1.你的人生由你自己決定
No matter what your goals are in life,there is one great law that you need to obey in order to be successful:No one else is going to climb the ladder of success for you. No one else is responsible for your health,wealth,happiness,or success. From the day you leave your parents’house and start to make your own choices,you are responsible for your life and the choices you make. You choose the job you work in,the person you live with,and how much you exercise every day. Only you can choose how you spend your time,and the decisions you make on a consistent basis will make or break your life.
無論你的人生目標是什么,為了成功,你都必須遵守一條偉大的法則:沒有人會替你爬上成功的階梯。沒有人對你的健康、財富、幸福或成功負責。從你離開父母家開始做出自己選擇的那一天起,你就要對自己的生活和選擇負責。你可以選擇你的工作,和你一起生活的人,以及你每天鍛煉的時間。只有你才能選擇如何利用自己的時間,你持續做出的選擇將決定你的生活。
If you want a better life,you need to make better decisions. You can blame other people for your lack of results or happiness all life long,but it doesn’t change anything. Only you can change your life by changing the choices you make. Take responsibility for everything in your life,even if you can’t directly influence it. Even if it’s not in your direct control,you can always choose how you respond.
如果你想要更好的生活,你需要做出更好的決定。你可以因為自己一無所成或不夠幸福而責怪別人,但這不會改變任何事。你只能通過改變自己的選擇來改變你的生活。對生活中的每件事負責,即使你不能直接影響它。即使它不在你的直接控制之下,你也可以選擇如何回應。
2.成功最大的敵人
According to motivational speaker Brian Tracy,the biggest enemy to success is the path of least resistance. If you choose what is fun and easy over what is necessary,you will never reach the levels of success and happiness you are capable of achieving in your life. That’s because every great victory requires great sacri-fice. If success was easy,everybody would be successful. But because success in any area of your life requires hard work and sacrifices,most people will never reach their full potential.
勵志演講家布賴恩·特蕾西說,獲得成功的最大敵人是阻力最小的道路。如果你選擇做有趣和容易的事,而不是必要的事,你將永遠無法達到你在生活中能夠達到的成功和幸福的水平。那是因為每一次偉大的勝利都需要巨大的犧牲。如果成功很容易,每個人都會成功。但是,因為在生活的任何領域取得成功都需要努力付出和犧牲,大多數人永遠無法充分發揮出他們的潛力。
Whenever you decide not to do what you should be doing,you not only waste your opportunity to grow as a person,but you also lose confidence in yourself. You start to see yourself as lazy and unsuccessful,and that self-image will become a successful prophecy.
每當你決定逃避你應該做的事情時,你不僅浪費了一個成長的機會,而且也失去了對自己的信心。你開始認為自己懶惰、失敗,然后你就會真的自暴自棄。
To achieve any goal you have,there are only three things you need:A clear vision for what it is you want,a plan to get there,and massive action consistently repeated over time!While the first two parts are the easy parts of the equation,most people struggle with the last part:Hard work.
要實現任何目標,你只需要做三件事:清楚你想要的是什么,一個實現目標的計劃,以及隨著時間的推移不斷重復的大量行動!……
