1. Plan for the Long Race
长跑前制定计划

Plan for a long race. Winning is not done in short sprints, but rather long endurance challenges.
制定一个长跑计划。胜利不是一蹴而就的，而是一个长期的耐力挑战。

2. Know the Finish Line
知道终点线在哪里

If the race you are running doesn’t have a finish line you will not know when you are done. Ensure that your goals have deadlines, and thus finish lines (or at least checkpoints along the way.)
如果你在进行的比赛没有终点线，那你就不知道什么时候结束。确信你的目标有最后期限，正如那条终点线（或者至少在路上有关卡）。

3. Always Have a Reserve
做好储备

One of my early mentors said, “a true leader always has a reserve.” When everyone else is exhausted and spent, it is the leader who still has some left in their tank to persevere.
我先前的一个导师说，“一个真正的领导通常都有所储备。” 当其他人筋疲力尽，有所储备的领导才能坚持下来。

4. Train for the Distance
赛跑训练

Make sure you have trained for the distance you are running. Don’t go out to run a half marathon, if you have never completed more than a short jog. By train, I mean practice, learn, and prepare for the project you are undertaking.
确信你已经为了赛跑的长度有所训练。如果你没慢跑过，不要去跑一个半程马拉松。训练，我指的是练习、学习，并为你要经历的事做准备。

5. Never Go Empty
不要走空

I am always amazed by those that run “to empty” and are then stuck on the side of road. Running to empty doesn’t accomplish anything other than setting you back in the big picture.
我通常对那些走空了站在路边的人十分不解。走空只能把你放在背景里，什么也不能帮你完成。

Be Ready to Go the Distance
准备完成这段距离

The race is never short. Those who think that life is a sprint are incorrect. Yes, there are periods of fast change and rapid movement. However, life is a long distance run with many hills, turns, and obstacles.
赛跑从来都不短。认为生活就是短跑是不对的。是的，会有快速变化、运动的时期。然而生活是一次充满山峰、转角和障碍的长跑。

So, don’t misjudge where your finish line is. And always be ready to go the distance.
因此，不要错误判断你的终点线。随时准备好去远方。
