一篇关于英特尔总经理的专访，有些观点值得学习，可以加深我们对成功的理解。
人生有很多转折，不是个人能完全规划，但人生路上你可以掌握 3个C，此外，我们所处的时代，变化太大，所以在社会上不要仅做一行，而要跨行！ 跨行指的是除了读本科的书之外，还要接触其它的知识。
人生中有很多转折，不是个人所能够完全规划或掌握的，但人生路上你可以掌握 3个C。人生 3C就是Competence 、Communication 和 Cooperation。
Competence = 专业能力
首先，你要有competence( 能力)，能力是你的本事和专业，要事先发掘你自己的专长 。电机系毕业生，不代表你就是电机专才 ，以前我在新闻社有个朋友，他是学土木的，现在却投身于出版业。所以，并不是你读什么，未来的职业就是什么。在我的人生路上，曾经遇见许许多多好导师，适时给我一些建议及想法，使得我的思维能及时转变，朝向对的方向发展。我的第一个工作，是在声宝企业做音响设计，但随即发觉我的个性，不太适合在实验室里做研究，因此转至震旦行做Sales，卖复印机。卖着卖着，逐渐发觉我的人生，开始对的方向走，后又至汽车音响公司做业务行销，继而走人外商公司－－台湾通用器材，担任东南亚区销售总监，当时我才28岁。
人格特质决定人生方向
犹记第一次出国到达欧洲比利时，人地生疏、加以当时我的英文相当不流利，但是在当地硬是住了三个月， 不断磨练英文，从一九七八年来，到现在已届 20年了，老外看到我，总会以为我是从美国哪所学校毕业的，我常笑着回答：「我在台湾完成大学学业。」 找到兴趣后，确定全力以赴的方向，再慢慢来培养专长 。兴趣之中其实蕴含很强烈的人格特质，我个人以为， 人格特质决定人生努力主要道路。 有的人适合在实验室里做研究，我并不适合，但是，我没有放弃专长，担任总经理一职已有12个年头了，凭借着的就是我的专长(Competence)。 学校教授的东西，通常只是一块叩门砖，真正的学习一定要靠自己。 我出门时，背包里装的一定都是书籍，家里也都是各类的书，一有时间就看，不断地跟新知识，跟的快我就赢过别人 ，跟的慢我就可能输了。
Communication = 有效沟通
第二，要有沟通的能力（ Communication）。如何作有效沟通，来表达你的理想与见解，这是一个大学问， 黑幼龙就掌握到这个市场。举个例子，我手底下大概有 40﹪人才，拥有博硕士学位，他们因着个人不同的经验，与我对话时，会mapping 自己的经验世界，用以了解我在讲什么；然而，他所接收到与我所指的方向，通常会有出入，这就要仰仗沟通能力。譬如说交谈时，我不只要确定你有没有完全了解，或者同不同意我的看法，这就是一个沟通的技巧 。在社会上成功与否，沟通是一种很重要的能力。
Cooperation = 统御融合
第三，是合作(Cooperation) 。如果只是一个人在某个角落埋头苦干，你的价值只有一个人；倘若你学会沟通，学会合作 ，那你就有机会成为统御一方的经理级人物。 当一个领导人，要有开阔的心。每个人要求与成就都不一样，想的更是不一样，你如何将这些个体的差异性融合起来(Cooperation)，成就一股宏大的力量，如此才能成就 leadership。
所以说，在学校中要尽量参加社团，社团中有各院系的人，思想逻辑各擅胜场，他们不同的思考模式，往往会增加你对待事物的深度与广度。 过去，在主持「成大新闻」时，我们的使命感很强，这是人文面的；而在办「成功思潮」时，则是哲学逻辑面的。以前我在学校读心理学、社会学，该读的我都读了，再透过与许多人的接触，逐渐养成融合众家人才智能结晶的能力，欲在日后进入社会历练时很受用。不要将自己禁锢在一个领域，多去尝试接触不同科系的人，彼此交错影响之下，常常会造就出一个个伟大的灵魂来。
人文素养 ＆ 生命深度
当一个人没有人文思考、人文素养的时候，他就只是一个机器人，欠缺生活品质的富裕度与丰富性 (richness )。物质上的富有，远不如心灵上的富有来得重要 ；我经常随身带着背包，在行道树间感受各地的人文面向。从事高科技的人看起来好象很忙碌，但我们的忙碌是有节奏性的，所以我不会觉得厌烦，我们晓得自己为何而忙。这一路走来这幺长远， 支撑我们的是生命的力量，是生命的丰富性，是人文的深度。我的生命之旅中，有几句鼓励自己的话：
第一， 学习是一种态度，我对自己的投资亳不吝啬，特别是在买书方面。
第二， 我会给自己规划许多时间读书，为了要求读书的效率，我选择付上代价，找间安静恬适的茶艺馆，给自己很好的最佳时间（quality time）去读书。读书是一种读者与作者间的对话， 重点不在读，而是在思考到底手上这本书，对你而言，代表什么意义，你要去思考，懂得反馈 (feedback )。读书重质不重量，我宁可一天只读半本书或一本书，然后好好告诉自己，读完这本书，我的生命、行为思考模式，会有多大的改变，进而增强自己生命的力量。我在高中、大学时代就经常买书，旧书摊我也常去。 现在我都上网订明天要出版的书，走在时代的最前端，不断跟着时代的脚步。一个人懂得去学习，懂得自己到底要什么，是很重要的 。
成功因子 ＝ 3C ＋ Feedback
