周末做午饭的时候听了一期播客Create Your Work for the World (为世界创造你的作品)。如果你想要做出一个决定,内心又有犹豫和阻碍;又或者你有向世界表达自己的渴望,却因担心自己提供的东西不够有价值而停滞不前时,可以听听看。
播主 Brooke Castillo 是一位 life coach,她用一个有趣的比喻解释了为什么每个人都能创作出独一无二的东西:
"So a lot of times, what I hear is people saying, 'Well, I’ve had the same education as someone else, or I’ve gone to the same school as someone else, or I’ve learned the same content as somebody else, so for me to teach that content doesn’t make any sense. It’s just me copying it.'"
"很多时候,我听到人们说,‘嗯,我和某人接受了相同的教育,或者我和某人上了同一所学校,或者我和某人学了相同的内容,所以对我来说,教授那些内容没有任何意义。这只是我在复制别人的东西。’"
"And I totally disagree with that. I think you have to take into account that it is your education mixed with your experience, your brain, and your personality that creates a new recipe. It’s like a new seasoning, a new offering, a new meal for the world. And it will be attainable and consumable by a brand new audience that could only hear it from you, that would only consume it from you."
"我完全不同意那种观点。我认为你必须考虑到,正是你的教育、经验、大脑和个性的结合创造了一个新的配方。这就像是一种新的调料,一个新的贡献,为世界提供了一道新菜。而且,只有你才能让全新的观众接触到它,他们只能从你这里听到它,只能从你这里消费它。"

创造些什么,就像做菜一样,哪怕同一道菜,每个人也都能做出不同的滋味。菜怎样切,用什么火候,放什么调料……我们创作的东西也是如此。
摘录了一些对我有启发的金句:
1. "Every single person on this planet has an offering. They have something inside of them that the world needs."
地球上的每个人都有一份贡献。他们身上有世界所需要的东西。
2. "Your offering is only created by you. It hasn’t ever been created by anyone else."
你的贡献只由你创造。它从未被任何人创造过。
3. "If you think you have that desire to create, if you have that inkling that you have something to say that matters... you have a responsibility to do that."
如果你认为你有创造的欲望,如果你有那种感觉,你有一些重要的话要说... 你有责任去做。
4."If every person on this planet was encouraged to produce their work for the world, we’d have a much better world."
如果地球上的每个人都被鼓励为世界创作他们的作品,我们将拥有一个更好的世界。
5. "You deserve to have your voice heard. You deserve and your people deserve to be helped by you."
你值得让你的声音被听见。你值得,你的人们也值得得到你的帮助。
6. "Your own wisdom oftentimes is unrecognized by you because it seems so obvious to you."
你自己的智慧往往不被你认识,因为它对你来说太显而易见了。
7. "The best educators, the best content creators, are the ones that actually unload the groceries and clean all the vegetables and clean all the produce and chop everything up and put it in the pan and actually create and hand the meal to their student, to their client."
最好的教育者,最好的内容创作者,是那些实际上卸下杂货,清洗所有的蔬菜,清洗所有的农产品,切碎一切,然后把它们放进锅里,真正地创造并把餐食递给他们的学生,他们的客户。
