　　Success Is on the Other Side

　　成功就在對面

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

　　每個人都渴望獲得成功。有些人以此為目標，而有些人則多言寡行。當別人獲得成功時，我們都知道什麼是成功。在很多時候，成功看起來似乎遙不可及。

　　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.

　　而事實上，成功比你想象的要容易得多。成功只不過就在對面，你必須對成功充滿渴望，必須心甘情願去獲取它。

　　On the other side of fear

　　成功在恐懼的對面

　　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.

　　恐懼是最大的障礙一對失敗的恐懼，對他人評價的恐懼，對真正獲得成功的恐懼。恐懼時時會把你絆倒，它會使你做出那些在當時看似“正確”的決定，而這些決定卻會妨礙你真正去克服那些困難。

　　On the other side of excuses

　　成功在託辭的對面

　　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.

　　成功沒有任何託辭。要麼成功，要麼失敗。尋找託辭不朝成功之路再邁一步之時便是你不再獲得成功之日。在成功的交響曲中，託辭只不過是噪音而已。

　　On the other side of obstacles

　　成功在障礙的對面

　　Everyone faces changes; different ones at different times. We all handle the same challenges differently; we all have different results. If 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.

　　每個人都要面臨各種變化，這些變化隨著時間的不同而不同。同樣的挑戰若是應對方式不同，得到的結果也各不相同。重要的是，你如何應對每一個變化以及如何處理那些結果。面對障礙，你要麼找到出路，要麼讓它成為你的“攔路虎”。要記住，為了獲得成功，你必須穿越障礙。

　　On the other side of failures

　　成功在失敗的對面

　　Not everything works; even if it works for other people, the same thing just doesn^ 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?

　　並非事事都行得通，即使是同樣的一件事，對他人起作用，對我們卻不一定有效。即便如此，那又如何呢?失敗既可以成為障礙，成為託辭，也可以化身為給予你指導的老師。

　　It takes efifort, commitment and follow-throgh.

　　成功需要付出努力，需要承擔責任，需要堅持到底。

　　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.

　　人們有理由稱之為通向成功的階梯,因為你需要藉助這個階梯才能到達某個地方。但它不是自動扶梯，你不能在那兒站著不動，讓自動扶梯為你工作。你得身體力行。有時你會輕而易舉，有時你則肩負重擔。階梯保持原樣，成功仍然在對面等待。你需要決心和毅力去穿越那堵障礙之牆。

　　Which side do you want to be on?

　　那麼，你希望在哪一邊?

　　Serenity

　　平靜

　　Calmness of mind is one of the beautiful jewels of wisdom. It is the result of long and patient effort in selfcontrol, Its presence is an indication of ripened experience, and of a more than ordinary knowledge of the laws and operations of thought.

　　心靈的平靜是智慧的寶藏，它來自於長期、耐心的自我控制。內心的安寧是經歷成熟的表現，也是對思想活動規律的更深入的瞭解。

　　A man becomes calm in the measure that he understands himself as a thought evolved being, for such knowledge necessitates the understanding of others as the result of thought, and as he develops a right understanding, and sees more and more clearly the internal relations of things by the action of cause and effect he ceases to fuss and fume and worry and grieve, and remains poised, steadfast, serene.

　　一個人能否心境平和，取決於他對自己的瞭解程度，因為如果他想了解別人，就必須先了解自己;當他對人對己有了更深入的瞭解，並越來越清晰地洞察到事物內部息息相關的因果關係時，他就不會再驚訝、憤怒、焦慮或憂愁，而是以從容、鎮定、平和的態度去對待一切。

　　The calm man, having learned how to govern himself, knows how to adapt himself to others; and they, in turn, reverence his spiritual strength, and feel that they can learn of him and rely upon him. The more tranquil a man becomes, the greater is his success, his influence, his power for good. Even the ordinary trader will find his business prosperity increase as he develops a greater selfcontrol and equanimity, for people will always prefer to deal with a man whose demeanor is strongly equable.

