保罗·格雷厄姆：属于自己的项目·第1则
保罗·格雷厄姆《《属于自己的项目》》· A Project of One's Own · 成长 · 行动 · 领导 · 人性
A few days ago, on the way home from school, my nine year old son told me he couldn't wait to get home to write more of the story he was working on. This made me as happy as anything I've heard him say — not just because he was excited about his story, but because he'd discovered this way of working. Working on a project of your own is as different from ordinary work as skating is from walking. It's more fun, but also much more productive. What proportion of great work has been done by people who were skating in this sense? If not all of it, certainly a lot. There is something special about working on a project of your own. I wouldn't say exactly that you're happier. A better word would be excited, or engaged. You're happy when things are going well, but often they aren't.

白话
几天前，我九岁的儿子放学回家路上说，他等不及回家继续写他的故事。这是我听过他说过的最让我高兴的话——不仅因为他对自己的故事兴奋，更因为他发现了这种工作方式。做自己的项目，和普通工作完全不同，就像滑冰和走路的区别：更有趣，也高效得多。多少伟大的工作是那些“滑冰”的人完成的？即使不是全部，也肯定很多。做自己的项目时，你不一定更幸福，更准确的词是兴奋、投入。事情顺利时你开心，但常常不顺利。

今日一问
你最近有没有一件事让你像滑冰一样投入，而不是像走路一样例行公事？