成功人士的要件，取决于人格特质及专长，而不是派系，那是过去的年代独有的文化。现在要成功的因子也就是我之前谈到的3C (Competence、 Communication、 Cooperation)。这个社会瞬息万变，你不能说看谁当总经理你就往那靠，也许今天他红，明天换你红，或者我离开公司，可能老板变伙计，也说不一定。我常跟我的秘书说，不要特别去靠近谁，因为 你在公司的价值是你的value ，是你的专业。所以不要去拉关系，早一代的企业是靠关系，其实，日本那些最强调关系的企业，现在都瓦解了，比如说国际牌，上一代创办人关系都很好，下一代都没有了，声宝也是一样， 下一代着重的是能力。而且这个世界变化太快了，不会因为说我们关系良好，所以我什么事都找你，不会的。因为我要决定我们公司的命运，成功与否，是在于我的决策，我不会只找我的朋友，这是错误的，而是 去找最适当的人来合作，这样才有办法成功，否则都是拖累。要知道自己要是什么，或者说，对于自己在人生中的不同成长阶段缺乏什么，你要很清楚。你不能什么都要，你做不到的 。今天你问我，我的缺点是什么，我一清二楚。我将自己的缺点清楚写下，贴在我桌子前面，我怎么去改善，我很清楚。自己要有一个feedback( 回馈)系统，如果没有这个系统，那你跟普通人没有两样， 在外面车水马龙，若想要出类拔萃的话，你必须要知道自己的缺点在哪里 ，之后针对这些部分去改善。
最重要的事情最先处理
曾经在书上看到这样一句话－－ Fist things first，最重要的事情最先处理。我们人经常会逃避困难，总是将最困难的事情拖到最后才做，如果你有这种习惯的话，你的人生会过得很痛苦，假设说这个项目（project）期限是一个月的话，你大概一个月都没好日子过。但如果在第一天就把最困难的事情完成，那剩下二十九天就很快乐（enjoy），这就是我对付我自己的方法。当一个人慢慢越来越成熟的时候，做事情的模式就会固定。譬如说我昨天去看牙医，去医院之前我还特别再刷一次牙，但医生却告诉我没刷干净。 我一直用我自己的方法在刷牙，但从他的专业角度来看，我没有刷好。 所以，我们人在成长过程中，已经习惯一个工作模式、方法与过程（process）。但是，你不见得知道这个方法是对或错，这时你须要一个反馈系统（feedback system），由外人来feedback 给你，或者你自己来做feedback ，假使你知道自己在逃避，在 犯错误（do something wrong），你就要去思考。我常说， 读书不是最重要，最重要的是思考，因为在思考的过程中，你会对自己有commitment( 承诺) ，来采取行动改变你的行为。读书最重要的是将书本里的东西吸收变成你的。

| Tucked away in our subconsciousness is an idyllic vision. We see ourselves on a long trip that spans the continent. We are travelling by train. Out the windows, we drink in the passing scene of cars on nearby highways, of children waving on a crossing, of cattle grazing on a distant hillside, of smoke pouring from a power plant, of row upon row of corn and wheat, of flatlands and valleys, of mountains and rolling hillsides, of city skylines and village halls. But the uppermost in our minds is the final destination. On a certain day at a certain hour, we will pull into the station. Bands will be playing and flags waving. Once we reach there, so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our lives will be fit together like a completed jigsaw puzzle. How restlessly we pace the aisles, damning the minutes loitering, waiting, waiting, waiting for the station. "When we reach the station, that will be it", we cry. "When I'm 18", "When I buy a new 450SL Mercedes Benz", "When I put my last kid through collage", "When I have paid off the mortgage", "When I get a promotion", "When I reach the age of the retirement, I shall live