About a running-against-time translation project
Background: Ever since I am in college majoring in English, translation and interpretation has always been my interest
And daily routines as I would switch between English and Chinese all the time about almost anything I see or hear.
Korean TV drama time would be practice of switching between English and Korean for me, quite fun actually.
Immersing in the joy of language learning , I've set a goal for myself to become someone like Lan Yang, to make a
Difference with impressive English , eloquence and wisdoms. listening to stories and tell good ones to the public.
Current status , But until now, I still haven't passed the CATTI since I haven't attended the test at all though I singed up for twice,
That money just went waste , every time when the exam is around the corner, I am not ready, so gave up the chance to take the gambling of losing more money. And I would remind myself of this and is always on the alert, to develop a good habit of creating a strong immersion for myself as daily routine, with English radios, magazines, TV series,writing , translation or interpretation in life and work, and random thoughts based on a subject, which benefitted me a lot in my work and has brought extra income for part-time job sometimes. but still, not hard-working enough, so just in the proportion to my efforts. But in cases of running against time, I would , once again , realize the importance of intense and arduous training to reach a better level, to take a leap, to always be on track in pursuit of perfection, a better version of myself , milestones, life is a climb, but the view is great.
Got a running-against-time project from one of my students from training center, so to look back, that job also benefitted me a lot, not something with that much regret. I enjoyed myself a lot as a teacher. But the deadline was suddenly put forward, to finish on time, I even asked for leave for one day and fought until 3am, well, not fought, as I also enjoyed that silent night, typing on my keyboard, to gain a sense of achievement with my knowledge and obtain due financial reward. And I was so focused and proved to myself that I can pull it off within limited time without procrastination, seems like a milestone than before as I always thought too much and would go back and forth about the final version , maybe it was because inadequate confidence or not enough professional technique. I thought to myself, what would it be like if I have insisted on intense training all the time, I've looked up for quite a while and it's time to be back in the saddle, running against time, don't hesitate, otherwise later there would always be excuses and other distractions to hold you back. That far-away dream for overseas study has always been rooted in my heart, yet always seems so distant and untouchable. Well, it's time to bring it to the table and really reinforce myself it's time to make it happen. Otherwise, I'll end up being the kind of person I hate , settling down in a cosy life an find many excuses to forgive oneself for not being the one they aspire to be. But still, room isn't built in one day, it takes time, unremitting efforts are required to be better , and continuous real practices to remind myself of those beliefs reinforced again in the projector this time:
1. sometimes,to push yourself a little bit, the negative emotion at the beginning might be converted to be positive as you focus more , and immersion later will bring real spiritual fulfillment.
2. To learn from every project and to look back of for review and pursuit of perfection. Currently, my inadequate vocabulary of terminology and frequently used phrases , poor skill in editing in word and PPT, self-doubt and self-denial brings down the efficiency a lot, those issues should be avoided or improved in later projects, through more practices an reinforcement, psychological adjustment.
3. To always remind myself of the joy by proving myself and no hesitation or procrastination to hold back things, running against time now , a long way to go, during the process, look back for reviewing mistakes and looking forward with hope to expect more.
4. That I can actually pull it off by pushing myself should be reinforced and addressed in later plan, as I wouldn't push myself that much before, but worth a shot form now on, for a better level in the things I focus on now and a better financial situation to enable me to do more things I desired to do, with myself, with Coco and Nicole , with XM.
5. So priorities now: translation&interpreting , time management to strike a balance with my work about marketing. Always in preparation for next move, next change, or a travel without plan ahead. Management about Relationship with XM as I am more sure about something， to appreciate the luck that I met him， to enjoy the blossom of youth and achieve some milestones. Make full use of my time, avoid things for temporary enjoyment with later regrets.
