照片中这位精神焕发,目光矍铄的男士就是今天 要推荐的博客写作者。说实话,从这张照片真的看不出来他拍照时的年龄,我们只能通过他在博客中的自我介绍推断他不会是个非常年轻的小伙子。为了让大家更多地了解这个博客,我特意将他的自我介绍翻译为中文。也许读过这段介绍文字后您会觉得他不过是又一个喜欢虚张声势的畅销书作家,但他的文章内容确实给了我一些有启发的思考。更重要的是,他写的英文通俗易懂,逻辑清晰,内容也很吸引人,是难得的英文阅读材料。所以,无论是为了学英文还是读畅销书电子版,这个博客都将成为您的理想的选择。
About Steve Pavlina
关于 Steve PavlinaSteve Pavlina is a blue-eyed, colorblind, left-handed, well educated, vegan, lucid dreaming, purpose driven, happily jobless, reality manipulating, meditation practicing, risk taking, goal seeking, problem solving, early rising, passive income generating, highly motivated, energetic, disciplined, persistent, optimistic, fearless, and proactive... writer, speaker, blogger, podcaster, computer programmer, game developer, entrepreneur, husband, father, and archetypal Aries. He is an extroverted introvert, a logical intuitive, and an insatiably curious seeker of truth. Simply put, Steve is one of life's runaway experiments who goes around scaring people until they either ascend to a higher level of consciousness or flee naked into the desert screaming, "The horror, the horror!"
Steve Pavlina 是一个蓝眼睛,色盲,左撇子,受过良好教育,素食主义,梦想清晰,目标驱动,没有职业但很快活,能操控现实,善于深刻思考,有冒险精神,爱寻找目标,会解决问题,喜欢早起,被动式创造收入,高度充满动机,精力旺盛,严守纪律,坚持不懈,乐观主义,无所畏惧,前摄性…… 的作家,演说者,博客,播客,计算机程序员,游戏开发者,企业家,先生,父亲以及原型的白羊座。他拥有外倾型的内向性格,富有逻辑的直觉和追求真理不知满足的精神。简单地说,Steve 就像一个生活的逃跑者实验,他到处吓唬别人,直到那些人的意识提升到更高的层次或者裸奔到荒漠中大声尖叫:"好恐怖!好恐怖啊!" (看完前面我都觉得有点恐怖了……)Steve is intensely growth-oriented. He has run the L.A. Marathon, trained in martial arts, and graduated from college in three semesters with a double-major in Computer Science and Mathematics. He can juggle, count cards at blackjack, and make damned good guacamole. Steve has written over 400 articles on personal development, covering topics such as productivity, courage, motivation, and finding your purpose in life. Many of Steve's articles have been translated into other languages including Russian, German, and Japanese, and Steve has been featured in the New York Times and USA Today. His web site, StevePavlina.com, receives over 2,000,000 page views per month, and his popular personal development blog has been recognized as one of the top 500 blogs in the world.
Steve 又是一个强烈面向成长的男士,他参加过洛杉矶马拉松,受过武术训练,只用了三个学期就修完计算机科学和数学的双学位并大学毕业。他能表演杂耍,在 21 点中记牌,做超级好吃的鳄梨酱。Steve 在个人性格发展方面撰写了超过 400 篇文章,涵盖了包括生产力,勇气,动机和寻找生活目的等多方面内容。其中的许多文章被翻译为其它语言文字,包括俄语,德语和日本语等。此外,Steve 还曾经荣登纽约时报和今日美国等报刊。他的个人站点 StevePavlina.com 每个月都能获得超过 2,000,000 的页浏览量,而他大受欢迎的个人性格发展博客也被公认为全球前 500 名博客之一。(吹牛不上税,呵呵)Steve's purpose in life is:
to live consciously and courageously;
to enjoy, increase, and share peace, energy, passion, and wealth;
to resonate with love and compassion;
to awaken the great spirits within others;
and to fully embrace this present moment.
Steve 的生活目的是:
活得清醒而有勇气;
享用、增添和分享安宁,精力,激情和财富;
用爱和同情唤起共鸣;
唤醒他人心中的伟大灵魂;
充分地拥抱当前的每时每刻。……
看完这段文字我首先想到了那位大言不惭的 王建硕,最早看他的博客时也看到过那么一段 看似自吹自擂的精彩个人描述。几年前我还以为这是不谦逊的表现,现在却觉得这才是真正的勇气。只有勇于把自己的特点充分显露出来,不在乎别人的嫉妒和冷眼,更不怕班门弄斧遭人耻笑,才能早日发现和面对自身的不足,让自己的素质和人格获得更全面的提升。
言归正传,最近几天这位 Steve 先生描述了一个开车撞人致死的 司机朋友的痛苦经历,虽然被撞的老人是酒后骑车,主要责任不在这位朋友,但他还是内疚不已。在这种情况下,我们这位充满活力的 Steve 先生将如何帮助他 走出阴影 呢?敬请浏览 http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/

读了一遍英文,又读了一遍中文,去了他的网站,还是第一次去 :X)
中国人很少有这么敢做自我介绍的,敢这么说者如王,有在跨国公司工作的经历,也算吃了"洋墨水“。东西方文化的差别,一个张扬个性,一个在制度下一点点地泯灭。

:D 说那么严重,行为方式不同嘛,中国的文化历史比西方长的多,也许很久以前中国人也一个个都是这样呢。
