you've always done, you'll always get what you always got.” (Paul
Watzlawick)
“如果你每天都在重复过去做过事情，那么你将只会获得已经拥有的东西。”
（保罗·瓦兹拉威克）
3.
It's not all about having a
vision of what you want from life. You must be prepared to do

determine your future. Only your present has the power to carry
you.

7.
Ask yourself often: "What
is the most constructive use of my time and effort
now?"
经常问问自己：“现在我的时间和精力应该最具建设性的用在哪方面？”
8.
Make your passion your
employment, or expand on what you are the most passionate about in
your work. You'll be much more motivated, you will get more results
and you will never seem like it’s “work”!
开发你的激情，寻找工作中使你最具热情的部分。你会更有动力，你会收获更多结果，你不会把它只看成是在“工作”！
9.
From the moment you decide
to seize your goals, you deem yourself to succeed. If you do
nothing, you are condemned to fail.
从你下决心实现目标那一刻起，你就注定会成功；如果你什么也不做，你注定要失败。
10.
What would you do if you
could not fail? Just answering this question shows you the extent
of what could you do just if you overcome the fear of
failure.

11.
The most successful people
are those who fail the most, because they are those who try the
most!
最成功的人往往也是失败次数最多的人，因为他们是那些尝试次数最多的人！

Failure is the fuel of
success, because it shows you where to go and how to make something
of your life (instead of spending your free time watching
television, for example).
失败是成功的助推剂，因为它告诉你去哪里以及如何取得成功（不如说，而不是把空闲时间都花在看电视上）。
13.
You really fail when you
stop trying to achieve a goal. You can change your ways to do this
because as long as you persevere, you keep moving towards
success.
当你停止为实现一个目标而努力时，你就真的失败了。可以改变实现目标的方式，因为只要你坚持，你就在不断向成功靠近。
14.
Replace the word failure
with "learning" or "opportunity".
把你字典中的‘失败’替换为‘学习’或‘机会’。
15.
The fact that you give
yourself goals feeds you want to achieve! The more you realize your
goals, the more you find that you can achieve other great things.
Your dreams are just goals with timelines.
为自己设定目标，这样你才会想要达成这些目标！你实现的目标越多，你就越会发现，你可以达成其他了不起的事情。梦想只是一串标有时间线的目标。
16.
Self-realization is a
source of confidence, motivation and well-being in everyday life.
In fact, self-realization is the only drug that is good for
health!

Often, we do not realize
things because we devote major importance to activities that play a
minor role in our lives.

18.
What we are today depends
on the choices we made yesterday. What we will be tomorrow depends
on the choices we make today.
你的今天取决于你昨天作出的选择。你的明天将取决于你今天所做的选择。
19.
There are two types of
torment related to our personal fulfillment: The torment associated
with discipline and the torment arising from our regrets for having
lived an unsatisfactory life. The trick is in knowing which of
these torments you’d rather choose.
有两种跟自我实现相关的折磨：与纪律相关的折磨和由于生活不理想而产生的折磨。诀窍在于你知道你更愿意承受哪种类型的折磨。
20.
You can come from a poor
family, you may lack confidence and self esteem, but this should
not stop you from succeeding. From the moment you give the right to
dream and believe in yourself, you stop limiting yourself and give
yourself the power to do what you want.
你可能出身贫寒，你可能缺乏自信自尊，但这不应该成为阻止你成功的绊脚石。从你开始梦想的那一刻起，相信自己，不要局限自己，给做你想做的事。
