安利六种习惯,给正在奋斗的的你
“想做就做“耐克
如果很容易,每个人都会做。现实是,这很难,任何值得建造的东西都需要牺牲和努力。
If it were easy, everyone would do it. The reality is, it's hard as hell. Anything worth building is going to take sacrifice and hard work.
成功人士知道并承认这一点。他们每天都有一种“只管去做”的心态,即使这感觉像是一场巨大的斗争。
Successful people know this and recognize it. They have an everyday mentality to “just do it” even when it feels like an immense struggle.
即使他们不想起床去写书的下一章,他们还是会这样做。
Even when they don't want to get out of bed and write the next chapter of their book, they just do.
即使他们的膝盖受伤,他们不想继续为马拉松训练,他们还是会继续训练。

教育是当一个人忘记了在学校学到的知识后剩下的东西。”爱因斯坦
“Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.” -Albert Einstein
当然,最好的例子就是那些从大学辍学的成功典范,他们后来成为了世界上最伟大的人:乔布斯、盖茨、戴尔、阿桑奇、扎克伯格等。
Of course the best illustration of this is all the success paragons who were college drop outs that went on to be some of the biggest names in the world: Jobs, Gates, Dell, Assange, Zuckerberg etc.
这当然是一种过度的赞美。许多成功典范都是建立在你可能在学术领域学到的知识基础上,并将其变成自己的专长。
That of course is an over glorification. Many success paragons took a foundation of knowledge that perhaps you can learn in the academic realm and made it into their own expertise.
他们终生学习这门手艺——任何手艺。他们好奇到了痴迷的程度。他们阅读、做笔记、进行修补和实验,这些都使他们成为所在行业的天文学专家。
They are life long students of the craft- any craft. They are curious to a point of obsession. They read and make notes and tinker and experiment that all builds them into an astronomical expert with their given industry.

他们习惯于用“不”作为他们的答案。
They make a habit of giving “no” as their answer.
做自己
詹姆斯•阿尔图切尔说得更为形象:“如果说的不是‘当然’,那就是‘不’”
“If something is not a "hell, YEAH!", then it's a "no!” -James Altucher
我们生活在这样一个世界里,你可以得到任何东西,只要按几个按钮就可以得到。
We live in a world where everything and anything can be given to you or achieved with the pressing of a few buttons.
有时候,有太多的机会给了你,你不想拒绝。然而,当你这么做的时候,你就会被其他人的心血来潮所抛弃。
Sometimes, there are so many opportunities given to you that you don't want to reject the offering.When you do this, however, you are thrown the the whim of other people.
成功的人按照自己的意愿生活。他们就像一棵树的根:他们生长并巩固他们在周围世界的地位。
Successful people live by their own accord. They are like the roots of a tree: they grow and solidify their standing in the world around them.
不成功的人就像树上的叶子,受外力漫无目的的吹来吹去。
Unsuccessful people are like the leaves of a tree: they blow around aimlessly by external forces.
他们养成逆水行舟的习惯。They make a habit of going against the current.

让自己在这个世上不停地尝试不同角色才是人生一大成就! ——拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生
“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” ― Ralph Waldo Emerson
取得重大成功的人看到当前趋势,就会立即反其道而行之。
People of major success see current trends and immediately go against it.
40年前,个人电脑的想法是可笑的。不是为了工作。即使在20年前,私人公司进入外太空的想法也被认为是宏伟的尝试,而不是为了马斯克。
40 years ago, the idea of a personal computer was laughable. Not for Jobs. Even 20 years ago, the idea of a private company going into outer space was thought of as a grandiose endeavor, not for Musk.
成功的人都有怀疑的习惯。他们一遍又一遍地问自己“为什么?”
Successful people make a habit of being a skeptic.They ask themselves over and over “why?”
“为什么世界是这个样子而不是那个样子?”
Why is the world this way and not that way?
为什么完成这项任务的过程是这样的?
Why is the process of completing this task done like this?
为什么我们不能用私人资金来资助太空探索,把一辆敞篷跑车放在最先进的太空火箭上飞向太阳?
Why can't we fund space exploration on private funding and send a roadster atop a state-of-the-art space rocket towards the sun?
成功的典范认为他们可以。
Success paragons think they can.
他们养成了自嘲的习惯。
They make a habit of laughing at themselves.
“要想真正笑出来,你必须能够承受痛苦,并且能够玩得开心!”-查理.卓别林
"To truly laugh, you must be able to take your pain, and play with it!" -Charlie Chaplin
成功人士懂得严肃和谦逊之间的微妙之处。
Successful people realize the fine dance between being serious and being humble.
他们非常重视自己的技术和驾驶。然而,他们明白这个世界可能是多么荒谬。
They take their craft and their drive unbelievably serious. Yet they understand how absurd the world may perhaps be.
他们最擅长自嘲。以美国前总统巴拉克·奥巴马为例,每个人都能回忆起他在担任总统期间拿自己开涮的情景。
They have the ability to laugh at themselves above all. Take for instance former President Barack Obama. Everyone can recall a time he was able to poke fun at himself during his tenure as President.
无论是在过去的书信晚宴上,还是在采访中。他极力宣扬自己的谦卑。如果你没有它,你会把自己逼疯的
Whether it was during the Correspondence Dinners of the past or perhaps in an interview. He preached his own humility above all. If you don't have it, you can drive yourself mad.
他们养成了倾听周围世界的习惯。

Successful people are always learning. They also understand that everyone on the planet has a “nugget” of information that they can learn from.
大多数成功的企业家都会告诉你,他们为成功创业、应用或产品而组建的团队是他们成功的原因。
Most successful entrepreneurs will tell you that the team they put in place to make the successful venture or app or product was the reason for the success.
他们是那种疯狂到可以开发想法并组建团队的人,但他们知道自己无法将想法变成现实。
They are the one's crazy enough to develop the idea and get the team in place, however they know that they cannot make the idea come to life on their own.
他们需要比他们更聪明的人站在他们一边,以便实现任何有价值的事情。他们倾听这些聪明人的意见,并相应地运用他们的知识天赋。
They need people smarter than them to be on their side in order to achieve anything worth while. They listen to these smart people and use their gifts of knowledge accordingly.
他们养成了教别人的习惯。
They make a habit of teaching others.
“让我们努力教导慷慨和利他主义,因为我们生来就是自私的。"理查德·道金斯
"Let us try to teach generosity and altruism, because we are born selfish.” -Richard Dawkins
