开始前的正式邀请 Before the formal invitation

目前在我写这段字的时候距离2017年结束还有2天，在这之前大概一个月的时间我开始真的翻译专栏的文章，当然，距离我有这个想法大概又是两个月不止了。而这距离专栏更新结束已经有半年时间，这半年时间我自己有慢吞吞，有新发现，有无数困惑痛苦，也有无数解惑成长。从在steemit上注册开始，就有想究竟写些什么文章放到这上面，才是既有成长又不耽误自己平时的作业的呢？

我的成长，可以说是在2016年的7月之后开始的，因为无意中发现了这个专栏才有了真正不一样的改变。在那之前我曾经浑浑噩噩了大半年时间，每天都对未来有着无限期望，但又痛苦于自己的一无所有中。虽然后来靠画画开始找到了点感觉，但不得不说遇到这个专栏后，是真的遇到了成长的加速器。

我也不想说什么曾经有多差，以及现在有多好这样给出对比的内容，因为说实话，早从2016年年底开始我就逐渐的发现，一个月后的自己都可以看不上一个月前的自己了。而且，如果真的说现在有多好，那我其实很清楚自己的纠结与痛苦，自己很清楚自己的迟钝与匆忙的地方，我还有太多自己不满意的地方，还有太多没有解决的事情。

之所以选择在这里放上英文版的专栏内容，一方面为了锻炼自己的翻译能力；另一方面也是因为steemit是一个国际性的地方，放出英文版可以帮助更多的人，真的有困惑的也可以直接@Lilijing。

当然，我不做无用功，也不希望读文章的人匆忙之下做无用功，所以有些事咱们要先说清楚：

1.着急没用；
2.内容会持续更新一年，所以别妄想读一篇文章就“财富自由”；
3.一遍读不懂、读的不痛快、没仔细读——可以多读几遍；
4.单纯阅读本身，几乎没有任何价值；
5.阅读之后的思考，思考之后的选择，选择之后的行动才有价值；
6.只有持续正确的行动才可能有积累效果，才可能引发真正有意义的变化；
7.“成长”——没有终点，好像天下有读不尽的书一般。不要在取得一定成绩后就懈怠，不是前功尽弃，而是——那之前费那么大劲干什么呢？

希望更多的人在时光不断的过程中，收获更多的快乐。

我自己的翻译力+Google+百度翻译依然会有很多想不到的瑕疵，望谅解，有错误可以随时指正，感谢。

At the moment, I wrote this article is only two days of the end of 2017. Before that, about a month ago I started translating column articles. Of course, it’s more than two months since I got this idea. This distance columin update has been completed for six months, in the past six months, I have new discoveries, numerour puzzles pain, and numerous growth. From the Steemit login start, I have to think about what to write some articles, and how can not only growth but also do not delay myself usual works?

My growth can be said to have started in July 2016 after, has unintentionally found that this column and then has a really different change. Before that I had a six months time to muddle along without any aim, every day there are infinite expectations for the future, but sad immersed in one’s own nothing. Although later on painting began to find a little feeling, but I have to say that after this column, I really met the growth accelerator.

I don’t want to say how bad I used to be, and how good it is now. As a matter of fact, as early as the end of 2016, I gradually found that one month later I already don’t like a month ago myself. And, if I really say how good I’m now, in fact I’m very clear about my entanglements and pains. I’m very clear about my slowness and haste, I have too much dissatisfaction with myself, there are still too many unsolved things.

The reason why I choose to put the English content is here, in order to exercise my translation ability; on the other hand, it is also because Steemit is an international place, releasing the English version can help more people. Really puzzled, can also directly @Lilijing.

Of course, I don’t do unuseful work, also don’t want to read the article to do unuseful work in haste, so some things we have to make it clear:

1.Urgently useless;
2.The content will continue to be renewed for a year, so don’t imagine to read an article then can “financial freedom”;
3.Once don’t read the meaning, dissatisfaction with reading, doesn’t read it carefully: can read it several times;
4.Simply reading itself, almost no value;
5.The thinking after reading, the choice after thinking, the action after the choice is valuable;
6.Only sustained and correct action can have a cumulative effect that can lead to real meaningful change;
7.“Growth” - there is no end, as if there is endless book in the world. Don’t slash after you have achieved certain results, not to give up, but rather why fee so hard before that?

I hope that more people will reap more happiness in the process of time.

My own translation force + Google + Baidu translation still has a lot of unexpected flaws, hope understanding, error can be corrected at any time, thanks.
