英語美文朗讀 第300期 Dont count the cost

When you want something bad, you can't count the cost, because if you count the cost and you see how much it's going to cost, you might quit and you might give up, so you got to go in knowing that I don't count the cost. I'll do as many pushups as it takes, as many sit-ups as it takes, as many reps as it takes. I'll study as long as it takes. I'll pay whatever the price is. Why? Because if you start to count the cost, I might quit. I might give up. I might surrender.

如果你真的很渴望做成一件事，你就不會計較損失。因為你一旦計較損失，一旦想到自己要付出很多，你可能就會放棄，半途而廢。所以，要認(rèn)真努力地做你想做的事，要讓自己明白，你不會計較付出。就像運動一樣，無論要做多少俯臥撐，多少仰臥起坐，多少次訓(xùn)練，我都會去做。我會堅持學(xué)習(xí)，我愿意付出任何代價。為什么？因為如果一旦開始計較付出，我就可能會放棄，我就可能會半途而廢，我就可能會屈服。

Don't count the cost. You don't count the cost on this one. You don't count how many breaths you take. You don't count it. You get to a point where you don't count it. You just do whatever it takes to get whatever you want. Don't stop. Stay busy. Work your plan. Continue to do those things that you know that work for you, after you have evaluated yourself in the situation. Once you make a decision you go all in. And you say ain't quit until I get there. Ain't given up. Ain't given in. I will do whatever it takes to be successful.

不要計較損失。在你最想做的事情上，不要計較損失。你不會糾結(jié)要付出多少努力，你完全不考慮它。你要到達一個不計代價的境界。你只管去做事，去努力獲取自己想得到的東西。不要停下來，要讓自己保持忙碌，認(rèn)真執(zhí)行自己的計劃。在你仔細(xì)衡量過自己的處境之后，去做那些真正對自己有好處的事。一旦你做了決定，就要全力以赴。你要告訴自己，在我做成之前，我決不放棄，絕不半途而廢，絕不屈服。為了成功，我可以付出任何代價。

And when you make that decision, you, when you look in the mirror, when you tell yourself that, look, I'm through. I'll do whatever it takes. I guarantee you that's the day it begins to happen. Forget about your past. Forget about what happened back in the day. Make the rest of your life the best of your life. Do you gotta embrace the faith. Dou got to believe in everything that's happening right now. If you keep pressing, you keep pushing forward, guess what, one day it's gonna be your day.

做出這個決定時，你，沒錯，說的就是你，請你看著鏡子里的自己，對自己說，看啊，我熬過來了，無論需要做什么，我都會去做。到了這個時候，我向你保證，你的轉(zhuǎn)機就要來了。忘掉過去，忘掉以往發(fā)生的事，把你余下的時光變成最美好的時光，擁抱自己的信念，相信現(xiàn)在發(fā)生的事情。如果你能夠不斷督促自己，不斷驅(qū)使自己往前走，等著瞧吧，總有一天你會獲得成功。

That's right. I need you to say that with me. One day, it's gonna be your day. Embrace faith. You got to be able to see it and believe it when there's no evidence around you, when there is no evidence to be found, when you have pain in your life, when you are tired, when you feel like you want to give up and you feel like you need to quit, when you look around you you don't see anything that looks anything like success. You got to embrace the faith and believe that one day it's gonna be your day.

沒錯，我要你跟我一起說，終有一天，你會成功。擁抱信念。無論怎樣，你要看到信念，你要堅守信念，就算你沒有看到成功的跡象，就算你完全不認(rèn)為自己會成功，就算你痛苦萬分，就算你筋疲力盡，就算你想放棄而且不得不放棄，就算你環(huán)顧四周卻看不到任何成功的希望，你也要擁抱自己的信念，并堅信自己，你終將成功。

But that day will never come if you give up. If you quit, no day will ever be your day. I want you to fail forward. That's right. You heard me. I said you've got to fail forward. I want you to get to the place in your life that every single mistake you make, every setback that comes your way, every obstacle that you don't overcome, every barrier you don't climb, that these don't make you give up. But I want you to fail forward. You've got to learn from your mistakes that every mistake you make, you've failed that class you get back you try again, you lose a job, you get back, you try again, you put all your money in an investment, say it with me, you get back and you try again.

但是，如果你放棄了，那一天就不會到來。如果你放棄了，你就永無翻身之日。我要你越挫越勇，雖敗猶榮。沒錯，就是這樣，我的意思是，就算失敗，你也要往前走。我想要你到達這樣的境界，每個你犯的錯誤，每個你遇到的挫折，每個你無法克服的障礙，每個你無法越過的阻攔，這些都無法讓你放棄。我想讓你越挫越勇。你要從自己曾經(jīng)犯過的錯誤中吸取教訓(xùn)。每個你犯的錯誤，你沒有通過的課程，你都要重來一遍，你回頭再嘗試一次。如果你失業(yè)了，回去，再試一次。如果你的投資花光了所有積蓄而且失敗了，和我一起說，你要勇敢地回去，再試一次。

If you started a business and it didn't work out, don't stop, don't quit. Fail forward. Learn from each one of your mistakes. Don't quit. Don't give up. Listen to me. Don't quit. Don't give up if it gets hard. You swim. You swim hard if you have to, but you keep going. I want you to know you'll never reach your goal, you'll never reach your dreams, if you don't use your imagination. So, if you fail that class, you don't drop it. If you fail that class, you keep going. You go back to that class and then you go back again. And you go back to that class again. And you go into that class because I want you to know something.

如果你自主創(chuàng)業(yè)但沒有成功，不要停下你的腳步，不要放棄。就算失敗了，也要往前走。從每個你犯過的錯誤中學(xué)習(xí)。不要放棄，不要半途而廢。聽我的，就算很艱難，你也不能放棄，你也不能半途而廢。你要逆流而上。就算你是被迫的，你也要逆流而上。你要保持前進。我要讓你知道，如果你都不期待自己成功，你就永遠(yuǎn)無法實現(xiàn)你的目標(biāo)，你就永遠(yuǎn)無法實現(xiàn)你的夢想。所以，如果某門課沒過關(guān)，不要放棄它。就算沒過關(guān)，你也要堅持前進，重新回到班上學(xué)習(xí)，重新開始，如果仍然失敗，就再次重新回去學(xué)習(xí)。你要回去，因為我想讓你明白一個道理。

When you start that class over next semester, you won't be starting from scratch. You won't start from the bottom, because you are all the way up here. And now you have to go a little further. And a little further. So keep reaching. Keep climbing. And it starts with a vision. Fear is not real. The only place that fear can exist is in our thoughts of the future, is a product of our imagination, causing us to fear things that do not exist at present and may never actually exist. Fear is a choice. Only those who are willing to risk going too far can possibly find out how far they can go.

這個道理就是，等到你下學(xué)期重新開始學(xué)這門課時，你不是從頭再來，你不是從零開始，因為你已經(jīng)有現(xiàn)成的基礎(chǔ)了?，F(xiàn)在，你只需要再往前走一點，就那么一點而已。那么，請你保持上進，堅持往前走。這一切都要從你的眼界開始。恐懼并不是真實的，它只存在于你對未來胡思亂想中。恐懼是我們憑空捏造的東西，它讓我們害怕那些現(xiàn)在不存在、或者壓根就沒存在過的東西，它是我們自找的。只有那些愿意冒險遠(yuǎn)征的人，才能發(fā)現(xiàn)自己到底能夠走多遠(yuǎn)。
