來源How Wanting Something with Your Whole Being Makes it a Reality
譯者csq3011
Desire is the bread and butter of success. If you don’t desire your goals enough, you won’t be able to muster the motivation to go after them, the courage to put yourself out there and you will not be able to tap into the enormous potential your desperation will let you access.
欲望是成功之母。如果你成功的欲望不強(qiáng),就沒法有足夠的動(dòng)力去實(shí)現(xiàn)它。你的勇氣無處釋放,那種不顧一切為了達(dá)到成功彼岸而激發(fā)的巨大潛力也消失殆盡。
Everyone has dreams and goals in their lives. But most don’t believe that it is possible possible or don’t want them enough to care. To succeed you need to harness you dreams into an obsession, a burning desire that allows you to push yourself further then you every could without.
每個(gè)人在自己的人生中都有夢(mèng)想和目標(biāo)。但是大多數(shù)人覺得這不大可能實(shí)現(xiàn)或不怎么重視。要成功,你要鞭策自己讓夢(mèng)想成為一種你不能缺少的魔力,一種燃燒的欲望,把你推向成功的境地。
The Most Successful People in the World
世界上最成功的人
If you look at the successful people in our community the only thing they have in common is that they wanted something and they went and got it.
如果你瞧瞧我們社區(qū)里那些成功人士,他們的共同點(diǎn)是:他們想要得到什么,一定是去爭(zhēng)取過并最后夢(mèng)想成真。
We have people with lots of education, no education, rich backgrounds, poor families, different ethnic backgrounds, some who were popular growing up, others who were outsiders.
我們這里有受過高等教育的人,有文盲,有家境不錯(cuò)的人,有來自貧困家庭的人,還有一些不同種族的人。一些人是含著金鑰匙長(zhǎng)大的,而另一些做夢(mèng)都不可能和他們一樣。
The only thing all these people have in common is their desire, they all have a burning desire to succeed.
這些人唯一的共同點(diǎn)是:欲望——如火焰一般熊熊燃燒著的渴望成功的欲望。
Chris Gardner
克里斯加納
If you have seen the movie “The Pursuit of Happiness” about Chris Gardner’s life you will have seen how a dream can change a life.
如果你看過關(guān)于描寫克里斯加納人生的電影—–《當(dāng)幸福來敲門》,你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)夢(mèng)想是如何強(qiáng)大到足以改變生活的。
He was a black man from a small town with very little education. One day he makes the decision to change his life. He is going to be a stock broker and he stakes his entire future on that goal.
他是一個(gè)來自小鎮(zhèn)上沒什么文化的黑人。一天,他決定要改變自己的生活。他打算成為一名股票經(jīng)紀(jì)人,并且把一生的都賭在上面。
He tells his son “If you want something, go get it. Period.”
他告訴他的兒子:如果你想得到一件東西,去爭(zhēng)取吧。
That is the same philosophy we all have to adopt if we are to succeed.
如若我們想取得成功,道理亦是如此。
No one is going to make it easy
萬事開頭難。
We have all hit hard times, it is the will to succeed that can turn it around and make your dreams reality.
我們都有過艱難時(shí)刻,這是成功的動(dòng)力,最終讓夢(mèng)想照進(jìn)現(xiàn)實(shí)的原因。
When I was new in sales I had become one of the top salesmen at my company.
當(dāng)我還是只是個(gè)剛來的銷售員時(shí),我成了公司里業(yè)務(wù)最拔尖的一個(gè)。
I worked hard every day and dreamed about getting a managerial position.
我每天都努力工作,期望有一天坐上管理層的位置。
After 18 months of toil a spot opened up. I considered myself an obvious choice for the role so I applied, and get the answer, “You are too valuable a salesman, we cannot loose your sales figures. Sorry.”
在經(jīng)過18個(gè)月之后的磨練后,一個(gè)職位公開競(jìng)選了。我覺得自己適合這個(gè)職位所以申請(qǐng)了,可是得到的結(jié)果是,“你太適合做銷售了,公司少了你業(yè)務(wù)量一定下滑,很抱歉!”
This put me down and it took a long time for me to get my motivation back. At last I realized that it was up to me if I was going to get a managerial position.
我失望之極,花了很長(zhǎng)一段實(shí)踐才重新恢復(fù)動(dòng)力。最后我想要不要申請(qǐng)一個(gè)管理層職位還是我說了算的。
I started working hard again. Harder then ever before. I started asking for more responsibility, for opportunities to lead and prove that I could handle the role.
我又開始努力工作了,而且比以前更努力。我希望承擔(dān)更多的職責(zé),得到更多領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的機(jī)會(huì)以此來證明我就是領(lǐng)導(dǎo)這塊料。
Within 5 months the company created a new managerial position for me. The only reason I got the position was because I wanted it so badly.
5個(gè)月之內(nèi),我得到了一個(gè)管理層的位置。唯一的解釋是:我死都想得到這個(gè)位置。
Conclusion
結(jié)論
Anything you want and anything you dream about can be yours, if you want it. All it takes is a desire so strong that it almost becomes an obsession combined with a focused effort on that goal until it becomes a reality.
只要你想,任何東西,夢(mèng)想中的東西都會(huì)屬于你的。只要你的欲望足夠強(qiáng)大,強(qiáng)大到不達(dá)目的誓不罷休的境界,一切都會(huì)成真的。
Sooner or later your goal will become truth and you will have what you have dreamed about.
總有一天,你會(huì)達(dá)成所愿的。
