成功路上欺骗自己的十大谎言（中英双语） -凯发k8ag旗舰厅真人平台

tere are ten ill-advised tips (lies) people will likely tell you when you decide to pursue your dreams and the reasons why they are dreadfully mistaken:

在你追求梦想的道路上，总有一些身边关心你的人给你些欠考虑的小意见（其实就是谎言），他们其实都错得离谱！

1.you can follow your dreams someday, but right now you need to buckle down and be responsible.

总有一天你可以追逐自己的梦想，不过现在你需要认真对待生活负起责任来。

someday? when is “someday”? “someday” is not a day at all. today is the only day guaranteed to you. today is the only day you can begin to make a difference in your life. don’t wait until “someday.” make today the first day of the rest of your new life.

总有一天？总有一天是什么时候？它根本不算一天。今天才是你唯一能保证的，你只有今天，从今天开始为你的生活做出些改变，别等到“总有一天”，让今天成为你下半辈子新生活的第一天。

2.you’re totally screwed if it doesn’t work out.

要是梦想实现不了，你可就完蛋了。

wrong! this is a giant, lame load of bs. you’re not even close to being screwed. in fact, the worst case scenario is that things don’t work out and you have to go back to doing exactly what you are doing right now.

错！这句话完全是拖后腿的洗脑，你才不会完蛋呢！事实上，最坏的结果也只是你没有实现梦想，然后只能回来接着做你现在正在做的事，如此而已。

3.it’s safer to stay at your day job.

还是继续日常工作吧，这样比较安全。

sure, i suppose. but you know what’s even safer than that? going home, locking yourself in your bedroom, and never, ever coming out. and just like that, you will have flushed your entire life and your dreams down the toilet. remember, safer doesn’t always mean better.

当然，我也这么想，不过你知道还有什么是更安全的么？回家去，把自己锁进卧室，再也别出来。就这样，把自己的整个人生和梦想一起从马桶冲走吧。要记住，更安全并不代表更好。

4.that’s impossible!

不可能会实现！

it’s only impossible if you never do anything about it. the reason certain things seem impossible is simply because nobody has achieved them yet. if you truly dedicate yourself to an end result, almost anything is possible. you just have to want it bad enough.

你什么都不做才真的不可能。有些事情看起来不可能，只是因为还没人成功过而已。要是你真的努力投入想要个最终结果，那一切皆有可能，只要你真的非常想要。

5.only a lucky few “make it.”

只有少数够幸运的家伙才能“做到”。

that’s because those lucky few got off their rear ends and did something about it! they had the drive, determination, and willpower that you have right now. you can be one of them. it’s up to you, and only you.

那是因为这些幸运儿真的行动了为了实现梦想做了些事情！他们有动力，有决心，有毅力，这些你现在都有。你也可以成为被幸运女神眷顾的一员，一切都由你决定，只有靠自己。

6.you might fail. and failing is bad.

你可能会失败，失败很惨呀。

failures are simply stepping stones to success. no matter how it turns out, it always ends up just the way it should be. either you succeed or you learn something: win–win. the biggest mistake you can make is doing nothing because you’re too scared to make a mistake. if you can’t handle failure, then you can’t handle success either.

失败只是成功的垫脚石，不管过程如何，结果就是这样：要么你成功了，要么你从失败中吸取了教训，永远是双赢的结局。你能犯的最大错误，就是因为太害怕犯错而什么都不做。如果你无法应对失败，那你同样也无法应对成功。

7.you don’t have access to the right resources.

你没法获得正确的资源啊。

it’s not about having the right resources; it’s aboutexploiting the resources you do have access to.

追求梦想不是拥有最好的资源，而是开发你所能利用的资源。

8.you need more money saved before you can take the first step.

在你走出第一步前你得攒多点钱。

you don’t need more money. you need a plan. you need a budget. eliminate all thenonessential costs in your life. if pursuing your dream requires you to leave your day job, figure out the absolute minimum amount of income that you realistically require to live. take baby steps and ask yourself, “what actions can i take right now with the money and resources i have right now that will bring me closer to desired goal?”

钱已经够了，你需要的是计划，是预算。消灭生活中所有不重要的开支。如果追求梦想需要你放弃现在的工作，那就算算你实际维持生活需要的绝对最小值收入。一小步一小步的慢慢来，问问你自己：“就我手头的钱和资源我能做些什么，才能让我向终极目标迈进一些呢？”

9. you don’t need any help. it’s smarter to go after it alone.

你不需要任何帮助，独自追求梦想才更明智。

you are the sum of the people you spend the most time with. if you hang with the wrong people, they will negatively affect you. but if you hang with the right people, you will be far more capable and powerful than you ever could have been alone. find your tribe and work together to make a difference in all of your lives.

你和什么样的人待的时间最久，你也会变成这样的人。和错的人混在一起，他们会消极地影响你；和对的人常相处，会让你远比一个人单兵作战的时候更有能力更强大。找到你的部落，一起努力，改变所有人的生活。

10. that sounds like a lot of hard work.

听起来好像会很辛苦耶。

you’re darn right it does! but that doesn’t mean it’s not worth it. as long as you remain true to yourself and follow your own interests, values, and dreams, you can find success through passion. if you catch yourself working hard and loving every minute of it, don’t stop. you’re onto something big. because hard work ain’t hard when you concentrate on your passions and dreams.

没错，你算是说对了！会辛苦，但不代表不值得。只要你坚持真我，跟随自己的兴趣、价值观和梦想，你会透过热情找到成功的法宝。要是你发现自己工作辛苦却很享受，那千万别停下来。你马上要做成一件大事，因为当你全神贯注在热情和梦想上，那些辛苦就根本算不了什么了。
