精彩摘句:
I went to college, I went and worked out five hours a day. And I was working on construction, because in those days in body-building, there was no money. I didn't have the money for food supplements or anything. So I had to go to work. So I worked in construction, I went to college and worked out in the gym. And at night from 8 o'clock at night to 12 midnight. I went to acting class four times a week. I did all that. There was not one single minute that I wasted. And this is why I standing here today.
在大學(xué)里,我每天訓(xùn)練五個(gè)小時(shí)。同時(shí)還在工地里干活,因?yàn)槟菚r(shí)候做健美的根本沒(méi)有錢(qián)。我沒(méi)有錢(qián)去買(mǎi)食物或其它別的東西,我不得不去工作。我在工地里干活,去大學(xué)的健身房健身,從晚上八點(diǎn)一直到午夜十二點(diǎn),每周還去上四次表演課。我做了所有的這些事情,沒(méi)有浪費(fèi)任何一分鐘,這就是我今天能夠站在這里的原因。
You see, if you don't have a vision of where you go, and if you don't have a goal where you go, you drift around and you never end up anywhere.
如果你對(duì)于自己要去向哪沒(méi)有任何想法,不知道自己的目標(biāo)是什么,你將四處漂泊沒(méi)有終日。
74% of people hate their job in America. The majority of people don't like what they're doing, because they're not doing it, because they didn't have a goal and then followed this goal. They're just aimlessly drift around and there's a job opening, so they get their job because they need to work. But then when you work, it's a chore. It's work. It's not fun. So if you think about it, only a quarter of people really enjoy what they're doing in life.
74%的美國(guó)人討厭他們的工作,大多數(shù)人并不喜歡他們正在做的事。因?yàn)樗麄兏静皇钦嬲卦凇白觥?,因?yàn)樗麄儧](méi)有目標(biāo)也沒(méi)有努力朝著它奮斗,他們只是毫無(wú)目的地漂泊。遇到一份現(xiàn)成的工作時(shí),他們就拿到了一份工作僅僅是出于需要。但真的開(kāi)始做時(shí)卻發(fā)現(xiàn)它只是乏味瑣事,只是工作,毫無(wú)趣味。所以你想想看,只有四分之一的人真正在生活中享受他們的工作啊。

I hate Plan B, because we have so many doubters. We have so many of those people that say “no” and “you can't do it” “it's impossible”. But when you start doubting yourself, that's very dangerous, Because now what you're basically saying is that if my plan doesn't work, I have a fallback plan, I have a plan B. And that means you’re start thinking about Plan B. Every thought that you put into Plan B, you're taking away that thought and that energy from plan A.
我討厭備選計(jì)劃,因?yàn)槲覀兩磉呌刑喑謶岩蓱B(tài)度的人,我們身邊有太多的人會(huì)說(shuō)“不”“你做不了的”“絕對(duì)不可能”的人。但如果你自己也懷疑自己時(shí),那真的很危險(xiǎn)。因?yàn)檫@基本上就等于在說(shuō)如果我的計(jì)劃沒(méi)有成功,我還有一條退路,我還有一個(gè)備選計(jì)劃。這就意味著你已經(jīng)開(kāi)始想備選計(jì)劃。每當(dāng)你開(kāi)始想備選計(jì)劃,你就已經(jīng)消耗了可以放在最優(yōu)計(jì)劃里的想法和能量。

And it's very important to understand that we function better if there is no safety net.I'm telling you I've never ever had a plan B. ... To me, it is very dangerous to have a plan B, because you're cutting yourself off from the chance of really succeeding.
重要的是,你必須明白沒(méi)有安全網(wǎng)時(shí)我們反而會(huì)表現(xiàn)得更好。我告訴你們我從來(lái)沒(méi)有過(guò)備選計(jì)劃。對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)有備選計(jì)劃是很危險(xiǎn)的,因?yàn)樗鼘?huì)阻斷你獲得真正成功的機(jī)會(huì)。

And the reason one of the main reasons why people want to have a plan B is because they are worried about failing. What if I fail then I don't have anything else? well, let me tell you something. Don't be afraid of failing, because there's nothing wrong with failing, You have to fail in order to climb that ladder. There's no one that doesn't fail.
人們想要備選計(jì)劃的主要原因之一在于因?yàn)樗麄兒ε率?。萬(wàn)一我失敗了一無(wú)所有怎么辦?那么,讓我告訴你,不要害怕失敗,因?yàn)槭](méi)有錯(cuò)。你必須失敗才能開(kāi)始攀登成功的階梯,沒(méi)有人不失敗。
Michael Jordan said in one of his interviews when they said “you're unbelievable”“you the greatest basketball player of all times, and he says “well, you just mentioned the successes”,but he says “For me, to become the greatest basketball player, I missed 9,000 shots when I was playing basketball the NBA games.” So, during this games that he was so successful, he missed 9000 shots. Does it make him a failure? No. He is one of the greatest basketball player of all times, but he failed 9,000 times! Do you get it? We all fail! It's okay.
邁克爾喬丹在一次采訪中,聽(tīng)到自己被譽(yù)為“不可思議的”“有史以來(lái)最偉大的籃球運(yùn)動(dòng)員”時(shí)他說(shuō):“你只提到了成功”。他接著說(shuō)“對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō),成為最偉大的球員之前我在NBA球場(chǎng)上投丟了9000次。”所以,在這些屬于他的如此成功的球賽里,他投丟了9000次。這讓他失敗了嗎?不。他是有史以來(lái)最偉大的球員之一,但他失敗了9000次。你明白了嗎?我們都會(huì)失敗!沒(méi)關(guān)系。
What is another case is when you fail you stay down, whoever stays down is a loser. Winners will fail and get up, fail and get up, fail and get up. You always get up, that is a winner.
另一種情況是當(dāng)你失敗沉淪的時(shí)候,如果一直沉淪下去,你就是一個(gè)失敗者。成功的人會(huì)失敗但也會(huì)重新站起來(lái),失敗再站起來(lái),失敗再站起來(lái)。你一定會(huì)站起來(lái),這才是成功的人。

So, relax. It's okay to fail. let's just go all out and give it everything that you got!. That's what it is all about, So, don't be afraid to fail!
所以,放松去做吧。失敗也沒(méi)關(guān)系,讓我們?nèi)σ愿?,拼盡全力。這就是成功的真諦。不要害怕失敗!
