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。

I had a friend who worked at a hospice, and he said people in their final moments don't discuss their successes, awards or what books they wrote or what they accomplished. They only talk about their loves and their regrets, and I think that's very telling.

我有个朋友在一家临终关怀医院工作,他说人们在生命的最后时刻不会谈论他们的成功、奖项、写过什么书或取得了什么成就。他们只谈论他们的爱和遗憾,我认为这很能说明问题。

If you know what you want to do, as I always loved musicals, and then to have been lucky enough to be successful with them, I think that's all you can ask isn't it? I think I don't really think too much about it. I am a bit shy socially, yeah, I admit that.

如果你知道自己想做什么,就像我一直喜欢音乐剧一样,然后又有幸能成功地演绎这些音乐剧,我想这就是你能问的全部了,不是吗?我想我并没有想太多。我在社交上有点害羞,是的,我承认。

I have never been able to decide whether, in mountain exploration, it is the prospect of tackling an unsolved problem, or the performance of the task itself, or the retrospective enjoyment of successful effort, which affords the greatest amount of pleasure.

在山区探险中,我一直无法决定是解决一个尚未解决的问题的前景,还是任务本身的执行,还是对成功努力的回顾享受,才给我带来最大的乐趣。

If, however, the success of a politician is to be measured by the degree in which he is able personally to influence the course of politics, and attach to himself a school of political thought, then Mr. Mill, in the best meaning of the words, has succeeded.

然而,如果要衡量一个政治家的成功,要看他个人能够在多大程度上影响政治进程,并依附于自己的政治思想流派,那么,用最恰当的话说,密尔先生已经成功了。

Even the people who have had success and made money writing these books of fiction seem to feel the need to pretend it's no big deal, or part of a natural progression from poetry to fiction, but often it's really just about the money, the perceived prestige.

即使是那些成功地写了这些小说并赚了钱的人,似乎也觉得有必要假装这没什么大不了的,或者说是从诗歌到小说的自然发展的一部分,但通常情况下,真正重要的只是钱,以及所感知到的声望。

The battle of life is, in most cases, fought uphill; and to win it without a struggle were perhaps to win it without honor. If there were no difficulties there would be no success; if there were nothing to struggle for, there would be nothing to be achieved.

在大多数情况下,生命之战是一场艰苦卓绝的战斗;而不经过斗争而赢得它,也许就是不带荣誉地赢得它。没有困难就没有成功;如果没有奋斗的目标,就不会有任何成就。

Do business managers have a commitment to anything more than the success of their company and to making money? It would be hard to say that they do. Indeed, many business leaders deny that there is any conflict between self-interest and the interests of all.

除了公司的成功和赚钱之外,企业经理还有什么别的使命吗?很难说他们会这么做。事实上,许多商界领袖都否认自身利益与所有人的利益之间存在任何冲突。

We had a very good meet. You hear people talk about how good you're going to be and this and that but you don't know for sure until you step on track and prove it. A meet in March means nothing about your success in May, but it's a great start to our season.

我们有一个很好的见面。你听到人们谈论你将来会有多好,诸如此类,但在你走上正轨并证明之前,你并不确定。三月的一场比赛对你五月的成功毫无意义,但是这是我们赛季的一个伟大的开始。

Production was what I always wanted to do, even when I was skating. I'm a bit of a sponge. When I was going around competing I was always asking, 'What does that light do?' If you want to be successful, you have to understand what people are doing around you.

生产是我一直想做的,即使当我滑冰的时候。我有点像海绵。当我四处比赛时,我总是问,‘那盏灯是做什么的?如果你想成功,你必须了解你周围的人在做什么。

When everything happens to you when you're so young, you're very lucky, but by the same token, you're never going to have that same feeling again. The first time anything happens to you - your first love, your first success - the second one is never the same.

当一切都发生在你年轻的时候,你很幸运,但同样的道理,你再也不会有同样的感觉了。任何事情发生在你身上的第一次——你的初恋,你的第一次成功——第二次是不一样的。

KEEP EXPLORING

沿着这个主题,再读几句。

My priority is to turn people - especially kids - on to sports and being active so they don't even have to think about it being good for their health. If people participate for the fun of it, and believe me - it is fun, then fitness programs will be much more successful.

我的首要任务是让人们——尤其是孩子们——参与体育运动,保持活跃,这样他们就不用担心运动对他们的健康有好处。如果人们参与健身是为了乐趣,相信我——这很有趣,那么健身项目将会更成功。

A LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT
