間反思讓我(wo)(wo)(wo)明(ming)白如果我(wo)(wo)(wo)繼續關(guan)注并努力(li)，那些尚未(wei)達到的(de)(de)(de)目(mu)(mu)標是可行的(de)(de)(de)。
