英語美文朗讀 第388期 Control your own life

It's very simple. The attitude you have when facing struggles and obstacles is what determines whether you will be successful. If you're going to commit the next two three four years of your life to your education, then your attitude is everything. Being able to keep studying despite the adversity thrown at you. You fail an exam? Keep studying. You argue with your friends? Keep studying. You have money problems? Keep studying.

 

道理很簡單。你在面對困難時(shí)的態(tài)度，決定了你是否能成功。如果你在接下來的幾年內(nèi)都要上學(xué)，那么你的態(tài)度決定了一切。就算遇到挫折，也要堅(jiān)持學(xué)習(xí)?？荚嚊]通過？繼續(xù)學(xué)習(xí)。和朋友吵架了？繼續(xù)學(xué)習(xí)。經(jīng)濟(jì)上有困難？繼續(xù)學(xué)習(xí)。

 

You keep on marching on through the struggle, the chaos, the frustration, the procrastination, the disappointment, the anger, the regret. When all that is there, but you keep studying through it all, you know you have the discipline to be a successful person.

你要保持前進(jìn)，經(jīng)歷掙扎，混亂，挫折，拖延，失望，憤怒，悔恨。所有情緒都夾雜在一起，但是你仍能堅(jiān)持學(xué)習(xí)，那么你就會明白，你有足夠的自律，這將使你成功。

 

It's the ability to know that even though at the time you feel overwhelmed and overpowered, you know deep down that it too shall pass. You will find a way. You will keep studying to chase your goal, to make you proud, to make your family proud, through thick and thin.

這是一種能力，就算你感覺自己要垮掉了，它也能讓你相信，一切終將過去，你會找到出路，你會保持學(xué)習(xí)，追求自己的目標(biāo)，不論經(jīng)歷多少艱辛，也要讓自己感到自豪，讓家人感到驕傲。

 

You will continue studying. It is something that is ingrained into every successful person, the ability to push through difficult times, not because you were lucky with it, not because they inherited it, but because they developed it. They did it once. They did it again. They did it again. And each time after that gets easier and easier. The more you overcome your struggles today, the easier you'll overcome your struggles tomorrow. And once you build up that momentum of improving your productivity, it becomes a whole lot easier.

你會保持學(xué)習(xí)。這是一種成功人士都擁有的品質(zhì)，一種度過難關(guān)的能力。這不是因?yàn)樾疫\(yùn)，不是因?yàn)槌晒θ耸刻焐陀羞@種能力，而是因?yàn)樗麄冊谧约荷砩吓囵B(yǎng)了這種能力。他們度過難關(guān)，一次，又一次。每一次，事情都變得越來越簡單。今天你越努力克服困難，明天你就越容易克服困難。一旦你培養(yǎng)了提升自己的動力，一切都會變得更簡單。

 

And it's funny how it works. The more you study, the more you understand the subjects and topics, and the more you prepare for your exams, the easier your exams will be, the easier university will be, the easier it will be to get a good internship, or graduate job after graduating. It's really very simple. the more you study, the easier your life will be. Keep studying. Do not ever give up. Respect the struggle of your journey, because it's the struggle that will build you to be stronger. But be persistent, keep working on.

這個(gè)道理還挺有趣的。你學(xué)習(xí)得越多，你對科目的了解就越多，你對考試的準(zhǔn)備就越充分，考試對于你來說就越簡單，上大學(xué)這件事就越來越輕松，得到好的實(shí)習(xí)和工作機(jī)會的可能性就更大。這個(gè)道理非常簡單，你學(xué)得越多，你的人生就會越順利。保持學(xué)習(xí)吧，永不言棄。重視你遇到的困難，因?yàn)樗屇阕兊酶鼜?qiáng)大。但是也要保持執(zhí)著，保持努力。

 

It's going to be a struggle. It's going to be hard. But that is an incredible thing, because you are going to figure it out. You will pull through. You have enough time. you have enough resources. You have enough commitment. You will find a way to smash your exams. Believe in yourself. You will figure things out. When tomorrow comes, you might not know what steps to take, but believe in yourself. Steer your own ship. It's your life. Take control.

這個(gè)過程將會很痛苦，很困難，但是這將變成一個(gè)奇跡，因?yàn)槟阕罱K會處理好眼前的難題，渡過難關(guān)。你有足夠的時(shí)間，足夠的資源，足夠的投入。你會找到辦法，通過考試。相信自己，你會處理好一切。對于未來，也許你不知道要怎樣走下去，但是你要相信自己，走好你自己的路。這是你的人生，你的人生你做主。
