釜山行什么引起的尸变:我喜欢和妻子一起工作的10个原因

Today is mine and  Ev’Yan‘s fourth anniversary, and it’s got me thinking a lot about love and business.

今天是我和Ev’Yan‘s的4周年结婚纪念日，在这个特殊的日子，我重新思索了爱情与事业的关系。

A lot of people don’t tie these two things together, but over the last two years of running my business with my wife, I’ve been wondering how things would be different if I didn’t.

I can’t imagine what operating Illuminated Mind would be like if it wasn’t completely and utterly injected with love, and given everything I have to give. The reason I’m able to give myself completely to this pursuit is because of the support of my wife, her devotion and inspiration.

On this blog I talk a lot about how balance is overrated and why you should decompartmentalize your life. For the past 2 + years I have been living that philosophy with Illuminated Mind. My wife is deeply involved in the nuts and bolts and sweat and tears of this business. For most people, that would be something taboo. Like oil and water, they want to keep their work and life as separate as possible; business and pleasure undeniably distinguishable. Fuck that.

I’m deeply grateful to have love and business be totally indiscernable.

As a celebration and acknowledgment of that, these are the reasons I love working with my wife:

为了表示对妻子的感谢，并“颂扬”妻子为我所做的一切。

我列出了和老婆一起工作的10大好处：

1.She inspires me to be more bold and ruthlessly authentic on this blog and in life.

 1，她鼓励我做一个在工作和生活中都能无所畏惧和敢于批判的人。

2.She keeps this place from falling apart (and me looking like a total dumbass).

 2，她阻止了梦想的崩塌。（而我看起来像一个十足的笨蛋）

3.She pushes me to be a better, more eloquent writer (she is an incredibly beautiful writer herself, and the reason I started writing in the first place).

 3，她促使我成为一个更优秀和更富表现力的作家。（我妻子是一个非常美丽的女作家，这也是我决定写作的首个原因）

4.Her vegan chocolate chip cookies after a long day are life changing.

 4，吃一口她做的素食巧克力曲奇饼干，或许能够成为这一天创作的转折点。

5.She’s an incredible editor, even though I hate how much she bitches at me for my (blundering) use of commas.

 5，她是一个不可思议的编辑，即便我十分憎恶她在我逗号使用不当的情况下，对自己出言不逊。

6.She gives me permission to be lazy when I’m feeling uninspired.

 6，当我没有创作灵感的时候，她能允许我偷偷懒。

7.She’s the most beautiful business partner to wake up to in the morning. :)

 7，她是你早上醒来能见到的最漂亮的业务伙伴。：）

8.She balances the checkbook (enough said).

 8，支票簿的账目都是由老婆来核对的。（不用多说了）

9.She is my best friend; there is no one I would rather hang out with more.

 9，她是我最好的朋友，我最愿意和她住在一起。

   10.She helps me embrace the gifts that I have to offer the world, and gives me the courage to release them. She is unwaveringly supportive in everything I do.

While I could easily list more, these are the biggest reasons I love working with my wife. I regularly tell people that I wake up excited about the work that I get to do, and Ev’Yan has a lot to do with that.

虽然，我可以轻而易举地列出更多的原因，但以上的原因才是最重要的。我常常告诉别人，每天起床的时候，我都对工作充满激情，而这与Ev’Yan是分不开的。

 All right, Ev’Yan and I are off to sip wine (root beer for her) and have a relaxing day together. If you ever get a chance to work with your partner, I highly recommend it.

好，Ev’Yan和我准备喝点小酒，并开始属于我们俩愉快轻松的一天。如果你也有机会和另一半一起工作的话，可千万不要错过。
