《Succeed》翻译作业(17)
All the individuals I've mentioned have know extraordinary success.Many have overcome nearly insurmountable obstacles and adversity in order to achieve what they've achieved.Countless chilidren dream of one day becoming an award-winning artist or a powerful world leader.Very few actually do it .No one achieves that kind of success without possessing a lot of self-control.Achieveing even ordinary,garden-variety successes requires plenty of self-control.Think back to the achievement in you own life-the ones you are most proud of. I'll bet you needed to work hard,persist despite difficulty,and stay focused,when it would have been much earsier for you to just relax and not bother.You needed to avoid temptation,when it would have been more fun to give in.And you probably needed to be critical and honest with yourself, when it would have been far more pleasant to just let yourself believe that you were awesome and need no improvements.Each of those aspects of reaching a goal requires self-control .Undoubtedly,someone like President Obama is in possession of an extraordinary capacity for self-control .But the president has repeatedly quit smoking only to start up again.How can that make sense?
提到所有的个人领域的成功,那些克服了巨大的障碍而取得成功的人,无数的孩子梦想成为获奖的杰出的艺术家或是强力的世界的领导者 ,没有人能在没有一点自控力的情况下取得这种成功,即使是普通的成功也要求足够的自控力。回想一下你生活中那些引以为傲的成就,我敢打赌你需要努力工作,坚持不懈,保持专注。如果你只是为了放松而不去打扰的话,那就更早了。你要能避免被诱惑,当它变得有趣时。你可能还得对自己诚实,当你觉得自己很愉快不需要提高的时候。要达到目标的每一个方面都得有自控力。毫无疑问,象奥巴马总统这种人是有着非凡的自控力。但是他为什么戒不掉烟呢?这怎么说得通呢?
