这里是Success成功杂志社出版的Jim Rohn作品的一系列翻译专栏。今天我们给大家带来第二篇:你必须热爱机会。(Part 1 第一篇)
"You don't have to love the work you do. If you appreciate the chance to build an amazing life and grow your wealth, you're on the right track." ---Jim Rohn
“你不必爱你所做的工作。(但是)如果你热爱一个能带给你美妙生活并可积累你财富的机会时,你就走在了正确的轨道上。” ---Jim Rohn
You Don’t Have to Love What You Do...
...but you have to love the opportunity.
你不必热爱你正在做的工作...但是你必须热爱机会。
You have to love what you do, that’s what people say. But that's not necessarily true. What is true is that you have to love the opportunity—the opportunity to build life, future, health, success and fortune. Knocking on someone’s door may not be something you love to do, but you love the opportunity of what might be behind it.
你必须热爱你所做的工作,那是人们常说的话。但是那不绝对是真的。真正重要的是你必须热爱机会--构建生活,未来,健康,成功和财富的机会。敲某人的门可能不是你爱做的工作,但是你爱的是敲开某人门背后的机会。
A guy says, "I'm digging ditches. Should I love digging ditches?" The answer? No, you don't have to love digging ditches, but if it is your first entry onto the ladder of success, you should be thinking, I'm glad somebody gave me the opportunity to dig ditches, and I'm going to do it so well, I won't be here long.
一个人说,“我正在挖排水沟。我应该爱挖排水沟吗?”答案?不,你不必爱挖壕沟,但是如果它是你成功阶梯的第一个入口,你应当这样想,我庆幸某人给我机会挖壕沟,我会好好做它,但我不会在这儿待太久的”。
You can be inspired by just having found something, even though you are making mistakes in the beginning and even though it is not ideal, taking on a new discipline that you haven't learned yet. You don't have to love it, you just have to learn to appreciate the opportunity—and the person who believed in you before you believed in yourself, the person who brought you the good news, who found you.
你会为发现一些新事物而倍感鼓舞,尽管在开始的时候,你会犯一些错误,尽管在你接纳一项你还不曾学过的新观念时,有太多的不理想(不满意)。你可以不必去爱它,但你必须学着珍视机会和珍视那个在你相信你自己之前就相信你的人,那个带给你好的信息并发现你的人。
If you will embrace the disciplines associated with the new opportunity, you will soon find that your self-confidence starts to grow, that you go from being a skeptic to being a believer. And, soon, when you start talking to people, you will find it to be the most thrilling opportunity in the world. Every person you meet, what could they be to you? It’s unlimited! Maybe a friend for life, an open door to retiring, a colleague for years to come. This is big, and sometimes, in the beginning when we are just getting started, we don't always see how big it really is.
如果你愿意拥抱新机会带来的新思维,你将发现你的自信心与日俱增,你从一个怀疑论者变成一个相信论者。并且很快,当你开始和人们谈论它时,你发现这真的是世界上最激动人心的机会。你遇到的每个人,他们对于你会意味着什么呢?无限(可能)!也许是你一生的朋友,一扇敞开的退休之门,一位未来数年的同事。这个机会真的很大,(以至于)开始时,我们自己并不知道它真的会有多大。
So before you are tempted to give up or get discouraged, remember that all success is based on long-term commitment, faith, discipline, attitude and a few stepping stones along the way. You might not like the stone you are on right now, but it's sure to be one of the stones that leads to great opportunities in the future.
所以在你企图放弃或泄气之前,记住所有的成功都基于长期的奉献,信念,纪律,态度和路上的一些垫脚石。你可能不喜欢你现在所处的垫脚石,但是其中必有一块垫脚石会给你的未来以巨大的机会。
