英文原文
I was not the smartest in my class, or the wealthiest, or even the most academic.But my goals were clear. I knew exactly what I wanted to achieve. I was focused in on that 4.0, and nothing could take me away from achieving my goal.
我并不是班上最聰明的,也不是最富有的,甚至不是學術能力最強的。但我的目標很明確。我清楚地知道自己想要達成什么。我專注于那4.0的學分,沒有什么能讓我偏離實現(xiàn)目標的道路。
I knew what I needed to do. I knew what was going to take to graduate in the top 5% of the university.
我知道自己需要做什么。我知道要成為大學前5%的畢業(yè)生需要付出什么。
I knew I needed to study every single night when I got home. And when I started to get tired, that was the time when I needed to carry on, because when I started to get tired, I knew at that point, most of the people in my class were going to give up and watch TV or watch Netflix.
我知道自己每晚回家后都需要學習。當我開始感到疲憊時,那正是我需要堅持下去的時候,因為當我開始感到疲憊時,我知道,那時候班上大多數(shù)人都會放棄,轉(zhuǎn)而去看電視或刷Netflix(視頻平臺)。
But I hadn't come this far just to be average. So I kept pushing and kept studying.I knew that if I missed even one night, it could snowball into two nights, three nights, four nights. Everything I did was to take one step closer to achieving my goals.
但我走到今天這一步,可不是為了做個平庸的人。所以我不斷鞭策自己,持續(xù)學習。我知道,哪怕錯過一個晚上的學習,都可能像滾雪球一樣,變成兩個晚上、三個晚上、四個晚上。我所做的一切,都是為了向?qū)崿F(xiàn)目標更近一步。
I'd wake up at 5 am, go straight to the gym. I'd be at the library by 6:30, before most people were even awake. By the time classes started at 9 am, I'd already been studying for two and a half hours.And once classes had finished at 4 PM, I'd go home, eat and get a few hours more studying in before bed. It was hard work, but I did what it took.
我會在早上5點起床,直接去健身房。我會在6點30分到達圖書館,那時大多數(shù)人甚至都還沒起床。到上午9點開始上課時,我已經(jīng)學習了兩個半小時。下午4點課程結束后,我會回家,吃點東西,然后在睡前再學習幾個小時。這很辛苦,但我做到了該做的一切。
