Why are you embarking on a journey, any journey? Why are you on the quest, on what sets your soul on fire? Why? You see, the beauty of human existence lies not in just staying alive but in finding something to live for.

 

人生路漫漫，你是为了什么而出发？为什么你一直追寻你热爱的事情？为什么？人类的伟大之处，不在于生存，而在于为梦想而活。

 

So, knowing the WHY is of utmost importance, and when you do, write it on your heart, visit what you have written every day, ensure that your decisions and actions daily are aligned with these intentions. You must be intentional in your doing.

所以，刚才这几个问题的答案，是非常重要的，你要把它们想清楚，并且记在心里，每天都思考它们，让它们指引你的每个决定、每个行动。你做的事情，必须是有目的的。

 

Now in pursuing your intentions you would learn daily. There's nothing like a self-made mountain. In your journey through life, you would learn and unlearn, and to do this you'll need the help of those who have gone before you, those who are living their lives with purpose. Find them, and attach yourself to them, because if you walk down the right path, eventually you'll make progress.

在追逐梦想的过程中，你每天都会有所收获。自己创造的高峰，是最有意义的。在你的人生旅途中，有时你有所收获，有时你重头再来，要获得成功，你就必须向比你厉害的人求助，他们是有自己人生追求的人。找到这些人，向他们看齐。因为，如果你走的路是对的，那么，你终究会取得进步。

 

On this journey of life, it's not going to be all rosy and smooth sailing. There are times when things will get a little bit confusing. There are times when you will fail. If and when that time comes, I'm going to need you to remember, falling down is an accident, but staying down is a choice.

人生路漫漫，你会遇到彩虹，也会遇到风雨。有时候，眼前的事情可能会让你迷茫。有时候，你会失败。在这种时候，你要记得，跌倒了，是一个意外，但是，从此一蹶不振，就是你自己的选择。

 

Be intentional. It was Abraham Lincoln who said I'm not concerned that you have fallen, I am concerned that you arise. If and when you fail, get back up. Failure is part of the growing process. The really successful people fail their way to success.

要保持自己的理想。林肯曾经说过，我关心的，不是你跌倒了，而是你能够重新站起来。如果你失败了，一定要站起来。失败，是成长过程的一部分。那些真正成功的人，都是经历了无数失败，才取得了成功。

 

What am I trying to say? Well, the thing you see, is that many people have a negative relationship with failure. When you fail, ask yourself, what is this trying to teach me? Don't wallow in despair. That's not going to help you. Don't quit either, because that is when you have indeed failed. What you should do is take the lessons and do it again. Failure is not a death sentence. It is a growth process. As a matter of fact, the earlier you fail, the better. Now is the best time to fail, so fail early, fail often, fail forward.

我想表达的是什么？你看，很多人，不懂得应对失败。在你失败的时候，问问你自己，我能从中获得什么教训？不要绝望，这对你没有任何帮助。你也不要放弃，因为，放弃了，才是真的输了。你应该做的，是吸取教训，重头再来。失败，不是给你判死刑，它是一个成长的过程。事实上，越早失败，越好。现在，就是失败的最佳时机。所以，早点经历失败，多经历失败，并且要越挫越勇，不断进步。

 

You can achieve anything in your life, so long as you set a goal and work towards it. And importantly you must believe in yourself and never quit. But I must warn you, there will come a time when you make cry and feel like you're failing at it. Those days when you struggle, want to give up, and don't want to face the world, remember this, these are the days that define you. Don't quit. Life will throw stones at you. It will get hard sometimes because of the world we have created. But if you stay strong and keep going, then you get to a point where you find out that was worth it.

只要你明确自己的目标，朝着它努力，你就能做成任何事情。重要的是，你要相信自己，永不放弃。但是，我必须提醒你，你会遇到困难，你会哭泣，你会觉得自己就要失败了。你要记住，那些你挣扎的日子，你想要放弃的日子，你想逃避一切的日子，它们决定了你的人生。不要放弃。生活会为你制造困难，有时候一切都很糟糕，因为我们这个世界就是如此。但是，如果你一直保持坚强，保持前进，你就会发现，一切都是值得的。

 

There's a common saying that when life throws lemons at you, what do you do, you make lemonade from it. If you feel you've failed at life, you must develop the courage, the strength, and the wherewithal to rise above this failure, and you can only do this when you're intentional in your actions to rise again. What is it that you want out of life? Where is it? We all want something. What's yours? Visualize that thing that you deeply want and now ask yourself how can I get it? When you visualize success against your fears, your mind starts subconsciously building the will and the skills you'll need to achieve the results.

有句话说得好，如果生活用柠檬砸你，那么，你就拿它们来做柠檬汁吧。如果你觉得自己失败了，你必须要鼓起勇气，整理行装，东山再起。而要想这样做，你就要明确自己的目标，用它来指引自己的行动，重新站起来。你的人生目标是什么？它在哪里？我们都有自己的追求，你的追求是什么？想象你最渴望得到的事情，问你自己，你如何才能获得它？在面临恐惧时，如果你能想象成功，那么，不知不觉地，你的大脑就会培养意志，让你具备必要的技能，得到你想要的收获。

 

Your intentions will guide your actions. When you know and can visualize what it is you want, you have to prepare for it. You have to think long term and then educate yourself, but most importantly you have to practice. Practice and prepare for the steps that are to come in achieving your goals. Don't just be docile and be comfortable watching from the sidelines saying to yourself, oh someday in the future my time will come. No, no, no. Don't do that to yourself.

你的目标，会指引你的行动。当你知道自己的追求是什么，并且想象它，那么你就要准备好做出努力。你必须把目光放长远，让自己不断学习，但最重要的是，你要不断练习。不断练习，为达成目标而做准备。不要懦弱，不要满足于看着别人成功，不要对自己说，我也会有时来运转的一天。不，不，不，不要这样做。

 

Get involved in every growing process. I beg of you. As Mark Twain said, 20 years from now, you'll be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the things you did. Never forget, cowards never start, the week never finish, and winners never quit.

请你全身心投入成长的过程。正如马克吐温所言，20年后，比起那些你做了的事，你没做的事会让你感到很沮丧。请记住，懦夫永远迈不出第一步，弱者永远走不到终点，赢家永远不会放弃。
