7. You don’t have access to the right resources.
你没有通往成功的捷径
It’s not about having the right resources; it’s about exploiting the resources you do have access to. Stevie Wonder couldn’t see, so he exploited his sense of hearing into a passion for music, and he now has twenty-five Grammy Awards to prove it. Get it?
这不是关于如何找到正确的方向,而且关于怎么去探索你要的方向。Steve Wonder是个盲人,所以他找到了他对音乐的热情,而且他现在有25个格莱米大奖来证明这个,懂了么?
8. You need more money saved before you can take the first step.
在你踏出第一步钱你需要节省
You don’t need more money. You need a plan. You need a budget. Eliminate ALL the nonessential 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. Studying those who have succeeded with similar ventures also helps. But above all, take baby steps. Don’t be foolish and assume that you must have a certain amount of money saved right now, or that you must quit your day job today in order to pursue your dreams. Instead, 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?”
你需要的不是更多的前,而是一个计划,你需要一个预算。减除你生活中一切不必要的开支。如果你追逐你的梦想要求你离开现在的工作的话,算出你实际生活需要的收入最小值。学习那些和你有同样经历的成功人士也许会有帮助。但是以上的这些都需要你踏出第一步,现在不要愚蠢的猜测你必须节省出一个确定数目的金额,或者你必须放弃你现在的工作去追逐你的梦想。或者你可以问你自己,“我现在用这些钱能做什么而且我现在所拥有怎样让我更加接近我心中的目标”
9. You don’t need any help. It’s smarter to go after it alone.
你不需要任何帮助,独自追逐梦想更明智。
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.
你和你自己待在一起的时候最多。近朱者赤,近墨者黑。找到自己的同类,并且和他们一起努力,让自己的生活开始有个新的开始。
10. That sounds like a lot of hard work.
这听起来好像有很多困难1
You’re darn right it does! But that doesn’t mean it’s not worth it. I think success in life hinges on one key point: finding hard work you love doing. As long as you remain true to yourself and follow your own interests, values, and dreams, you can find success through passion. Perhaps most importantly, you won’t wake up a few years from now working in a career field you despise, wondering, How the heck am I going to do this for the next thirty years? So 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.
你做的就是对的。但是这并不代表不值得,我认为成功取决于一个关键:找到你喜欢做的,只要你对自己保持真心,并且跟从你自己的兴趣,价值观和梦想,你可以通过你自己的热情找到成功之路。可能最重要的是,你不要再未来的某一天醒悟过来你现在做的事情是你自己都会嗤之以鼻的。我怎么会在以后的30年都做这件事呢?如果你发现你自己开始做你自己喜欢的事情,并且享受其中的每一分钟,那就不要停。你在玩成一件大事。如果你专心在自己的热情和梦想,艰苦的工作也就不苦了。
Disregard these misguided bits of nonsense and you’ll be well on your way to fulfilling your dreams. Now get out there and make a splash!
忽视这些愚蠢的行径和话语,你会在你追逐梦想的道路上做的很好。那现在就逃离去大作一番。
