當(dāng)你想要去追逐你夢想的時候，總有一些人會對你說一些話，但是你要分清哪些話是真的有用，哪些話是謊言……

不幸的是，有些時候正當(dāng)你要邁出你追逐夢想的第一步的時候，你身邊的人，甚至是一位十分在乎你的人也許會給你一些糟糕的意見。其實不是因為他們對你有惡意，是因為他們不了解你的宏圖——你的夢想，激情，人生目標(biāo)對你來說的意義。他們不了解，對你來說，最好的獎勵就是值得冒險的經(jīng)歷。
So they try to protect you by shielding you from the possibility of failure, which, in effect, also shields you from the possibility of making your dreams a reality.
所以他們試圖想要保護你而減少你失敗的可能性，實際上，他們也在減少你使夢想成真的可能性。
As our friend Steve Jobs says:
就想我們的朋友Steve Jobs（蘋果公司CEO）說的：

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice, heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
你的時間是有限的，不要浪費在別人身上，不要被教條主義束縛，也就是不要活在別人的思想下，不要讓別人的意見影響你自己內(nèi)心的聲音，心靈，和直覺。他們怎么可能知道你本身在想什么，除了自己以外，其他的一切都是次要的。
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:
這里有十條沒腦筋的建議（謊話）和他們被誤解的原因，這些都是當(dāng)你決定要追逐你夢想的時候，人們最可能告訴你的。
1. You can follow your dreams someday, but right now you need to buckle down and be responsible.
1.你可以以后再去追逐你的夢想，但是現(xiàn)在你必須鉚足勁并且負(fù)責(zé)任。
Someday? When is ”someday”? “Someday” is not a day at all. It’s a foggy generalization of a time that will likely never come. Today is the only day guaranteed to you. Today is the only day you can begin to make a difference in your life. And pursuing your dreams is what life is all about. So don’t be irresponsible. Don’t wait until “someday.” Make today the first day of the rest of your new life.
以后？以后是什么時候？“以后”根本就不是一天。它是一種籠統(tǒng)的時間概念，而且可能永遠(yuǎn)都不會出現(xiàn)。對你來說，今天才是你唯一需要保證的一天。今天是唯一一天能讓你的生活開始不一樣。并且追逐夢想就像你的生活一樣，所以不要對你的生活不負(fù)責(zé)任。不要等“以后”的到來。讓今天成為你以后新生活的第一天。

2. You’re totally screwed if it doesn’t work out.
2.如果你無法成功就會徹底失敗。
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.
錯！大錯特錯！一點都不符合英國標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。你甚至都沒有封閉自己使自己失敗。實際上，最壞的情況不就是事情沒有成功，而且你必須回到你現(xiàn)在正在做的事情上去。
3. It’s safer to stay at your day job.
3.保持你現(xiàn)在的工作更不冒險
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.
我料想也對。但是你要知道，什么比保持現(xiàn)在的工作更不冒險？那就是回家，把自己反鎖在房間里，然后永遠(yuǎn)不要出來。就像這樣。你將會把你的整個人生和夢想沖進廁所里。記住，不冒險并不意味著更好。

4. That’s impossible!
4.那是不可能的
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. But this doesn’t mean that with your help these things won’t become possible in the future. If you truly dedicate yourself to an end result, almost anything is possible. You just have to want it bad enough.
如果你從來不去做一件事，才會不可能成功。一件事情看上去不可能實際上只是因為沒有人成功的做到過。但是這并不代表，未來在你的努力下，也無法成功。

5. Only a lucky few “make it.”
5.只有少數(shù)的幸運兒才能成功
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.
那是因為那些少數(shù)的幸運兒背著你們做了許多努力。他們有他們的方向，目的和決心，就想你現(xiàn)在有的一樣。你也可以成為他們之中的一員，完全取決于你，而且只有你。

