1. Look far and wide for opportunity.
到處挖掘機(jī)會(huì)
Ma categorizes those who fail as often being myopic to opportunity. Look across the professional and financial landscape with a broad lens first, considering all possibilities. Then, bend down to dig under every rock and in every nook and cranny for potential opportunities.
馬云認(rèn)為那些失敗的人通常都是因?yàn)闆]有看到機(jī)遇。要用廣闊的視角來看待行業(yè)和金融,考慮一切的可能性。彎下腰從每塊巖石上的每一個(gè)角落、每一條縫隙中尋找潛在的機(jī)會(huì)。
2. Treat every opportunity as an open door.
把每一個(gè)機(jī)會(huì)都看成一扇敞開的大門

機(jī)會(huì)無所謂大小,無所謂卑微與否。有機(jī)會(huì)擺在你面前的時(shí)候就要抓住。用你所有的力量將其抓住,全心全意為此工作。承擔(dān)起一切。如果你想要有一個(gè)很不錯(cuò)的結(jié)果就不要把一切都看得微不足道

4. See beyond your circumstances.
看看你周圍以外的環(huán)境
No matter what your current condition, how or where you grew up, or what education or training you feel you lack, you can be successful in your chosen endeavor. It is spirit, fortitude, and hardiness that matter more than where you start.
不管先進(jìn)情況如何,你在哪里如何長大,或者你感覺自己缺乏哪種教育,你都可以選擇努力獲得成功。精神、毅力比你的起點(diǎn)更重要。

It is your job as a visionary to become single-minded in your ambition. Focus on your goal, work toward it, and never let it go.

要有勇氣
When Ma launched Alibaba Group, a highly successful group of internet businesses, he did so in the face of cautionary feedback from potential backers. There is a time for boldness, and in pursuit of your chosen ambition is that time.

7. Take chances in your youth.
年輕的時(shí)候把握住機(jī)會(huì)
If you are not rich by the time you are 35, says Ma, then you have wasted the opportunities of youth. Capitalize upon these young years, with their energy and imagination, by giving in to your ambition and the pursuit of it.
如果35歲以前你還不富裕,那你就已經(jīng)浪費(fèi)了你年輕時(shí)的機(jī)會(huì)。把握住年輕的這幾年,將精力、想象力用于實(shí)現(xiàn)抱負(fù),追求夢(mèng)想。
