By experimenting.
But that’s not the answer you want, is it?
I suspect that you want to know what you’re good at or meant to do before you even start.
I get it. You don’t want to go through trial and error.
You don’t want to experience failure, confusion, and uncertainty.
You want to remain firmly inside your comfort zone.
That’s okay.
I do too.
Most of us do.
It’s just our ego trying to protect us, trying to keep us safe from pain and suffering.
But in the ego’s attempt to make us an impenetrable fortress, it also insulates us from life.
All the attempts to fortify our walls and make us stronger make us also less capable of feeling the very essence of life.
And what’s the very essence of life? Uncertainty. Not knowing how things are going to play out. Taking a step without knowing where it may eventually lead.
But the ego doesn’t care about any of that. All it wants to do is build walls to keep you safe.
It doesn't care about bridges unless it has guarantees of what’s on the other side.
But that’s a terrible way to experience or explore life.
通过试验。
但这不是你想要的答案，对不对？
我怀疑你是想在开始（试验）之前就想知道自己擅长什么，或者意味着要做什么。
我明白了，你不想经历反复试验。
你不想经历失败、困惑和不确定。
你想牢牢地留在自己的舒适区。
这没关系。
我也是。
我们大多数人都这样。
我们的自我意识试图保护我们，试图让我们远离痛苦和折磨。
但是自我意识试图把我们变成一座坚不可摧的堡垒，它也把我们与生活隔绝开来。
所有试图加固我们的“城墙”和使我们更强大的努力也使我们更难感受到生命的本质。
生命的本质是什么？不确定性。不知道事情会如何发展，在不知道最终结果的情况下迈出一步，但是自我并不在乎这些，它想做的就是筑起一堵墙来保护你的安全。
它不关心桥梁，除非它能确定桥的另一端是什么。
但这是一种糟糕的体验或探索生活的方式。

So now you’re faced with a conundrum:
On one hand, you want to find out what you want or what you’re good at, and that means you need to get out and try things.
On the other hand, you don’t want to be disappointed, scared or confused, so you don’t want to take a step into the unknown.
How do you resolve this dilemma?
Do you force yourself out of your comfort zone?
The internet is full of people telling you the magic lies outside your comfort zone, but you won’t see very many of them doing it themselves.
That’s because will power is bullshit.
It doesn’t work the way we like to think it does.
If the world looks scary and threatening to you, it’s only common sense to hide or protect yourself from it.
Will power might get you out the door, but chances are you’ll be scared and stiff as a stick to actually experience anything openly.
And before you can count to ten, you’ll run back behind your safe wall.
I know, because it’s what I’ve done for much of my life.
Yet the moment you see for yourself that you live in the feeling of your thinking rather than the feeling of the world, the game changes.
所以现在你面临着一个难题。
一方面，你想找出你想要什么或你擅长什么，这意味着你需要走出去，尝试各种事情。
一方面，你又不想失望、恐惧或迷惑，所以你不想向未知领域迈出一步。
你如何解决这个两难的问题？
你会强迫自己走出舒适区吗？
互联网上有很多人会告诉你，美好在于你的舒适区之外，但你不会看到有多少人他自己会去做。
这是因为所谓意志力就是狗屁胡扯。
它并不像我们所想的那样起作用。
如果这个世界对你来说是可怕的和有威胁的，那么隐藏或保护自己不受其影响是唯一的常识。
意志力可能会让你走出大门，但有可能你会害怕，像跟棍子一样僵硬，无法真正地体验任何东西。
在你数到十之前，你就会跑回你的安全墙后。
我知道，因为这是我一生中大部分时间所经历的。
然而，当你亲眼看到你生活在自己的思想感觉中，而不是世界的感觉中时，游戏就改变了。