happily ever after." Sooner or later, we must realize that there is no station, no one place to arrive at once and for all. The true joy of life is the trip. The station is only a dream. It constantly outdistances us. "Relish the moment" is a good motto, especially when coupled withe the Psalm 118:24:"This is the day which the Lord hath made, we will rejoice and be glad in it." It isn't the burdens of today that drive men mad. It is the regrets over yesterday and the fear of tommorrow. Reget and fear are twin thieves who rob us of today. So stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles. Instead, climb more mountains, eat more icecreams, go barefoot more often, swim more rivers, watch more sunsets, laugh more and cry less. Life must be lived as we go along. Then the station will come soon enough. | 我们的潜意识里藏着一派田园诗般的风光!我们仿佛身处一次横贯大陆的漫漫旅程之中!乘着火车,我们领略着窗外流动的景色：附近高速公路上奔驰的汽车、十字路口处招手的孩童、远山上吃草的牛群、源源不断地从电厂排放出的烟尘、一片片的玉米和小麦、平原与山谷、群山与绵延的丘陵、天空映衬下城市的轮廓,以及乡间的庄园宅第! 然而我们心里想得最多的却是最终的目的地!在某一天的某一时刻,我们将会抵达进站!迎接我们的将是乐队和飘舞的彩旗!一旦到了那儿,多少美梦将成为现实,我们的生活也将变得完整,如同一块理好了的拼图!可是我们现在在过道里不耐烦地踱来踱去,咒骂火车的拖拖拉拉!我们期待着,期待着,期待着火车进站的那一刻! "当我们到站的时候,一切就都好了!"我们呼喊着!"当我18岁的时候!""当我有了一辆新450SL奔驰的时候!""当我供最小的孩子念完大学的时候!""当我偿清贷款的时候!""当我官升高任的时候!""当我到了退休的时候,就可以从此过上幸福的生活啦!" 可是我们终究会认识到人生的旅途中并没有车站,也没有能够"一到永逸"的地方!生活的真正乐趣在于旅行的过程,而车站不过是个梦,它始终遥遥领先于我们! 真正令人发疯的不是今日的负担,而是对昨日的悔恨及对明日的恐惧!悔恨与恐惧是一对孪生窃贼,将今天从你我身边偷走! 那么就不要在过道里徘徊吧,别老惦记着你离车站还有多远!何不换一种活法,将更多的高山攀爬,多吃点儿冰淇淋甜甜嘴巴,经常光着脚板儿溜达,在更多的河流里畅游,多看看夕阳西下,多点欢笑哈哈,少让泪水滴答!生活得一边过一边瞧!车站就会很快到达! |

Think a minute 想一分钟警句
People would usually accept your own estimate of yourself? In other words, they will give you the same worth you give yourself. So don’t sell yourself short!
人们常常接受您对自己的估价。换言之，人们认可你的价值是你自己所定的标价。所以，不要把自己看低了。
If you want others to believe in you, you have to believe in yourself first. No one can make you feel inferior unless you let him.
如果您要别人相信您，您首先必须相信您自己。没有人能使您自卑，除非您自己愿意自卑。
Passion is believing and loving something no matter how hard it is to get there. It’s like a powerful river that will make its way through no matter what.
激情是热爱，坚信无论多难，你都能做成此事。这就如同强劲的河流奔腾不息，势不可挡。
Your real enemy is in your own mind. You see nothing can defeat or ruin your life more than your own wrong thinking about yourself.
