“每天一小時挑戰活動”將如何改變你的生活
What is the 1-Hour-A-Day Challenge?
什麼是“每天一小時挑戰活動”？The 1-hour-a-day challenge was created by Benjamin Franklin, who essentially lived by this challenge. He would set aside 1 hour every day to do something different and meaningful that allowed him to achieve a goal to provide himself the time and opportunity to learn and grow as a person while having ‘me-time.’
“每天一小時挑戰活動” 是由本傑明·富蘭克林創立的，他基本上一直生活在這一挑戰之中。他會每天抽出一小時的時間來做一些不同的有意義的事情，來讓自己實現一個目標，在享受“自我時間”的時候，他能夠有機會學習成長爲一個真正的男人。Me-time is something that many people just don’t do anymore let alone make time for; instead, we rush around, trying to complete everything on our schedule daily. Franklin, however, valued this time as an opportunity to do what he pleased and would wake up daily and ask, “What good will I do today?” Similarly, he would end each day by asking “What good have I done today?”
許多人早就不再擁有自己的專屬時間，更別提抽時間出來了；而相反，我們整天忙忙碌碌，努力完成每天日程表上的每一件事情；然而，富蘭克林卻將自己的專屬時間作爲一個機會，來做自己喜歡的事情，而且每天醒來都會問自己“我今天做什麼好呢？”同樣地，他在每天結束的時候都會問自己“我今天都做了什麼好事呢？”
What is the purpose of the 1-Hour-A-Day Challenge?
“每天一小時挑戰活動”的目的是什麼呢？The purpose of this challenge is simple: you set goals for yourself and you accomplish them with the time that you set aside for yourself daily. The point is to learn and continue to grow as a person instead of letting your life take control.
這一挑戰的目的很簡單：你給自己設定目標，然後你每天抽出一段時間給自己，用這段時間來完成你的目標。重點就是學習繼續成長爲真正的一個人，而不是被自己的生活控制自己。I view it as a reminder not to let life pass me by. Think about it: we work, do what we have to do, but we don’t always do what WE want to do. We often say, “Maybe later,” but we never actually come around and act on it. We seem to let our dreams, goals, and me-time pass us by because we have better or more productive things to do.
我將這段時間視爲一個提醒，提醒自己不要讓生活從我身邊溜走。想想這一點：我們工作，做我們必須做的事情，但是我們往往並不是在做我們想做的事情。我們總是說“或許晚點再做吧”，但是我們實際上一直都沒有時間去做自己想做的事情。我們似乎讓自己的夢想，目標和自我時間從身邊溜走了，因爲我們有更好的或者更有成效的事情需要去做。This inadvertently means that life is just slipping by because we put our personal growth, exploration and time for ourselves on pause. The 1-hour-a-day challenge is designed to remind us to grow as a person, and to do things for ourselves in life that make us happy; it is also there to get us to break free of ruts.
這不經意間意味着生活只是在溜走，因爲我們將自己的個人成長，探索和自我時間停止了。“每天一小時挑戰活動”設計的初衷是提醒我們要作爲一個人成長，生活中爲自己做一些讓自己開心的事情；也是讓我們打破陳規的一種方式。
