不想窮下去就仔細看:你可以成功,就看你給不給自己機會

Don’t be afraid of the space between your dreams and reality. If you can dream it, you can make it so.

別對你的夢想和現實之間的差距感到畏懼，如果你有夢想，你就能實現它。

Don't become part of a workplace clique. As much as you might like some coworkers, you should maintain professional boundaries. Don't get drawn into gossiping, and don't take on other people's workplace battles just because you consider them friends.

不要拉幫結派。你可能對某些同事有好感，但要保持工作界限。不要散佈流言蜚語，不要因爲你和某人是朋友就參與到他們的辦公室爭鬥之中。

Many 20-somethings don't know what they want to do, so they hang around the house or in low-level jobs waiting for the spirit to move them. Not making a choice is a choice. These 20-somethings think they are keeping their options open, but they are actually closing doors. Resumes start look thin, their peers begin surpassing them and they may get stuck in underemployment.

很多20幾歲的年輕人不知道自己想要什麼，就宅在家裏，或做一些沒有技術含量的工作，等到哪天興致來了再去找更好的出路。不選擇也是一種選擇。這些20幾歲的年輕人覺得自己向機會敞開了大門，實際上他們是在把前路堵上。他們的簡歷會看上去很單薄，被同齡人趕超，還會受限於沒有充分的工作經驗。

To sum up, often the hardest thing about combining work with study is making the decision to do it in the first place. Once you get started you will probably find that it’s not as difficult as you’d imagined. Studying doesn’t have to take over your life: just a few hours each week can make all the difference.

總的來說，在職學習最困難的部分往往在於一開始做出這個決定。一旦你開始學習也許就會發現，並沒有自己想象的那麼困難。沒有必要讓學習佔據你全部的生活：每週哪怕只學習幾個小時也會有很大不同。

Always have your destination in mind; keep dreaming your big dreams. Once you cease dreaming, soon you will also lose your energy and be back to mediocrity.

始終銘記你的夢想，做你的夢，不要停。一旦你停止夢想，你就會失去繼續前行的力量，又變回一個平庸的人。

When we fail, we might be tempted to think that we have wasted our time and thus regret it. But that’s should not be the case. The fact that you have done something is much better than doing nothing. Rise up and move on. The regret lies not in doing, but in not doing.

當我們遭遇失敗的時候，我們可能會後悔自己浪費了那麼多的時間去做一件失敗的事情。但事實並不是這樣的，去做永遠比不做好。失敗了，就再站起來，繼續前行。我們不應該後悔去做了什麼事，而是要後悔沒去做什麼事。

As I grow older, I pay less attention to what men say. I just watch what they do. ——Andrew Carnegie, Founder of Carnegie Steel Company

隨着我漸漸變老，我越來越少在意人們在說些什麼。我只觀察他們做什麼。——安德魯-卡內基，卡內基鋼鐵公司，被譽爲“鋼鐵大王”。

When you live for others’ opinions, you are dead.

如果你爲別人的看法而活，那你已經死了。

Failure is inevitable if we are to succeed in life. Unfortunately, many people do not know how to overcome failure, and they are stopped by it when they encounter one. The ability to overcome failure is one big difference between successful and mediocre people.

如果我們想要在生活中獲得成功，失敗就是不可避免的。然而，我們很多人在遇到失敗的時候，都不知道如何去戰勝它，只好停滯不前。成功人士和平庸的人的區別就在於他們戰勝失敗的能力。