All of a sudden, you realize that you are living in a world of your own imagination.
You realize that the only reason you feel afraid is because you have fearful thinking.
You realize that the only reason you feel uncertain, confused, or insecure is because you have uncertain, confused, or insecure thinking.
The world is literally what you believe it to be.
The more clearly you can see that for yourself, the less it will matter to you how you feel.
Feeling insecure, anxious, or uncertain no longer becomes a roadblock that you have to defeat or overcome, but rather a backdrop to you actually taking action toward what interests you.
The more you can see that you are simply the canvas on which thought creates the world and your experience of it, the more easy it will be for you to shrug it - whatever it happens to be - off and keep going.
The world is your playground.
When will you come out and play?
突然间，
你意识到，你过去生活在一个自己想象的世界里。
你意识到，你感到恐惧的唯一原因是你怀抱恐惧的思维。
你意识到，你感到不确定、困惑或不安全的唯一原因，是因为你有不确定、困惑或不安全的思维。
世界就是你所相信的那样。
你自己看得越清楚，你的感觉就越不重要。
不安全、焦虑或不确定感不再成为你必须战胜或克服的障碍，而是成为你朝着自己感兴趣的事情采取行动的背景。
你越是明白自己就是一块画布，你的思想创造了世界，创造了你对世界的体验，你就越容易耸耸肩——无论发生了什么——然后继续前进。
世界就是你的游乐场。
你什么时候出来玩玩？

Why does it matter?
If you want to know to have an easier time in order to achieve success in a career, then you have the wrong idea about both the requirements for success and the definition of it.
If you want to know because you believe your life will be easier because you can develop that skill even further, then you still have some misconceptions about what it takes.
You do not need to find out what you are good at! That is the wrong approach.
Because, no matter how good you are at something, if you hate it you will neither feel successful nor become truly successful, and your life will still be hard.
Think about it: If you found out that you were absolutely amazing at cleaning the cages of extremely poisonous King Cobras, would you take up that job?
Most likely not!
No matter how good you are at it it would probably be something you would not wish to do.
In fact, you probably have already gotten some hints for things you are good at that you do not want to accept because they are not fun nor ideal.
Because, even if you did those for the rest of your life, you know you would not be happy.
Therefore, you are not looking for what you are good at, but rather looking for an easy fix that will lead to a great life.
为什么会有这样的问题？
倘若你问这个问题，是想知道如何更容易地在事业上取得成功，那么你对成功的要求和定义都有着错误的想法。
倘若你问这个问题，是因为你相信这样你的生活便会更容易，是因为你可以进一步发展这种“技能”，那么你对它的要求仍有一些误解。
你不需要找出你所擅长的东西！这是不对的，这是错误的方法。
因为，无论你在某方面有多出色，如果你讨厌它，你既不会感到成功，也不会成为真正的成功者，你的生活仍然会很艰难。
想一想吧，如果你发现你在清理极度有毒的眼镜王蛇笼子方面有绝对的能力，你会接受这份工作吗？
很可能不会吧 !
这种事无论你多么擅长，可能你都不愿意做吧。
事实上，可能你得到了某些你擅长的事情的暗示，但你并不想接受，因为它们既不有趣也不理想。
因为，即使你一生都在做这些事，你也知道你不会快乐。
因此，你不是在寻找你擅长的事情，而是在寻找一种能带来美好生活的简单方法。

You are looking for an easy way out.
You want to know what you are good at so you can take it up and live an "easy" life.
Which is exactly where the misconception comes in.
If you want an easy life you become great at the things you already love; not the other way around!
You can be great at anything you choose!
For if you love it you will choose to put more time into it and eventually your skill will increase.
You will get creative, will go above and beyond and will do so without much of a push at all.
Imagine someone who learns to love to play the guitar so much that they practice multiple hours every day.
They suck horribly at playing, mind you, but they do not care.
你正在寻找一条简单的出路。
你想知道自己擅长什么，这样你就可以接受它，过一种“轻松”的生活。
这正是误解产生的原因。
如果你想要一个简单轻松的生活，你就要在你已经热爱的事情上变得出色，而不是相反！
你可以做任何你想做的事情！
因为如果你热爱它，你会选择投入更多的时间，最终你的技能会提高。
你会变得有创造力，会超越自我，并且不需要太多的驱动力。
想象一下，一个人非常热爱弹吉他，以至于每天练习好几个小时。
提醒你一下，他的演奏水平可能很糟糕，但是他并不在乎。