6. You might fail. And failing is bad.
6.你有可能會輸，并且會輸?shù)暮軕K。
Failures are simply stepping stones to success. No matter how it turns out, it always ends up just the way it should be. Either you succeed or you learn something: win–win. The biggest mistake you can make is doing nothing because you’re too scared to make a mistake. If you can’t handle failure, then you can’t handle success either.
失敗是成功之母。不管結(jié)果怎么樣，事情只是會以它自己的本身的趨勢結(jié)束。不管你是成功或者你能從中學(xué)到一些東西：雙贏。你會犯的最大的錯誤就是你害怕失敗還什么都不去做。如果你不能駕馭失敗，那你也無法駕馭成功。
7. You don’t have access to the right resources.
7.你沒有通往成功的捷徑
It’s not about having the right resources; it’s about exploiting the resources you do have access to. Stevie Wonder couldn’t see, so he exploited his sense of hearing into a passion for music, and he now has twenty-five Grammy Awards to prove it. Get it?
這不是關(guān)于如何找到正確的方向，而且關(guān)于怎么去探索你要的方向。Steve Wonder是個盲人，所以他找到了他對音樂的熱情，而且他現(xiàn)在有25個格萊米大獎來證明這個，懂了么？

8. You need more money saved before you can take the first step.
8.在你踏出第一步錢你需要節(jié)省
You don’t need more money. You need a plan. You need a budget. Eliminate ALL the nonessential costs in your life. If pursuing your dream requires you to leave your day job, figure out the absolute minimum amount of income that you realistically require to live. Studying those who have succeeded with similar ventures also helps. But above all, take baby steps. Don’t be foolish and assume that you must have a certain amount of money saved right now, or that you must quit your day job today in order to pursue your dreams. Instead, ask yourself, “What actions can I take right now with the money and resources I have right now that will bring me closer to desired goal?”
你需要的不是更多的前，而是一個計劃，你需要一個預(yù)算。減除你生活中一切不必要的開支。如果你追逐你的夢想要求你離開現(xiàn)在的工作的話，算出你實際生活需要的收入最小值。學(xué)習(xí)那些和你有同樣經(jīng)歷的成功人士也許會有幫助。但是以上的這些都需要你踏出第一步，現(xiàn)在不要愚蠢的猜測你必須節(jié)省出一個確定數(shù)目的金額，或者你必須放棄你現(xiàn)在的工作去追逐你的夢想?；蛘吣憧梢詥柲阕约?，“我現(xiàn)在用這些錢能做什么而且我現(xiàn)在所擁有怎樣讓我更加接近我心中的目標(biāo)”
9. You don’t need any help. It’s smarter to go after it alone.
9.你不需要任何幫助，獨自追逐夢想更明智。
You are the sum of the people you spend the most time with. If you hang with the wrong people, they will negatively affect you. But if you hang with the right people, you will be far more capable and powerful than you ever could have been alone. Find your tribe and work together to make a difference in all of your lives.
你和你自己待在一起的時候最多。近朱者赤，近墨者黑。找到自己的同類，并且和他們一起努力，讓自己的生活開始有個新的開始。

10. That sounds like a lot of hard work.
10.這聽起來好像有很多困難
You’re darn right it does! But that doesn’t mean it’s not worth it. I think success in life hinges on one key point: finding hard work you love doing. As long as you remain true to yourself and follow your own interests, values, and dreams, you can find success through passion. Perhaps most importantly, you won’t wake up a few years from now working in a career field you despise, wondering, How the heck am I going to do this for the next thirty years? So if you catch yourself working hard and loving every minute of it, don’t stop. You’re onto something big. Because hard work ain’t hard when you concentrate on your passions and dreams.
你做的就是對的。但是這并不代表不值得，我認(rèn)為成功取決于一個關(guān)鍵：找到你喜歡做的，只要你對自己保持真心，并且跟從你自己的興趣，價值觀和夢想，你可以通過你自己的熱情找到成功之路?？赡茏钪匾氖?，你不要再未來的某一天醒悟過來你現(xiàn)在做的事情是你自己都會嗤之以鼻的。我怎么會在以后的30年都做這件事呢？如果你發(fā)現(xiàn)你自己開始做你自己喜歡的事情，并且享受其中的每一分鐘，那就不要停。你在玩成一件大事。如果你專心在自己的熱情和夢想，艱苦的工作也就不苦了。
Disregard these misguided bits of nonsense and you’ll be well on your way to fulfilling your dreams. Now get out there and make a splash!
忽視這些愚蠢的行徑和話語，你會在你追逐夢想的道路上做的很好。那現(xiàn)在就逃離去大作一番。
