1. You can follow your dreams someday, but right now you need to buckle down and be responsible. Someday? When is someday?Someday is not a day at all. Its a foggy generalization of a time that will likely never come. Today is the only day guaranteed to you. Today is the only day you can begin to make a difference in your life. And pursuing your dreams is what life is all about. So dont be irresponsible. Dont wait until someday. Make today the first day of the rest of your new life.

等以后有一天，你可以追求你的夢想，但現在你最好抑制下，要對自己負責。有一天， 哪一天是有一天?有一天根本不是一個具體的日期。它基本上就是一個永不出現的時間。今天才是你能使用的日子。今天是你可以將你生活變得不同的唯一一天。而追求你的夢想是你的生命意義所在。所以不要不負責任。不要等到那所謂的有一天。把今天就變成新生活的第一天。

2. Youre totally screwed if it doesnt work out. This is a giant, lame load of BS. Youre not even close to being screwed. In fact, the worst case scenario is that things dont work out and you have to go back to doing exactly what you are doing right now.

如果不成功，你就死定了。這是一個錯誤的想法。你甚至不會因此接近被折磨的境地。實際上，最糟糕的無非是沒成功，你不得不重操舊業。

3. Its safer to stay at your day job. Sure, I suppose. But you know whats even safer than that? Going home, locking yourself in your bedroom, and never, ever coming out. And just like that you will have flushed your entire life and your dreams down the toilet. Remember, safer doesnt always mean better.

停留在你現在的工作上比較安全。沒錯，我同意。但你知道怎樣更安全嗎?回家，把自己鎖在臥室里，從此閉門不出。像那樣的話，你就把你的整個生活和夢想都沖進了馬桶。記住，更安全不意味著更好。

4. Thats impossible! Its only impossible if you never do anything about it. The reason certain things seem impossible is simply because nobody has achieved them yet. But this doesnt mean that with your help these things wont become possible in the future. If you truly dedicate yourself to an end result, almost anything is possible.

那是不可能的!如果你什么都不做才是不可能的呢。某件事情看上去不太可能的原因只是因為現在還沒有人做到罷了。但是這不意味著將來你來做這件事也會不成功。如果你真的投身于某件事，幾乎任何事情都可能做到。

5. Only a lucky few make it. Thats because those lucky few got off their rear ends and did something about it! They had the drive, determination, and willpower that you have right now. You can be one of them. Its up to you, and only you.

只有很少一部分人能成功。這是因為這些幸運兒動手做了些什么。他們有的就是你現在有的動力，決心和意志力。你能夠成為他們中的一員。這取決于你，僅僅是你。

6. You might fail. And failing is bad. Failures are simply stepping stones to success. No matter how it turns out, it always ends up just the way it should be. Either you succeed or you learn something. The biggest mistake you can make is doing nothing because youre too scared to make a mistake. If you cant handle failure, then you cant handle success either.

你可能會失敗，而失敗是可怕的。失敗僅僅是成功的基石。無論結果是什么，最后總會是應得的：或者你成功了，或者你學到了什么。最大的錯誤是你因為害怕犯錯誤而什么都不做。如果你無法應對失敗，你就無法應對成功。

7. You dont have access to the right resources. Its not about having the right resources; its about exploiting the resources you do have access to.

你沒有足夠的資源。這不是有沒有足夠資源的問題，而是你如何得到你現有的資源。

8. You need more money saved before you can take the first step. You dont need more money. You need a plan. You need a budget. Eliminate all the nonessential costs in your life. Dont be foolish and assume that you must have a certain amount of money saved right now, or that you must quit your day job today in order to pursue your dreams. Instead, ask yourself, What actions can I take right now with the money and resources I have right now that will bring me closer to desired goal?

你在開始前，你得先存夠錢。你需要的不是更多錢，而是一個計劃。你需要做個預算，避免生活中所有不必要的開支。不要傻了，不要以為你一定要現在就有一筆錢或者你必須今天就辭職去追求夢想。相反，問問自己我現在有的資源和金錢可以用來做些什么使得我離目標更近些?

9. You dont need any help. Its smarter to go after it alone. You are the sum of the people you spend the most time with. If you hang with the wrong people, they will negatively affect you. But if you hang with the right people, you will be far more capable and powerful than you ever could have been alone. Find your tribe and work together to make a difference in all of your lives.

你不需要任何幫助。最好是自己一個人做。你最了解自己。如果你結交了錯誤的伙伴，他們將帶來負面的影響。但如果你選對了人，就能比一個人的時候能力更強。所以找到你的伙伴，一起做出與眾不同的改變。

10. That sounds like a lot of hard work. I think success in life hinges on one key point: Finding hard work you love doing. As long as you remain true to yourself and follow your own interests, values and dreams, you can find success through passion. If you catch yourself working hard and loving every minute of it, dont stop. Youre on to something big. Because hard work arent hard when you concentrate on your passions and dreams.

聽上去需要很多艱苦的工作。你說得對：實現夢想當然需要艱苦地工作!但這并不意味著你不值得這么做。我認為成功的生活有一個關鍵：找到你樂意為之努力的工作。只要你保持本心，追隨你的興趣，價值觀和夢想，你的激情將引導你通向成功。如果你努力自己的事業，喜歡從事它的每一分鐘，那么不要停下來。你會成就大事業。當你聚焦在你的激情和夢想時，艱苦的工作就不會苦了。

Disregard these misguided bits of nonsense and youll be well on your way to fulfilling your dreams. Now get out there and make a splash!

拋棄這些錯誤觀點，你就會踏上追夢的道路。那么現在就出發，成就一番大事業吧。