提醒你一下，他的演奏水平可能很糟糕，但是他并不在乎。
What would happen if that person were to keep practicing and playing for 100 hours? What about 1,000? What about 10,000?
He would, without a doubt, turn into a great guitar player over time!
And then, once he reaches that level, it will be far easier to make a career out of it that he enjoys.
For all intents and purposes it is better to start with what you love and then go from there.
If you really want to know what you are good at then look at what you spend the most time on.
What do you spend the most time doing?
What do you spend the most time thinking about?
What do you do every day?
That’s your start.
From there simply invest more of your time and energy into improving what you already love, and given enough time, you will become great and will be able to make a career out of it.
如果这个人坚持练习和演奏100个小时会发生什么？1000怎么样？10000怎么样？
毫无疑问，随着时间的推移，他会成为一个出色的吉他手！
然后，一旦他达到了这个水平，就会更容易把它变成自己喜欢的职业。
总而言之，最好是从你喜欢的事情开始，然后从此出发。
如果你真的想知道你擅长什么，那么看看你在什么上面花的时间最多。
你花最多的时间做什么？
你花最多的时间思考什么？
你每天都做些什么？
这就是你的开始。
从此处开始，你只需要投入更多的时间和精力去改善你喜欢的事物，只要给予足够的时间，你就会变得很出色，并且能够以此为生。

Just face it. You’re not good at anything. That’s where we all start. Some of us believe in talent, but even talented people need practice anyway. If that’s where we’re all headed, then what’s the difference?
The better question to ask here is:
What’s the best way to find out what I am passionate about?
Passion keeps you focused, obsessed, and energized. Fighting to see the point won’t help against a guy who’s simply enjoying himself.
Passion breeds practice, and practice breeds perfection. It’s only with passion that anyone masters anything.
Seek passion, not talent.
If you’ve got the genetics to be a professional athlete or a model, then that’s talent. But talent is not skill. Walking the runway or shooting a ball requires skill.
without passion, talent alone is a burden and not a gift. Work becomes a sacrifice and not a labor of love. Talent turns into pain.
What is the best way to find your passion? We are biologically equipped with the ability to discover passion already, and it’s driven by boredom. Be bored, and do what’s fun. If it’s fun, you’re getting warmer. That’s why kids first instinct is to fool around.
面对现实吧，你什么都不擅长，这就是我们所有人的起点。
我们中有些人相信天赋，但无论如何，即使是有天赋的人也需要实践联系，如果这就是我们所有人的方向，那么又有什么区别呢？
你应该问的一个更好的问题是：
找到我所热爱的东西的最好方法是什么？
激情让你专注、痴迷，精力充沛，对于一个只是享受生活的人来说，努力去理解这一点是无济于事的。
激情孕育着实践，而实践孕育着完美，只有激情才能使人掌握一切。
去寻求激情，而不是天赋。
如果你有成为职业运动员或模特的基因，那么这就是天赋，但天赋并不是技能。
如果没有激情，光有才能是一种负担，而不是一种“天赋”，工作成为了一种牺牲，而不是自己热爱的劳动，天赋变成了痛苦。
找到你的激情的最好方法是什么？我们在生物学上已经具备了发现激情的能力，它是由无聊驱动的，无聊的时候，就做有趣的事，如果它有趣，你就会变得更热情，这就是为什么孩子们的第一本能是胡乱玩耍。

