英文原文

We live in a world that we want to be as comfortable as we can. Our whole life is set up in the path of least resistance. We don't want to suffer. We don't want to feel discomfort. We need to embrace the fact that it's not hard to avoid it. That other people can be casual if they want to, but they will know something about you by the way you come in. 

我们生活在一个想尽可能舒适的世界里。我们的一生都沿着阻力最小的道路前行。我们不想受苦。我们不想感到不适。我们需要接受这样一个事实：避免这些并不难。其他人如果想随意，那可以随意，但他们通过你进来的方式就能了解到你的一些情况。

Most people aren't walking like most people; they are just dragging along. Seeing life, you're either in the way or on the way. You don't want to be casual like that. The people who realize that it's you who are going to determine this, you're going to determine the outcome of your life. You're going to determine whether your life is exciting or whether or not it's boring. You determine that. And those people who know that, they move with a sense of urgency. They move with purpose and direction. They work and they manage their time effectively. You know that whatever you've done, it's only a tip of the iceberg of what's possible for you. And you're excited, trying to find out what else you got in here.

大多数人的行走方式并不像大多数人；他们只是在拖沓前行。面对生活，你要么在前进的路上，要么就挡在别人的路上。你不想像这样随意。那些意识到你要决定这一切的人，你要决定你人生的结果。你要决定你的人生是令人兴奋还是无聊。这由你决定。而那些知道这一点的人，他们会带着紧迫感行动。他们带着目标和方向行动。他们努力工作，有效管理时间。你知道，无论你做了什么，都只是你可能做到的事情的冰山一角。你感到兴奋，试图去发现你还拥有什么。