你真正的敌人是你自己的心灵。没有什么东西比你对自己的错误认识更能击败和中伤你了。
When we compete only to win and beat the other person, it not only makes us bad losers, but also bad winners. That kind of competing only produces people with a bad heart and character, full of selfish, greed, pride, and jealousy.
当我们仅仅为了获胜而打击对手时，我们不但成为糟糕的失败者，还沦为可鄙的得胜者。这样的竞争会使人的心灵和个性发生扭曲，使其充满着自私贪婪、骄傲和嫉妒。
Successful people look at life through a telescope and see how great it can be, but small, jealous people look at life through a microscope and only see the faults and mistakes of others. Being envious and jealous of others is just a slow method of suicide that’ll kill both your health and happiness.
成功的人通过望远镜看人生，看到人生可以达到多么伟大境界，而卑微和心胸狭隘的人却用显微镜看人生，盯住别人的过失和错误不放。羡慕和嫉恨别人是一种慢性****，它会扼杀了你的健康和幸福。
We may all live under the same sky, but we don’t all have the same horizon. Expanding your horizons means choosing to see the bigger picture and opportunities for success all around you.
我们同在蓝天下，但却有着不同的地平线。开拓你的地平线，这就意味着你能抓住更好的成功机会，看到更壮观的美景。
It is our pride that’s causes most of the problems in our life, our relationships in our family and with others. Our pride is the main reason we get hurt and angry!
正是我们的骄傲造成了生活中的许多问题，不管是在我们的家庭关系中，还是在与他人相处上，我们的傲慢已成了伤害自己和迁怒他人的原因。
You and I can never succeed in life without discipline and hard work. Cause it takes work and sweat to succeed in your job and career, in school, in sport, in your marriage and family.
不通过磨练和努力，你我都不会在生活中获得成功。因为在你的工作和职业生涯中，在学校、在体育活动中，在你的婚姻和家庭中，需要汗水才能培育成功。
Successful people do sweat the small stuff; they work hard at the details. That’s what makes them successful. But many times we just can’t be bothered to do our very best work.
成功的人一丝不苟，努力尽善尽美，这就是他们成功的诀窍。但是很多时候我们懒得把自己的工作做到最好。
Who uses 50% of their ability really stand out from the rest. And the very few who actually give their full 100% of strength and smarts to their work become the most successful.
谁在工作中使用他们能力的50%，就能够出类拔萃。极少数那些将自己的力量和智慧百分之百地投入工作的人，就成了最成功的人。
We have to work hard and do what it takes to be in the way of luck and success when it comes. Otherwise, we’ll miss it because we weren’t ready.
我们必须努力工作，尽力走在运气和成功降临的路上，否则就会因为我们没有准备好而错失良机。
Nothing can bring success like persistence. Talent cannot, for there are many talented people who are not successful. Education will not, for the world is full of educated losers. Only persistence and determination can give you the power to succeed.
没有什么比坚持不懈更能通向成功之路。才干不能，许多有才干的人并没有成功；教育不能，这世界塞满了受过教育的失败者；惟有坚持不懈和决心能给你成功的力量。
We often think of great artists and musicians as being brilliant geniuses who just naturally and easily perform, without effort or practice. But the truth is most of them simply kept working hard every day until they finally produced their masterpieces.
我们常常以为，那些伟大的艺术家和音乐家是光辉灿烂的天才，他们天生就才华横溢，做事易如反掌。但实际上，他们中间大多数人就是靠日复一日的艰苦工作，直到最终产生了他们的大师之作。
If you want the rainbow, you’ve got to put up with the rain. You see it takes courage and strength to keep going toward your goal each time you fail. Failing should make us better not bitter.
不经风雨，怎见彩虹。要知道，每次失败时，你都需要继续朝着目标前进的勇气和耐力。失败应该使我们有所长进，而不是变得沮丧。
If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. Success is no accident! It doesn’t just magically happen. You have to plan for it to happen. So why not start living your life on purpose? First dream it and then do it.
如果你不能做计划，那你就在计划失败。成功不是偶然的，不会神奇地出现。为获成功，你必须做计划。你为何现在不就过上有目标的生活呢？先梦想它，然后实现它。
We have to learn to be comfortable with uncomfortable challenges, because we can’t discover new oceans unless we’ve got the courage to lose sight of the shore. We’ve got to believe that the best jobs haven’t been found yet.
