施瓦辛格短片演讲

 

 

Now today, I'm gonna give you the six rules of success. But before I start, I just wanted to say these are my rules. I think that they can apply to anyone, but that is for you to decide, because not everyone is the same. There are some people that just like to kick back and coast through life and others want to be very intense and want to be number one and want to be successful.

今天我跟你们分享一下成功的6个要诀。但是开始之前我得先说好，这是个人经验，虽然我感觉你们都能用得上，但还是要看你们自己，毕竟每人都不尽相同。有人想平平淡淡安度一生，也有人想激烈一些，想争第一，想成功。

I always wanted to be very intense, I always wanted to be number one. I took it very seriously, my career. So this was the same when I started with bodybuilding. I didn't want to just be a bodybuilding champion, I wanted to be the best bodybuilder of all times.

我自己总是想让生活更刺激一些，我想争第一。我对自己的事业看得很重，当我开始投身健美事业的时候也是一样的。我不仅想做健美冠军，我还想成为整个健美史上的第一人。

The first rule is: Trust yourself

第一个要诀：相信自己。

 

 

And what I mean by that is, so many young people are getting so much advice from their parents and from their teachers and from everyone. But what is most important is that you have to dig deep down, dig deep down and ask yourselves, who do you want to be? Not what, but who.

这个意思其实就是：现在的年轻人获取信息的渠道太多了，会有来自各方的各种建议。但是最关键的点在于深挖内心，问自己：你想成为谁？不是你想成为什么，而是谁。

 

 

And I'm talking about not what your parents and teachers want you to be, but you. I'm talking about figuring out for yourselves what makes you happy, no matter how crazy it may sound to the people.

我说的不是你父母老师对你的期待，而是你自己的欲望，你想成为谁。你要搞清楚，什么能让你快乐，无论在旁人看来有多扯，只要你认定了，就去做。

 

 

So rule no.1 is of course: Trust yourself no matter how or what anyone else thinks.

所以第一个要诀就是无论旁人怎么想，你都要相信自己。

 

 

And of course rule number two is: Break the rules

第二个要诀：不要循规蹈矩。

 

 

We have so many rules in life about everything. I say break the rules. Not the law, but break the rules. It is impossible to be a maverick or a true original if you're too well behaved and don't want to break the rules. You have to think outside the box. That's what I believe. After all, what is the point of being on this earth if all you want to do is be liked by everyone and avoid trouble?

我们生活中有种种限制。要我说，人要敢于打破常规。不是让你违法，而是不要总是循规蹈矩。老好人永远也不可能成为意见领袖或者创作者。你必须要能特立独行的思考，打破常规。毕竟，总是讨好别人，总是怕麻烦，活着能有什么意思。

Which of course brings me rule number three: Don't be afraid to fail.

第三条：别怕失败。

Anything I've ever attempted, I was always willing to fail.

So you can't always win, but don't be afraid of making decisions.

You can't be paralyzed by fear of failure or you will never push yourself. You keep pushing because you believe in yourself and in your vision and you know that it is the right thing to do, and success will come. So don't be afraid to fail.

我的每一次尝试我都愿意面对失败。

你不可能一直赢的，所以也别怕做出什么愚蠢的决定。

如果你要是一直怕失败，怕输，那你还怎么突破自己？你得一直往前冲，推着自己往前冲，你必须要相信你自己的视野，相信你的判断，成功总会有的。所以，别怕失败。

Rule number four: Don't listen to the naysayers.

第四条：不要相信“打击者”。

 

 

How many times have you heard that you can't do this and you can't do that and it's never been done before?

If I would have listened to the naysayers I would still be in the Austrian Alps yodeling.

So I never listen that, "You can't." I always listen to myself and say, "Yes, you can."

你听到过多少回别人说“你不行”“这事没人行”?

假如我当时听信了这些话，我这会还在奥地利唱花腔了。

所以我从来不信“你不行”我从来都是对自己说“你一定行”

And that brings me to rule number five, which is the most important rule of all: Work your butt off. You never want to fail because you didn't work hard enough. I never wanted to lose a competition or lose an election because I didn't work hard enough. I always believed leaving no stone unturned.

这就引出了我们的第五条，也是最重要的一条：撅起屁股就是干。你绝对不想因为没有拼尽全力而失败后悔吧。我反正从不想因为没有尽力而输掉任何一场比赛或者选举。我一直坚信：拼尽全力不留一丝遗憾。

Mohammed Ali, one of my great heroes, had a great line in the '70s when he was asked, "How many sit-ups do you do?" He said, "I don't count my sit-ups. I only start counting when it starts hurting. When I feel pain, that's when I start counting, because that's when it really counts."

穆罕默德·阿里，我最崇拜的人之一曾经在70年代说过一句很著名的话。当我们问他：你一般做多少仰卧起坐？他答道：我一般不去数多少个除非我的核心肌群开始酸痛，这时候我会去数。因为这时候你做的仰卧起坐才真正开始起效。

That's what makes you a champion. That's the way it is with everything. No pain, no gain. And let me tell you, it is important to have fun in life, of course. But when you're out there partying, horsing around, someone out there at the same time is working hard. Someone is getting smarter and someone is winning. Just remember, you can't climb the ladder of success with your hands in your pockets.

这才是冠军精神。这也是对待所有的事应当有的态度。没有汗水就没有收获。我承认，找找乐子对于生活也是很必要的，但你在嗨的时候，在闹的时候，记住，有人在付出，在努力，

有人在增长智慧，有人在取得胜利。记住，伸出双手才能牢牢抓住胜利。

And that takes me to rule number six, which is a very important rule: it's about giving back. Whatever path that you take in your lives, you must always find time to give something back. Something back to your community. Give something back to your state or to your country.

这引出了我们的第六点，也非常重要：回馈。无论你怎样选择你的生活，你都要适时的给予，适时的回馈社会，回馈国家。