Of course, with age and “responsibility” we stop playing and begin to downplay our desire to have fun. We take a job that’s boring or that we even hate, and decide passion is for dreamers. And you’re right. You just stopped dreaming.
The thing is, passion always comes. Always. Whether we decide we’ll work a boring job while we wait, passion will come knocking either way. But we often ignore it, or mistake it for something else.
Hate is passion. So if you overcome the hate for your job, you’ve just overcome your passion.
Boredom is the void that alxs us. If you just turned on World of Warcraft or picked up a basketball, guess what, that’s your passion. We make the mistake of thinking passion doesn’t count unless it’s a school subject or a job title. But comic books and video games are products authored by adults with jobs. Even if you don’t make it to the NBA, if fitness makes you happy, there are plenty of related jobs.
If you’re unable to act on your boredom, then you’re either wasting your time or sacrificing too much. If you’ve overcome the boredom you’re feeling, you’ve just nipped passion in the bud.
And don’t worry if your passion keeps changing. There may have been a time when you were passionately picking your nose. Are you still? The key is to pursue it and be pursued by it. Passion might choose you instead. But no matter what it is there is no need to fight it.
Act on your passion, and act on your boredom. As long as you’re leading a passion driven life, it’s only a matter of time before you master something and find a way to get paid doing the things you love.
Good luck!
当然，随着年龄和 "责任 "的增长，我们不再玩耍，开始淡化我们对乐趣的渴望，我们接受了一份无聊或甚至讨厌的工作，并认为激情是给梦想家准备——你是对的，你就这样停止了梦想。
问题是，激情总会到来，总是如此。无论我们是否决定在等待时做一份无聊的工作，激情都会来敲门，但我们经常忽视它，或把它误认为是其他东西。
厌恶就是激情，因此，如果你克服了对工作的厌恶，你就克服了你的激情。
厌倦是提醒我们的空虚，如果你刚刚打开了《魔兽世界》或拿起了篮球，你猜怎么着，那就是你的激情，我们犯了一个错误，认为激情不算数，除非它是一个学校科目或一个工作职位，但漫画书和视频游戏是由有工作的成年人创造的，即使你不能进入NBA，也还有健身，还有其它很多相关的工作和职业让你快乐。
如果你无法对你的厌倦采取行动，那么你要么是在浪费时间，要么就是牺牲了太多，如果你已经克服了你所感受到的厌倦，你就把激情扼杀在了萌芽状态。
如果你的激情不断变化，也不要担心，可能曾经有一段时间你热衷于挖鼻孔，你现在还会吗？关键是要追求它并被它追求，激情可能会选择你，但无论它是什么，都没有必要与它抗争。
按你的激情行事，用你的厌倦去行动，只要你过着激情驱动的生活，你掌握一些东西并找到一个做你喜欢的事来获得报酬的方法只是时间问题。
祝你好运！

Right from the time I was a little kid, I had one trait that made me stand out from the rest - I was super-talkative. However, everyone told me that I was ‘too talkative” or they would shame me stating “Only girls talk as much as you do”.
So it was looked upon as a matter of shame and something I should have tried to hide. However, it was only when I was around 13 years old that I noticed - whenever I would speak - everyone would listen, at least for a few minutes. So all I had to figure out was - how to make people want to listen to me ‘even more’.
So that was when I realized - I had a gift. And from then began the journey or doing my best to sharpen my ability to speak - so that when I spoke everyone would enjoy listening to me talk.
And that what everyone branded as ‘a curse’ became, in fact, my blessing in disguise.
从我还是个小孩子的时候起，我就有一个特点，这使我从其他人中脱颖而出——我超级健谈，然而，每个人都说我 "太过健谈"，或者他们会羞辱我，说："只有女孩才会像你这样这么多话"。
因此，这件事被看作是一件羞耻的事，是我本应该努力隐藏的事，然而，直到我13岁左右，我才注意到——每当我说话时，每个人都会听，至少也会听上几分钟，因此，我所要弄清楚的是：如何让人们愿意 "更多 " 地听我说话。
所以那时候我就意识到——我有一种天赋，从那时起，我开始了一段旅程，或尽最大努力提高我的说话能力——这样，当我说话时，每个人都会喜欢听我说话。
所有人都认为是 "诅咒 "的东西，实际上变成了对我的变相赐礼。

Right from the time I was a little kid, I had one trait that made me stand out from the rest - I was super-talkative. However, everyone told me that I was ‘too talkative” or they would shame me stating “Only girls talk as much as you do”.
So it was looked upon as a matter of shame and something I should have tried to hide. However, it was only when I was around 13 years old that I noticed - whenever I would speak - everyone would listen, at least for a few minutes. So all I had to figure out was - how to make people want to listen to me ‘even more’.
So that was when I realized - I had a gift. And from then began the journey or doing my best to sharpen my ability to speak - so that when I spoke everyone would enjoy listening to me talk.
And that what everyone branded as ‘a curse’ became, in fact, my blessing in disguise.

