Number 9 - Risk Being Turned Down for A Job. You can't always be the candidate with the best skills for an available position. There is a lot of highly qualified competition out there. And even if you are the best candidate for the job, you still might not get it. Such is life.

第九，承擔求職失敗的風險。你不可能總是那個最優(yōu)秀的求職者，資歷很深的人還有很多。就算你是最優(yōu)秀的，你還是可能得不到這份工作。這就是生活。

But, if you don't make the attempt and risk getting turned down, how do you ever expect to get your dream job? Most often, persistence pays off. People who show how much they really want the position and seem to be a good fit for the team often impress hirers. Experience isn't everything. Think about it this way. If you risk not getting the job, you might actually get it!

但是，如果你不去承擔求職失敗的風險，你怎么可能得到理想的工作?大多數(shù)情況下，堅持是會得到回報的。那些能讓老板知道自己多么渴望得到這份工作、并且和團隊合得來的人，總能得到老板的青睞。經(jīng)驗不是最重要的。你可以這樣想，如果你愿意承擔求職失敗的風險，你就有可能求職成功!

Number 10 - Risk Exposure and Being Judged. No one truly likes to be criticized or negatively judged. Yet, all of us criticize others, and all of us are constantly being judged. People observe actions, things and other people, and they form an opinion. It's part of our human nature. Of course, some criticism can be useful. But the opinions of most people, however, is of no value, so just don't let it bother you.

第十，承擔被他人評判的風險。沒有人喜歡被批評，沒有人喜歡被他認消極地評價。然而，我們所有人都會批評他人，與此同時，他人也在評判我們。人們會觀察他人的行為，然后形成自己的觀點，這是人性的一部分。當然，有些批評可能是有用的，但是大多數(shù)人的意見是沒有價值的，所以你不用為此煩惱。

Number 11 - Risk Putting It All on The Line. There may come a time when you have to risk everything in order to achieve success, and it can be very scary! If you are going to really roll the dice at some point in your life, it's best do it when you are relatively young and have time to bounce back. The greatest successes often demand the greatest risks. But make sure the risk is calculated. Know precisely what you are putting at risk and what the reward will be.

第十一，承擔孤注一擲的風險。你可能會遇到為了成功只能孤注一擲的情況，這是很嚇人的!如果你真的要冒這個險，那么最好在你年輕的時候做這件事，因為你還有重頭再來的機會。最大的成功，往往來源于最高的風險。但是，要衡量好這個風險。你要明確地知道自己投入了多少，回報可能有多少。

Number 12 - Risk Admitting That You Don't Know. If you don't know something, you should not feel embarrassed. If that knowledge is important to you, learn it! In most cases, it won't take much time at all. Discovering that there is something useful you don't yet know, is a valuable opportunity to learn something new. Most knowledge is actually quite easy to acquire, but only if you ask questions and are willing to risk admitting what you don't know.

第十二，冒險承認自己對某些事不了解。如果你不了解某件事，你不應該感到尷尬。如果這很重要，那就去學!多數(shù)情況下，你要花的時間并不多。發(fā)現(xiàn)有一些很有用且你還未了解的事，這是一個很寶貴的學習新事物的機會。多數(shù)知識是很容易獲取的，但前提是你愿意問問題，愿意承認自己對此了解不多。

Number 13 - Taking Full Responsibility for Your Happiness. Our happiness is a direct result of the decisions we make and the things we do. Don't rely on others to make you happy. You will often be disappointed. Realize instead that your past and present conduct is your responsibility. That might sound harsh, but taking responsibility for your future actions should actually feel empowering. Your future happiness is in your hands! Yes, the words and actions of others can affect you. But the best way of getting control over your situation is to rely on your own judgement. So, stop blaming others, and stop waiting around for them. It won't get you anywhere. Don't surrender your power. Take responsibility!

第十三，為自己的幸福負責。我們的幸福來源于我們做的決定和事情。不要依賴別人來讓你幸福，不然你會經(jīng)常感到很失望。反之，你要意識到，你過去和現(xiàn)在所做的事情，都是要由自己負責的。這聽起來可能挺殘酷的，但是，能夠為自己的未來負責，這能讓你感到你把握住了自己的命運。你的幸福取決于你自己!沒錯，其他人的言論，其他人的行為，都可能影響你。但是，如果想控制局面，最好的方式就是根據(jù)自己的判斷來做事。所以，不要埋怨別人，不要為他們作無用的等待，這對你沒什么好處。不要放棄自己的力量，要為自己負責!

Number 14 - Letting Go and Starting Anew. At times, we try to hold onto something we no longer have or things we can't control. We look back on past relationships or lost opportunities and constantly kick ourselves for our mistakes. The past is done. Yes, you can learn valuable lessons from it, but obsessing over it will just hold you back. So let it go. Accept the end of something in order to begin building something new. Essentially, you can look at life like a game. You have very little influence on its rules.

第十四，學會放手，重頭再來。有時候，我們放不下一些早就不屬于我們的、或者我們無法控制的事情。我們回想以往的感情，回想曾經(jīng)失去的機會，不斷埋怨自己所犯的錯誤。過去已經(jīng)過去。沒錯，你可以從中學到寶貴的教訓，但是如果你一直沉浸在過去中，這只會拖累你。所以，放手吧。接受事情的結(jié)果，才能有新的開始。從根本上說，你可以把生活看作一場游戲，你無法決定規(guī)則。

Successful and happy people, however, take advantage of the rules, and they're even willing to bend them. They take risks. Ultimately, risk is an essential part of life. You take the chance of getting hit by a careless driver every time you walk down the street. When you decide to take your own risks, however, you are exercising control and power over your own life. Yes, it could go wrong, and failure can be very painful. But not taking a risk often turns out to be a huge mistake. Everyone can look back on their lives and regret the risks they did not take. After all, taking risks offers the greatest rewards in life!

然而，那些成功的人，那些幸福的人，他們會充分利用規(guī)則，他們甚至愿意改變規(guī)則。他們愿意冒險。歸根結(jié)底，風險是生活中很重要的一部分。每次你上街，都是在冒險，因為你可能被某個粗心的司機撞到。然而，當你決定要自己去冒險的時候，你是在掌握自己的生活。確實，有可能你得不到好結(jié)果，失敗是很痛苦的。但是，不去冒險，終歸是一個巨大的錯誤。每個人，在回顧過往的時候，都會后悔自己當初沒有冒險做某事。畢竟，在我們的人生中，冒險能夠帶來最大的回報。