我们必须学习对不舒服的挑战感到舒服，因为除非我们有勇气看不见现有的海岸线，否则我们就不可能发现新的海洋。我们必须相信，最好的工作还没有被做出。
The prize goes to the person who sees the future the quickest. And the best way to predict the future is to invent it. After all, if you don’t know where you’re going, how will you know when you get there? Dreams are what get you started, but discipline is what keeps you going all the way.
荣耀应属于那些最先看到未来的人。然而，预见未来的最好方法就是创造未来。总而言之，如果你不知道将去何处，怎么能知道何时到达呢？ 梦想使你起跑，而自强不息却可使你跑完全程。
It’s important that we keep the main thing the main thing. And if you want to be successful in your job, business, or managing your family, or your studies, whatever we do, we must get the main thing done. Instead of wasting our time and energy doing things that aren’t that important.
把重点当作重点是非常重要的。如果你想在自己的工作和生意上获得成功，或管理好你的家庭、你的学业或其他的事情，我们必须抓住重点，不要在不太重要的事情上花费过多的时间和精力。
If you expect the best from people, they’ll usually want to give you their best. Treat a person just how he appears to be on the outside, and you’ll make him even worse. But treat a person like he’s already a success, and you’ll help make him the best he can be.
如果你希望看到人们最好的一面，人们就常常把最好的一面做给你看。以人的外表对待一个人，只能使他更加糟糕。但是，如果把他看成是一位成功者，这将使他竭尽全力，做得最好。
If we want a good life, we need to be a good student of life, and realize we can learn something from everybody. In fact, it’s when we stop learning that we stop living.
如果我们要过好日子，我们就必须成为生活的好学生，认识到人人身上都有可学之处。事实上，当我们停止学习时，我们就停止了生活。
Bad habits are like a comfortable bed: they’re easy to get into, but hard to get out of. First we make our habits and then our habits make us. In fact, we’re the only creatures who have the freedom and power to change and choose the kind of person we want to become.
坏习惯如同一张舒服的床，躺上去容易，想离开时很难。我们先养成了自己的习惯，然后，这习惯又塑造了我们。事实上，我们是惟一能选择自己成为什么样人的动物，我们拥有达此目标的自由意志和力量。
It’s easer for people to make excuses so we don’t have to change. Even if changing means we will succeed and live our dream, most people still choose not to change. If you want to reach your potential and live successfully, you have to change.
人们找借口更容易，这样我们就不需要去改变了。即使变化意味着人们将获得成功和实现自己的梦想，许多人仍然会选择不改变。如果你要充分发挥自己的潜能，享受成功的生活，你就必须改变自己。
How many times did you really wanted something and didn’t get it, but instead you ended up getting something even better? So you were very happy and thankful you didn’t get what you first thought you wanted.
你是不是许多次很想得到什么，却没能得到，最终得到的反而比当初想要的更好？结果，你为自己没有能得到开始想要的东西而高兴异常，更加感激。
Many people believe in luck and superstitions. That kind of luck is not real and only happens by coincidence. But real luck brings opportunities for success and satisfaction that lasts. And the only way to be this lucky is to build your own good character and attitude every day.
许多人相信运气和迷信。这种运气是不存在的，只是碰巧发生了而已。但是，真正的运气才会带来成功的机会和持久的满足。要得到这样的运气，惟一的方法就是日复一日地培养你自己良好的个性和人生的态度。
The secret of lucky people is that they learn to control their feelings of being too shy and afraid or too angry. Controlling our negative emotions will give us much more self-confidence, and make us more positive and peaceful with other people.
幸运者的秘密是他们学习控制自己的情绪，如过于羞涩、恐惧或愤怒。控制我们的负面情绪将给我们更多的自信，使我们与他人的交往更积极和更平和。
Each day is made to have its own special experiences and memories of fun, love, or even lessons to learn. So grab and squeeze every bit of life you can out of today, cause this day will never come back! Do your best this moment, and you will be at best place for your next moment and opportunity.
