Psychologists tell us that nothing controls our lives more than our self-image. We live like the person we see in the mirror. We are what we think we are. If you don’t think you’ll be successful, you won’t. You can’t be it if you can’t see it. Your life is limited to your vision. If you want to change your life, you must change your vision of your life.心理学家告诉我们，比任何东西更能控制我们人生的是我们的自我意象。.我们像在镜子里看到的自己一样地活着。自己是自我感觉的自己。如果你不认为自己会成功，那你就不会成功。你看不到也就达不到。你的人生是受你的抱负限制的。如果你想改变你的人生,你就必须改变欠的人生理想。

 

Inner sunshine warms not only the heart of the owner, but of all that come in contact with it. “Who shuts love out, in turn shall be shut from love.”内心的阳光不仅能够温暖自己的心，而且能够温周围人的心。 “拒绝爱的人,同时也会被爱拒绝.”

 

No matter what motivates you personally… whatever you choose to do with your life. Don’t expect instant success. The years of struggle, commitment and learning in excelling at whatever endeavor or trade you choose, is no easy task.不管是什么鼓舞你,你一生选择做什么,都不要期待立刻成功.奋斗、努力、学习如何做好你选择的事情的日子并不那么容易过.

It takes a lot of courage, character and discipline to achieve success in any field. Nearly all successful people have doubted themselves at some point and wanted to give up. Yet they carried on.在任何领域取得成就都需要勇气\品质和自律.几乎所有成功的人在某个时刻都曾怀疑过他们自己,并且想要放弃,但他们坚持下去了.

Success breeds success, as it gathers a momentum of its own and you get on a inning streak when everything seems to fit into place.成功培育成功,因为成功聚集了自己的动力;当每件事都顺利时,你可以连赢几局.

“Success in the continuous journey towards the achievement of predetermined worthwhile goals.” “To live your life in your own way. To reach the goals you’ve set for yourself. To be the person you want to be – that is success.” “成功是一段向着事先决定的、有价值的目标不断前进的旅程.” “按你自己的方式生活,达到你为自己定的目标, 成为真实的自我—那就是成功.”

 

If you carry on, one day something good will happen—something that wouldn’t have happened if not for that previous disappointment.如果你坚持不懈，总有一天美好的事情会发生;；,美好的事就不会发生。

 

What I love so much about life is that it’s a mystery and who knows what lies ahead.我为什么时候这么爱生活，就因为生活是个谜，谁也不知道前面有些什么。

 

People remember more how much an employer cares than how much the employer pays.人们记住更多的是雇主的关心，而不是他们所付的工资。

 

If we are brave enough to love, strong enough to forgive, generous enough to rejoice in another’s happiness, and wise enough to know there is enough love to go around for us all, then we can achieve a fulfillment that no other living creature will ever know.如果我们能够勇敢地去爱,能够坚强地去宽容,能够大度地分享别人的幸福,明智地理解在我们的身边充满爱,那么我们就能取得别的生物所不能取得的成就.

 

The human spirit can be an amazing thing, and sometimes you encounter it at its very best when you aren’t even looking.人们的精神是十分令人惊异的事物,有时甚至当你自己都没注意时,你发现它处于最佳状态.

 

It isn’t the burdens of to day that drive men mad. It is the regrets over yesterday and the fear of tomorrow. Regret and fear are twin thieves who rob us f today.真正令人发疯的不是今日的负担,而是对昨日的悔恨及明日的恐惧.悔恨与恐惧是一对孪生窃贼,将今天从你我身边偷走.

 

Success is measured in many ways, in small accomplishments and in large. There is no such thing as a small or moderate amount of success. Success is in and of itself; SUCCESS. It just is.成功可以用不同的方法来衡量,可以是小的成就,也可以是大的成就.没有小成功或中等成功之分.成功就是成功本身,它就是它自己.

Congratulate yourself. Pat yourself on the back. Toot your own horn. Don’t adhere to anyone’s opinion of success but your own and take the time to enjoy each tiny accomplishment along the way. And remember: A man plans his way but God directs his steps.祝贺你自己.拍拍自己的背,吹响你自己的号角,不要在意别人对成功的看法,坚持你自己对成功的理解,找时间庆祝一下成功路上的每个小成就.并且铭记: “每个人都计划自己的路,但上帝指引他的脚步.”

