激情
Passions
Great passions may give us a quickened sense of life, ecstasy and sorrow of love, the various forms of enthusiastic activity, disinterested or otherwise, which comes naturally to many of us.
伟大的激情可能给我们一种加速的生活感觉，狂喜和悲伤的爱，各种形式的热情活动，无私或其他，这是自然的，我们许多人。
To create an organization that's adaptable and innovative, people need the freedom to challenge precedent, to 'waste' time, to go outside of channels, to experiment, to take risks and to follow their passions.
要创建一个适应性强、创新性强的组织，人们需要挑战先例的自由，需要“浪费”时间的自由，需要走出渠道的自由，需要试验的自由，需要冒险的自由，需要追随自己的激情的自由。
I envy people with dreams and passions, but I don't think that way. I still don't have a 'bliss' to follow. For people like me - I suspect that's most people - holding out for a 'dream' or a 'passion' is paralyzing. I just like having work I enjoy that feels meaningful. That's hard enough... but it's enough.
我羡慕有梦想和激情的人，但我不这么认为。我仍然没有“幸福”可以追随。对于像我这样的人来说——我怀疑这是大多数人——坚持一个“梦想”或一个“激情”是令人麻痹的。我喜欢有意义的工作。这很难……但这就够了。

And in a way, that's been a help to me, because I take great passions for a particular poet - sometimes it lasts for many years, sometimes only for a while. This happens to everybody.
在某种程度上，这对我来说是一种帮助，因为我对一位特定的诗人怀有极大的激情——有时这种激情会持续很多年，有时只会持续一段时间。每个人都会这样。
