无论什么时候，只要你尝试新事物，走上新征程，跳出舒适区，你就会经历挫折，可以想象一下，它就像一个钟摆形状的曲线。明白吗？你会兴奋无比，你会斗志昂扬，你拥有十足的动力，它让你顺利度过最初的几天，一周，或者三周，具体时长因人而异。
But the point is, is that when you get excited about something, we have a natural energy that pushes us through. But what happens when that energy fades? What happens when you start to get frustrated? What happens when you start to feel like a grind, and things get grueling and they get gritty, and they get tough, and it gets harder to move through the process every single day? What happens then?
然而，重点是，你因为某件事情感到兴奋时，你就会有动力，它能让你奋勇向前。可是，如果这个动力变弱了，会怎样？如果你开始感到沮丧，会怎样？如果你开始觉得，自己很受折磨，一切都让你筋疲力尽，事情变得非常棘手，条件异常艰苦，每天都变得越来越难熬，会怎样？那时你该怎么办？
Most people fucking quit. Okay? And here's the fucked-up thing about quitting when things are really fucking hard. Because they're about to get easier. They're about to get more fun. Okay?
大多数人就这样放弃了，明白吗？当事情变得很糟糕的时候，千万不要半途而废，因为转机就要来了，因为这一切将会变得越来越有意思，你明白吗？
Think about it. Think about whenever you tried something new. Maybe you play the guitar and when you first started taking lessons, you're like, fuck yeah, I'm gonna be fucking slash. And then you realize that you're not gonna be slashed for about 20 fucking years if ever, and it gets pretty hard. Okay? And after the first two or three lessons you're like, fuck this this is gonna be really hard. And you start to grind it out and you're like, okay, alright, this is tough but I'm learning a little bit each day.
想想看，当你开始尝试新事物，比如学吉他，当你开始上课时，你会觉得，完了，我肯定学得很烂。然后，你意识到，你可能现在学得不怎么样，但不会一直都这样。事情确实会变得很困难，明白吗？在上了一两节课之后，你就会感觉，这肯定很难学。就这样，你开始了艰苦的学习，然后你会感觉到，还行，挺好的，这确实很难，但我每天都有一点小进步。
And then all of a sudden, things start to click and your body and minds start to work together. And all of a sudden, you're playing what sounds kind of like music. You're playing scales and chords and notes. And then it gets exciting, and then you get it, you know, a natural burst of energy, again, like you had in the beginning. And anything in this way, guys, anything. Whether it be a new business, whether it be a new diet a fitness program, whether it be learning a new skill or a hobby that you don't know, anytime we work into a new area of life by moving out of our comfort zone, it's going to get really fucking hard, really fucking fast.
然后，突然间，事情变得顺利起来，你的身体和心灵变得非常契合。突然间，你弹出来的音乐听起来像那么回事儿了，你弹出了音阶、和弦、音符。你开始感到兴奋，你感受到了一股自然而然的冲劲，就像当初刚开始学吉他的时候一样。任何事情都是这样的，朋友，事事皆如此，无论是新的事业，还是新的饮食，新的运动计划，新的学习方法，新的你所知不多的爱好。无论什么时候，只要你踏出舒适区，涉足新领域，走进新生活，事情都会很困难，很棘手。
You have to understand that that area where it's really fucking hard is where most people quit and the reason this is relevant is because it's the same in entrepreneurship. Okay? In the beginning everybody's excited. In the beginning everybody's going to become a billionaire. In the beginning everybody's gonna conquer the world. But after a few weeks, a few months, maybe even a few years, they start to get tired. They start to get frustrated and they start to ask why is this so hard. They start asking why is this so hard for me. And they think it's just them. And they think the whole fucking universe is coming down on them. And that's when people quit.
你一定要明白，最困难的地方，就是大多数人放弃的地方。这中间有什么关联呢？就是因为，这和创业是同样的道理，明白吗？一开始，每个人都很兴奋，每个人都可能成为百万富翁，每个人都要去征服世界。但是，几个星期过后，几个月过后，几年过后，他们就倦怠了。他们开始感到沮丧，他们不断质问，为什么一切都如此困难？他们开始怀疑，为什么偏偏是我遭遇这样的困难？他们以为受到挫折的只有自己，他们觉得世界都要崩塌了，这种时候他们就放弃了。
And guys we all feel that way. We all have times of frustration. We all have times of anger. We all have times of why me, why is this so hard for me. But at the end of the day, guys, when you start feeling that massive frustration, that massive anger, that massive irritation, and massive stress, you are about to have a breakthrough. You are about to move through an area that most people can't make it through.
朋友们，我们都有那样的感受。我们都曾遭遇挫折，我们都曾满腔愤懑，我们都曾感到困惑。为什么是我？凭什么要让我遭受这样的困难？但是，朋友们，事实上，当你感到十分沮丧，十分愤怒，十分恼火，十分压抑时，这正是你将要取得突破的时候，你即将度过一个大多数人无法度过的难关。
And you've just got to keep moving because when you make it through that area that's when shit gets fun. That's when you say, oh shit man I'm actually doing this. I'm actually an entrepreneur. I'm actually doing okay. The reason that 9 out of 10 businesses fucking fail, guys, isn't because there's something wrong with business. Because there's something wrong with people's minds. They don't have the ability to make it through the first curve of frustration.
你必须坚持前进，因为只要你度过了那个难关，事情就会好转。这时，你就会觉得，哇塞，我真的在做这件事了耶，我可是个创业者，我现在感觉还挺好的。做生意的人，十有八九都失败了，这不是因为做生意这件事本身有什么问题，而是因为人们的思维方式有问题，他们没法熬过第一个绝望的低谷。
And along your career, and along your journey, and becoming great at anything at all, you're gonna have these curves appear over and over and over again. But you have to keep in mind, guys, that just like the old saying goes, things are the hardest right before they get better. Things are the most frustrating right before they get done. Things are the worst right before they get better. And it's hard to remember that when you're going through it. It's hard to remember that when you owe every single creditor, when your wife or husbands yelling at you for spending too much time at work or too much time in the weight room or too much time on this or that or whatever.
在你的事业生涯中，在你的人生旅途中，在你为伟大目标奋斗的过程中，你都会反反复复地遇到这样的低谷。但是，朋友们，你们必须记住，老话说得好，山重水复疑无路，柳暗花明又一村，置之死地才能后生。风水轮流转，在低谷之后就会出现转机。在你备受煎熬的时候，在你身无分文的时候，在你的伴侣对你大喊大叫说你在工作、在健身房之类的浪费太多时间的时候，要你记住前面那些道理确实是很难的。
It's hard to remember that things are going to get better but they are. And this is part of the process, and all of us go through these little curves. We all do it. And guys, it's the ones who understand that things are going to improve and keep focused on the end result that make it through these curves.
要你记住一切都会越来越好，这是很难的，但是，事情确实在变好。这是过程的一部分，我们所有人都会经历这些小小的低谷，所有人都如此。朋友，只有那些相信事情会慢慢变好的人，那些紧紧盯着目标的人，才能熬过这些低谷。
