每天小事-和他人联系(4)

Everyday routine

 

每天小事

 

Connect with someone.

和他人联系

 

Life is meant to be shared and the need to connect is an important one for me. While time for self-reflection is necessary, so is the time we share with other people. True connection is seeking understanding and to ask one more question beyond, "How are you doing?" True connection is waiting for the answer.

生活意味着分享，而和他人联系这一需求对我来说非常重要。自我反省的时间是必要的，和他人一起分享的时间也是必要的。真正的联系是寻求理解，再加上一个意料之外的问题，“你怎么样？”真正的联系是等待答案。

 

I attempt to take one moment every day to stay in a conversation a little longer; call someone who has been on my mind or reply to an unanswered email. Connection provides me with the opportunity to nurture¹ and to be nurtured².

每天我都试着多拿一点儿时间和别人聊天；给我脑海里的人打电话或回复电子邮件。和他人联系给了我让他人成长和自我成长的机遇。

 

There is security in knowing the challenges we face, we don't have to face alone. Connect. Share. And then be fulfilled, inspired and understood, too.

知道我们面临的挑战就有防护措施，我们不必自己去面对。联系、分享、我们会满足、受到启发并得到理解。
