Have a cause
找到一個理由
zhǎo dào yī gè lǐ yóu
I can't think of a more powerful source of motivation than a cause you care about. Such cause can inspire you to give your best even in the face of difficulties. It can make you do the seemingly impossible things.
“在激勵裡，沒什麼比理由更有力了。這些理由能在困難當前時把你激發起來。它能讓你去做一些看起來不可能的事。”
“zài jī lì lǐ ，méi shí me bǐ lǐ yóu gèng yǒu lì le 。zhè xiē lǐ yóu néng zài kùn nán dāng qián shí bǎ nǐ jī fā qǐ lái 。tā néng ràng nǐ qù zuò yī xiē kàn qǐ lái bú kě néng de shì 。”
While other causes could inspire you temporarily, a cause that matters to you can inspire you indefinitely. It's a spring of motivation that will never dry. Whenever you think that you run out of motivation, you can always come to your cause to get a fresh dose of motivation.
儘管也有其他一些動機理由能臨時刺激你，與你休慼相關的那些目標能無限期地激發你。這是一口永不幹涸的激勵泉水。什麼時候你覺得沒動力了，就去找找自己的目標以獲得動力的泉水。
jìn guǎn yě yǒu qí tā yī xiē dòng jī lǐ yóu néng lín shí cì jī nǐ ，yǔ nǐ xiū qī xiàng guān de nà xiē mù biāo néng wú xiàn qī dì jī fā nǐ 。zhè shì yī kǒu yǒng bú gàn hé de jī lì quán shuǐ 。shí me shí hòu nǐ jiào dé méi dòng lì le ，jiù qù zhǎo zhǎo zì jǐ de mù biāo yǐ huò dé dòng lì de quán shuǐ 。
2. Have a dream. A big dream.
要有一個夢想。還要夠大。
yào yǒu yī gè mèng xiǎng 。hái yào gòu dà 。
Only as high as I reach can I grow, only as far as I seek can I go, only as deep as I look can I see, only as much as I dream can I be.—Karen Ravn
“能摸多高我就長多高，能探多遠我就走多遠，能看多深我就看多深，能做多少夢我就做多少夢。”
“néng mō duō gāo wǒ jiù zhǎng duō gāo ，néng tàn duō yuǎn wǒ jiù zǒu duō yuǎn ，néng kàn duō shēn wǒ jiù kàn duō shēn ，néng zuò duō shǎo mèng wǒ jiù zuò duō shǎo mèng 。”
Your cause is a powerful source of motivation but it's still abstract in nature. You need to make it concrete in the form of a dream. Imagine how the world will be in the future. Imagine how people will live and work.Having a dream is important because it's difficult to be motivated if you don't have anything to shoot for. Just think about people who play basketball. Will they be motivated to play if there is no basket to aim at? I don't think so. They need a goal. You need a goal. That's what your dream is for.
你的目標動力對於激勵來說是個挺有力的來源，但還是太抽象。你得把它具體化成一個夢想。想象一下未來的世界會怎樣。想象一下人們怎麼生活工作。如果你無的放矢，根本沒法激勵自己，所以做做白日夢還是挺重要的。想想打籃球的人。如果根本沒有籃筐去投，誰還有動力啊？我看就沒有了。他們需要目標。你也是。不然你白日夢拿來幹嘛。
nǐ de mù biāo dòng lì duì yú jī lì lái shuō shì gè tǐng yǒu lì de lái yuán ，dàn hái shì tài chōu xiàng 。nǐ dé bǎ tā jù tǐ huà chéng yī gè mèng xiǎng 。xiǎng xiàng yī xià wèi lái de shì jiè huì zěn yàng 。xiǎng xiàng yī xià rén men zěn me shēng huó gōng zuò 。rú guǒ nǐ wú de fàng shǐ ，gēn běn méi fǎ jī lì zì jǐ ，suǒ yǐ zuò zuò bái rì mèng hái shì tǐng zhòng yào de 。xiǎng xiǎng dǎ lán qiú de rén 。rú guǒ gēn běn méi yǒu lán kuāng qù tóu ，shuí hái yǒu dòng lì ā ？wǒ kàn jiù méi yǒu le 。tā men xū yào mù biāo 。nǐ yě shì 。bú rán nǐ bái rì mèng ná lái gàn ma 。
But just having a dream is insufficient. Your dream must be big enough to inspire you. It must be realistic but challenging. It must stretch your ability beyond your comfort zone.
