人生轻松前行：我们应该抛在脑后的10个想法

To be successful, you have to be a little unrealistic. You have to believe that something totally different than what has happened for an eternity can happen. Think about it. Being realistic doesn’t change anything; being unrealistic does. Doesn’t it seem a bit unrealistic to be able to walk into a dark space, hit a switch, and instantly fill the entire space with light? Fortunately Thomas Edison didn’t think so.
要想成功，你还得变得有点不现实。你必须相信，世界上总有和永远存在发生的现状完全不同的事物。仔细想想。变得现实不会改变一切，但不现实却可以。在黑暗空间里行走，碰一下开关，瞬间就会点亮整个空间——是不是显得有些不现实？还好爱迪生不这么认为。

7. “I wish.”
我希望。

The best thing you can do for yourself is to stop saying “I wish,” start saying “I will,” and then go do something about it. The world isn’t going to dominate itself. You just have to wake up one morning and decide that you don’t want to feel like this anymore, ever again. And then make a change, just like that.
你能为自己做的最棒的事情就是停止说“我希望”，而开始说“我将要”，然后采取行动。世界无法自我主宰，你需要在某天早晨醒来告诉自己：你再也不想要这样下去了。然后开始改变，就是这样。

8. “It’s too late.”
一切都太晚了。

Believing it’s too late is the end of your journey; believing in yourself is an endless destination. Trust yourself. Break the rules. Don’t be afraid to fail. Ignore those who doubt you. Work your butt off. And be sure to give something back before you’re done.
你若相信“太晚了”，你的成功之路也就终止了。相信自己才会使未来之路变得无限可能。信赖自己，打破条条框框，不要畏惧失败。藐视那些怀疑你的人，排除杂念，还要确保你在到达目的地之前给予一些回馈。

9. “I can’t.”
我做不到。

Nobody is going to blindside you and hit you as hard as life will. Sometimes life will beat you to the ground, and keep you there if you let it. But it’s not about how hard life can hit you; it’s about how hard you can be hit while continuing to move forward. That’s what true strength is. And that’s what winning the game of life is all about.
生活会打击你，使你攻其不备挫败连连，这就是生活。有时候生活将会把你击败到谷底，如果你听之任之，你就永远只能在谷底。关键不在于生活多么猛烈的打击，而在于你在这猛烈打击之后还能奋然前进，这才是真正的力量。这也是成功人生的全部。

10. “This situation couldn’t get any worse.”
情况不能更糟了。

Nothing is good or bad, as thinking makes it so. Be determined to be cheerful and happy in whatever situation you may find yourself. For you will eventually learn that the greater part of your happiness or unhappiness is determined not by your specific circumstances, but by your disposition and perspective.
凡事没有好坏，一切在于你的态度。无论身处什么处境，你都应该坚定地保持开心愉悦。因为最后，你会懂得你绝大部分的开心或郁闷不是取决于你所处的某个具体环境，而在于看待事物的态度。
