See, when you change the way you look at things, the things your look at change. When you change the way you look at your life, your life will change.
你主宰你的生活， 我希望你能赢，希望你今夜能坐下来，如果你还没有起航，列出你的详细目标。看到了吗？当你改变看待事情的方式，你的生活就会改变。当你改变看待自己生活的方式，你的生活将会改变。Every day we have a choice when we wake up. We can focus on what’s wrong with our lives or we can focus on what’s right with our lives. You have to change the person in your mirror. You gotta have that moment like my friend Les Brown, the great motivator says. When you finally say “ I am sick and tired of being sick and tired!” “ I’ve had it” .每天我们起床时都有一个选择，我们可以把注意力集中在我们生活中的问题，或者我们可以专注于生活中好的一面。你需要改变镜子里 的那个人。你需要有这样一瞬间，就像我的一个朋友，伟大的激励者Les Brown 说的，我厌倦了这种虚弱和疲劳的状态。我受够了。Most people do the “ Someday I’m gonna”, “Someday I want to”, well that someday is today. Make that decision get clarity on what you want and take that action plan. Focusing on what’s right our lives rather than what’s wrong with our lives, it’s the best way to fix what’s wrong with our lives。You know, the people that have goals, that’s great.有些人总说“有一天我会”，“有一天我要”，好吧，那一天就是今天。做出决定，想清楚你要什么并做出计划，专注于生活中好的一面，而不是生活中的问题，这是解决影响生活中的问题的最好方式。那些有目标的人很优秀。You know, the people that have goals, this great. There is the type of people who have verbal goals or the type of people who have written goal. The key to achieving anything is to have a written goal with a precise date that you’re presently moving towards that’s the definition of success. You need to not look for others for permission to do you. You need to do you and just trust that will be okay. You need to be a game changer. You need to not ask for permission. You need to give notice. Most things in life that are worthwhile you gotta work at. You gotta work at, you get out what you put in. As simple as that. That’s a kind of a universal law.那些有目标的人很优秀。有人有口头上的目标，有人会把目标写下来。要做出一些成就的关键是要有一个写下来的目标，上面写着你完成目标的日期。你不需要获得别人的许可来成为你自己，并相信一切都会好。你需要改变游戏规则，你要的不是寻求许可，你要成为规律制定者，生活中大部分事情都值得去做，投入就有收获，非常简单。这是一种宇宙定律。80% of your success is determined by only 20% of your actions. If you’re staying the same, you might as well be going backward. Everyone else, Everything else is changing and evolving every day. So, what are you working on that make you better tomorrow. Then you were than you make up this morning. What new skills are you building? What strength are you improving? What’s next in your business or your career.你80%的成功是由你20%的行动所决定。如果你呆在原地，可能就是退步。每个人，时间万物，每天都在改变和进化。所以，你现在在做什么会让你的明天更美好。对比今天早上起床的时候，你在学习什么新技能？你的什么能力在提升?你的下一步要做什么?你的职业如何发展？The problem is no one ever teaches us, How to master ourselves, how to master our beliefs and our behaviors and our attitudes and our actions. And know how to line those two things up to meet and to direct us toward the desired outcomes in our lives. No one teaches us how to do that. It is the process that you need to go through that will afford your the transformation you desire in order to achieve the results and the accomplishment and the success you want in your life. 问题是没有人教我们，要如何掌控自己，如何处理好我们的信仰和举止、我们的态度和行动。也要明白如何想与做名得其所，并引导我们去追求生活中所期望的结果。没有人教我们要怎么做到，这是你所需要经历的历程，这样你就会得到你渴求的转变。为了实现目标和成果，以及生活中你期待的成功。You have to want to pay the price to win. And there’s always a price to be paid, when you’re going to win. Life is gonna be tough, you’re gonna have stress、anxiety、depression、anger. You’re gonna have financial difficulties, you’re gonna have marriage difficulties, you’re gonna have business difficulties. But you gotta get back up. You have to be willing to fail a hundred times to successed once. And if you’re not gonna do that man, you’re not gonna even get a fraction of what you’re looking for.你必须付出一定的代价才能赢,如果你想要赢的话，总要付出点什么，生活会很艰难。你会承受压力、焦虑、失落、愤怒。在人生的某些阶段你会财务困难，会面临婚姻难题，会有事业阻碍。但是你得重新站起来，你要乐于接受失败，历经一百次的失败换取一次成功，如果你不去做那个人，你就得不到一个你一直以来寻求的分数。①motivator[ˈmoʊtəveɪtər] n.操纵机构；操纵装置；（飞行器的）舵；操纵面；激励者