但光有白日夢還不夠。這個夢得足夠高遠，那才能激勵你。它得既現實主義又不是可以一蹴而就的。它還得能迫使你離開安逸的環境去大展身手。
dàn guāng yǒu bái rì mèng hái bú gòu 。zhè gè mèng dé zú gòu gāo yuǎn ，nà cái néng jī lì nǐ 。tā dé jì xiàn shí zhǔ yì yòu bú shì kě yǐ yī cù ér jiù de 。tā hái dé néng pò shǐ nǐ lí kāi ān yì de huán jìng qù dà zhǎn shēn shǒu 。
3. Be hungry
要有飢渴感
yào yǒu jī kě gǎn
Wanting something is not enough. You must hunger for it. Your motivation must be absolutely compelling in order to overcome the obstacles that will invariably come your way.—Les Brown
“‘想要’什麼那還不夠。你一定要對它充滿渴望。你的動力一定要足夠霸道，那才能跨過總是出現在路上的那些障礙。”
“‘xiǎng yào ’shí me nà hái bú gòu 。nǐ yī dìng yào duì tā chōng mǎn kě wàng 。nǐ de dòng lì yī dìng yào zú gòu bà dào ，nà cái néng kuà guò zǒng shì chū xiàn zài lù shàng de nà xiē zhàng ài 。”
To be truly motivated, you need to have hunger and not just desire. Having mere desire won't take you through difficult times since you don't want things badly enough. In many cases, hunger makes the difference between the best performers and the mediocre ones.
要想真正得到激勵，你得不僅僅是“想要”，還要是“渴望要”。僅僅是普通慾望沒法幫你渡過困難，因為你又不是非要不可。很多時候，有沒有飢渴感就是將軍和士兵的差別。
yào xiǎng zhēn zhèng dé dào jī lì ，nǐ dé bú jǐn jǐn shì “xiǎng yào ”，hái yào shì “kě wàng yào ”。jǐn jǐn shì pǔ tōng yù wàng méi fǎ bāng nǐ dù guò kùn nán ，yīn wéi nǐ yòu bú shì fēi yào bú kě 。hěn duō shí hòu ，yǒu méi yǒu jī kě gǎn jiù shì jiāng jun1 hé shì bīng de chà bié 。
How can you have hunger? Your cause and your dream play a big role here. If you have a cause you care about and a big dream related to it, you should have the hunger inside of you. If you think that you are losing hunger, all you need to do is to connect again to your cause and dream. Let them inspire you and bring the hunger back.
怎樣才能有飢渴感？這裡就得看你的動機目標和夢想了。如果你又有關心的目標又有和之相關的白日夢，你就該有一種飢渴感才對。如果你認為自己正在喪失這種飢渴感，你所要做的就是再一次連結起目標和夢想。讓它們繼續激發你並給你帶來飢渴。
zěn yàng cái néng yǒu jī kě gǎn ？zhè lǐ jiù dé kàn nǐ de dòng jī mù biāo hé mèng xiǎng le 。rú guǒ nǐ yòu yǒu guān xīn de mù biāo yòu yǒu hé zhī xiàng guān de bái rì mèng ，nǐ jiù gāi yǒu yī zhǒng jī kě gǎn cái duì 。rú guǒ nǐ rèn wéi zì jǐ zhèng zài sàng shī zhè zhǒng jī kě gǎn ，nǐ suǒ yào zuò de jiù shì zài yī cì lián jié qǐ mù biāo hé mèng xiǎng 。ràng tā men jì xù jī fā nǐ bìng gěi nǐ dài lái jī kě 。
4. Run your own race
別管別人
bié guǎn bié rén
I do not try to dance better than anyone else. I only try to dance better than myself.—Mikhail Baryshnikov
“我又不想比別人跳舞跳得好。我只想著跳得比自己好而已。”
“wǒ yòu bú xiǎng bǐ bié rén tiào wǔ tiào dé hǎo 。wǒ zhī xiǎng zhe tiào dé bǐ zì jǐ hǎo ér yǐ 。”
Comparing yourself with others is an effective way to demotivate yourself. Even if you start with enthusiasm, you will soon lose your energy when you compare yourself with others.
要想灰心喪氣，拿自己跟別人比可謂立竿見影。就算一開始你豪氣沖天，一和別人比，你馬上就繳械投降。
yào xiǎng huī xīn sàng qì ，ná zì jǐ gēn bié rén bǐ kě wèi lì gān jiàn yǐng 。jiù suàn yī kāi shǐ nǐ háo qì chōng tiān ，yī hé bié rén bǐ ，nǐ mǎ shàng jiù jiǎo xiè tóu jiàng 。
Don't let that happen to you. You have your own race so how other people perform is irrelevant. Comparing yourself with others is like comparing the performance of a swimmer with a runner using the same time standard. They are different so how can you compare one with the other?
千萬別這麼做。你跑自己的，管別人呢。拿自己和別人比，就像讓一個游泳的和一個跑步的用同一時間標準鬥快。都不一樣，天曉得你怎麼比較出來？
qiān wàn bié zhè me zuò 。nǐ pǎo zì jǐ de ，guǎn bié rén ne 。ná zì jǐ hé bié rén bǐ ，jiù xiàng ràng yī gè yóu yǒng de hé yī gè pǎo bù de yòng tóng yī shí jiān biāo zhǔn dòu kuài 。dōu bú yī yàng ，tiān xiǎo dé nǐ zěn me bǐ jiào chū lái ？
The only competitor you have is yourself. The only one you need to beat is you. Have you become the best you can be?
