Here are some Walt Disney lessons in making your dreams come true, courtesy of the master of imagination, dreaming, and achievement himself.
下面的这些华特·迪士尼的人生课能让你的梦想成真，让你成为想象力和梦想的大师，并有所成就。

1. Dream Big
尽情梦想

“If you can dream it, you can do it.”- Walt Disney
“如果你能梦想，那么你就能做到。”——华特·迪士尼

What if money, time, looks, and gender were no object? What would your biggest dream be? Often we short-change ourselves. We listen to others’ put-downs, and internalize them. It’s hard to remember our dreams. Harder still, to imagine that we could achieve a dream. Take Walt Disney’s words to heart. Start dreaming. Then believe that you can achieve your dream.
如果金钱、时间、外貌、性别都不成问题，那你最大的梦想是什么？我们经常欺骗自己。我们听别人说那些贬低人的话，并让它们成为自己性格的一部分，我们很难想起自己的梦想。更难的是去想象我们可以实现梦想。把华特·迪士尼先生的话记在心里。开始梦想，相信你可以实现自己的梦想。

2. Be Courageous
勇敢起来

“All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.”- Walt Disney
“如果我们有勇气去追求梦想，那么我们所有的梦想都会成真。”——华特·迪士尼

It takes courage to step outside your comfort zone. However, achieving your dreams always means that you’re doing things you’ve never done before. Practice being courageous. Today, do something you haven’t done before. Propose a new project to your boss. Send your crush some flowers. Being courageous doesn’t mean that you’re unafraid. It means acting in spite of your fear.
要想走出舒适区，必须需要勇气。不管怎样，实现梦想都意味着你要做以前没做过的事情。练习一下，让自己勇敢起来。今天，做做你以前没做过的事情：向你的老板提议一个新的项目，给你喜欢的人送些花儿。勇敢起来并不是说你无所畏惧，它指的是尽管害怕也依然去做。

3. Be Yourself
做你自己

“The more you like yourself, the less you are like anyone else, which makes you unique.”- Walt Disney
“你越喜欢自己，你就越不会把自己和别人相似，这会让你独一无二。”——华特·迪士尼

We all wear masks. We try to be what we think people want us to be. We try to emulate role models. What if you were just yourself? Discovering who you are underneath all the masks is challenging. It’s hard to be authentic if you’re not sure who you are. Just for today, do what pleases you. Say what you mean, rather than saying what you think someone wants to hear. However, be appropriate—being “like yourself” isn’t a license to be outrageous, or to say hurtful things.
我们每个人都戴着面具，我们试着去成为别人想让我们成为的样子，我们试着去模仿榜样。如果你就是你自己呢？找出面具下面的真我是富于挑战性的。如果你不确定自己是谁，那很难做真实的自己。说出你想表达的意思，而不是你认为别人想听的话。但不管怎样，也要恰当。——“喜欢自己” 并不表示要语出惊人，或说些伤人心的话语。

4. Stop Talking. Start Doing
停止交谈，开始实干。

“The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.”- Walt Disney
“开始的方法就是停止交谈并开始实干。”——华特·迪士尼

You’re dreaming big. You’re inspired. You tell everyone about your dream. Stop! Keep it to yourself. Work quietly towards your dream. You don’t need validation from anyone, nor do you need permission. Be authentic, and do something today, which will help you to achieve your dream.
你在尽情地梦想。你受到了鼓舞。你把梦想告诉了大家。停！只要自己知道就行。悄悄地朝着梦想努力。你不必需要别人的认可，你也不需要别人的准许。做真实的自己，今天就做些事情，这会帮你实现梦想。

5. Embrace Competition
拥抱竞争

“I have been up against tough competition all my life. I wouldn’t know how to get along without it.”- Walt Disney
“我一生都在不断地面临着严峻的竞争。我不知道没有竞争该如何是好。”——华特·迪士尼

Competition is essential to help you to achieve your dreams. If there were no competition, you’d have nothing against which to measure yourself. Competition makes you better and stronger than you might otherwise be. In business, competition fosters innovation. If you’re uncomfortable with competition, or envious of competitors, ask yourself why. Then do the best you can.
竞争是帮你实现梦想的必要条件。如果没有竞争，那你就没什么东西来衡量自己。竞争会让你变得更好、更强大。在业务方面，竞争可以促进创新。如果你不喜欢竞争，或羡慕竞争对手，那你该想想原因。然后尽你最大的努力。