If you really wanna know the secret of success okay. I publish Success Magazine, I gonna tell your right now the secret to success. Here it is, success is earned by hard freaking work, hard freaking work. If you ask the circle of champions up here. How did you do it? How did you get to the top? How did you become so successful. Their answer are always going to be 3 words. Hard freaking work. There’s no other way around it. Don’t quit, Author unknown, Because everyday when things go wrong as they sometimes will. When the road that you’re trudging seems all uphill. When care is pressing you down a bit rest if you must but don’t you quit. Life is strange with its twist and turns. As every one of us sometimes learns.成功靠争取，如果你真的想知道成功的秘密，那好。我出版《成功杂志》，现在我就告诉你成功的秘密。就是这样，成功是靠拼命努力换来的，往死里拼命工作。如果你问那些冠军们，你是怎么做到的，你是如何达到巅峰的，为何你可以如此成功，他们的答案总是三个字“拼命干”，没有其他捷径，不要放弃。佚名，因为每当事情发展的不是一帆风顺时，当你似乎一直走在上坡路时，当忧虑压得你喘不过气时，短暂休息，决不放弃。我们每个人有时候会认识到生活是很奇怪的，我们每个人有时都会从中学到道理。If you don’t make the choice in your own life, then someone else is gonna end up making them for you, and it won’t be good, so it might be your boss, it might be a professor, it might be parents, it might be colleagues. Someone else, maybe a company, someone else is gonna start making choice for you, and they’re not gonna be as the choices you can make yourself. The reason why most people aren’t as successful as they could be is because they have not made a decision to take action on the things that they know how to do best. They have not taken the decision to commit to doing the simple things over and over again. That will separate them or distance them from everyone else. You see, most people don’t cross the finish line with their goals and their dreams, not because they don’t have the ability or the resources or the relationships. More often than that it’s because at some point they allow themselves not to be care more than normal and more than necessary.如果你不为自己的人生做选择，那么最终就是别人来为你做选择。对你没有好处，这个人可能是你老板，可能是你的教授，可能是你的父母，或者是同事，或者是一个公司，别人会开始为你选择，他们的选择比不上为你自己做的选择。大部分人不像他们原本似乎能做到的那样成功，是因为他们还没有决定在自己最拿手的事情上付诸行动，他们还没有下定决心去把简单的事情一遍一遍做到极致。如果能做到的话，他们就会与众不同。你瞧，大部分人不会带着他们的目标和梦想越过终点线。这不是因为他们没有能力或者缺少资源和人脉，更多是因为在某些关键节点上，他们放任自己不关心那些真正重要的事情。帮你记单词：
⑤congruent [ˈkɑːŋɡruənt] adj.全等的;叠合的;适合的;适当的;恰当的;相称的

Have you ever been in a situation where you just felt like you were at that opportunity and you were trying to figure out. If you were gonna move on in the night, you just got to a point to where things were getting confusing and things were going on and you just weren’t quite sure.