自己才是自己的唯一敵人。這也是你唯一要戰勝的對手。你做到最好了嗎？
zì jǐ cái shì zì jǐ de wéi yī dí rén 。zhè yě shì nǐ wéi yī yào zhàn shèng de duì shǒu 。nǐ zuò dào zuì hǎo le ma ？
5. Take one more step
走下去
zǒu xià qù
Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.—Winston Churchill
“成功無止境，失敗還有救；重要的是要有勇氣玩下去。”
“chéng gōng wú zhǐ jìng ，shī bài hái yǒu jiù ；zhòng yào de shì yào yǒu yǒng qì wán xià qù 。”
When you meet obstacles along the way, there could be the tendency to quit. You may think that it's too difficult to move on. You may think that your dream is impossible to achieve. But this is where you can see the difference between winners and losers. Though both of them face the same difficulties, there is one thing that makes the winners different: the courage to continue.
當你半路遇到困難，你可能想過要溜掉。你可能覺得難於上青天。你可能覺得自己白日夢做得太離譜。但就在這裡，成功者和失敗者的不同點就凸顯出來了。儘管他們遇到同樣的麻煩，有一點使成功者與眾不同：玩下去的勇氣。
dāng nǐ bàn lù yù dào kùn nán ，nǐ kě néng xiǎng guò yào liū diào 。nǐ kě néng jiào dé nán yú shàng qīng tiān 。nǐ kě néng jiào dé zì jǐ bái rì mèng zuò dé tài lí pǔ 。dàn jiù zài zhè lǐ ，chéng gōng zhě hé shī bài zhě de bú tóng diǎn jiù tū xiǎn chū lái le 。jìn guǎn tā men yù dào tóng yàng de má fán ，yǒu yī diǎn shǐ chéng gōng zhě yǔ zhòng bú tóng ：wán xià qù de yǒng qì 。
In difficult situations, just focus on taking one more step forward. Don't think about how to complete the race. Don't think about how many more obstacles are waiting for you. Just focus on taking the next step.
困境裡，你應該集中精神向前邁多一步。別想著怎樣才能跑完。別想著前面還有多少障礙。只想著你的下一步。
kùn jìng lǐ ，nǐ yīng gāi jí zhōng jīng shén xiàng qián mài duō yī bù 。bié xiǎng zhe zěn yàng cái néng pǎo wán 。bié xiǎng zhe qián miàn hái yǒu duō shǎo zhàng ài 。zhī xiǎng zhe nǐ de xià yī bù 。
6. Let go of the past
讓往事如煙飄走
ràng wǎng shì rú yān piāo zǒu
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could.—Ralph Waldo Emerson
“搞定每一天，你就能做任何能做的事。”
“gǎo dìng měi yī tiān ，nǐ jiù néng zuò rèn hé néng zuò de shì 。”
Believe it or not, one of the best demotivators is your past. Your past can drag you down before you realize it. Your past can give you a heavy burden on your shoulders.The good news is it's a burden you don't have to carry. Take it off your shoulder and leave it. You might make mistakes in the past. You might disappoint others with what you did. But it's over. It's already in the past and there's nothing you can do about it.
隨你相不相信，你的過去在擾亂軍心上可謂極具殺傷力。你還不知道，就給它扯了後腿。它給你背上了太重的負擔。不過，好消息是這些負擔你根本用不著去背。拿下來扔掉吧。過去你可能犯了錯，可能因為自己的所做所為讓人大失所望。但都過去了，再怎麼樣你都沒法彌補了。
suí nǐ xiàng bú xiàng xìn ，nǐ de guò qù zài rǎo luàn jun1 xīn shàng kě wèi jí jù shā shāng lì 。nǐ hái bú zhī dào ，jiù gěi tā chě le hòu tuǐ 。tā gěi nǐ bèi shàng le tài zhòng de fù dān 。bú guò ，hǎo xiāo xī shì zhè xiē fù dān nǐ gēn běn yòng bú zhe qù bèi 。ná xià lái rēng diào ba 。guò qù nǐ kě néng fàn le cuò ，kě néng yīn wéi zì jǐ de suǒ zuò suǒ wéi ràng rén dà shī suǒ wàng 。dàn dōu guò qù le ，zài zěn me yàng nǐ dōu méi fǎ mí bǔ le 。
Today is a new day and you have the chance to start again. No matter how bad your past might be, you still have a bright future ahead waiting for you. Just don't let the burden of the past stop you.
今天就是一個新的一天，你又有機會重新來過了。不管過去你多麼不走運，你仍然前程似錦。別讓那些過去的負擔束縛了你吖。
jīn tiān jiù shì yī gè xīn de yī tiān ，nǐ yòu yǒu jī huì zhòng xīn lái guò le 。bú guǎn guò qù nǐ duō me bú zǒu yùn ，nǐ réng rán qián chéng sì jǐn 。bié ràng nà xiē guò qù de fù dān shù fù le nǐ ā 。
