英文原文

No one at your university has ever achieved extraordinary grades that didn't have huge obstacles they had to overcome. Obstacles that every student has. Obstacles that you're experiencing right now, trying to stop you from fulfilling your potential. 

在你的大学里，没有一个取得优异成绩的人没有经历过必须克服的巨大障碍。这些障碍每个学生都会遇到。你现在正在经历的这些障碍，正试图阻止你发挥潜力。

At first, it's the motivation and discipline that keeps you going. But the motivation and discipline can only help you short term. It's the passion you have within you that keeps you going. Not just the passion for studying and learning new things, but the passion for improving yourself, the passion for striving to become a better person each day. It's the passion to building a growth mindset that will help you become phenomenal in the long term. 

起初，是动机和自律让你坚持下去。但动机和自律只能短期帮助你。让你坚持下去的是你内心的激情。不仅仅是对学习和学习新事物的激情，更是对自我提升、每天努力成为更好自己的激情。这是建立成长心态的激情，它将帮助你在长期内变得出类拔萃。

And if you know anyone with a growth mindset, if you know anyone around you that is focused on pursuing their dreams, that is dedicated to becoming the best version of themselves every day, you'll probably notice they seem a lot happier. They have an optimism about them that other people just don't have. And it's something that's so difficult to explain, but when you get there, you know exactly what I mean.

如果你认识拥有成长心态的人，如果你认识身边那些专注于追求梦想、每天致力于成为最好自己的人，你可能会注意到他们看起来更加快乐。他们身上有一种其他人所没有的乐观。这很难解释，但当你达到那种境界时，你就会明白我的意思。