每一天都有它特殊的体验，既有趣又充满着爱，还有人生的功课要学。所以，你要紧紧抓住人生今天的点点滴滴，因为这一天永远不会再来了。尽力做好眼前的事，这使你在未来的时刻和机遇中占尽先机。
It’s a choice decides so much about our life. The attitude we choose to have everyday is what makes the difference between our being happy and successful or not. Your attitude everyday makes all the difference in the world to your life. So no matter how bad things get, you still can choose.
我们的选择很大程度上决定了我们所要过的日子。我们所选择的生活态度划分着自己每一天是幸福还是痛苦。你每天的生活态度使你的生活方式不同。所以，无论情景如何的不好，你仍然可以选择。
Plant your thought and you’ll reap your action. Plant your action and you’ll reap your habit. Plant your habit and you’ll reap your life. Our bad habits pull us down like gravity. So breaking and changing those bad habits is not always easy.
种下你的思想，你将收获你的行动；种下你的行动，你将收获你的习惯；种下你的习惯，你将收获你的生活。我们的坏习惯就像地球引力一样牵扯着我们。所以，要打破和改变这些坏习惯并非易事。
We are what we think we are. If you don't think you'll be successful, you won't. You can't be it if you can't see it. Your life is limited to your vision. If you want to change your life, you must change your vision of your life.
我们是自己认识的自己。如果你不认为自己会成功，那你就不会成功。你看不到，也就做不到。你的视野限制了你的人生。如果你想改变你的生活，你就必须改变你对生活的看法。
Fear and worry is kind of like a rocking chair: it keeps you going, but you don't get anywhere! And if you can't help worrying, remember worrying can't help you either. Fear will often find proof for itself. If you're fearful, you'll find something to be fearful about.
担忧和恐惧就像一把摇椅：它让你摆动，但却去不了任何地方。如果你止不住地忧虑，你就这样想，再担忧也没有用。恐惧本身就是恐惧的证据。如果你感到害怕，你就能找到害怕的理由。
So choose your friends carefully. Cause they will either make you or break you! Make sure your good friends are good people-who make you a better person. Friends are not just a way to get what we need.they ARE what we need!
选择朋友要小心。因为，成也朋友，败也朋友。要确定你的好朋友是好人，是那种使你变得更好的人。朋友不仅是满足我们需要的东西，他们本身就是我们的需要。
Be yourself. Be an original! You really are one-of-a-kind. You're the first and last person who will ever be exactly like you. You're born an original, don't die a copy!
做你自己，做一名原汁原味的人。你是独一无二的人。在这世上，和你一模一样的人只有你，你是第一个，也是最后一个你自己。你是一个天生的原创者，就不要像一份复制品那样死去！
People would usually accept your own estimate of yourself? In other words, they will give you the same worth you give yourself. So don’t sell yourself short!
人们常常接受您对自己的估价。换言之，人们认可你的价值是你自己所定的标价。所以，不要把自己看低了。
If you want others to believe in you, you have to believe in yourself first. No one can make you feel inferior unless you let him.
如果您要别人相信您，您首先必须相信您自己。没有人能使您自卑，除非您自己愿意自卑。
Passion is believing and loving something no matter how hard it is to get there. It’s like a powerful river that will make its way through no matter what.
激情是热爱，坚信无论多难，你都能做成此事。这就如同强劲的河流奔腾不息，势不可挡。
Your real enemy is in your own mind. You see nothing can defeat or ruin your life more than your own wrong thinking about yourself.

Being envious and jealous of others is just a slow method of suicide that’ll kill both your health and happiness.

如果我们要过好日子，我们就必须成为生活的好学生，认识到人人身上都有可学之处。事实上，当我们停止学习时，我们就停止了生活。
Bad habits are like a comfortable bed: they’re easy to get into, but hard to get out of. First we make our habits and then our habits make us. In fact, we’re the only creatures who have the freedom and power to change and choose the kind of person we want to become.
坏习惯如同一张舒服的床，躺上去容易，想离开时很难。我们先养成了自己的习惯，然后，这习惯又塑造了我们。事实上，我们是惟一能选择自己成为什么样人的动物，我们拥有达此目标的自由意志和力量。
It’s easer for people to make excuses so we don’t have to change. Even if changing means we will succeed and live our dream, most people still choose not to change. If you want to reach your potential and live successfully, you have to change.
