英文原文
You only plan your pleasure, and you don't ever plan on having any pain. If you spend all of your life trying to avoid everything that's uncomfortable, I can just tell you right now, you're gonna have one wretched, miserable life. You're gonna be old, and all you're gonna have is regrets.
你只計劃享受快樂,卻從未計劃承受痛苦。如果你一生都在試圖逃避所有不舒服的事情,那我現(xiàn)在就可以告訴你,你將會過上悲慘的生活。等你老了,你將只剩下遺憾。
So ask yourself, am I practicing self-discipline in my life? Am I doing the things that I should do, because I need to do them, or am I kind of waiting to feel the moment out? The things that you do and that you don't do are far more important than you think.
所以問問自己,我是否在生活中自律?我是否在做我應(yīng)該做的事情,因為我需要去做,還是我只是在等待,去感受那一刻的到來?你所做的和未做的事情,比你想象的要重要得多。
We can do something extraordinary with our lives, but you need to discipline yourself every day. Greatness will cost you something, not somebody else. It'll cost you something. It's going to cost you some time, it's going to cost you some energy, it's going to cost you some sacrifice. It might cost you some resources, it might cost you some hours of your life laying down, paying the price and going the extra mile, doing what other people are not willing to do. That's greatness. And greatness is not cheap. Greatness always costs more. That's why there's not many people who achieve greatness. They're not willing to pay the price.
我們可以用生命創(chuàng)造非凡的成就,但你需要每天自律。偉大是需要付出代價的,不是讓別人替你付出。它需要你付出一些東西。它會消耗你的時間,消耗你的精力,需要你做出犧牲。它可能會消耗你的資源,可能會消耗你生命中的幾個小時,去付出努力,去超越常人,去做別人不愿意做的事情。這就是偉大。而且偉大并不廉價。偉大總是需要付出更多。這就是為什么成就偉大的人并不多。他們不愿意付出代價。
