Have you ever looked at someone else’s life with envy，just enough envy that you wish for a moment or two (or longer) that you could be them? Are there moments when, if the opportunity to be them were on 1 , you might be tempted by it?

Would we really want this? And what might we learn about ourselves or how we see our lives if we 2 considered it? To be sure, there are 3 here. If you had someone else’s life, who would raise your children or love your spouse or take care of your parents in their old age?

In fact, if you were someone else your own children would not have come into existence in the first place. That’s not a happy thought. To 4 this, perhaps the best way to cast this is in terms of a trade: If you had their life then they would have yours, and live it exactly as you would have. Your responsibilities would be 5 , so there would be nothing to feel guilty about.

If we think of it this way, then the question of wanting to be someone else is a question of what we might call experience: Is there anybody else whose experience of life you would prefer, 6 everything else would be equal? One 7 concern about wanting someone else’s experience is that my desire to be someone else is grounded in values and desires that 1 have, and so I have to be me in order to want to be him. However, it’s not clear that that presents any real obstacle to such a desire. The fact is that there would be at least enough overlap (重叠)with them that they are exemplifying my values and desires but have a better experience than I do. So I can still prefer to be them.

I think that, on reflection, most of us would not want to 8 with another person, no matter how successful or tempting their lives seem. To see why, though, we’ll need to 9 our angle of vision. We will have to look at our own experiences rather than at theirs, or perhaps look at our experiences first. What would I be willing to give up to be another? My relationships with everyone — children, spouse, friends —and my whole history. I wouldn’t have 10 it. My loss would be that of the whole of my own experience.

With so many investments required of us to succeed – time, resources, talents, responsibilities, even finances for our retirement – it’s easy to lose sight of the most difficult investment of all to 1 to: ourselves.

Getting to the point where you’re ready to start 2 to you 2.0 isn’t easy. But it doesn’t mean dropping the ball everywhere else. It's not about omissions, but admissions. Come clean with yourself to kick-start your personal growth.

Unstuck starts with “u”

No one purposely chooses to stop learning and growing again, it just kind of happens in a lot of daily responsibilities and life. And if it were easy to just kick it into gear (挡位) again, you would have already done it. But the truth is inescapable. If you want to get off that place to higher ground, it’s up to you and only you. No one will just hand you a steady 3 of opportunities for growth.

You’ve been working in your life, not on it

Activity is often 4 with acceleration (忙碌). I was guilty of this for years in working place – staying always busy but not admitting I was bored. I was lost in activity and not stepping back to take time to question what I wanted my life to be. Once I began working on my life – quitting corporate, becoming an entrepreneur, restructuring to my life – I started growing once again. And I’ve never been happier.

Things aren’t happening to you, they’re happening for you

A victim mentality (心态) is the enemy of personal growth. Lamenting over everything that has gone wrong in your life only wastes energy from working to make more things go right. If you want to kick-start growth, you must view 5 as having a purpose, and then put them in their place. The past shouldn’t run or define you – only 6 you.

The perfect time to start doesn’t exist

I had so many things that had to be just right before I could make my long-planned 7 from corporate. I’d tell myself, “I’d love to go for it right now, but practically speaking.” Well, guess what? Practicality is 8 . It’s the convenient excuse stopping you from what you’re meant to become.

It’s time to 9 others’ opinions

Grow where you want to grow. Learn what you want to learn. Wherever you are on the scale of what you want to learn next – be it beginner or near-expert own it, be proud of it. Pretences are for pretenders. You’re just trying to become a better version of your 10 self.

“A nurse asked if I was allergic(过敏的) to anything,” Jerry continued. “ ‘Yes,’ I 9 . The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my answer. I took a deep breath and yelled, ‘Bullets! ‘ Over their laughter, I told them, ‘Please operate on me as if I am alive, not dead.’ ”

Jerry lived thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his 10 attitude. Attitude, after all, is everything.
