最近比較煩？教你如何擺脫煩惱

Someone entitled "How to worry" tells about the clock that had a nervous breakdown. A new clock placed on the shelf was ticking two ticks to the second as any good clock should tick. Then it began to calculate how many times it was going to have to tick. "Two ticks to the second means 120 ticks per minute. That's 7200 ticks per hour, 172,800 ticks per day, 1,209,600 per week for 52 weeks, and a total of 62,899,200 per year." Horrified, the clock had a nervous breakdown.
有人給這個故事取了個名字——“煩惱的方式”：這是一個得了神經衰弱的時鐘的故事。架子上擺了一個新時鐘，它每秒比其他正常時鐘多“嘀嗒”一次。然後，它開始計算它到底要“嘀嗒”多少次呢？“一秒‘嘀嗒’一次的話，一分鐘就是120次，一個小時7200次，一天172,800次，一週1,209,600次，一年有52周，共62,899,200次！”被這可怕的計算結果嚇到，可憐的時鐘得了神經衰弱。

The clock was taken to a psychiatrist who asked, "Clock, what's your trouble?" "Oh, doctor," the clock complained, "I have to tick so much. I have to tick two ticks a second and 120 ticks per minute and 7200 ticks per hour, and ..." "Hold it," the psychiatrist cut in, "How many ticks do you have to tick at a time?" "Oh, I just have to tick one tick at a time," was the reply. "Then let me make a suggestion," replied the doctor. "You go home and try ticking one tick at a time. Don't even think about the next tick until its time. Just tick one tick at a time. Can you do that?" "Of course, I can" said the clock now happy and revived.
時鐘被帶到精神病醫生面前，醫生問它：“時鐘，你哪裏不舒服啊？”時鐘抱怨道：“醫生，我的工作量太大了，你看，我一秒‘嘀嗒’一次的話，一分鐘就是120次，一個小時7200次，一天……”“停！”醫生打斷時鐘的解釋“你告訴我你每秒到底需要‘嘀嗒’幾次？”時鐘回答：“啊~我只需要‘嘀嗒’一次。”醫生給時鐘開出了治療建議：“你現在回家，每秒只需‘嘀嗒’一次。在下一次‘嘀嗒’前不要去想工作的事兒。你可以做到麼？”“當然！”時鐘信心滿滿地回答。後來，這位時鐘朋友生活得很快樂，很有活力。

This story teaches us three things: why people worry, the futility of worry, and how to overcome worry.
這個故事告訴我們三件事：爲什麼人們會感到煩惱，煩惱是徒勞無功的，如何擺脫煩惱。Why people worry:
We worry when in our minds we try to bite off more than we can chew. The clock is bothered about how many ticks it will have to make in one year rather than focusing on the ticking it needs to do today, this very minute. Similarly, we should not worry about so many things "'What will we eat?' or 'What will we drink?' or 'What will we wear?'". We try to handle too many things on our minds when we worry about the future, about the tomorrows of our life that are so uncertain.
爲什麼人們會感到煩惱：
我們會感到煩惱是因爲我們試着去完成超出我們能力範圍的東西。時鐘不去擔憂它每天、每分鐘該做的事，而是擔憂到底一年中它需要完成哪些任務。同樣，我們不需要去擔心這麼多事，“要吃什麼？”“要喝什麼？”“要穿什麼？”……當我們想到未來的時候，我們總是試着去處理太多的事情。然而未來的生活是如此不可確定。

The futility of worry:
In the story of the clock we see that worry does not solve problems. Rather, it is counterproductive. As the clock experienced, and this can diminish the person's life span.
煩惱是徒勞無功的：
從時鐘的故事中我們可以發現一個道理：煩惱是解決不了問題的。恰恰相反，它甚至會讓事情事倍功半。同時鐘的經歷一樣，煩惱會有損人們的身體健康。

How to overcome worry:
We overcome worry by living in the present moment, focusing on what we need to do today, knowing that we can figure out how to cross tomorrow's bridge when we get there. To focus on the present and not on the future!
如何擺脫煩惱：
我們只有活在當下才能擺脫煩惱。我們應該專注於今天要做的事，當明天到來時再去思考如何度過。活在當下吧！不要爲明天的不確定煩惱！