 

No matter how difficult the conflict, crisis or situation, I always remember that it’s never too late to clear up the past and begin resolution.不管矛盾、危机或情形多么困难，我总是记住清除过去的影响，并且开始解决问题,能这样做永远都不晚。

 

Don’t let anyone steal your dreams. Follow your heart, no matter what.不要让任何人偷走你的梦想。抓住你心中所向往的，无论那是什么。

 

Never give up,永不放弃,

Never lose hope.永不心灰意冷.

Always have faith,永存信念,

It allows you to cope.它会使你应付自如.

Trying times will pass,难捱的时光终将过去,

As they always do.一如既往.

Just have patience,只要有耐心,

Your dreams will come true.梦想就会成真.

So put on a smile,露出微笑,

You’ll live through your pain.你会走出痛苦.

Know it will pass,相信苦难定会过去,

And strength you will gain.你将重获力量.

 

Discrimination and prejudice are challenges. We force ourselves to work twice as hard as others; however, the rewards from our work are ours to enjoy. The important thing is to be working at something we find meaningful and worthwhile.歧视和偏见是挑战.我们迫使自己比别人加倍努力工作;无论如何,工作的回报由我们自己来享用.重要的是做那些我们认为有意义、有价值的事情.

To succeed, you must accept challenges. There will always be barriers, cultural differences, and lack of understanding around us, but it is beneficial for us to stay together, be sensitive to each other needs, and to help each other. Maintaining cultural diversity and integrity is possible as a healthy community builds on teamwork, praise, pride and enthusiasm. Once, we are dedicated to improve critical skills such as knowledge sharing, collaboration, flexibility and risk taking, we will improve our future.要成功,我们必须接受挑战.我们周围总会有障碍,文化差异以及缺乏了解,但对于我们来说团结是有益的,对彼此的需要应该敏感一些,而且互相帮助.对于一个建立在合作、奖励、自豪和热情基础上的健康集体而言,保持文化的差异与完整是可能的.一旦我们努力提高重要的技巧,如知识共享、合作、灵活性和冒险精神,我们就会改善我们的未来.

Together, we can make our world a better place in which to live by changing the way we and the rest of the population view it – positively. Let’s make this challenge a reality.让我们一起通过改变我们和其他人的观点(变得更积极),来使我们生活的这个世界更美好吧.让我们把这个挑战变成现实.

 

The first common denominator is a solid goal.第一个共同点是:一个坚实的目标.

Successful people know what they want and are willing to do everything necessary to get it. They set big, hairy, audacious goals and believe in them so deeply that their lives naturally begin to gravitate toward those goals.成功的人知道他们想要什么,并且愿意做所有必要的事情来获取成功.他们有远大的\困难的\无畏的目标,并对目标坚信不移,以至于他们的生命自然地开始向这些目标移动.

Second, successful people maintain a positive attitude. They believe in their goals and aspirations despite setbacks.第二,成功的人保持积极的态度.尽管有挫折他们仍相信自己的目标与抱负.

Third, successful people believe in themselves and a higher power. Success seems to favor those who have a healthy self-esteem and believe in a divinely endowed ability to achieve success and happiness.第三,成功的人相信全心全意自己并且有较强的能力.成功看来喜欢那些有正确自我意识并且相信神赋予他们能力追求成功和幸福的人.

I believe success is the progressive achievement of career, personal and family goals, all at the expense of none.我相信成功是一事业、个人和家庭的目标上的逐步成就,不以牺牲任何一个为代价.

A solid goal, a positive attitude and a strong belief would lead anybody who desires success along that path.一个坚实的目标、积极的态度和坚定的信仰将引领任何渴望成功的人走上成功之路.

 

Confidence is a feeling—an inner fire and an outer radiance, a basic satisfaction with what one is plus a reaching out to become more. Confidence is not something a few people are born with and other are not, for it is an acquired characteristic.自信是一种感觉-----一种来自内心的火焰外在的灿烂,使人们可以获得更多基本满足感。自信不是某些人天生就有而另一些没有，它是后天培养起来的性格。

Confidence is the personal possession of no one; the person who has it learns it—and goes on learning. The most gifred individual on earth has to construct confidence in his gifts from the basis of faith and experience, like anybody else. The tools is the same confidence and pose are available to us all according to our abilities and needs—not somebody else’s—provided we utilize our gifts and expand them.自信不是任何人的私有财产；人们通过学习获得自信并且坚持继续学习。这个世界上最聪明的人也要像其他人一样，在信念和经历的基础上来培养自信。一个人和另一个人用的工具可能不同，但是核心的任务是一样的。倘若运用我们的才智并使之不断增长，依靠我们自己的而不是别人的能力和需求，我们就可以做到自信和沉着冷静。

