53. Everything is Possible
53. 一切皆有可能
There are two final qualities of distinguished leadership that I want to share with you today. These may be the most important qualities of all and how lucky we are that both are a fundamental part of our Chinese culture---something we all learn from our parents virtually from the day we are born.
我今天和你们分享的最后两点优秀领导力的特质可能是所有特质中最重要的，而我们如此幸运，因为这两点都是我们中华民族文化的根基，是我们几乎从出生那天起就开始向父母学习的。
First is Perseverance. I'm talking about simple hard work and a commitment to stay the course even when times are tough. In today's fast-pace business environment, unexpected challenges come at you from all directions, with no end in sight. Sometimes I read articles about myself and my career path and it makes it sound so easy. But believe me, it hasn't been easy for a single day. I work far harder now than I ever have in my life. I've had to embrace constant change, and every time I think I've finally mastered the situation a new challenge comes along I hadn't anticipated.
第一是坚持。我所谈的是最基本的努力工作和面临困境时也能如此的信念。在如今快节奏的商业环境下，意料之外的挑战来自四面八方，看不到尽头。有时候我读一些关于我和我的职业生涯的文章，看上去好像一切都很容易。但相信我，没有一天是容易的。我现在妥比以往任何时候都还要努力工作。我必须接纳不断的变化，而且每次我认为终于掌握局面的时候一项新的没有预计到的挑战就会冒出来。
There will be many days when the challenges each of you confront will seem. We all have those days; they go with the territory when you are trying to achieve something great.
很多时候你们会感觉自己所面对的挑战令人无法招架。我们每个人都会经历这样的阶段。当你设法快要取得一些成就的时候，这些挑战就会随之而来。
Perseverance and hard work will see you through the tough times. My parents instilled these qualities in me and it has made all the difference. Sometimes I watch young Americans quit when things are difficult, and I always advice them try again... and again... and again. Never give up until you achieve your goal. That's what distinguishes those who make it to the top from those who don't.
坚持和勤奋会帮助你度过困境。我的父母给我灌输了这些特质，的确很有意义。有时候我看到年轻的美国人在遇到困难时就放弃了，我总是建议他们一次又一次地尝试。没有达到目标绝不要放弃。这就是为什么有人能够到达顶峰，而有人却没有。
