You may know this feeling:you wake up to multiple unread notifications on your mobile phone.Your calendar is already packed with meetings,sometimes double-or triple-booked.You feel engaged,you feel busy.你可能知道这种感觉：起床时，手机上已经有一堆未读通知。你的日程已经塞满了会议行程，有时还有两、三场会议时间重叠。你觉得有事做，你觉得很忙。

00:27
In fact,you feel productive.But at the end of it all,something still feels missing.You try to figure out what it is.But before you do,the next day starts all over again.That was how I felt two years ago.
事实上，你觉得很有生产力。但在一切都结束时，仍然觉得少了点什么。你试着想出是少了什么。但在你想出来之前，隔天的重复循坏又开始了。我两年前就是这种感觉。

I felt stressed;I felt anxious.I felt a bit trapped.The world around me was moving very quickly.And I didn’t know what to do.I started wondering to myself:How do I keep up with all this?How do we find fulfillment in a world that’s literally changing as fast as we can think,or maybe even faster?
我觉得有压力；我觉得很焦虑。我觉得有点被困住了。我周围的世界转动得好快。我不知道如何是好。我开始问我自己：我要如何跟上这一切？我们要如何在这个变化到几乎和我们思考的速度一样快或者说更快的世界找到满足感？

01:16
I started looking for answers.I spoke to many people,I spoke to my friends,I spoke to my family.I even read many self-help books.But I couldn't find anything satisfactory.In fact,the more self-help books I read,the more stressed and anxious I became.
我开始寻找答案.我和很多人谈过，我和我的朋友谈过，我和我的家人谈过。我甚至读了很多自助书籍。但我找不到任何满意的答案。事实上，我读越多自助书籍，我反而变得更有压力、更焦虑。

01:35
It was like I was feeding my I mind with junk food,and I was becoming mentally obese.I was about to give up,until one day,I found this.：The Tao Te Ching:The Book of the Way and Its Virtue.This is an ancient Chinese philosophy classic that was written more than 2,600 years ago.
这就像我用垃圾食品喂我的大脑，我因此也在精神上变得肥胖。我快要放弃了，直到有一天，我发现了这个:《道德经：谈道和德的书籍》。这是一部至少有两千六百年历史的中国古代哲学经典。

And it was by far the thinnest and the smallest book on the bookshelf.It only had 81 pages.And each page had a short poem.I remember I flipped to one particular poem.Here it is.It’s beautiful,isn’t it?Let me read it out to you.
它是书架上最薄最小的一本书，只有八十一页。每一页都有一首短诗。我记得，我翻到一首诗。在这里。让我读给你们听。
（上善若水。水善利万物而不争，处众人之所恶。居，善地；心，善渊；与，善仁；言，善信；政，善治；事，善能；动，善时。夫唯不争，故无尤。《道德经·第八章》)

02:22
【The supreme goodness is like water.至高的善就像是水。
It benefits all things without contention.它让万物受惠，不与万物相争
In dwelling,it stays grounded.静止时，它谦虚待在低处
In being,it flows to depths.流动时，它渊博沉静
In expression,it is honest.表现时，它清晰有诚信
In confrontation,it stays gentle.对质时，它维持温和柔善
In governance,it does not control.在治理时，它不求控制
In action,it agings to timing.在行动时，它会顺应时势
It is content with its nature and therefore cannot be faulted.因为它无所争，也就不会有所怨艾】

02:55
Wow!I remember when I first read this passage.I felt the biggest chills down my spine.I still feel that today,reading it to you guys.My anxiety and stress just suddenly disappeared.Ever since that day,I’ve been trying to apply the concepts in this passage to my day-to-day life.
哇！我记得我第一次读到这段文字时，我明显感到脊背发凉。今天读给各位听时，我都还有这感觉。我的焦虑和压力突然就消失了。那天以后，我就一直试图将这段文字中的概念应用到我的日常生活当中。

03:17
And today,I’d like to share with you three lessons I learned so far from this philosophy of water--three lessons that I believe have helped me find greater fulfillment in almost everything that I do.
今天，我想要和你们分享我目前从水的哲学中学到的三课。我相信正是这三课协助了我，让我几乎在所做的每一件事情中，都能找到更大的满足感。

03:30
The first lesson is about humility.If we think about water flowing in a river,it is always staying low.It helps all the plants grow and keeps all the animals a-l-i-v-e.It doesn’t actually draw any attention to itself,nor does it need any reward or recognition.It is humble.
第一课和谦卑有关。如果我们想想在河流中流动的水，它一直都是低姿态的。它协助各种植物生长，维持所有动物的生命。水不会把注意力拉到自己身上，也不需要任何奖赏或是认可。水是谦逊的。

03:50
But without water’s humble contribution,life as we know it may not exist.Water’s humility taught me a few important things.It taught me that instead of acting like I know what I’m doing or I have all the answers,it’s perfectly OK to say,I don’t know.I want to learn more,and I need your help.
但若没有水的谦逊贡献，我们所知道的生命就不会存在。水的谦虚教给我几件重要的事。它教我，不用表现得我知道我在做什么，或是我有所有的答案。我完全可以大方的说：我不知道。我想要学更多，我需要你的协助。

04:12
It also taught me that,instead of promoting my glory and success,it is so much more satisfying to promote the success and glory of others.It taught me that,instead of doing things where I can get ahead,it so much more fulfilling and meaningful to help other people overcome their challenges so they can succeed.
水也教我，不用去宣传我的荣耀和成功，宣传他人的荣耀和成功才是更让人满足的。水教给我，我要做的不是让我能领先别人的事，更有意义也更让人满足的是协助他人克服他们的挑战，让他们能够成功。

04:33
With a humble mindset,I was able to form a lot richer connections with the people around me.I became genuinely interested in the stories and experiences that make them unique and magical.Life became a lot more fun,because every day I’d discover new quirks,new ideas and new solutions to problems I didn’t know before,All thanks to the ideas and help from others.
有了谦逊的心态，我得以和我身边的人建立更丰富满足的连结。我变得真心好奇，想了解是什么故事和经验让他们如此独特且迷人。生活变得更有趣了，因为我每天都能发现新的奇思妙想、新的点子，以及新的问题解决方案，都是我以前不知道的。所有的都要归功于这些想法以及他人的协助。
