　　為何失敗比成功重要

　　As an entrepreneur of ten years I've learned all too well what failure feels like. The perpetual wheel of reinventing myself has been the only constant in my life. Ups and downs, highs and lows; the roller coaster of perceived failure can be exhausting.

　　作為一名創業十年的企業家，我太明白失敗的滋味了。不斷地重塑自我是我人生唯一不變的主題。那些起起落落，風風雨雨，失敗的體驗像過山車一般，讓人精疲力盡。

　　Success happens when we go outside our comfort zone, stretch ourselves beyond recognized limits and experience new people, places and things. Success happens outside "normal", and the only way to reach it is to walk though failure without losing your enthusiasm.

　　成功的前提是，我們要走出舒適區，把雙手伸往未知，去感受新的人、新的地方、新的事物。成功需要一些不平凡，而唯一達到它的方式就是走過失敗卻不失熱情。

　　Success and failure are symbiotic-without one the other is not possible. So whatever your perceived failure is right now embrace it. Maybe you're experiencing failure for the first time, or maybe you're sitting by me in the roller coaster of ups and downs. No matter the number of failures in your tally box, know that each failure is simply a message that says, "Congratulations, you're living life!" Then take a deep breath and get ready to walk through your next failure knowing you've already achieved success.

　　成功與失敗是共生的，沒有其中之一，另一個也不復存在。所以無論你正經歷著怎樣的失敗，去接受它吧。也許這是你人生第一次嚐到失敗之苦，或者也許你和我一樣已經經歷了大起大落。無論這是第幾次失敗，你必須明白，每一次失敗都在向你傳遞：“恭喜呀，這才是人生!”。然後你深呼吸，昂首闊步地為下一次做好準備，而內心深處卻明白自己已經邁向了成功。

　　三件小事讓你做個晨型人

　　In years past, you couldn't talk to me before 10:00 in the morning, much less expect me to get anything useful done. And the weekends? Forget it. If the time had "a.m." attached to the end of it, you'd better believe I was face-down in a pillow. Nowadays, however, despite my best efforts I cannot sleep past 8. I'm mentally forming my to-do list before I even open my eyes. I find that my best writing is done within the first few hours after I wake up, and my go-getter mentality has dimmed into a quieter energy come late afternoon.

　　過去，在上午10點之前你根本就不可能和我說上話，更不可能希望我完成什麼有意義的事。週末?算了吧。如果時間安排後面標註著“上午”，你最好相信我正抱頭大睡。但是，現在呢，一過早晨8點鐘我就怎麼也睡不著了。甚至在睜眼之前，我就已經開始在大腦中列數今天要做的事項清單了。我發現我最好的文章都是在剛醒來的最初幾個小時內寫就的，而傍晚時分我的勤奮精進會化作一種更為安靜的能量。

　　So what's my secret?

　　那麼，我的祕訣是什麼呢?

　　1. For starters, night time prep is half the battle.

　　首先，晚間準備是成功的一半

　　A few minutes at night to set up the coffee pot, lay out an outfit, and get your lunch together for the following day can be a godsend come sun-up.

　　晚上拿出幾分鐘時間設定好咖啡壺，收拾好一套衣服，準備好第二天的午餐，你會感到早晨如有神助。

　　2. Set two alarms.

　　設兩個鬧鐘。

　　The first one is gentle, within reach and set for five minutes before you really need it. This soothingsound will slowly wake you up. The second one should be louder, placed across the room and set for the time you actually need to get up.

　　第一個鬧鐘比較柔和，在你夠得著的範圍內，設定在你真正想起床的5分鐘之前，溫柔的鈴音會慢慢將你喚醒。第二個鬧鐘聲音要大一些，放在房間另一端，設定成你真正需要起床的時間。

　　3. Do something that is genuinely, authentically YOU.

　　真正為你自己做些事。

　　Give yourself a little "me" time before the hustle begins. Enjoy your coffee slowly. Take a walk or do 10 minutes of yoga. If you walk out the door with peace in your heart, you'll carry it with you throughout the day.

　　在繁忙的一天開始之前，給自己一點“自我”時間，慢慢地享用一杯咖啡，散個步，或者做10分鐘瑜伽。如果你在出門時心情平靜，那麼一整天都會如此。

　　If you generally thrive in the evening hours, don't push yourself too hard to go against nature. Lean into your afternoon energy but use these tips to help you embrace those tough mornings with a bit more grace. In time you might find yourself transition into a "morning person" after all!

　　如果你通常都是在晚上才能精力旺盛，也不要逼自己太緊而違背天性。繼續利用好下午的好精力，但是可以運用這些小貼士來幫助你在擁抱痛苦的清晨時更從容一點。假以時日，你可能就會發現自己最終轉變成“晨型人”了!

　　從內心深處問問自己?改變你生命的四個問題

　　If you're seeking to reshape your life, reflect on the answers to these four questions to increase your awareness, expand your mindset, and change your outlook:

　　想要重塑你的人生，想一想這四個問題，提升認知水平、衝破思維邊界、改變世界觀。

　　What thoughts do you keep thinking?

　　你一直在思考的是什麼?

　　If fear is the first element that's sparked in your brain, you will act on that fear and hesitate, unable to make sound, firm decisions. Visualize a different circumstance or scenario, one that's more in your favor.

　　如果你腦海裡閃現的是恐懼，你便會對害怕作出迴應、會躑躅猶豫，無法堅定明智地做選擇。

　　To whom are you listening?

　　你聽誰的話?

　　Your best guidance will radiate from within. When in doubt, introspect: Are my choices satisfactory to me or to someone else? What do I honestly want to do?

　　最佳的嚮導便是內心的自然流露。疑心時分，要自省。我的選擇於我有利還是於人有利?我內心想做的究竟是什麼?

　　What is your first reaction?

　　你的第一反應是?

　　Have faith that regardless of what has happened, you will come out of it better than before. This allows you to reach a resolution to whatever problem may be at hand.

　　要相信，無論發生什麼，你都可以安然挺過，結果會比以往都好。這讓你可以下定決心解決眼前的一切困難。

　　How do you regard others?

　　你怎麼看待他人?

　　The more that you continue being a good, genuine person, the more you will be able to forgive those who have wronged you and find the right sort of company.

　　你越是堅持真誠友善待人，就越容易原諒傷害你、誤會你的人，還能找到志同道合的夥伴。
