雙語勵志美文：相信自己一定行

摘錄：這是一段艱深難學的課程。生活的難題看起來似乎艱鉅而又嚇人，而我們經常認爲自己渺小又脆弱，但事情不是這樣的。那不過是許多人買這種假象的賬，但事實並非如此。

自信是人類擁有的最寶貴的資本之一。擁有信心，一切皆有可能。缺乏信心，即使是最微不足道的挑戰，都會顯得難以逾越、無法克服。相信自己，增強信心，世界將更加寬廣明亮。

The world is changing rapidly and most people are very anxious about it. In fact, I think it might even be stronger and more accurate to say that most people are downright fearful of what they see going on around them.

Technological change and innovation are completely altering many aspects of our lives and it doesn’t stop there. Economic changes, social changes, scientific changes, political changes… the list is endless. However, the big question we all face is how are we going to respond to these changes?

While the specific answers about what to do take time and thought to uncover, the best way to approach the future and all of the changes it will bring can be summed up in one word: Confidence.

Personal confidence is one of the greatest assets we all possess. Certainly some people seem to have much more of it than others but I believe that confidence is a skill that we can all develop. In some ways, it is undoubtedly the most important skill we can develop.

世界在飛速變化，許多人爲此而憂心忡忡。事實上，我認爲可以更有力、更確切地說，大多數人對自己周圍發生的一切完全心存恐懼。

技術科學進步和創新使我們生活的方方面面發生了翻天覆地的變化，而且這種變化不會到此爲止。這種變化同時也滲透到經濟、社會、科技、政治等各個方面。然而，大家面臨的一個大問題就是：我們將如何應對這些變化?

雖然具體的答案需要花時間和心思才能得出，但通向未來的最佳途徑及其將會帶來的一切變化可以歸結爲兩個字：信心。

自信是我們所擁有的最寶貴的資本之一。當然，有些人似乎比別人更爲自信，但我認爲自信是一種人人都可以培養出來的技巧。就某些方面而言，它毋庸置疑是我們可以培養的最重要的技巧。

With confidence, all things are within the realm of possibility. Without confidence, even the smallest challenges seem insurmountable.

What I find fascinating is that people with confidence always seem to end up on top. They seem to overcome the obstacles that stand in their way. It’s as if problems and challenges run from the person who has confidence.

I think what’s so difficult for most people is the belief that confidence has to be based on having a specific solution at hand but that’s just not true.

What we all respect and admire is the person who can stand up against overwhelming difficulties and persevere without an answer.

擁有信心，一切皆有可能。缺乏信心，即使是最微不足道的挑戰，都會顯得難以逾越，無法克服。

我發現令人爲之着迷的是自信之人似乎總是以成功而告終。他們似乎能夠掃除一切“攔路虎”。問題和挑戰彷彿從自信者身上逃之夭夭。

我認爲對大多數人而言，最大的困難在於他們認爲信心必須建立在手頭擁有具體的解決方案的基礎之上，但事實恰恰並非如此。我們都敬佩和仰慕這樣的人，他們能夠悍然面對種種艱鉅的困難，能夠不問結果而堅持不懈。

這就是大多數人無法獲得信心的祕密。生活中的種種挑戰在這些信心十足的人面前不堪一擊，無法抗衡。雖然這些問題或挑戰看起來似乎龐大得無法撼動，但無論環境如何，充滿自信的人總會找到獲勝的辦法。

生活得種種挑戰和難題最終會從一直保持自信的人身邊落荒而逃。

Here’s the secret that most people never get. Life’s challenges are no match for the person with unstoppable confidence. While the problems or challenges might seem too big to be overcome, the person with confidence always finds a way to win regardless of the circumstances.

Ultimately, life’s challenges run and hide from the person that maintains confidence.

This is hard lesson to learn. The problems of life seem so big and scary and we often think of ourselves as so small and fragile. But that’s not the way it is. That’s the illusion that most people by into, but it’s not the truth.

The truth is that we are bigger than anything that can ever happen to us in life. We have the power and ability to overcome any obstacle in our path. And the most important tool we possess is personal confidence, believing in your ability to overcome the current challenge just like we have done so many times in the past.

Whatever challenge is currently in your life, know that it’s there to help you grow and expand. Use the problems you encounter to help you build your personal confidence. Remember, you wouldn’t have the problem if you didn’t have the power to overcome it. Expanding your personal confidence will allow you to take on whatever you need to in order to fulfill your personal mission.

這是一段艱深難學的課程。生活的難題看起來似乎艱鉅而又嚇人，而我們經常認爲自己渺小又脆弱，但事情不是這樣的。那不過是許多人買這種假象的賬，但事實並非如此。

事實上，我們比生活中任何可能發生在我們身上的事情更強大。我們有力量和能力去克服路途上的一切障礙。而我們擁有的最重要的工具是自信心--相信我們可以克服目前的難題，就像我們以前無數次經歷的一樣。

無論目前你生活中的難題是什麼，都要知道自信正助你成長和發展。利用遇到的問題幫助自己建立自信心。記住，如果你不具備解決問題的能力，你是不會遇到難題的。
