A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS

自信

Confident

I feel like I've grown up a bit. I'm a bit more confident, and I've been reading more, and I've had a little more time to myself. I went on this writing trip to gather my thoughts about where and who I am in this world, and why we're all here.

我觉得我长大了一点。我变得更自信了,我读了更多的书,我有更多的时间留给自己。我进行这次写作之旅,是为了收集关于我在这个世界上的位置和我是谁,以及为什么我们都在这里的想法。

I guess I didn't feel confident enough to be searching in a big public way. I was very content at the time to toil in obscurity on things that I thought might point me in certain directions or teach me certain things - not knowing what that would be.

我想我没有足够的信心在大庭广众之下进行搜索。那时,我很满足于默默无闻地从事我认为可能为我指明方向或教会我某些东西的工作——不知道那会是什么。

But as an entrepreneur you have to feel like you can jump out of an aeroplane because you're confident that you'll catch a bird flying by. It's an act of stupidity, and most entrepreneurs go splat because the bird doesn't come by, but a few times it does.

但作为一名企业家,你必须感觉自己能从飞机上跳下来,因为你有信心能抓住一只飞过的鸟。这是一种愚蠢的行为,大多数企业家都很生气,因为这只鸟不会飞过来,但也有几次会飞过来。

I think we respect the fact of what it takes to win the World Series. I certainly respect that. I felt like they were a really good team last year, so we respect who we're playing. But I also think that everyone in here feels pretty confident about what we're capable of doing.

我认为我们尊重赢得世界大赛的事实。我当然尊重这一点。我觉得他们去年是一支非常好的球队,所以我们尊重我们的球员。但我也认为这里的每个人都对我们的能力充满信心。

I feel like a hostage to fortune. Not that I am complaining. I wanted to play the role. But in truth I didn't think the show would be such a success. OK, I thought it would fail. Not because it was bad. I was confident it was good, but plenty of good things just sort of wither on the vine.

我觉得自己像是命运的人质。我不是在抱怨。我想扮演这个角色。但事实上,我并不认为这部剧会如此成功。好吧,我以为会失败。不是因为它不好。我很有信心它是好的,但是很多好的东西只是在藤上枯萎了。

It's an exciting time. I'm mostly excited, and a little nervous in a way. I just feel fortunate that I'm in a position where I'm going to have an opportunity to play professional football. You never know where you're going to go until it happens, but I'm confident that I can play at the next level.

这是一个激动人心的时刻。我很兴奋,但也有点紧张。我只是觉得很幸运,我能有机会踢职业足球。你永远不知道你要去哪里,直到它发生,但我有信心,我可以发挥下一个水平。
