A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
成功
Success
成功的讨论不只有结果，也包括学习、实践、挫折和判断。把这些表达放回自己的处境中阅读，比把一句话当作万能答案更有帮助。
The ‘men of the hour’, the self-assured who strut among us in the jingling harness of their success and importance, how can you let yourself be irritated by them. Let them enjoy their triumph---on the level to which it belongs.
那些“当红人物”，那些在我们中间昂首阔步、踌躇满志地炫耀自己的成功和重要性的自信人士，你怎么能让自己被他们惹恼呢?让他们享受他们的胜利——在它所属的水平上。
I am still looking for the modern equivalent of those Quakers who ran successful businesses, made money because they offered honest products and treated their people decently... This business creed, sadly, seems long forgotten.

Choose something you like to do. I know it's a cliche, and you've heard it over and over. But the reason is, you're going to have to work long and hard to achieve any success. You better like it or life is going to be terrible.
选择你喜欢做的事情。我知道这是陈词滥调，你已经听了一遍又一遍。但原因是，你必须努力工作很长时间才能取得任何成功。你最好喜欢它，否则生活会很糟糕。
A successful work of art is not one which resolves contradictions in a spurious harmony, but one which expresses the idea of harmony negatively by embodying the contradictions, pure and uncompromised, in its innermost structure.

After all, you're not exactly a nation like all the other nations. You are unique, if only because you are such an ancient people, and because of the way you are spread all over the world and your obvious success in many fields.

我们只想赢。这是底线。我想很多时候人们会满足于一个冠军或者一点点成功，但是我们并没有真正反思我们过去所做的。我们关注现在。
If we get our self-esteem from superficial places, from our popularity, appearance, business success, financial situation, health, any of these, we will be disappointed, because no one can guarantee that we'll have them tomorrow.

但这并不成功，因为泰勒和我，在芦笋谷聚会的时候，不到一年，我们就实现了所有的目标。我的意思是，我们的目标是做我们想做的事情来谋生。这是许多人的目标。

The real secret of success is enthusiasm.
成功的真正秘诀是热情。
