為夢想堅持的理由「中英文」
你還記得自己的夢想是什麼嗎?你還在為你的夢想努力奮鬥嗎?生活充滿無奈,但是這些都不是放棄夢想的理由,相反,這裏有許多要為夢想堅持的理由。
1. Failure.
失敗
This word seems counter-intuitive in reasons not to give up your dreams, but failure is more beneficial than you might think. Most people don’t pursue their dreams for fear of failure. Little do they know, this is one of the biggest ways we learn and grow!
把這個詞當做不要放棄夢想的理由似乎有悖直覺,但是失敗比你想象的要有用。大部分人都因為害怕失敗而放棄追求夢想。殊不知,這是我們學習和成長的最好的一個途徑!
Many famous and successful Americans had to fail over and over again to achieve what they hoped to in life. Abraham Lincoln failed at war, as a businessman, as a lawyer and even at politics at first. He pushed on through and became president of the United States. Thomas Edison’s teachers called him “stupid” and he was fired multiple times before “failing” 1000 times attempting to invent the lightbulb. Michael Jordan was once cut from his high school basketball team. He later said,
美國有很多著名的成功人士在追求他們想要的生活時都經歷了一次又一次的失敗。亞伯拉罕·林肯打戰失敗過,做商人時失敗過,做律師時失敗過,就連做政客時剛開始也失敗過。他繼續努力才成為美國總統。托馬斯·愛迪生的老師曾説愛迪生“愚蠢”,他在發明電燈泡前失敗了1000多次,在此之前,還被解僱了很多次。邁克爾·喬丹曾一度被高中籃球隊除名。後來他説,
“I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games 26 times I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot … and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. That is why I succeed.”
“在我的職業生涯中,我有9000多個投球沒有投中。我輸的比賽幾乎有300場。有26次,大家相信我能投入致勝的一球…..但是我沒能。在我的生活中,我一次又一次地失敗。這就是為什麼我現在成功了。”
If we can learn anything from these successful men, it would be to never give up on our dreams simply because of fear of failure.
如果説我們能從這些成功人士身上學到些什麼的`話,那就是不要因為害怕失敗而放棄夢想。
2. Persistence.
毅力
With that failure comes persistence. Persistence is something that can only be learned through hardships. If you never fall down, you can’t learn how to get back up. Each time we pick ourselves back up and forge through, we get a little bit stronger and more capable of achieving our ultimate goals.
失敗會帶來毅力。只有歷盡艱辛,才會擁有毅力。如果你從未失敗,你不會學會如何重新爬起來。每當我們重新振作前進時,我們都會更加堅強,更有能力去實現我們最終的目標。
3. It’s better to try and fail than to wonder what might have been.
嘗試和失敗比去猜想會發生什麼要好的多
Have you ever regretted trying something in your life? Perhaps it was trying out for the school play. Or asking that special someone out on a date. That feeling of wondering what could have been might still eat at you even years down the road.
在你的生活中,你有沒有後悔去嘗試什麼東西?也許是去嘗試學校的演出。也許是邀請那個特別的人出去約會。如果不去嘗試,那幾年之後,那種去猜想會發生什麼事的感覺可能仍然在折磨着你。
How do you avoid that feeling of regret? By trying. You don’t have to do something huge, but sitting down and making a plan with small steps on how you will achieve your dreams will start you off in the right direction. Little by little you will forge a path towards your goals.
如何能避免那種遺憾的感覺?嘗試。你不必去做大事,但是坐下來,為如何實現夢想而制定一步一步的計劃會讓給你從正確的方向開始。漸漸地,你會找到通往目標的道路。
4. Successes along the way.
前進道路上的成功
If your dreams are big enough, you will have stepping stones of success along the way. Small achievements can be celebrated. These small victories can help push you through to the next goal and soon enough, your dreams will be realized.
如果你的夢想足夠大,那麼在前進的路上,你會擁有成功的墊腳石。小的成就值得慶祝。這些小的勝利能把你推向下一個目標,不久你的夢想就會實現。
5. The pursuit.
追求
Many valuable experiences are found in the ries, friendships, skills, life lessons, love. Basically, life is what happens when we make our way towards a goal. Applying for that college which seems out of reach, we might meet our soul mate. In seeking for that promotion, we might meet a best friend or mentor. Signing up for that team, we might get to travel the world. In order to value the pursuit, we need to follow our dreams!
在追求的過程中,會有很多寶貴的經驗。回憶、友誼、技能、生活經驗和愛這些都是。基本上,生活就是我們朝着目標前進的路上所發生的事情。去申請對我們來説有點兒遙不可及的大學,我們可能會遇到自己的靈魂伴侶。在尋求提升時,我們可能遇到最好的朋友或導師。和那支球隊簽約,我們可能會周遊世界。要想讓追求超值,我們需要追隨自己的夢想!
6. Success is often just around the corner.
成功往往就在眼前
If only you knew how close you were! If only you knew what an impact would be for one more phone call, one more interview, and just one more late night working on your passions. Often we give up far too soon. We can’t see what the future holds for us, but we sure can keep striving towards our dreams.
只要你知道離得有多近!只要你知道憑着激情再打一個電話、再進行一次面試、再多熬一次夜會帶來什麼樣的影響。我們常常過早放棄。我們看不到未來是什麼樣子,但是我們能朝着夢想繼續努力。
7. Setting an example.
樹立榜樣
Finally, if you have children (or might have them some day), you will be setting a good example. Do we want our children to tell stories about how comfortable we were sitting on our couch watching sitcoms, or do we want to be remembered for the passion we had for life? Hopefully we can show the future generations what it means to chase after our dreams. Most importantly, in the words of Winston Churchill,
最後,如果你有孩子(或將來會有),你會為他們樹立一個好榜樣。我們想讓孩子講起我們時,説我們愜意地坐在沙發上看情景喜劇嗎?還是我們因對生活的激情而被別人記住?希望我們可以告訴後代什麼是追隨夢想。最重要的是,用温斯頓·丘吉爾的話來説,
“Never Never Never give up.”
“永遠永遠永遠都不要放棄。”
