英語美文朗讀 第436期 You are the one setting the rules

Today belongs to the architect. He sees towers before they pierce the sky and opportunity before it transforms into the extraordinary. He knows that what he wants most can not be given. It must be sculpted. So, he builds. He builds because those skylines don't raise themselves from the earth. The extraordinary does not appear on its own. They are dreamed into existence by the architects of reality. The ones who seek not to take from the world but to contribute to it.

 

今天，是屬于建造者的。建造者，在萬丈高樓平地起之前，就看見了根基，在奇跡出現之前，就看到了機遇。他很清楚，自己想要的東西不是現成的，他必須下足苦功，精雕細琢。所以，他不斷筑造，不斷建設，因為天際線不會憑空出現，奇跡不會自己發(fā)生。是建造者們以它們?yōu)槔硐?，努力奮斗，才把它們變成了現實。

 

Today is the beginning of something new, something better, something worth remembering. And it's existed long before the present moment, waiting for your vision, your courage, your persistence to bring it to life. Too many times we fail to reach into the realm of what we know and get more of ourselves. It's okay to struggle, to be wrong, to have to rebuild a thousand times, but the great tragedy is closing our eyes and walking by life's opportunities. Everything you need to rebuild the life you dream of is around you. Your every move. If only you'd reach for it, see it before your eyes to become the architect of change.

今天是一個全新的開始，是一個更好的開始，是一個值得紀念的開始，它在很久之前就已經存在了，但你要有眼見、有膽識、有毅力，才能讓它成真。很多時候，我們無法在自己擅長的領域一展身手。掙扎，犯錯，重來無數次，這都沒問題。真正的悲劇在于我們對寶貴的機會視而不見。如果你想創(chuàng)造自己夢寐以求的生活，其實，你所需要的東西就在你身邊，你的每個舉動都與此有關。如果你能夠付出努力，預見機會，創(chuàng)造改變，那么，你的夢想就可以成真。

 

Nothing is impossible when you are the one setting the rules, when your hand draws the guidelines. You are not at the mercy of the world, you are creating it. This is yours and there will never be a moment like it again. So don't run from it or hope life gives you what you want. Take the pieces in front of you and construct your masterpiece.

如果你是規(guī)則的制定者，你是藍圖的描繪者，那么一切皆有可能。世界無法控制你，事實上，你正在改造世界。一切都取決于你，機不可失，時不再來。所以，不要逃避，不要以為生活會把你想要的一切都給你。收拾好眼前的茍且，去創(chuàng)造你自己的奇跡吧。
