声音简介
It can be all too easy to default to a bad money approach in our lives,too.Many of us thrive on the intensity of a demanding job- one that we believe in and enjoy. We like proving what we can do under pressure. Our projects, our clients,and our colleagues challenge us. We invest ourselves in our jobs.But in order to accomplish all this,we start to think of our jobs as requiring all our attention-and that's exactly what we give them.
We call in to work from remote vacation spots.In fact, we may never take all the vacation days we're allowed; there's simply too much to be done.Work becomes how we identify ourselves.We take our smartphones with us everywhere, checking for news constantly— as if not being connected all the time would mean we're going to miss out on something really important. We expect the people who are closest to us to accept that our schedule is simply too demanding to make much time for them. After all, they want to see us succeed, too, right? We find ourselves forgetting to return e-mails and phone calls from our friends and our families; neglecting birthdays and other celebrations that used to be important to us.
Unfortunately, the same consequences that businesses face for failing to invest for the future apply to us,too.
While most of us do have a deliberate strategy of creating deep, love-filled relationships with members of our family and our friends, in reality we invest in a strategy for our lives that we would never have aspired to: having shallow friendships with many but deep friendships with none; becoming divorced, sometimes repeatedly; and having children who feel alienated from us within our own homes, or who are raised by a stepparent sometimes thousands of miles away.
And we can't turn the clock back./
为未来的幸福投资
生活中，我们也很容易默认一种不良的生活方式。许多人在高强度的工作中茁壮成长，我们信任并喜欢这份工作。我们喜欢证明我们在压力下的能力。项目、客户和同事都挑战我们，所以我们投入到工作中。为了完成这一切，我们意识到要全身心地投入——实际上我们也是这样做的。
我们从偏远的度假胜地打电话继续工作。事实上，我们可能永远都不会休完假，因为要做的事情实在太多了。工作等同于我们自己。我们到哪里都带着智能手机，不停地看消息——好像不一直保持联系就意味着我们会错过一些真正重要的事情。我们希望身边的人能理解我们的日程安排太紧，所以没有太多时间陪他们。毕竟，他们也想看到我们成功，对吧？我们忘记回复朋友和家人的电子邮件和电话；忽略了生日和其他曾经对我们来说很重要的庆祝活动。
不幸的是，企业因未能投资未来而面临的后果同样也适用于我们的生活。
虽然我们大多数人确实有一个既定的目标，与家人和朋友建立深厚的、充满爱的关系，但事实上，我们的生活不是我们渴望拥有的:与许多人建立肤浅的友谊，但与任何人都没有深厚的友谊；离婚，有时甚至反复离婚；有些孩子在自己的家里中，都感到与父母疏远，有些住在千里之外由继父或继母抚养。
我们不能让时光倒流。
