如果你想改变世界,你就要每天早上起床折被子。
很多人光听到这句话就笑了。
但麦克拉文是认真的:在世界上要求最严苛的特种部队,起床后折好被子是海豹突击队员每天要完成的第一项任务。
麦克拉文说:是折被子,让他学会自律,让他专注细节。更重要的,是从完成这样一件小事开始,获得一天中的第一份成就感。
下面的这段话,夹杂着学生们的笑声,一夜间成了名篇。
“如果早上你铺床了,这相当于你完成了当天的第一个任务,这会给你一个小小的成就感,激励你执行一个又一个的任务。在一天结束的时候,这个已经完成的小任务就会变成很多个大任务。”
If you make your bed every morning you will have accomplished the first task of the day. It will give you a small sense of pride, and it will encourage you to do another task and another and another. By the end of the day, that one task completed will have turned into many tasks completed.
“生活中的小事至关重要,如果小事做不好,你永远无法成就大事业。”
Making your bed will also reinforce the fact that little things in life matter. If you can't do the little things right, you will never do the big things right.
“即使某天你过得不顺利,回家后起码还有一张铺好了的床等着你。这张铺好了的床能鼓舞你期待明天会更好。”
And, if by chance you have a miserable day, you will come home to a bed that is made — that you made — and a made bed gives you encouragement that tomorrow will be better.
总之,如果你想改变世界,就从整理床铺开始。
If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed.
不仅如此,麦克拉文用20分钟的演讲,谈论了改变世界需要的十种特质。
比如,你需要团队合作。
再比如,你要用乐观的心态激励别人和自己。
