生活哲理:阻碍你成功的10大谎言

1. You can follow your dreams someday, but right now you need to buckle down and be responsible. Someday? When is someday?Someday is not a day at all. Its a foggy generalization of a time that will likely never come. Today is the only day guaranteed to you. Today is the only day you can begin to make a difference in your life. And pursuing your dreams is what life is all about. So dont be irresponsible. Dont wait until someday. Make today the first day of the rest of your new life.

等以后有一天，你可以追求你的梦想，但现在你最好抑制下，要对自己负责。有一天， 哪一天是有一天?有一天根本不是一个具体的日期。它基本上就是一个永不出现的时间。今天才是你能使用的日子。今天是你可以将你生活变得不同的唯一一天。而追求你的梦想是你的生命意义所在。所以不要不负责任。不要等到那所谓的有一天。把今天就变成新生活的第一天。

2. Youre totally screwed if it doesnt work out. This is a giant, lame load of BS. Youre not even close to being screwed. In fact, the worst case scenario is that things dont work out and you have to go back to doing exactly what you are doing right now.

如果不成功，你就死定了。这是一个错误的想法。你甚至不会因此接近被折磨的境地。实际上，最糟糕的无非是没成功，你不得不重操旧业。

3. Its safer to stay at your day job. Sure, I suppose. But you know whats even safer than that? Going home, locking yourself in your bedroom, and never, ever coming out. And just like that you will have flushed your entire life and your dreams down the toilet. Remember, safer doesnt always mean better.

停留在你现在的工作上比较安全。没错，我同意。但你知道怎样更安全吗?回家，把自己锁在卧室里，从此闭门不出。像那样的话，你就把你的整个生活和梦想都冲进了马桶。记住，更安全不意味着更好。

4. Thats impossible! Its only impossible if you never do anything about it. The reason certain things seem impossible is simply because nobody has achieved them yet. But this doesnt mean that with your help these things wont become possible in the future. If you truly dedicate yourself to an end result, almost anything is possible.

那是不可能的!如果你什么都不做才是不可能的呢。某件事情看上去不太可能的原因只是因为现在还没有人做到罢了。但是这不意味着将来你来做这件事也会不成功。如果你真的投身于某件事，几乎任何事情都可能做到。

5. Only a lucky few make it. Thats because those lucky few got off their rear ends and did something about it! They had the drive, determination, and willpower that you have right now. You can be one of them. Its up to you, and only you.

只有很少一部分人能成功。这是因为这些幸运儿动手做了些什么。他们有的就是你现在有的动力，决心和意志力。你能够成为他们中的一员。这取决于你，仅仅是你。

6. You might fail. And failing is bad. Failures are simply stepping stones to success. No matter how it turns out, it always ends up just the way it should be. Either you succeed or you learn something. The biggest mistake you can make is doing nothing because youre too scared to make a mistake. If you cant handle failure, then you cant handle success either.

你可能会失败，而失败是可怕的。失败仅仅是成功的基石。无论结果是什么，最后总会是应得的：或者你成功了，或者你学到了什么。最大的错误是你因为害怕犯错误而什么都不做。如果你无法应对失败，你就无法应对成功。

7. You dont have access to the right resources. Its not about having the right resources; its about exploiting the resources you do have access to.

你没有足够的资源。这不是有没有足够资源的问题，而是你如何得到你现有的资源。

8. You need more money saved before you can take the first step. You dont need more money. You need a plan. You need a budget. Eliminate all the nonessential costs in your life. Dont be foolish and assume that you must have a certain amount of money saved right now, or that you must quit your day job today in order to pursue your dreams. Instead, ask yourself, What actions can I take right now with the money and resources I have right now that will bring me closer to desired goal?

你在开始前，你得先存够钱。你需要的不是更多钱，而是一个计划。你需要做个预算，避免生活中所有不必要的开支。不要傻了，不要以为你一定要现在就有一笔钱或者你必须今天就辞职去追求梦想。相反，问问自己我现在有的资源和金钱可以用来做些什么使得我离目标更近些?

9. You dont need any help. Its smarter to go after it alone. You are the sum of the people you spend the most time with. If you hang with the wrong people, they will negatively affect you. But if you hang with the right people, you will be far more capable and powerful than you ever could have been alone. Find your tribe and work together to make a difference in all of your lives.

你不需要任何帮助。最好是自己一个人做。你最了解自己。如果你结交了错误的伙伴，他们将带来负面的影响。但如果你选对了人，就能比一个人的时候能力更强。所以找到你的伙伴，一起做出与众不同的改变。

10. That sounds like a lot of hard work. I think success in life hinges on one key point: Finding hard work you love doing. As long as you remain true to yourself and follow your own interests, values and dreams, you can find success through passion. If you catch yourself working hard and loving every minute of it, dont stop. Youre on to something big. Because hard work arent hard when you concentrate on your passions and dreams.

听上去需要很多艰苦的工作。你说得对：实现梦想当然需要艰苦地工作!但这并不意味着你不值得这么做。我认为成功的生活有一个关键：找到你乐意为之努力的工作。只要你保持本心，追随你的兴趣，价值观和梦想，你的激情将引导你通向成功。如果你努力自己的事业，喜欢从事它的每一分钟，那么不要停下来。你会成就大事业。当你聚焦在你的激情和梦想时，艰苦的工作就不会苦了。

Disregard these misguided bits of nonsense and youll be well on your way to fulfilling your dreams. Now get out there and make a splash!

抛弃这些错误观点，你就会踏上追梦的道路。那么现在就出发，成就一番大事业吧。
