诵读美文：Success Is On The Other Side 成功就在对面

【博主按语】成功的原因只有一个，不成功的借口有无数，成功往往离我们比我们想象的近得多，就在对面...

    Everybody wants success. Some people aim for it; others just talk about it. We all know what it looks like… when someone else has it. Oftentimes it just seems like something too far out of reach.

    The truth is… success is closer than you think. It's just on the other side… you have to want it enough, and be willing enough to get it.

    On the other side of fear

    Fear is your biggest obstacle – fear of failure, fear of the judgment of others; fear of actually succeeding. It will trip you up every time. It will cause you to make decisions that may seem "right" at the time, but they're preventing you from actually getting over that wall.

    On the other side of excuses

    Success has no excuses. You either get it or you don't. The minute you find a reason not to take another step towards success is the moment you stop being successful. In the symphony of success, excuses are just noise.

    On the other side of obstacles

    Everyone faces changes; different ones at different times. We all handle the same challenges differently; we all have different results. It's how you handle each one and what you do with the results that count. An obstacle is something you either find a way around or allow to stop you. Remember, you've got to get passed obstacles in order to succeed.

    On the other side of failures

    Not everything works; even if it works for other people, the same thing just doesn't work for us. So what? Failure can either become an obstacle and an excuse or it can become your teacher in what not to do. What's it going to be?

    It takes effort, commitment and follow-through

    They call it a ladder of success for a reason… because you need to climb it in order to get somewhere. It's not an escalator. You just don't stand there and let it do the work for you. You have to do the work yourself. Sometimes it will be easy; other times you'll be carrying a heavy load on your shoulders. The ladder remains the same. Success still waits on the other side. It's going to take determination and persistence on your part to get up and over that wall.

Which side do you want to be on?

译文：

成功就在对面

　　每个人都渴望获得成功。有些人以此为目标，而有些人则多言寡行。当别人获得成功时，我们都知道什么是成功。在很多时候，成功看起来似乎遥不可及。

　　而事实上，成功比你想象的要容易得多。成功只不过就在对面--你必须对成功充满渴望，必须心甘情愿去获取它。

　　成功在恐惧的对面

　　恐惧是最大的障碍--对失败的恐惧，对他人评价的恐惧，对真正获得成功的恐惧。恐惧时时会把你绊倒，它会使你作出那些在当时看似“正确”的决定，而这些决定却会妨碍你真正去克服那些困难。

　　成功就在托辞的对面

　　成功没有任何托辞。要么成功，要么失败。寻找托辞不朝成功之路再迈进一步之时便是你不再获得成功之日。在成功的交响曲中，托辞不过是噪音而已。

　　成功在障碍的对面

　　每个人都要面临各种变化，这些变化随着时间的不同而不同。同样的挑战若是对应方式不同，得到的结果也各不相同。重要的是，你如何应对每一个变化以及如何处理那些重要的结果。面对障碍，你要么找到出路，要么让它成为你的“拦路虎”。要记住，为了获得成功，你必须穿越障碍。

　　成功在失败的对面

　　并非事实都行得通，即使是同样的一件事，对他人起作用，对我们却不一定有效。即使如此，那有如何呢?失败既可以成为障碍，成为托辞，也可以化身给予你指导的老师。

　　这需要付出努力，需要承担责任，需要坚持到底。

　　人们有理由称之为通向成功的阶梯--因为你需要借助这个梯子才能到达某个地方。但它不是自动扶梯，你不能在那儿站着不动，让自动扶梯为你工作。你得身体力行。有时你会轻而易举，有时你则肩负重任。阶梯保持原样，成功仍在对面等待。你需要决心和毅力去穿越那堵障碍之墙。

　　那么，你希望在哪一边?
