3. Complacency
自满
Without passion, even the most compelling vision will wither on the vine. Without passion, your energy and enthusiasm will flag when you encounter inevitable obstacles. Make your passion into an almost physical characteristic of your personality, an inexorable force that keeps you engaged every moment of every workday, bringing you one step closer to the measure of success that you desire.
没有激情,即使是最激动人心的愿景也将无果而终。没有激情,当你遇到不可避免的阻碍时,你的能量和热情也将烟消云散。让你的激情成为你个性中的一部分,让你的激情成为一股不可抵挡的力量,带着它去迎接每一天每一刻,让你向着渴望的成功更近一步。
4. Distraction
分心
The modern world clamors for your attention in ever-louder ways, a deluge that can distract you from your course. It takes self-discipline to persevere amidst the noise and haste, to assert your willpower over casual desires and instincts. Channel your emotions, behavior, and desires toward obtaining the reward of success. Remember: Living a life of self-discipline is less painful in the long run than regretting "what might have been."
在现代社会里,各种喧闹扰乱着你的心绪,像洪水般冲荡着自己的进程。在嘈杂和匆忙中,你要坚持就需要自律,用你的意志力战胜随意的欲望和本能。调节你的情绪、行为和欲望以求获得成功的奖赏。记住:从长远来看,自律的生活,会比起生活在“也许会有另一番人生”的悔恨中要少一些苦痛。
5. Doubt
怀疑
Once you've made a decision, doubt is a worm that eats away at your ability to succeed. Life and work can be hard and even cruel. Remember, the race is not for the swift but rather those who persevere. Rather than allowing doubt to seep in and poison your process, you owe it to yourself to remain confident in your vision and your plan. Adapt as needed along the way,but always know that success will ultimately be yours.
一旦你做了决定,怀疑就像一种蠕虫病毒,它会侵蚀你实现成功的能力。生活和工作可能会艰辛,甚至是残酷。记住,这场比赛比的不是快,比的是谁更能坚持。不要让怀疑渗入和毒害你,你要对你的愿景和计划保持信心,这是由你决定的。在前进的路上根据需要进行调整,坚信成功最终是属于你的。
