It's so easy to get discouraged 人真的特别容易泄气,

watching someone who's really good at something. 尤其是看着别人在某件事上做得那么棒的时候。

When I started running, 我刚开始跑步那会儿,

I'd see people glide past me like it cost them nothing, 总能看到别人从我身边轻轻松松地超过去,好像毫不费力似的,

while I was red-faced and gasping after ten minutes. 而我才跑了十分钟就满脸通红、上气不接下气。

It made me feel like I just wasn't made for it. 这让我觉得,自己根本就不是这块料。

But then I reminded myself of something important. 但后来我提醒了自己一件很重要的事。

I was comparing my first week to their fifth year. 我是在拿自己的第一周,去跟人家的第五年比。

That person gliding past me was once exactly where I am now. 那个轻松超过去的人,曾经也完全处于我现在这个状态。

We only ever see people at their current level, 我们永远只能看到别人现在的水平,

never the hundreds of ugly, awkward hours it took to get there. 却从没见过他们走到今天所经历的成百上千个小时的狼狈与笨拙。

Everyone who looks effortless was once a beginner who looked ridiculous. 每一个看似毫不费力的人,曾经也都是笨手笨脚、显得很可笑的新手。

So now, instead of feeling small, 所以现在,与其觉得自己矮人一截,

I try to see it as proof that it's possible. 我更愿意把它当成一种证明:这事儿是完全有可能做到的。
