    You can pass your exams. You can be great at whatever it is that you choose to be great at.

     

    你有能力通过考试,你有能力做好你选择做的事情。

     

    But you have to put in the work. You have to want it bad. You have to want it so bad that you're willing to lose sleep for it.

    但是,你必须付出努力。你必须对这个事情有足够的渴望。你必须渴望得到它,就算废寝忘食也想得到它。

     

    You have to want it so bad that you're willing to lose friends over it. You have to want it so bad that you never ever give up.

    你必须渴望得到它,就算因此失去朋友也在所不惜。你必须渴望得到它,永远不放弃对它的追求。

     

    As Steve Jobs says I'm here to make a dent in the universe. You will never hear me complain that it's someone else's fault. Why I'm not getting the grades I have the potential of achieving? If I don't like where I am, I'll work harder.

    乔布斯曾经说过,我来到这个世界上,是为了留下我的痕迹。你绝对不会听见我抱怨,说这是别人的错。为什么我拿不到我本能得到的成绩?如果我对现状不满意,我就会加倍努力。

     

    My current situation is a perfect reflection of the hard work or lack of work I put in. When you look at the all-time greats, there's one thing in common among them all. They all have relentless, sickening work ethic.

    我的现状,反映了我是否投入了足够的努力。你看看那些伟人们,他们有一些共同点,那就是,他们都有坚韧的,可怕的工作劲头。

     

    To get to the top, you have to skip watching TV, going to every party, scrolling through social media, and wasting your time on unproductive things. Because while the average student is sleeping, you are hustling.

    为了出人头地,你必须放弃看电视,放弃去排队,放弃刷社交媒体,不要再把时间浪费在无意义的事情上。因为,普通学生正在睡觉的时候,你正在努力。

     

    If you're doing well at school or university, if you're doing more than the group of friends you hang around with, if you're getting better grades than them, if you're doing more to move yourself forward than they are, then it's easy to fool yourself into thinking that you're working to your full potential.

    如果你学业不错,如果你比你身边的朋友付出更多的努力,如果你的成绩比他们更好,如果你为了改善自我而付出更多,那么,你很可能会自欺欺人,以为自己已经尽了全力。

     

    But it depends. It depends where your group of friends have set the bar.

    但是,这也要看情况。这取决于你的朋友们有什么样的追求。

     

    Let me explain. If you run the 100-meter sprint with a group of people that can't run as fast as you, of course you'll win, quite easily. It wouldn't take much effort.

    我解释一下吧。如果你参加一百米短跑,对手本来就跑得比你慢,那么你当然会胜出,这是轻而易举、毫不费力的事情。

     

    But if you run against people that are much faster than you, you might come sixth or seventh place, or even last.

    但是,如果你和那些跑得比你快的人赛跑,你可能会排到第六位,第七位,或者甚至倒数第一。

     

    But it would push you and inspire you to run faster. It would make you push that little bit more.

    然而,这会鞭策你,激励你,让你跑得更快,让你付出更多的努力。

     

    Instead of training three days a week, you might start training five days a week. And it doesn't matter that you came in last place. Your time is faster. And that's why you need to surround yourself with people that are better than you.

    你可能会开始每周训练五天,而不是仅仅训练三天。就算你曾经是倒数第一,那也没关系。你的时间比别人更有限,所以你需要多和那些比你优秀的人相处。

     

    It's these people that will push you up and encourage you and motivate you. There's a quote. You become the average of the five people you spend the most time with. Because their characteristics and habits and ways of doing things will rub off on you.

    这些人,会鞭策你,会鼓励你,会给你动力。有句话说得好,和你相处时间最长的五个人的平均情况,就是你的情况。因为,他们的特点,他们的习惯,他们做事的方式,会对你产生影响。

     

    If your friends are all letting life pass them by, and they don't prioritize their studying, then it's likely that that behavior will rub off on you, too. It's one of the single biggest improvements you can make to your life.

    如果你的朋友们都是无所事事的人,他们不重视学习,那么他们的这种行为也会对你有影响。在这方面做出改变吧,这将会是你对你的人生做出的最大的改变之一。

     

    To evaluate, and if necessary, upgrade, the people you spend the most time with.

    重新审视、并且去改善(如果有必要的话)你的人际圈子。

     

    As Will Smith once said, as a child, my parents always told me you can be whatever you want to be. You could do whatever you want to do. But I didn't totally believe it.

    正如威尔史密斯说过,在我小时候,父母总是告诉我,你能成为自己想成为的人,你能做到你想做的事情,但是我不太相信。

     

    Yet I went out into the world and I carried myself, and I held my head high, and I stood there, and I looked people in their eyes, and I talked to people, as if I was deserving of all the things that this planet has to offer.

    然而,我来到了这个世界上,我不断前进,自信满满。我站得笔直,注视着人们的眼睛,和人们交流,好像我配得上这世间所有的美好一样。
