I was driving with a friend recently and telling him about some projects that really excited me. I mentioned a new book I’m working on, an article I’m writing and this new hobby of adventure motorcycling in the desert. He interrupted me and said, "How do you stay so motivated and so excited about things?"
It caught me off guard. I hadn ’t really considered the "why" behind my list of activities.【F1】
But as I thought about it, I realized that the one aspect each of these projects had to make me so motivated—the common thread—was the feeling of being in just a little over my head.
In other words, doing things despite the fact that, as the marketing guru Seth Godin likes to say, "this might not work."
That may sound a little counterintuitive. It’ s easy to wonder how doing stuff that makes you uncomfortable, and might not even work, is a source of motivation.
【F2】
I posted on Instagram about constantly getting in a little over my head, and my friend Dallas Hartwig told me about this concept called "hormesis", a phenomenon by which something that could significantly impair or even kill you in high doses and can make you stronger in low doses.
Or as the National Institutes of Health puts it, "In the fields of biology and medicine, hormesis is defined as an adaptive response of cells and organisms to a moderate (usually intermittent) stress."
Of course, I thought. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. It’s not a new concept. 【F3】
It’s well documented that the way to grow muscle is to rip the muscle tissue, and then give it time to re-grow.
You give it stress, then rest, and it comes back on the other side stronger than it was before.
I know that adventures are not for everyone. I know they can feel scary and intimidating. 【F4】
But making a habit of seeking adventures, in spite of how scary they are, may be the secret to staying motivated about the things you do.
And that, if nothing else, confers a key economic benefit onto anyone who experiences it. 【F5】
Even if we set aside all the tangible benefits that come from stepping outside our comfort zone, it is intuitively obvious that being more excited about your work is a surefire way to improve your performance—and turn your various ventures into adventures.
【F2】
选项
答案
我在Instagram上说要不断让自己觉得有点困难。朋友达拉斯-哈特维和我讲了“毒物兴奋效应”这个概念,即某些毒物高剂量时会严重损害身体健康甚至致人死亡,低剂量却会让人变得更强。
解析
(1)hormesis译为“毒物兴奋效应”。
(2)句子原文较长,翻译时可以进行拆分,把第一个小分句独立出来。
