Don't do it for the money 不要为钱而去做
"Money comes after. If you're planning only to make money and nothing else, you'll be broke."
“钱是次之的东西。如果你只是计划去赚钱而不是为了其他的,你将会失败。”
He continued: "It's a long process, you're not going to achieve what you want overnight, but the more you give, the more you get."
他接着说:"这需要长期的过程,你不可能立马获得你想要的东西,但是你付出的越多,你的回报就越多。"
Compete against yourself 与自己竞赛
When Gebrselassie is running a race, he's doesn't think about what the other athletes are doing, he's too busy racing against himself.
当海里在比赛中跑步时,他不会去想其他运动员正在干什么,他非常专注于与自己比赛。
"I don't think about if I have to be number one, two or three. I don't think I have to win the race, what I'm thinking about is that I have to run faster."
“我不会想是否我能成为第1名还是第2名,第3名。我会去想我必须要赢得这场比赛,我想的是我必须跑得更快。”
That applies to whether you're running a race or racing up the the corporate ladder.
不管你是参加比赛跑步还是在公司往上竞争爬梯子这都适用。
He continued: "You're race is not against other athletes, it's against the time, it's against yourself. I really think this really gives me an advantage. You're not worried about them so much, you focus on what you are doing.
他继续说道:“你不是与其他运动员竞争,你是与时间竞争,与你自己竞争。我认为这使我拥有了一项优势。你不需要担心很多,你只需要专注于你正在做的事情上面。”
