Jeff Bezos' Timeless Stress-Handling Wisdom: 'Stress Comes From Ignoring Things You Shouldn't Be Ignoring'
Jeff Bezos' Timeless Stress-Handling Wisdom: 'Stress Comes From Ignoring Things You Shouldn't Be Ignoring'
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。”
Why It's Important: Earlier this month, Bezos reclaimed the title of the world's richest person, surpassing Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk. At the time, it was reported that his net worth soared to $200 billion, overtaking Musk's $198 billion. This change in fortune was attributed to a $23 billion increase in Bezos' wealth over the past year, while Musk saw a decrease of around $31 billion.
为什么重要：本月早些时候，贝索斯超越了特斯拉和SpaceX首席执行官埃隆·马斯克，夺回了世界首富的头衔。当时，据报道，他的净资产飙升至200亿美元，超过了马斯克的1980亿美元。这种命运变化归因于贝索斯的财富在过去一年中增加了230亿美元，而马斯克的财富减少了约310亿美元。
According to the Bloomberg Billionaire Index, the Amazon founder is currently the second richest person on Earth, trailing behind Bernard Arnault. Bezos' current net worth stands at $201 billion.
根据彭博亿万富翁指数，亚马逊创始人目前是地球上第二富豪，仅次于伯纳德·阿诺。贝索斯目前的净资产为201亿美元。
