堅持改變30天，看看小程序員創造出什麼奇蹟
A few years ago, I felt like I was stuck in a rut, so I decided to follow in the footsteps of the great American philosopher, Morgan Spurlock, and try something new for 30 days.
幾年前，我感覺我的生活如一潭死水。所以我決定效仿美國偉大的哲學家摩根.史柏路克，花三十天嘗試些新事物。
The first was, instead of the months flying by, forgotten, the time was much more memorable. This was part of a challenge I did to take a picture everyday for a month. And I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing that day.
第一，這一個月並非毫無痕跡地飛速流逝，相反，這段時間令我記憶深刻，這是我進行的一項挑戰，連續一個月，每天拍攝一張照片。我記得清清楚楚，當天我在哪裏，做了什麼事。
I also noticed that as I started to do more and harder 30-day challenges, my self-confidence grew. I went from desk-dwelling computer nerd to the kind of guy who bikes to work -- for fun. Even last year, I ended up hiking up Mt. Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa. I would never have been that adventurous before I started my 30-day challenges.
我還注意到，當我開始進行更多更難的三十天挑戰時，我的自信心也隨之增加，之前我是一個死宅程序員，而現在，我會騎自行車上班，只是因爲有趣。甚至在去年，我登上了乞力馬扎羅山，非洲的最高峯。在開始三十天挑戰之前，我從未有過這樣的冒險之旅。
Every November, tens of thousands of people try to write their own 50,000-word novel from scratch in 30 days. It turns out, all you have to do is write 1,667 words a day for a month. So I did. By the way, the secret is not to go to sleep until you’ve written your words for the day. You might be sleep-deprived, but you’ll finish your novel.
每年十一月，數萬人想要從零開始寫一本五萬字的小說，在三十天內寫完。結果證明，你只需連續一個月每天寫1667個字。我就是這樣做的，順便說一下，祕訣就是不寫完1667字就不去睡覺，雖然睡眠被剝奪了，但你將會寫完小說。
I learned that when I made small, sustainable changes, things I could keep doing, they were more likely to stick.
我發現進行較小並且持續的改變，做些我能一直進行下去的事，這些習慣就很有可能堅持下去。
So here’s my question to you: What are you waiting for? I guarantee you the next 30 days are going to pass whether you like it or not, so why not think about something you have always wanted to try and give it a shot for the next 30 days.
我想問大家：你們還在等什麼呢？我向你們保證，不管你是否願意，接下來三十天總會過去。爲什麼不考慮下你一直想做的事情呢？在接下來三十天開始嘗試吧！
