介绍： 2 Be humble-and other lessons from the philosophy of water
保持谦卑—水的哲学教会给我们的道理

All streams eventually flow to the ocean because it is lower than them.Humility gives water its power.But I think it gives us the capacity to remain grounded,to be present,to learn from and be transformed by the stories of the people around us.
所有的溪流最终都会流入海洋，因为海洋比它们还要低。水的力量来自谦虚。但我认为，它让我们有足够的能力可以保持脚踏实地，可以活在当下，可以从身边人的故事中学到东西并产生改变。

00:21
The second lesson I learned is about harmony.If we think about water flowing towards a rock,it will just flow around it.It doesn’t get upset,it doesn’t get angry,it doesn’t get agitated.In fact,it doesn’t feel much at all.
我学到的第二课与和谐有关。想想看，当水流向一块石头时，水只会绕过它。它不会沮丧，它不会生气，它不会激动。事实上，它几乎不会有感觉。

00:36
When faced with an obstacle,somehow water finds a solution,without force,without conflict.When I was thinking through this,I began to understand w-h-y I was feeling stressed out in the first place.
当面临障碍时，水会以某种方式找到解决方案，不用武力，不用冲突当我在思考这一点时，我开始了解为什么我一开始会紧张有压力。

00:51
Instead of working in harmony with my environment,I was working against it.I was forcing things to change because I was consumed by the need to succeed or to prove myself.In the end,nothing did.
我并没有和我的环境和谐相处，反而是在对抗它。我试图强迫事物改变，因为我强烈的需要成功或证明自己。最终，什么都没改变。

01:04
And I got more frustrated.By simply shifting my focus from trying to achieve more success to trying to achieve more harmony,I was immediately able to feel calm and focused again.
我就更感到挫折。只要简单地把我的注意力转移，从达成更多的成就转移到试图达成更多的和谐，我马上就能够感受到平静以及专注。

01:17
I started asking questions like:Will this action bring me greater harmony and bring more harmony to my environment?Does this align with my nature?
我开始问这样的问题：这么做是否会带给我更大的和谐？带给我的环境更多的和谐？这和我的天性吻合吗？

01:28
I became more comfortable simply being who I am,rather than who I’m supposed to be or expected to be.Work actually became easier,because I stopped focusing on things that I cannot control and only on the things that I can.
我变得能够更自在地做自己，而不是做我应该成为的人，或被期望成为的人。工作变得更容易了，因为我不再把注意力放在我无法控制的事上，只放在我能控制的事上。

01:42
I stopped fighting with myself,and I learned to work with my environment to solve its problems.Nature does not hurry.Yet,everything is accomplished.That’s Tao Te Ching’s way of describing the power of harmony.
我不再和自己斗争，我学会和我的环境合作，来解决它的问题。大自然并不匆忙，然而一切都完成了。那就是《道德经》描述和谐力量的方式。

02:00
Just as water is able to find a solution without force or conflict,I believe we can find a greater sense of fulfillment in our endeavors by shifting focus from achieving more success to achieving more harmony.
就像水能够找到不用武力或冲突的方式来解决问题一样，我相信，在我们的努力尝试中，我们也能找到更高的满足感，只要把注意力从达成更多的成就转移到达成更多的和谐。

02:15
The third lesson I learned from the philosophy of water is about openness.Water is open to change.Depending on the temperature,it can be a liquid,solid or gas.
我从水的哲学中所学到的第三课和开放有关。水对于改变是开放的。依温度的不同，它可以是液态、固态，或气态。

02:28
Depending on the medium it’s in,it can be a teapot,a cup or a flower vase.In fact,it’s water’s ability to adapt and change and remain flexible that made it so enduring through the ages,despite all the changes in the environment.
依它所在的媒介物，它可以是茶壶、杯子，或花瓶。事实上，水有能力去适应、去改变，还能维持弹性，这让它能世世代代持续下去，不论环境如何改变。

02:44
We also l-i-v- in a world today of constant change.We can no longer expect to work to a static job description or follow a single career path.We,too,are expected to constantly reinvent and refresh our skills to stay relevant.
现今，我们也居住在一个时常改变的世界中，我们不能期待工作内容不会改变，也不能只循着单一的职涯路。我们也被期许要经常重塑和更新我们的技能，才能保有重要性。

03:01
In our organization,we host a lot of hackathons,where small groups or individuals come together to solve a business problem in a compressed time frame.
在我们的组织里，会举行许多骇客马拉松，小团体或是个人来参加，在一段有限的时间之内要解决一个商业问题。

03:09
And what’s interesting to me is that the teams that usually wins are not the ones with the most experienced team members,but the ones with members who are open to learn,who are open to unlearn and who are open to helping each other navigate through the changing circumstances.
让我很感兴趣的是，通常胜出的团队，他们的队员通常都不是最有经验的，而是愿意开放学习的，也愿意开放舍弃既有想法的，还能开放地协助彼此，在不断改变的情境中找到方向。

03:26
Life is like a hackathon in some way.It’s calling to each and every one of us to step up,to open up and cause a ripple effect.Now,we can stay behind closed doors and continue to be paralyzed by our self-limiting deliefs,such as:I will never be able to talk about Chinese philosophy in front of a huge audience.
在某种层面上，人生就像骇客马拉松。它在呼唤我们每个人，站出来，打开心胸，制造出涟漪效应。我们可以待在关闭的门后，继续消极气馁，只因为我们的信念限制了自己，如：我永远不可能对着广大观众，谈中国哲学。

03:48
Or we can just open up and enjoy the ride.It can only be an amazing experience.So humility,harmony and openness.Those are the three lessons I learned from the philosophy of water so far.They nicely abbreviate to H-H-O or H2O.
或者，我们也可以打开自己，享受过程。它只有可能是很棒的经验。谦虚、和谐，以及开放。这些是我目前从水的哲学中所学到的三课。它们可以缩写成H-H-O(谦虚=H、和谐=H、开放=O)，或H2O(谦虚=H、和谐=H、开放=O)。

04:07
And they have become my guiding principles in life.So nowdays,whenever I feel stressed,unfulfilled,anxious or just not sure what to do,I simply ask the question:What would water do?
它们已经变成了我的人生指引原则。所以现在当我感到有压力、不满足、焦虑，或只是不确定该怎么做时，我就只是问这个问题：水会怎么做？

04:23
This simple and powerful question inspired by a book written long before the days of bitcoin,fintech and digital technology has changed my life for the better.Try it,and let me know how it works for you.I would love to hear from you.Thank you!
这个简单又有力的问题是被一本书激发，这本早在比特币、金融科技、数位科技出现之前就存在的书，让我的人生变得更好了。试试看，再告诉我它对你的帮助如何。我很乐意停听到你们的回音。
