英语名句
During the first presidential campaign Michelle Obama was worried her husband's schedule allowed him "no time to think." You hear the same from business executives who traverse impossibly packed days.在第一次总统竞选过程中，米歇尔担心她丈夫日程排得太紧而导致“没有时间思考”。你也会从那些日理万机的公司高管口中听到这种话。
But how many people budget serious thinking time on their calendar? Few. After all, what would you actually do during time set aside to just "think"? Sit in a chair, stare straight ahead, and ponder the world?但是会有多少人在他们的日程表上预留出思考的时间呢？很少。毕竟，要是你单独划出一块时间来“思考”的话，你到底具体要做些什么呢？坐在椅子上，对着眼前发呆，然后沉思宇宙人生？
Indeed, it's not a challenge you confront head-on. As Alain de Botton says, "The mind may be reluctant to think properly when thinking is all it is supposed to do; the task can be as paralyzing as having to tell a joke or mimic an accent on demand."事实上，这并不是你面对的一项挑战。正如阿兰·德·波顿所言：“当大脑被迫要去思考的时候，它反而会抗拒；这项任务就好比被要求讲个笑话或者模仿一种口音一样令人陷入僵局。”
If you want to do more proactive, deep thinking, you want to obliquely engage in two kinds of activities.你要是希望作一些更积极主动、更深刻的思考，你无论如何要先开始进行以下两类活动。
Directed Thinking Activities定向思维活动
Write. Famed author Joan Didion says, "I don't know what I think until I try to write it down." Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos preaches the value of writing long form prose to clarify thinking. Unless you're a professional writer, writing is not always about the written output; it's about the thinking that happens as you attempt to communicate. Do not assume you have to share your writing with others for it to be time well spent.写作。著名作家琼·狄迪昂说：“我不知道自己在想什么，直到我试着把它写下来。”亚马逊的CEO杰夫·贝索斯大力鼓吹通过写长篇散文来理清思想的价值。除非你是一位职业作家，写作的.最终产品并不重要；重要的是当你试着去交流时所产生的思考。不要预设你要和别人分享你写的东西，只要想着这段时间是过得很值得的。
Read a book. Don't read an executive summary or two-page cheat sheet. Read a full book. It's not about the content of what you're reading -- in most business books, there's not much new anyways -- it's about the quiet time you're spending by yourself. Unless you're a professional book reviewer, reading is not about reading; it's about thinking. It's about hearing yourself think.读书。别去读行动纲要或是两页纸的备忘单，读一本完整的书。你读的内容并不重要——事实上在大部分经济管理类书籍里，没多少新的东西。——重要的是那段你独处的安静时光。除非你是个职业书评家，读书并不是为了读书本身，而是为了思考，是为了聆听你自己的思考。
