英語美文朗讀 第537期 Becoming successful is a process

Becoming successful is a process. You're moving from downside to the upside. But it's not an easy road. There are bumps and holes, temptations and distractions, pressure and loneliness.

 

走向成功，是一個過程，你從低谷走向高處。但，這并不是一條容易走的路，你會遇到坎坷，誘惑，令你分心的事，壓力，孤獨。

 

While some days you'll get up completely pumped up for doing more and better, other days you'll feel just numb and void of any meaning. But those days when you don't want to act are actually the days when you have to.

有時候，你會充滿動力，想要做更多的事，做得更好，但是，有時候，你也會感到麻木，空虛，覺得一切毫無意義。但是，你什么都不想做的時候，正是你必須行動起來的時候。

 

You know, all those great people that you admire and see as examples of success, integrity, and happiness, they were not born like this. Success was not served to them as a main dish. They heard about it and they decided to go for it. They studied it and they understood the ups and downs that come along while trying to achieve it.

那些你仰慕的人，他們很出色，他們是你的榜樣，他們擁有成功，正直，快樂，但他們并不是生下來就這樣。成功，不是他們隨隨便便就擁有的。他們看到別人成功，然后決定自己也要爭取成功。他們仔細研究，成功到底是怎么一回事。他們明白，要想成功，就要經(jīng)歷起起落落。

 

They too woke up somedays feeling overwhelmed and not in the mood. They too had doubts and second thoughts. We all have such days. But what you do in those low days counts more than what you do in any other day.

他們也曾在早上起來時，感到壓力很大，心情很差。他們也曾感到困惑，遲疑不決。我們都經(jīng)歷過這樣的時候。但是，在這種時候，你如何去應對，是最重要的。

 

Those moments when you want to stay in bed and binge watch Netflix, those days when it feels better to blame the bad weather, those times when you feel like it's too much for you to handle, those are defining moments in your path towards becoming successful.

你想癱在床上瘋狂刷劇的時候，你想埋怨天氣不好的時候，你感覺要做的事情實在太多的時候，這些時候，才是決定你能否成功的關(guān)鍵時刻。

 

It's when you're at your lowest point that you have to pick yourself up and continue, go through the discomfort, feel its pain. You'll get over it, because you are strong enough, resilient enough, and determined enough. How bad do you want it? Answer this question. And start from there.

在你經(jīng)歷人生低谷的時候，你必須要振奮起來，繼續(xù)前行，經(jīng)歷所有的難受和痛苦。你會克服這一切，因為你足夠堅強，足夠堅韌，你的決心足夠堅定。你對成功的渴望有多深？請回答這個問題，然后開始努力。

 

The difference between you and any great leader, CEO, entrepreneur, or successful businessperson is dedication. You want something so bad that you're willing to do whatever it takes to get it.

那些偉大的領(lǐng)導，CEO，企業(yè)家，成功的商人，他們和你最大的不同之處，就是，他們付出了極大的努力。你如果很想擁有一個東西，那么，你就會想盡辦法，付出所有努力，去得到它。

 

You completely dedicate yourself to it. You dedicate your days and nights, every minute and every hour, every workday and every weekend, just to get closer to what you want. You shut off any external noise that tells you differently, because you are so focused on going on that road that leads you to the life you want.

你會全身心投入這件事，日日夜夜，每一分鐘，每一小時，每一天，每個周末，你都會努力，讓自己不斷靠近夢想。外界有人和事干擾你，告訴你，你不該這樣做，但是，你把這些都忽略掉了，因為，你完全專注于自己的路，讓它帶你走向你理想中的生活。

 

Nothing distracts you. Nothing makes you change your mind. You are fully committed to spending time and energy on becoming a master in your field. You have a fire burning within that ignores any low feeling that some of your days might start with.

沒有任何事能使你分心，沒有任何事能讓你改變主意。你全身心投入，付出時間和精力，去成為你的行業(yè)里的專家。在你的心中，有一團持續(xù)燃燒的火焰，它會讓你忽略每天的消極情緒。

 

You want to become better, more successful, more content and happier. If you do, then you're in for the ride of your life. Ups and downs, positive and negative, excited and bored, all of these things will happen to you. But the stronger your desire to succeed is, the easier it will be to go through them.

你想變得更優(yōu)秀，更成功，更滿足，更快樂。如果你真的想這樣，那么你就要全身心投入自己的人生旅程。高潮和低谷，順境和逆境，興奮和疲憊，這些，都會發(fā)生在你的身上。但是，你越渴望成功，你就越容易熬過這些。

 

Anything you want to get for yourself requires you to give something in exchange. Any dream you want to accomplish, asks for your sacrifice. To become better means to break yourself into pieces, so that you can reshape your system in a better form that is able to sustain that bigger and improved life that you want to achieve. So how bad do you want it?

任何你想獲得的東西，都需要付出代價來交換。任何你想實現(xiàn)的夢想，都需要付出犧牲。變得更優(yōu)秀，意味著，你要讓自己化為碎片，這樣你才能重新整合自己，讓自己變得更完善，你才能一直擁有理想中的美好生活。那么，你的渴望，到底有多強烈呢？