人们找借口更容易，这样我们就不需要去改变了。即使变化意味着人们将获得成功和实现自己的梦想，许多人仍然会选择不改变。如果你要充分发挥自己的潜能，享受成功的生活，你就必须改变自己。
How many times did you really wanted something and didn’t get it, but instead you ended up getting something even better? So you were very happy and thankful you didn’t get what you first thought you wanted.
你是不是许多次很想得到什么，却没能得到，最终得到的反而比当初想要的更好？结果，你为自己没有能得到开始想要的东西而高兴异常，更加感激。
Many people believe in luck and superstitions. That kind of luck is not real and only happens by coincidence. But real luck brings opportunities for success and satisfaction that lasts. And the only way to be this lucky is to build your own good character and attitude every day.
许多人相信运气和迷信。这种运气是不存在的，只是碰巧发生了而已。但是，真正的运气才会带来成功的机会和持久的满足。要得到这样的运气，惟一的方法就是日复一日地培养你自己良好的个性和人生的态度。
The secret of lucky people is that they learn to control their feelings of being too shy and afraid or too angry. Controlling our negative emotions will give us much more self-confidence, and make us more positive and peaceful with other people.
幸运者的秘密是他们学习控制自己的情绪，如过于羞涩、恐惧或愤怒。控制我们的负面情绪将给我们更多的自信，使我们与他人的交往更积极和更平和。
Each day is made to have its own special experiences and memories of fun, love, or even lessons to learn. So grab and squeeze every bit of life you can out of today, cause this day will never come back! Do your best this moment, and you will be at best place for your next moment and opportunity.
每一天都有它特殊的体验，既有趣又充满着爱，还有人生的功课要学。所以，你要紧紧抓住人生今天的点点滴滴，因为这一天永远不会再来了。尽力做好眼前的事，这使你在未来的时刻和机遇中占尽先机。
It’s a choice decides so much about our life. The attitude we choose to have everyday is what makes the difference between our being happy and successful or not. Your attitude everyday makes all the difference in the world to your life. So no matter how bad things get, you still can choose.
我们的选择很大程度上决定了我们所要过的日子。我们所选择的生活态度划分着自己每一天是幸福还是痛苦。你每天的生活态度使你的生活方式不同。所以，无论情景如何的不好，你仍然可以选择。
Plant your thought and you’ll reap your action. Plant your action and you’ll reap your habit. Plant your habit and you’ll reap your life. Our bad habits pull us down like gravity. So breaking and changing those bad habits is not always easy.
种下你的思想，你将收获你的行动；种下你的行动，你将收获你的习惯；种下你的习惯，你将收获你的生活。我们的坏习惯就像地球引力一样牵扯着我们。所以，要打破和改变这些坏习惯并非易事。
We are what we think we are. If you don't think you'll be successful, you won't. You can't be it if you can't see it. Your life is limited to your vision. If you want to change your life, you must change your vision of your life.
我们是自己认识的自己。如果你不认为自己会成功，那你就不会成功。你看不到，也就做不到。你的视野限制了你的人生。如果你想改变你的生活，你就必须改变你对生活的看法。
Fear and worry is kind of like a rocking chair: it keeps you going, but you don't get anywhere! And if you can't help worrying, remember worrying can't help you either. Fear will often find proof for itself. If you're fearful, you'll find something to be fearful about.
担忧和恐惧就像一把摇椅：它让你摆动，但却去不了任何地方。如果你止不住地忧虑，你就这样想，再担忧也没有用。恐惧本身就是恐惧的证据。如果你感到害怕，你就能找到害怕的理由。
So choose your friends carefully. Cause they will either make you or break you! Make sure your good friends are good people-who make you a better person. Friends are not just a way to get what we need.they ARE what we need!
选择朋友要小心。因为，成也朋友，败也朋友。要确定你的好朋友是好人，是那种使你变得更好的人。朋友不仅是满足我们需要的东西，他们本身就是我们的需要。
Be yourself. Be an original! You really are one-of-a-kind. You're the first and last person who will ever be exactly like you. You're born an original, don't die a copy!
做你自己，做一名原汁原味的人。你是独一无二的人。在这世上，和你一模一样的人只有你，你是第一个，也是最后一个你自己。你是一个天生的原创者，就不要像一份复制品那样死去！
