Study hard and you will go far.

努力学习，你会走得更远。

Talent alone is not enough! It is known that people with less talent work harder, and lots of talented people think that their talent will do all the job. Well guess what, it won't, because not working on your talent and not perfecting it is not respecting it (by receiving a talent you also receive responsibility). Hard workers are the successful ones, and if they are also talented they are destined to do great things.

单有才华也是不够的。众所周知，比较没天赋的人工作得更努力，很多有才的人认为他们的才华可以胜任所有的工作。你猜怎么着？答案是不可以，因为不利用不完善就是不尊重自己的才华（有才华也意味着有责任）。努力工作的人是成功的人，如果他们刚好也是有才华的人，他们势必能做伟大的事情。

Don't be too harsh on yourself or too self-critical, if you really feel you can't do something at this moment - take a break, make yourself comfortable, even spoil yourself a little.

不要对自己太苛刻或者太过自我批判了，如果你真觉得自己现在没办法做成某事——休息一下，让你自己觉得舒服，甚至可以稍微放纵一下自己。
