在你追逐梦想前会听到的十句谎言

Here are ten ill-advised tips (lies) people will likely tell you when you decide to pursue your dreams and the reasons why they are dreadfully mistaken:
在你追求梦想的道路上，总有一些身边关心你的人给你些欠考虑的小意见（其实就是谎言），他们其实都错得离谱！

1.You can follow your dreams someday, but right now you need to buckle down and be responsible.
总有一天你可以追逐自己的梦想，不过现在你需要认真对待生活负起责任来。

Someday? When is “someday”? “Someday” is not a day at all. Today is the only day guaranteed to you. Today is the only day you can begin to make a difference in your life. Don’t wait until “someday.” Make today the first day of the rest of your new life.
总有一天？总有一天是什么时候？它根本不算一天。今天才是你唯一能保证的，你只有今天，从今天开始为你的生活做出些改变，别等到“总有一天”，让今天成为你下半辈子新生活的第一天。

2.You’re totally screwed if it doesn’t work out.
要是梦想实现不了，你可就完蛋了。

Wrong! This is a giant, lame load of BS. You’re not even close to being screwed. In fact, the worst case scenario is that things don’t work out and you have to go back to doing exactly what you are doing right now.
错！这句话完全是拖后腿的洗脑，你才不会完蛋呢！事实上，最坏的结果也只是你没有实现梦想，然后只能回来接着做你现在正在做的事，如此而已。

3.It’s safer to stay at your day job.
还是继续日常工作吧，这样比较安全。

Sure, I suppose. But you know what’s 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 doesn’t always mean better.
当然，我也这么想，不过你知道还有什么是更安全的么？回家去，把自己锁进卧室，再也别出来。就这样，把自己的整个人生和梦想一起从马桶冲走吧。要记住，更安全并不代表更好。

4.That’s impossible!
不可能会实现！

It’s only impossible if you never do anything about it. The reason certain things seem impossible is simply because nobody has achieved them yet. If you truly dedicate yourself to an end result, almost anything is possible. You just have to want it bad enough.
你什么都不做才真的不可能。有些事情看起来不可能，只是因为还没人成功过而已。要是你真的努力投入想要个最终结果，那一切皆有可能，只要你真的非常想要。

5.Only a lucky few “make it.”
只有少数够幸运的家伙才能“做到”。

That’s 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. It’s up to you, and only you.
那是因为这些幸运儿真的行动了为了实现梦想做了些事情！他们有动力，有决心，有毅力，这些你现在都有。你也可以成为被幸运女神眷顾的一员，一切都由你决定，只有靠自己。
