施瓦辛格短片演講

 

 

Now today, I'm gonna give you the six rules of success. But before I start, I just wanted to say these are my rules. I think that they can apply to anyone, but that is for you to decide, because not everyone is the same. There are some people that just like to kick back and coast through life and others want to be very intense and want to be number one and want to be successful.

今天我跟你們分享一下成功的6個要訣。但是開始之前我得先說好，這是個人經(jīng)驗，雖然我感覺你們都能用得上，但還是要看你們自己，畢竟每人都不盡相同。有人想平平淡淡安度一生，也有人想激烈一些，想爭第一，想成功。

I always wanted to be very intense, I always wanted to be number one. I took it very seriously, my career. So this was the same when I started with bodybuilding. I didn't want to just be a bodybuilding champion, I wanted to be the best bodybuilder of all times.

我自己總是想讓生活更刺激一些，我想爭第一。我對自己的事業(yè)看得很重，當(dāng)我開始投身健美事業(yè)的時候也是一樣的。我不僅想做健美冠軍，我還想成為整個健美史上的第一人。

The first rule is: Trust yourself

第一個要訣：相信自己。

 

 

And what I mean by that is, so many young people are getting so much advice from their parents and from their teachers and from everyone. But what is most important is that you have to dig deep down, dig deep down and ask yourselves, who do you want to be? Not what, but who.

這個意思其實就是：現(xiàn)在的年輕人獲取信息的渠道太多了，會有來自各方的各種建議。但是最關(guān)鍵的點在于深挖內(nèi)心，問自己：你想成為誰？不是你想成為什么，而是誰。

 

 

And I'm talking about not what your parents and teachers want you to be, but you. I'm talking about figuring out for yourselves what makes you happy, no matter how crazy it may sound to the people.

我說的不是你父母老師對你的期待，而是你自己的欲望，你想成為誰。你要搞清楚，什么能讓你快樂，無論在旁人看來有多扯，只要你認(rèn)定了，就去做。

 

 

So rule no.1 is of course: Trust yourself no matter how or what anyone else thinks.

所以第一個要訣就是無論旁人怎么想，你都要相信自己。

 

 

And of course rule number two is: Break the rules

第二個要訣：不要循規(guī)蹈矩。

 

 

We have so many rules in life about everything. I say break the rules. Not the law, but break the rules. It is impossible to be a maverick or a true original if you're too well behaved and don't want to break the rules. You have to think outside the box. That's what I believe. After all, what is the point of being on this earth if all you want to do is be liked by everyone and avoid trouble?

我們生活中有種種限制。要我說，人要敢于打破常規(guī)。不是讓你違法，而是不要總是循規(guī)蹈矩。老好人永遠(yuǎn)也不可能成為意見領(lǐng)袖或者創(chuàng)作者。你必須要能特立獨行的思考，打破常規(guī)。畢竟，總是討好別人，總是怕麻煩，活著能有什么意思。

Which of course brings me rule number three: Don't be afraid to fail.

第三條：別怕失敗。

Anything I've ever attempted, I was always willing to fail.

So you can't always win, but don't be afraid of making decisions.

You can't be paralyzed by fear of failure or you will never push yourself. You keep pushing because you believe in yourself and in your vision and you know that it is the right thing to do, and success will come. So don't be afraid to fail.

我的每一次嘗試我都愿意面對失敗。

你不可能一直贏的，所以也別怕做出什么愚蠢的決定。

如果你要是一直怕失敗，怕輸，那你還怎么突破自己？你得一直往前沖，推著自己往前沖，你必須要相信你自己的視野，相信你的判斷，成功總會有的。所以，別怕失敗。

Rule number four: Don't listen to the naysayers.

第四條：不要相信“打擊者”。

 

 

How many times have you heard that you can't do this and you can't do that and it's never been done before?

If I would have listened to the naysayers I would still be in the Austrian Alps yodeling.

So I never listen that, "You can't." I always listen to myself and say, "Yes, you can."

你聽到過多少回別人說“你不行”“這事沒人行”?

假如我當(dāng)時聽信了這些話，我這會還在奧地利唱花腔了。

所以我從來不信“你不行”我從來都是對自己說“你一定行”

And that brings me to rule number five, which is the most important rule of all: Work your butt off. You never want to fail because you didn't work hard enough. I never wanted to lose a competition or lose an election because I didn't work hard enough. I always believed leaving no stone unturned.

這就引出了我們的第五條，也是最重要的一條：撅起屁股就是干。你絕對不想因為沒有拼盡全力而失敗后悔吧。我反正從不想因為沒有盡力而輸?shù)羧魏我粓霰荣惢蛘哌x舉。我一直堅信：拼盡全力不留一絲遺憾。

Mohammed Ali, one of my great heroes, had a great line in the '70s when he was asked, "How many sit-ups do you do?" He said, "I don't count my sit-ups. I only start counting when it starts hurting. When I feel pain, that's when I start counting, because that's when it really counts."

穆罕默德·阿里，我最崇拜的人之一曾經(jīng)在70年代說過一句很著名的話。當(dāng)我們問他：你一般做多少仰臥起坐？他答道：我一般不去數(shù)多少個除非我的核心肌群開始酸痛，這時候我會去數(shù)。因為這時候你做的仰臥起坐才真正開始起效。

That's what makes you a champion. That's the way it is with everything. No pain, no gain. And let me tell you, it is important to have fun in life, of course. But when you're out there partying, horsing around, someone out there at the same time is working hard. Someone is getting smarter and someone is winning. Just remember, you can't climb the ladder of success with your hands in your pockets.

這才是冠軍精神。這也是對待所有的事應(yīng)當(dāng)有的態(tài)度。沒有汗水就沒有收獲。我承認(rèn)，找找樂子對于生活也是很必要的，但你在嗨的時候，在鬧的時候，記住，有人在付出，在努力，

有人在增長智慧，有人在取得勝利。記住，伸出雙手才能牢牢抓住勝利。

And that takes me to rule number six, which is a very important rule: it's about giving back. Whatever path that you take in your lives, you must always find time to give something back. Something back to your community. Give something back to your state or to your country.

這引出了我們的第六點，也非常重要：回饋。無論你怎樣選擇你的生活，你都要適時的給予，適時的回饋社會，回饋國家。
