So you want to outcompete people who are smarter, better looking and more experienced than you?
这么说你想要战胜那些比你更聪明，长得更好看，更加世故的人？
No problem!
没问题！
All you have to do is outwork them.
你要做的就是比他们更努力。
Will Smith said, "if we both get on a treadmill either you're going to get off first or I'm going to die trying."
威尔史密斯说：“如果我们都踏上跑步机跑步，要么是你先下来，要么是我死在坚持的过程中。”
Most people just aren't willing to work that hard. Sure, they'll show up for the job interview and maybe practice in front of the mirror for a few minutes, but they won't do hours and hours of research and prepare for weeks. They won't wake up early and stay up late working on their dreams.
大多数人并不愿意如此艰辛的去坚持。当然，他们可能会在镜子面前联系几分钟然后就出现在工作面试中，但他们不会花上几个星期反复不断地去寻找去准备。他们做不到为了梦想而早起晚睡。
So while all those smart, good-looking, experienced people are waiting around for the next opportunity to come their way, you can outwork them and create your own opportunities.
所以当那些聪明、好看、又世故的人在等待下一个机遇出现在他们面前的时候，你可以超越他们创造你自己的机遇。
In a few years, you'll be that "smart" person everyone looks up to. But you'll be different. You'll know it was your hard work, your inner strength and your commitment to living a great life that made you successful and brilliant - not luck or good genes.
几年之内，你就会成为那个大家认为的“聪明”人。但你却与众不同。只有你自己了解是你的勤奋、你的心智力量和你的对于未来美好生活的憧憬才成就了你的成功与才华，而不是幸运或者基因。
