压力来自于忽视你不应该忽视的事情

In a 2001 interview, Amazon.com, Inc. founder Jeff Bezos revealed his secret of dealing with stress, something which can help at least three-quarters of adults in the U.S.

在2001年的一次采访中，亚马逊公司创始人杰夫·贝佐斯透露了他应对压力的秘诀，这可以帮助美国至少四分之三的成年人。

What Happened: During the interview, Bezos said that in a particular case, laughter seems to be working as a stress-buster. “I think in my particular case I laugh a lot.”

发生了什么： 在采访中，贝索斯说，在特殊情况下，笑声似乎起到了缓解压力的作用。“我认为就我的特殊情况而言，我笑了很多。”

He then went on to explain that people often get stress “wrong” because it doesn’t stem from hard work. For example, a person can work hard without experiencing stress. However, being unemployed can cause significant stress.

然后他继续解释说，人们常常会 “错误” 地承受压力，因为压力不是源于辛勤工作。例如，一个人可以在不承受压力的情况下努力工作。但是，失业可能会造成很大的压力。

Similarly, an unemployed person who has been actively putting efforts like giving job interviews, can significantly reduces stress compared to passively worrying about the situation without taking action.

同样，与被动地担心情况而不采取行动相比，一直在积极努力进行求职面试的失业者可以显著减轻压力。

“Stress primarily comes from not taking action over something that you can have some control over,” Bezos said, adding, “If I find that some particular thing is causing me to have stress, that’s a warning flag for me; what it means is, there’s something that I haven’t completely identified perhaps in my conscious mind, that is bothering me, and I haven’t yet taken any action on it.”

贝索斯说：“压力主要来自于不对你可以控制的事情采取行动，” 他补充说，“如果我发现某件事导致了我的压力，那对我来说是一个警告信号；这意味着，在我的意识中，可能有一些我还没有完全识别出来的东西，困扰着我，而且我还没有对此采取任何行动。”

“As soon as I identify it, and make the first phone call or send up the first email message or whatever it is that we’re going to do to start to address the situation, even if it’s not solved, the mere fact that we’re addressing it dramatically reduces any stress that might come from it,” he advised.

他建议：“只要我发现了问题，打了第一个电话或发送了第一封电子邮件或者我们要做的任何事情来开始解决这个问题，即使问题没有得到解决，我们正在解决这个问题这一事实本身就能显著减轻可能由此带来的压力。”

Bezos concluded by saying, “So stress comes from ignoring things that you shouldn’t be ignoring, I think in large part.”

贝索斯最后说：“因此，我认为压力在很大程度上来自于忽视你不应该忽视的事情。”
