6. Disconnection
孤立
The old sayings "no man is an island" and "there's strength in numbers" may sound corny, but that doesn't make them any less true. Even with self-discipline, in the long run, you'll need contact with kindred spirits and mentors. Meeting regularly can be a great boost to your morale and provide new perspectives on your approach. The Internet makes it extraordinarily easy to find a coach, mentor, or mastermind group that can provide the emotional support, experience, and wisdom to help turn your vision into reality.
“没有人是与世隔绝的孤岛”和“人多力量大” 这两句俗语可能听起来毫无新意,但这丝毫不能影响到它的正确性。从长远来看,即使有了自律,你还需要和亲近的精神领袖和导师进行交流。常常和他们见面可以大大提升你的斗志,并为你的处理方法提供新的视角。互联网使得我们非常容易就找到教练、导师或智囊团,为我们提供情感支持、经验和智慧,帮助我们把梦想变成现实。
7. Dishonesty
不诚实
As you begin to be successful, you'll be tempted to lie, exaggerate, and deceive in order to move your agenda forward. However, taking the easy way of dishonesty has a tendency to sneak back up on you. In the end, it causes far more problems than taking the risk of telling the truth. True success comes when you are a person of your word, when you have a pure conscience, and when you have not cheated others on your way to the top.
当你开始向成功努力时,为了不落下进度,你就会撒谎、夸大或是欺骗。然而,这种不诚实往往也会让自己尝到恶果。到最后,比起冒险说出实情,它会引起更多的问题。在通往成功的路上,当你言行一致,当你有一颗纯洁的心灵,当你不去欺骗他人,真正的成功就来了。
8. Ingratitude
忘恩负义
The final pitfall is by far the most dangerous, because it's so easy to miss. When your vision becomes a reality, you arestill a failure if you cannot remember your humble beginnings or recognize the contributions of those who helped you along the way. Remember: There is no such thing as a self-made billionaire. If you can't experience gratitude, you might as well have stayed exactly where you started.
最后一道陷阱是最危险的,因为我们很容易错过它。当你的远景成为现实以后,如果你忘了刚开始时的谦卑态度,或是不予肯定一路来帮助你的人所做出的贡献,你仍然是一个失败者。记住:天下没有人靠自己就能成为百万富翁的。如果你没有一颗感恩的心,也许你还是待在你最初起步的地方好了。