One of the most rewarding aspects of confidence is that it sits gracefully on everyage and level of life—on children, men, women, the famous, the obscure, rich, poor, artist, executive, teen-ager, the very old. And you can take it with you into old age. There is nothing more inspiring than an old person who maintains his good will, humor, and faith in himself, in oathers, in the future. Converesely, the root cause of old people’s despair is a feeling of not being wanted, of nothing to contribute, no more to conquer and become.自信最令人满意的方面之一是它不分年龄和生活水准不懈地跟随我们每个人----小孩，男人，女人，名人，平凡人，富人，穷人，艺术家，行政人员，青少年，老人。你还可以把自信带入老年。再没有比一个老人能够保持自己，对别人和未来怀有美好意愿、心情、信念更能鼓舞人心的了。相反，老人绝望的根本原因是不被需要，无所贡献，无所征服和无所成就的感觉。

Most people have more to work with than they realize. One noted physicist calls this unused excellencies and finding and releasing this potential in ourselves is one of the major challenges of modern life. The great danger is not that we shall overreach our capacities but that we shall undervalue and under-employ them, thus blighting our great possibilities.大多数人都比他们意识到的更大有可为。一位著名的物理学家把它称之为未被利用的优点，找到并且释放我们身上的这些潜能是当代生活中重要的挑战之一。最多的危险不是我们高估我们的能力，而是我们会低估并且不能充分利用这些能力，这会破坏我们的潜能。

The goal of life is not a problemless existence, which would be unbearably dull, but a way to handle problems creatively. That word “problem” nay sound a little prickly, but it only means a quention put forth for solution, and actually life consists of a series of problems-and-solutions, each different from the last.生活的目标不是无忧无虑，那样会无聊得无法忍受，而应该是创造性地解决问题。“问题”这个词可能听起来有点让人生气，但是它只意味着一个被提出的等待解决的问题，事实上生活就是由一系列的问题-----解决问题构成的，每一个问题都与上一个不同。

Confidence is delight—delight in living, in being who you are, in what you do, in growing, in the endless and sometimes exasperating adventure of what it means to be human. The teacher who delights in teaching has no time for bogging down in a suamp of doubt that he or she is doing it “right”, and they are well aware that they can become a better teacher tomorrow, but only by doing their best today and enjoying today. So, too, the mother who delights in being a mother does not worry ovemuch about whether she fits the rules. She is not the mother, after all, of somrthing material but of a living child.自信是喜悦，生活的喜悦，是自我的快乐，做事的快乐，成长的快乐，体验人类种种坎坷历程的快乐。以教学为快乐的老师，没有时间怀疑他（她）做得是否对，通过今天的努力工作并感到满意，他们很清楚明天会做得更好。母亲也如此，她们也不会过多地担心她是否适合这个角色。她照顾的毕竟不是无生命的物质，而是一个活生生的孩子。

Rules can often be a guide to successful living, but they are not a substitute for living. Rules never quite keep up with reality, because rules come from experience, not be other way around. Life happens, and it is infinitely inventive. It will always outrun and outmaneuver any attempt to bottle it up in a cut-and-dried system, for life is  perpetual becoming. When life turns your wisest plans or best rules upside down, throw out the plans and bend with the circumstance. You will find powers you did not suspect, and possibilities undreamed of.规则是通往成功生活的向导，但不是生活的替代品。规则不是十分符合现实，因为规则来自经验，而不是经验来自规则。生活的真谛远胜于发明创造。生活总会超越那些束缚它的一板一眼的制度。因为生活总在变化。当生活把你最聪明的计划或最好的准则推翻时，扔掉那些计划，适应环境，你会找到你意想不到的力量，以及你做梦也没想到的可能性。

Confidence is not always winning, not always victory, indeed, it is that very quality in humanity which refuses to stay defeated. A kind of stubborn cheerfulness. Remember there are two things you can do with mistakes: you can run away and you can grow.自信并不是总能胜利，总能打赢。实际上，它是人类不甘于失败的品质，一种绝不退让的快活。记住对于错误你可以采取两种态度：你可以逃避，也可以从中成长。

 