“Hey, should I go ahead and that opportunity or not.” Are you one of the people that see other people going around. You see other people being successful and doing some things. You are trying to figure out ‘Why come Is that,why isn’t that me , why isn’t that you. And if you ever wanted to,in your life make significant things happen and get tough things done if you ever had a life where you realize that You outward experiences and results currently in your life doesn’t actually match the potential you know that’s resting on the inside of you. Then, my friend, you need to know how to engage in the practice of self-mastery.你有没有遇到过这种情况，当你觉得拥有了一个机会，并且在晚上时尝试去想清楚，你是否会继续前行。你正好遇到一个让人苦恼的情况，时间在流逝，你还是不确定“嘿，我究竟应不应该抓住这个机会？”我是那种喜欢看别人行事的人吗？你看到别人成功有所作为，你也想弄明白“为什么会这样，为什么成功的不是我”。为什么不是你？如果你曾经想过，在你的人生中，创造价值完成挑战。如果你曾经有一刻意识到，目前你生活中的外在经历和成果，与你认知的内在潜力并不相符。那么朋友，你得知道，如何进行良好的自我控制。If you keep doing what you’re been doing you’re gonna keep getting what you’re been getting. If you don’t like where you are need to change the recipe. That is your life. You gotta change what you’re doing. You don’t get to the end of your life and say “Wow that’s accidentally occurred”. Most of the things that happened in your life are things you planted in the ground and they grew a harvest in your life. And if you don’t plant anything in your life—called your life, you know what grows weeds. You gotta take responsibility for where you’re at in your life. And go from there even if where you’re at isn’t your own fault. See, I understand bad things happen to people. You have poisonous people come into your life, that leave you in a bad situation. But you have to make the decision, that you’re gonna take responsibility right here, right now, today, and move and grow from there.如果你一直做一些同样的事情，那么你获得的东西也是一层不变的。如果你不喜欢自己现在的状态，你就需要改变方法，这就是人生。你必须改变自己正在做的事情，不要等到人生的尽头才说“哇，奇迹出现了”。大部分发生在你生活中的事情，都是你之前埋下的种子，然后你才能有所收获。如果你在自己的田野里没有任何耕耘，这个被称为人生的田野，就会长出野草。你要为自己现在的生活状态负责，即使你的过错由你的过错造成，你也要从那里开始继续前行。我知道人们会遭遇一些坏的事情，会有一些糟糕的人介入你的生活，这些都会让你处于逆境，但是你必须做出决定，你要承担起责任，此时此地，慢慢茁壮成长。Stop look for the quick fix for success, happiness and wealth. There is not shortcut, there’s no cliff notes, there’s no quick fix. You’re going to walk through a minefield, day in and day out of hard freaking work. Because success is earned one day at a time. Everyday you lift your head up off the pillow. You gonna decide whether that day you are a success or whether you are a failure. You’re either moving forward or you’re falling behind. If you’re accepted that where you are is where you are going to be, you’re already lost. And there’s no power in that. There’s no power in that, that’s like staying right here. You’re not popping the clutch, you’re not going forward.不要再寻找通往成功、幸福、财富的捷径，没有捷径，没有危险提示，没有应急措施。你要每天每夜艰苦工作来越过雷区。因为每天都可以获得一次成功。每天早上你从床上起身，你就要决定那天自己是成功者还是一个失败者，是在前进还是在落后于人。如果你满足于现状，那么你就失败了。毫无动力，毫无动力。这就像呆在原地，你不会松开汽车离合器，你也无法驶向远方。⑥significant [sɪɡˈnɪfɪkənt] adj.有重大意义的;显著的;有某种意义的;别有含义的;意味深长的
sign记号 + i 连字符 + fic 做 + ant 形容词后缀 → 有意义的
含有词根sign的单词有：design、resign、assign、signify……
It is significant that girls generally do better in examinations than boys.
很明显，女生的考试成绩一般比男生的好。
⑦engage [ɪnˈɡeɪdʒ] v.吸引住(注意力、兴趣);雇用;聘用;与…建立密切关系;尽力理解，同源词有：wage、wedding、mortgage……
en 进入，使 + gage 承诺 —— 承诺——吸引、雇佣、参加
mortgage [ˈmɔːrɡɪdʒ] n.按揭(由银行等提供房产抵押借款);按揭贷款 v.(向银行等)抵押(房产)
mort 死亡 + gage 承诺 —— 以死亡为保证的贷款——按揭贷款
词源：在古代西方，家庭中的长子在法律上拥有继承父亲遗产的权利。如果长子需要一大笔钱，而又无法从其父亲那里获得，他往往会找其他人借款。而其他人之所以愿意借钱给他，看中的是他的长子继承权，相信他将来继承遗产后可以偿还债务。借钱的时候，借款人会立下誓言，等他父亲去世，他继承遗产后就会偿还债务及其利息。这就是英语单词mortgage的来源。mortgage由mort和gage组成，mort表示“死亡”，gage表示“誓言、保证”，所以mortgage一词的字面含义就是“死亡保证”，即以其父亲的死亡（等于遗产）为保证的贷款。来源：钱博士英语
⑧recipe[ˈresəpi] n.烹饪法;食谱;方法;秘诀;诀窍
re 往回 + cip 抓住 + e 名词后缀 —— 往回抓 —— 处方、食谱
词源：古代西方医生在开处方时，第一个字通常是拉丁语recipe，意思是take（服用），后来缩写为Rx，并且R的最后一笔和x的第一笔重合。学过西医的中国医生在开处方时也是这样写的，不信可以翻开自己看病时医生开的处方单看看。因此，单词recipe在英语中原本表示“处方”，到了17世纪时逐渐用来表示“食谱”，更常用prescription来表示“处方”。不过，从医生处方的第一个字上依然能看出recipe的初始含义。来源：钱博士英语
