Don t Put A Photo Filter On Your Life
In the world that we live in today, we are
constantly bombarded with social media
depicting everyone』s happy lives. We often
only see the most liked images; and on
our social media it seems that everyone is
travelling, having fun, and living dream
like lives.
在我們今天生活的這個世界裡，我們
經常被社交媒體描繪每個人的幸福
生活的信息轟炸。我們通常只看點贊
最多的圖片；在我們的社交媒體上，
似乎每個人都在旅行，享受著生活的
樂趣和生活。
The sad thing that arises from this is that
we as a society around the world are creating
an environment that encourages people to
create a perfect life on social media that is
often in contrast to our reality. I can』t tell you
how often I will see people that I know post
photos of themselves on holiday 3 weeks
after their holiday.
由此產生的可悲之處在於，我們身處的
社會正在創造這樣一種環境，它鼓勵人們
在社交媒體上創造完美的生活，而這往往
與我們的現實相反。我不想告訴你我有
多經常會看到我認識的朋友在度完假三個
星期後才發出他們的照片。
Photos they have saved up to post and share
despite being at work. Another example is
the amount of editing software out there,
which makes photos seem far more beautiful
than in reality. I honestly found it fascinating
watching a close friend of mine who is an
excellent photographer.
他們把這些照片存起來然後分享，儘管
那時的他們正在工作。另一個例子是P圖
軟體的數量。說實話，我覺得我的朋友
真的很了不起，他是一位優秀的攝影師。
He took what Ibelieved and I think most of
the worldbelieved an average photo. Then
usingsoftware transformed this image, into
one of the most stunning photos I have seen,
adding in colour, fading things out and
creating his masterpiece.
他拿出一張我，或者說是世界上大部分
人看到都會覺得很普通的照片。然後，
用軟體把它P 成了我見過最令人驚艷的
照片之一，加了點顏色，淡出畫面，
他的傑作就誕生了。
Even though this is fascinating to watch, it is
sad that this is what the world has come to.
It is natural for people to start to want to be
perfect in this social media environment.
However, it』s not just this that plays an effect
on our lives.
即便這確實讓人賞心悅目，但不得不說
世界變成了這樣還是有些令人悲哀。
在社交媒體的環境下，人們很自然地
想要變得更完美。然而，這並不總是
有利的。
The social circles we are in, our upbringings
often deem failure as a bad thing. You can』t
fail and get things wrong; instead you should
be getting excellent results consistently.
身處這樣的社交圈，我們內心總是把失敗
看作一件不好的事。你不可以失敗，也不
可以做錯事，相反的，你需要永遠保持
優秀。
The sad thing about this is that it forces people
to become scared of moving out of their comfort
zone in case they do something wrong. They
may say something that is incorrect or create
many mistakes while taking on a new challenge.
Moving on from here you would think that a few
mistakes would be fine. However, this is where
instant gratification kicks in.
悲哀的事這讓許多人由於害怕失敗遲遲不
肯踏出自己的舒適圈。他們可能會在嘗試
新挑戰時說這麼做是錯誤的，或者會造成
很多問題。在離開舒適圈時犯點錯時正常
的。然而經常會產生即刻滿足的問題。
We want everything instantaneously. A successful
business, a passionate relationship, financial
freedom and to be perfect at all the new things
we do. This stems from technology giving us all
we need at a click of a button, we can order food
to our door, clothes online, almost anything you
want, you can get the next day.
我們想要的東西，現在就要。成功的事業，
激情的關係，財務自由，我們做的事，方方
面面，我們都希望它是完美的。這源於如今
便捷技術，任何我們想要的東西，點點滑鼠，
按下按鈕，點的外賣，網上買的衣服，幾乎
任何你想要的東西，第二天就送到了家門口。
When we come across a challenge that takes
moretime this is where our whole nervous
system becomes confused as to why it』s taking
so long to master; why can』t we have it now?
If you are like most people you will understand
what I am talking about.
當我們遇到一個耗時長久的挑戰時，整個
焦慮系統就自動啟動了，困惑它為什麼要
花這麼長時間，為什麼我們不能現在就要。
如果你和大多數人一樣，你應該能明白我
在說什麼。不過，我們沒必要就這一點深
入下去。
However, there is no need for this to carry on.
Now that you have the awareness I want us to
create a new path for you,which starts with the
following question:
"Why is failure an amazingthing?"
Spend 5 minutes answering this now.
既然你已經意識到了這一點，我想我們
可以開始一個新的方向，首先問問自己：
為什麼失敗是一件很棒的事情？
現在花五分鐘考慮一下問題的答案吧。