Courage is a gift勇气是才能

Courage is daring to be Brave. Enterprising. Bold. In your business or personal life, how often do you question your thoughts, your actions, or your motives? When you don’t exercise the ability to always test yourself, you may lose not only your confidence, but more importantly, you lose the ability to focus, to know yourself, your friends, and your customers.勇气是敢于面对风险，敢于进取，敢于无畏地前进。在你的工作或个人生活中，你时常对你的思想、行动或动机提出疑问吗？当你不经常锻炼检验自己的能力时，你仅会失去信心，更重要的是，你会失去认识自己，认识你的朋友和顾客的能力。

When faced with decisions and challenges, asking yourself questions every day, every hour every moment gives you the courage bo discover what is important to you and what a particular situation means to you, and what result or solution you will like to accomplish.当你面对决策与挑战时，时时刻刻都问你自己一些问题，这样做会给你勇气，发掘什么对于你来说是重要的；某个特殊的情况对于你意味着什么，以及你想达到什么样的结果，或找到什么样的解决方法。

Not many people experience life the way they want it to be. If things don’t work out the way you want, don’t find someone else to blame. Know what goals you want, then question your actions in reaching them. Compare your answers to what others may wish for you. After all, having a successful business or a life of contentment requires you to know yourself and the goals that are best for you.不是很多人都能按照他们的理想来生活。如果事情和你想像的不一样，不要责备别人，想想你希望达到的目标，然后检查一下你追求目标的行动是否得当。比较你的回答和他人对你的期望。毕竟，工作的成功或生活的美满要求你要了解你自己和最适合于你的目标。

Courage is getting in the habit of looking inward and going with your highest feeling of what is true and what feels right for you. Apply this inner evaluation in your business and in your personal life. This is important if you wish to grow and stay successful. It works!勇气是养成自省和找到自己真正适合的感觉的习惯。如果你想成长并且保持成功，把这种自我评价应用到你的工作和个人生活中十分重要。这种方法的确有效。

Have the courage to be curious(not nosy!). A quest for knowledge about life and the people you interact with is good. Look for answers to whatever you plan to do. This keeps you thoughtful. Keep a journal if it helps. Over time, you can look back and discover the results of your actions(ot reactions) to certain problems. Then when faced with future or similar problems, you’ll have a ready solution.要有勇气保持好奇心（但不要过分！）。寻求生活知识以及了解与你交往的人是有好处的。寻求你想做的每件事的答案。这使你更能顾及他人的需要。如果有帮助的话，可以记日记。过一段时间，你可以回过头去看看，发现针对某个问题你的行动（或反应）所产生的结果。这样当面对未来或同样的问题时，你则有备无患。

Realize your weaknesses and work toward improving them. Continue to renew yourself and remember that life has a way of constantly testing your ability and courage to deal with it. When you can learn to appreciate the challenges in both your business and personal life, you find inner strength. Then you are able to bring about an inner peace and spirituality that gives you a good tool for building self-confidence and self esteem.认识你的弱点并且尽力改善它们。不断赋予你自己新的生命与活力，并且记住生活总是不断检验你处理它的能力和勇气。当你学会欣赏工作和个人生活中的挑战时，你就会有来自内心的力量，之后你就可以得到内心的平静与精神的力量，这样便能更好地培养自信与自尊。

There is something inside each of us that fuels our motivation, our passion, and our reason to succeed. Keep encouraging yourself to take the necessary risks to refuel your conficdence. Question your  motives. Then search for the answer. Question any doubts you or others may have about your courage to succeed. You are what is important.我们每个人的内心都有一些事物可以激发我们的动机、热情和理智来获取成功。不断鼓励你自己冒必要的风险来增强信心。检查一下你的动机，然后寻找答案，你有勇气成功，不要相信你自己或他人对此的怀疑。你是重要的。

Don’t let negative thoughts get in the way of your progress and your goals. Control your thoughts. Think about what is improtant to you. When your thoughts are positive, they have a way of replenishing your courage. No matter how often unpleasant or difficult challenges get you down, don’t give in to negative thinking. Just pick yourself up and move on. Focus on what gives you your strength and uniqueness.不要让消极的思想妨碍你进步或达到目标。控制你的思想。想想对你重要的事情。当你的思想积极时，它们可以使你再次鼓起勇气。不管不愉快的或困难的挑战多么频繁地使你情绪低落，不要屈服于消极的思想。只需要站起来继续前进，把精力集中在给你力量和独特性的事物上。