One time last year we received a call from a contractor who installed tiles at some woman’s home and there were multiple issues with the installation. To make it worse, his employees placed many of her possessions outside and they got ruined. Also, there was a lot of dust inside and around the house because they did a lot of preparation work right inside her home. The client was irate and was going to sue the contractor, the store that sold her the tiles, and everyone under the sun. She wanted a post-construction cleaning and most companies’ quotes began at $5,000.
In that context, the contractor found our company online and asked to come in to give a separate quote. When I showed up, there was a bunch of people there - managers from the store, contractor, insurance company, etc. The woman opened the door - she was older, immaculately dressed, and extremely pissed off. When I walked through the door, she asked me: “And who are you?” I responded: “I’m the person who will be cleaning your home.” She barked: “We shall see about that!” After that she proceeded to show us a slideshow of photos of damage to her home. Everyone kind of rolled their eyes. It was 1.5 hours long.
去年有一次，我们接到一个承包商的电话，他在某位女士的家里安装瓷砖，安装过程中出现了多个问题，更糟糕的是，他的员工把她的许多财物放到了外面，并遭到了毁坏，另外，由于他们在她家里面做了大量的前期工作，结果房子里面和周围灰尘弥漫，客户很生气，准备起诉承包商、起诉卖给她瓷砖的商店，以及所有的人，她想进行施工后的清洁，而大多数公司的报价都在5000美元起步。
在这种情况下，承包商在网上找到了我们公司，并要求我上门单独报价，当我出现时，那地方挤了一堆人——商店、承包商、保险公司等等的经理，那个女人开了门，这位女士年纪稍大，衣着整洁，非常生气，我走进门的时候，她问我 " 你又谁？" 我回答说 " 我是来帮您打扫房屋的人 " 她吼道: “ 行，那我们等着瞧吧!”之后，她给我们看了一组照片，照片显示了她的房屋受损的情况，每个人都看翻白眼了——这个过程长达1个半小时。

While there, I noticed that she has a great taste - all of her furniture and possessions were carefully curated, high quality, and beautiful. Also, she had two cats. I was able to talk to her and understand how aggravating it must have been to go through this ordeal for five (!) months. We also talked about her passion for interior design. I promised to help her and give her our best crew. When I came back, I brought a large crew, an orchid, and a cat scratcher for her cats.
Long story short, we brought her home to a perfect condition as it used to be and removed every little speck of dust. She ended up not suing anyone and was able to get her life back in order. We became friends and to this day she is our client.
After this I realized that I’m exceptionally good at getting people to trust me.
在那里，我注意到她的品味极佳：她所有的家具和财产都是精心策划的，质量很高，而且很漂亮，此外，她还有两只猫，我能够和她交谈，并理解在五个（！）月的时间里经历这种折磨是多么的委屈，我们还谈到了她对室内设计的热情，我承诺会帮助她，给她提供我们最好的工作人员，当我回来的时候，我带来了一个大团队，一盆兰花，和一个给她的猫咪玩的猫抓架。
长话短说，我们把她的家带到了一个完美的状态，就像以前一样，并清除了每一颗小灰尘，最终她没有起诉任何人，她的生活恢复正常，我们成了朋友，直到今天，她还是我们的客户。
在这之后，我意识到，我特别擅长让人们信任我。

Good question.
Everyone says you should find what you're good at that you also enjoy doing but no one talks about how to find the one thing you're good at.
Well, the answer to this is simple. You have to go through a phase of experimentation. Your 20s should be filled with experiments.
Try to do as much as you can. Try your hand at multiple jobs. Learn different skills. Leave what you feel isn't for you.
Also, “good" is a subjective term and varies from person to person. So, your definition of good can vary from mine.
But how would you know whether something is for you or not?
A simple way to do that is by observing how you feel once you imagine yourself doing it for the rest of your life.
You can also look for how much you enjoy/learn from doing it with respect to the impact it has on the world.
Hope this helps.
这是个好问题。
每个人都说你应该找到你擅长、也喜欢做的事，但是没有人谈论如何找到你擅长的事情。
答案很简单，你必须经历一个试验阶段，你的20多岁这个年龄阶段应该充满了试验性。
尽你所能去做，尝试多种工作，学习不同技能，抛弃那些你感觉不适合你的。
此外，“好”是一个主观术语，因人而异，所以，你对好的定义可能和我的有所不同。
但是你怎么知道某个事物是否适合你呢？
一个简单的方法就是观察你的感觉，你可以想象自己余生都在做这件事。
你也可以看看你从做这件事中学到了什么，以及它对世界的影响有多大。
希望这能有所帮助。