　　鎮靜的人知道怎樣控制自己，也知道如何去適應與他人相處;反之，別人也會對他的人格魅力表示尊重，並會以他為榜樣，認為他是個可靠的人。一個人越是處變不驚，他的成就、影響力和號召力就越大。即使是一個普通商人，如果他遇事能夠很好地自我控制並鎮定自若，那麼他會發現自己的生意蒸蒸日上;因為人們總是更願意與一個舉止從容、沉著冷靜的人打交道。

　　The strong, calm man is always loved and revered. He is like a shadegiving tree in a thirsty land, or a sheltering rock in a storm. "Who does not love a tranquil heart, a sweettempered, balanced life?" It does not matter whether it rains or shines, or what changes come to those possessing these blessings, for they are always sweet, serene, and calm. That exquisite poise of character, which we call serenity is the last lesson of culture, the fruitage of the soul. It is precious as wisdom, more to be desired than gold — yea, than even fine gold. How insignificant mere money seeking looks in comparison with a serene life, a life that dwells in the ocean of truth, beneath the waves, beyond the reach of tempests, in the eternal calm!

　　堅強、冷靜的人總是會贏得人們的好感和敬意;他就像烈日下一棵濃蔭遮地的大樹，或是暴風雨中能夠遮風擋雨的巨巖。“誰不愛一顆安靜的心，一個溫和、平實的生命呢?”無論是狂風暴雨，還是紅曰當空，無論是天翻地覆，還是命運逆轉，一切都等閒視之，因為這樣的人永遠都是謙和、冷靜、沉著。那種我們稱之為泰然自若的平靜性格，是修養的最後一課，也是靈魂之花的碩果。它像智慧一樣寶貴，價值勝過黃金一是的，勝過足赤真金。與寧靜的生活相比，追逐名利的行為多麼不值一提，那是一種在真理的海洋中的生活，在驚濤駭浪之下，遠離暴風雨的侵擾，永遠存在於寧靜之中。

　　"How many people we know who sour their lives, who ruin all that is sweet and beautiful by explosive tempers, who destroy their poise of character, and make bad blood! It is a question whether the great majority of people do not ruin their lives and mar their happiness by lack of selfcontrol. How few people we meet in life who are well balanced, who have that exquisite poise which is characteristic of the finished character!"

　　“我們認識的許多人都把自己的生活搞得一片狼藉，他們的怒火破壞了所有美好的事物，同時也摧毀了自己安靜的生活，並遺禍後代!現在的問題是，大多數人是否因為缺乏自我控制能力而破壞了自己的生活，損毀了原有的幸福呢?在生活中，我們很少遇到能夠做到沉著冷靜、擁有成熟的性格所特有的那種平靜的人。”

　　Yes, humanity surges with uncontrolled passion, is tumultuous with ungoverned grief, is blown about by anxiety and doubt. Only the wise man, only he whose thoughts are controlled and purified, makes the winds and the storms of the soul obey him.

　　是的，人性因為無法控制的激情而躁動不安，因為放任無度的悲傷而起伏波動，因為焦慮和猜疑而備受打擊。只有睿智的人，只有控制並淨化了思想的人，才能在心靈的世界裡呼風喚雨。

　　Tempesttossed souls, wherever ye may be, under whatsoever conditions ye may live, know this in the o cean of life the isles of blessedness are smiling, and the sunny shore of your ideal awaits your coming. Keep your hand firmly upon the helm of thought. In the bark of your soul reclines the commanding master; he does but sleep; wake him. Selfcontrol is strength; right thought is mastery; calmness is power. Say unto your heart, "Peace, be still!"

　　經歷過暴風雨洗禮的人們，無論你們身在何方，無論你們處境如何，你們都要知道，在生活的海洋中，幸福的島嶼在對你微笑;照耀你理想的陽光就在前方。要牢牢握住思想之舵。在你的靈魂深處，有一個指引你方向的主宰者，他可能還在沉睡，喚醒他吧。自我控制是力量，正確的思想是優勢，沉著冷靜是能量。要時常對你的心靈說：“平和，安靜!”
