Try something new for 30 day
未来
30
天，去试试那些一直想做的事

1.
A
few
years
ago,
I
felt
like
I
(1)______________(stick)
in
a
rut

(
刻板而乏味的
)
,
so
I
decided to
follow in the footsteps of
the great American philosopher,
Morgan Spurlock
, and try
something
new
for
30
days.
The
idea
is
actually
pretty
simple.
Think
about
something
you've
always wanted to
add to
your life and try it for the next 30 days.
It turns out (that)
30 days is just
about
the right amount of time
(2)______________(add)

a new habit or
subtract
a habit -- like
watching the news -- from your life.



2. There are a few things I learned while doing these 30-day challenges. The first was, instead
of
the
months
flying
by,
forgotten,
the
time
was
much
more
memorable.
This
was
part
of
a
challenge
I
did
to
take
a
picture
every
day
for
a
month.
And
I
remember
exactly
(3)______________ I was and what I was doing that day. I also noticed that as I started to do more
and
harder
30-day
challenges,
my
self- confidence
(4)______________(grow).
I
went
from
desk-dwelling
computer
nerd

(
书呆子；电脑高手
)
to the kind of guy who bikes to work -- for fun.
Even last year, I
ended up
(5)______________(hike) up
Mt. Kilimanjaro
, the highest mountain
in Africa. I would never have been that
adventurous
before I started my 30-day challenges.


3. I also
figured out
that if you really
want
something
badly
enough, you can do anything
for
30
days.
Have
you
ever
wanted
to
write
a
novel?
Every
November,
tens
of
thousands
of

people

try
to
write
their
own
50,000-word
novel
from
scratch

in 30
days.
(6)______________

turns out
(that) all you have to do is (to) write 1,667 words a day for a month. So I did. By the
way, the secret is not to go to sleep (7)______________

you've written your words for the day.
You (8)______________ be
sleep-deprived
(
不睡觉
)
, but you'll finish your novel. Now is my book
the next great American novel? No. I wrote it in a month. It's awful. But for the rest of my life, if I
meet John Hodgman at a TED party,
I don't have to say,
want to I can say, I'm a novelist.



4. So here's one last thing I'd like to mention. I learned that when I made small,
sustainable

(
持续性的
)
changes, things I could keep (9)______________(do), they were more likely to stick.
There's
nothing
wrong
with
big,
crazy
challenges.
In
fact,
they're
a
ton
of
fun
.
But
they're
(10)______________(likely) to stick. When I
gave up
(=quit) sugar for 30 days, day 31 looked
like this. (Laughter)



5. So here's my question to you: What are you waiting for? I
guarantee
you the next 30 days
are
going
to
pass
whether
you
like
it
or
not,
so
why
not
(11)______________(think)
about
something you have always wanted to try and
give it
(12)______________
shot
for the next 30
days. Thanks.