Remember: motivation, passion, and your reason to succeed in life, as well as in business, are essential requirements to reaching your goals. Live life in a constant state of awareness, with peaceful thoughts, a dash of forcefulness, and a good measure of faith and spirituality. You will then be exercising your gift of courage.记住：在生活中和工作中取得成功的动机、热情和理智，是达到你的目标必不可少的条件。要生活在不断思考中，带着平静的思想，坚强的性格以及适当的信念和信仰。这样你就可以磨练你的勇气。

 

Many people fail before they even begin because they fail to ask for what they want. The fear of rejection leads many of us to reject ourselves and our dreams long  before anyone else ever has the chance—no matter what we are selling.许多人还没有开始就已经失败了，因为他们不敢争取他们想要的东西。害怕被拒绝使我们许多人在被别人拒绝之前，就已经先否定了自己和自己的梦想，无论我们推销的是什么。

And everyone is selling something. You’re selling yourself everyday—in school, to your boss, to new people you meet.其实每个人都在推销一些东西。每天你都在推销着自己，在学校推销、向你老板推销、向你新结识的人推销。

It takes courage to ask for what you want. Courage is not the absence of fear. It’s doing what it takes despite one’s fear. And, the more you ask, the easier(and more fun) it gets.去争取达到你的梦想的确需要勇气。勇气不是没有恐惧感。尽管你害怕，也要去争取，你请求的次数越多，你就越容易得到，也越有乐趣。

 

Self-assertion说出你的想法

Have you ever walked away from a situation and wished you handled it differently? At times, do you feel that others overlook your rights? Can you recall losing your temper and not getting your point across effectively? If you have answered “yes” to any sertiveness. Assertiveness is the ability to clearly represent your thoughts and feelings in a mutually respectful way. It does not infringe on the rights of others or rely on guolt for results. Assertiveness starts with the premise that each human being is given rights that do not depend on status or performance. You have the right to express your perspective. You have the right to assume personal responsibility and to decline responsibility for others. How you govern yourself in relation to these rights is important for “valued” communication.你是否曾经逃避过某些事情而希望自己能以不同的方式处理呢？有时你是不是觉得别人忽略了斧权利？你是否曾经发脾气而你要表达的意思没能被人理解？如果你对以上任何一个问题作了肯定回答，你可能在自信方面遇到了挑战。自信是以互相尊重的方式清楚的表述你的看法和感受的能力。它不侵犯别人的权利也不因结果的错误而悔恨。自信的前提是每个人无论其地位或表现都被赋予权利。你有权表达你的看法。你有权对自己负责并拒绝为别人承担责任。你如何处理自己和这些权利的关系对有价值的交流很重要。

Communication is valued when both parties, the sender and the receiver, are respectecd. There are three primary styles of communication: passive, assertive, and aggressive communication rests with the exchange between parties and quality of the message. Passiveness diminishes your capacity to be heard and validated. Aggressiveness exerts differential power to promote a certain end result that is not based on mutual respect. Only assertiveness respectfully engages both parties for valued communication.只有当说话的人和收听者双方都被尊重时，交流才有意义。有三种基本交流方式：消极被动的，坚定自信的和坚持已见的。这三种交流方式的不同点在于交流的双方和信息的质量。消极被动减弱了你被听到和被认可的能力。坚持已见运用不同的力量提倡不是建立在互相尊重基础上的结局。只有坚定自信才能使双方都能进行有效的交流。

In order to achieve assertive communication, one needs a level of self-confidence,self-worth, and self-awareness. Self-confidence is projected, not performed. It has to radiate from within and does not rely on others. Self-worth comes from believing that you are a worthwhile individual who deserves the best that life has to offer. Self-awareness develops from personal monitoring. One learns of strengths and weaknesses by making internal assessments. Self-assertion is a natural process for individuals who are confidence and aware. In essence, you must have confidence within before you can demonstrate it in the midst of others.为了达到坚定而自信地交流，每个人需要有一定程度的自信，自我肯定和自知之明。自信是反映出来的而不是表现出来的。他来自内心而且不依靠别的事物。自我肯定即相信你是一个应该得到生命中最美好事物的有价值的人。自知之明是通过自我监督培养起来的。通过内心的衡量一个人知道自己的长处和短处。有信心表达自己的看法对于有信心且了解自己的人是一个自然的过程。核心是，在你证明给别人看之前你必须有信心。
