來(lái)源：公眾號(hào)“肆有青年”

今天，我們的老朋友、百萬(wàn)級(jí)暢銷(xiāo)書(shū)《原則》的作者、橋水基金 CEO 瑞·達(dá)利歐（Ray Dalio），給你送來(lái)了 2019 年的新年祝福。

當(dāng)然，還有他全網(wǎng)獨(dú)一份的新年知識(shí)禮物——

到底是什么呢，一起來(lái)看看吧：

視頻全文中英對(duì)照：

首先，我要祝你新年行大運(yùn)！

I want to wish you a great New Year.

希望你最想實(shí)現(xiàn)的愿望今年都能成真。

May your most important wishes come true.

最近有人問(wèn)我，我書(shū)中的那些“原則”，真能幫助他實(shí)現(xiàn)美好的愿望嗎？

I was recently asked about how Principles could help make that happen.

特別是新年想立的 Flag。

Especially through your New Year's resolutions.

回答這個(gè)問(wèn)題，我第一時(shí)間想到的

What immediately popped into my mind

是你是否清楚你自己最大的弱點(diǎn)是什么，

is the power of identifying your one big thing,

然后想辦法化解它。

and eliminating it as a barrier.

每個(gè)人都至少有一個(gè)特別難纏的弱點(diǎn)。

Everyone has at least one big thing.

你的這個(gè)難搞的弱點(diǎn)是什么呢？

So, what's your one big thing?

它是你積重難返的陋習(xí)，它是你因循守舊的沉疴，

It's your one, multi-year weakness or impediment

它是當(dāng)你每一次想要大展身手的時(shí)候，總會(huì)捆住你的絆腳石。

that repeatedly stands in the way of you getting the outcomes you want.

如我在《原則》里講的，

As explained in Principles,

每個(gè)人的弱點(diǎn)其實(shí)都有套路，你每次跌倒的時(shí)候都能察覺(jué)到它的影子。

everyone has weaknesses revealed by the patterns of mistakes they make.

通往成功的捷徑，就是找到你的絆腳石，然后凝視它，狠狠地凝視它！

The fastest path to success starts with knowing what your weaknesses are and staring hard at them.

如果你不確定你最難纏的弱點(diǎn)是什么，

If you're not sure what your one big thing is,

把你心中的痛苦寫(xiě)下來(lái)，把你犯過(guò)的錯(cuò)誤寫(xiě)下來(lái)，

write down your pains and mistakes,

試著去打通它們之間的內(nèi)在聯(lián)系，

and connect the dots between them,

如果你還是想不通，你就去問(wèn)問(wèn)你身邊的人。

or ask others.

一旦你找到了你最大的弱點(diǎn)，把它寫(xiě)下來(lái)——一定要加粗、大寫(xiě)！

Once you identify that one big thing, write it down in big letters.

然后把它粘到你抬頭不見(jiàn)低頭見(jiàn)的地方，

Stick it up somewhere so you will see it regularly.

天天盯著它。

Stare at it regularly.

然后做下一件事：想一想怎么化解它。

Now, commit to eliminating it as as barrier and start thinking of how.

有兩種辦法：

There are two ways to eliminate your barriers:

一種辦法，你可以在哪兒跌倒，就在哪兒爬起來(lái)，

You can get strong where you are weak,

另一種辦法，你在哪兒跌倒，就去請(qǐng)教一位不會(huì)在這兒跌倒的高人，為你指點(diǎn)迷津。

or you can get help from others who are strong where you are weak.

我的經(jīng)驗(yàn)是，找別人指點(diǎn)迷津往往是效率最高的，

Typically, getting the help from others where you are weak is the most effective path,

因?yàn)槌哂兴?，寸有所長(zhǎng)——人人各有其短長(zhǎng)，

because nature gave you strengths and weaknesses,

而人們往往又都是江山易改，本性難移。

and it's very difficult to change them.

所以要盯住你最大的弱點(diǎn)，讓它盤(pán)旋在你的腦海里，揮之不去，

By identifying your one big thing and by constantly keeping it top of mind,

你會(huì)為之抓狂，你會(huì)覺(jué)得如鯁在喉，

so that it annoys you, like a pebble in your shoe,

你會(huì)逼著自己四處找人，求醫(yī)問(wèn)藥，

and by seeking people's help to eliminate it,

你就能自然而然地，把它給“大事化小，小事化了”。

you will naturally reduce it as a barrier.

當(dāng)你能見(jiàn)招拆招，化解它，勇敢地邁過(guò)去，你的生活就會(huì)發(fā)生質(zhì)的變化。

And by reducing it as a barrier, you will radically improve your life.

如果說(shuō)新的一年，我給你準(zhǔn)備了什么禮物，

If there's one gift I can give you,

那就是把我的心法傳授給你，教你做好這一件事。

it would be to do that well.

祝你新年快樂(lè)！

Happy New Year.

So, what's your One Big Thing?
