🎯  A Practical Guide to Taking Control of Your Life - Cate Hall
摘要：Cate Hall 分享了她從癮君子變成億萬基金會領導者的轉變過程，她強調個人能動性（personal agency） 是掌控人生的關鍵。
1.  Five years ago, I was a prisoner in my own life. I was hopelessly addicted to drugs.
*a prisoner 一個囚犯 *hopelessly沒有希望地 *be addicted to 對… 成癮
西方思維:  演講者常透過個人故事來開始演講。
2. This talk isn't about addiction per se, but I'm telling you this because I really need you to understand where I'm coming from, how trapped I was, before I tell you that my life is amazing now. I'm clean, first and foremost. *addiction 成癮 *per se 本質上  *How trapped I was. 當時受困極深  
*I’m clean, first and foremost. 我戒毒了(用clean乾淨，不碰毒品) *first and foremost 最重要的是
西方思維:  真誠地表達自己經歷，這是西方演講中建立 信任與共鳴 的典型做法。
3. What I do want to talk about today is how I got from point A to point B. What changed?
It's not that I got smarter or that I started trying harder.
*from point A to point B 從A點到B點  *get smarter 變聰明 *start trying harder 更努力 
4. It was developing a sense of personal agency, which I think about as the capacity to both see and act on all of the degrees of freedom we actually have. It's about being able to find the hidden doors in the walls of life."  *a sense of 一種感覺  *personal agency 個人能動性 *capacity 能力 *all degrees of freedoms自由度 *find the hidden doors 找到隱藏的門  (潛在機會或選擇)
5. Intelligence is on tap now, so agency is even more important.   *intelligence 智慧 *on tap隨手可得 (水龍頭可以隨時使用) *agency 個人能動性 (自主掌控決策能力)
6. By the time I went to rehab, I definitely had the gift of desperation. Because I felt like I had nothing left to lose. And that made me fearless and hungry.*rehab 戒毒治療中心 *the gift 禮物 *desperation *have nothing to lose沒有甚麼可以損失的 *fearless 無懼的 *hungry 渴望的
西方思維: 危機或絕望能促使個人突破困境。勇敢面對挑戰並積極追求目標
7. First, assume everything is learnable. Second, court rejection. Third, seek real feedback. 
*learnable 可以學習的 *court rejection 法院駁回 (法律申請或案件未被法院接受)
西方思維: 透過努力與策略可以學任何事，挫折是學習和成長的契機，反思與行動改善。          Source: https://youtu.be/gN07gbipMoY
