记住我们为什么做某事
Remembering why we are doing something
有时候我忘了为什么我在做，我在做什么。
Sometimes I forget why I'm doing, what I'm doing.
你曾有过这种经历吗？
Have you ever done that?
我并不仅仅是在谈论记忆问题，虽然那也是有可能的。
I'm not just talking about a memory problem, although that's possible too.
我曾经打电话给某人，因为我想告诉他们什么。
I have called someone because I want to tell them something.
然后，在选择合适的地方后，还没有谈论什么特别的东西的时候。
And then, after just choosing the place for a while, not talking about anything particular.
哦，我忘记了自己为什么要首先给那人打电话。
Well, I forget why I called that person in the first place.
这是一个记忆问题。
That's a memory problem.
我想那很重要。
I guess that counts too.
但我在谈论一个更深层次的问题，而且更为重要，那就是为什么？
But I'm talking about a deeper problem, a bigger, why?
在某一个时期， 我们做某事会有一个理由。
At one point, there was a reason we do something.
对于长期项目，我们需要提醒自己原因。
For long-term projects, we need to remind ourselves of that reason.
总是可以问问自己为什么。
It's always could to ask ourselves why.

Why did I start to learn a language?
为什么我加入这个俱乐部？
Why did I join this club?
为什么我的朋友是这个人？
Why my friend was this person?
为什么我要结婚？

如果我们迷失在做什么，在生命中，在每天的存在，那么我们不能说为什么。
If we get lost in the doing, in the living, in the everyday of being, then we can not say why.
我想我们需要确实提醒自己为什么。
I think we need indeed remind us of why.
否则很难完成我们所开始的。
Or else it's tough to finish what we started.
我们停止开始。我们退出俱乐部。
We stop starting. We quit the club.
我们结束我们的友谊。我们的婚姻出现裂痕。
We end our friendships. Our marriages get damaged.
问为什么没什么问题。
There's nothing wrong with asking why.
事实上，我认为有时候它会很健康的帮助我们珍惜所拥有的及正在做的事情。
In fact, sometimes I think it can be very healthy and help we appreciate what you have and what you are doing.