I recommend establishing some self-analysis habits.
A few of disciplines you can do daily:
1. Journaling.
Journaling is the most common method of self-analysis among successful people.
There are all kinds of journals both in the subject matter and technique of journaling. Handwriting activates your motor memory.
I ask myself every morning an insightful question and answer on paper.
我建议建立一些自我分析的习惯。
每天可以做的一些训练：
1. 写日志
写日志是成功人士最常用的自我分析方法。
无论是基于日志的主题还是写日志的技巧，都有各种各样的日志，手写能激活你的记忆。
我每天早上都会在纸上问自己一个有深度的问题和答案。

2. Meditation.
The biggest advantages of meditation is self-awareness.
Meditation has many benefits including increased focus, memory, and productivity.
Two main obstacles in starting the meditation practice are:
Unreasonable disquiet about this activity. (Many successful people attribute a lot of their successes to meditation; its effectiveness is confirmed by university research.)
Lack of time. (You may start from two minutes and can practice almost in any circumstances.)
Action Items:
Reserve a couple minutes of your time, preferably in solitude (not obligatory, but very helpful).
Sit or lie and relax (not obligatory, but very helpful).
Close your eyes (not obligatory, but very helpful).
Breathe deeply for two minutes, focusing on the air coming in and out of your nostrils (you can also focus on any of your body parts or sense your body in general); when a thought crosses your mind, acknowledge it and get back to your point of focus.
Congratulations. You’ve just meditated for the first time in your life; repeat this process ten days in a row and you will develop a stable meditation habit.
2. 冥想
冥想最大的好处是提升自我意识。
冥想有很多好处，包括提高注意力、记忆力和工作效率。
开始冥想练习的两个主要障碍包括：
· 对这项活动感到不合理的不安 ( 许多成功人士把他们的成功很大程度上归功于冥想；冥想的有效性得到了学术研究的证实）。
· 缺少时间(你可以从两分钟开始，几乎在任何情况下都可以练习）。
行动选项：
· 预留几分钟的时间，最好是独处（不是必须的，但非常有帮助）
· 坐着或躺着，放松（不是必须的，但非常有帮助）
· 闭上你的眼睛（不是必须的，但非常有帮助）
· 深呼吸两分钟，专注于用鼻孔呼吸空气（你也可以专注于你身体的任何部位，或总体上感受你的身体）；当一个想法在你的脑海中闪过时，确认它并回到你的焦点上。
恭喜你，你刚刚进行了人生中的第一次冥想；连续十天重复这个过程，你将养成稳定的冥想习惯。

3. Self-analysis surveys.
They are not exactly comprehensive or accurate, but they are a good start.
For example: Personal Strengths Profile | DISC self-assessment profile | Understand yourself | Tony Robbins
For the price of your e-mail address, you can get to know your values and behaviors. I was amazed at how accurate some of the conclusions were.
4. Direct feedback.
This is what works for Gary Vaynerchuck. He constantly listen to his employees, clients, audience and friends. He is not afraid to ask them about their opinions about himself.
Instead of laborious self-analysis, he goes out to the people and listen what do they say. Instead of guessing his talents he hears about them from others.
If you have balls to take constructive criticism, it’s the fastest route.
3. 自我分析调查
自我分析并不完全全面或准确，但却是一个良好的开端。
举个栗子：[网页链接] 个人优势档案 | DISC自我评估档案| 了解自己|托尼·罗宾斯
付出很小，有个邮箱就行，你可以了解你的价值观和行为，我对其中一些结论的准确性感到惊讶。
4. 直接反馈
这是 Gary Vaynerchuck 的一种有效的工作方式，他不断听取他的员工、客户、观众和朋友的意见，他不害怕询问他们对自己的意见。
他没有费力去进行自我分析，而是走到人们中间，听他们说什么，他不去猜测自己的才能，而是从别人那里听到这些。
如果你有胆量接受建设性的批评，这是最快的途径。
