成功没有捷径,唯有努力前行

Kenneth Love English 2 2022-12-23

You know how many people here want to be a millionaire? Do you know how rare that is? Have you run the math? You have this enormous audacity yet you’re not putting in the work to get you there, because you think somehow you’ve been tricked by yourself or somebody else, but there’s some system, that there’s some fucking shortcut. There no fucking shortcut. You’ve got to put in the work lots of it. And that comes at the expense of golfing all the time, and that comes at the expense of going to every good damn event, and definitely comes at the expense of watching one more motivational video and three more books.


很多人想成为百万富翁,这并不罕见。你计算过了吗?你如此大胆。然而,你并没有付之于行动,因为在某种程度上你在自我欺骗,被你自己或其他人,这一定有窍门,一定有捷径。没有捷径可走,你必须付出大量的努力,这是以你的休闲时光为代价的。这是以牺牲每一个美好的事情为代价的,而且这肯定是以观看一段激励视频,或者多看3本书为代价的。

You have to do, doing is the game. The world is shifting faster than it ever has before, but the way to win is as old as time. Do the right thing and put in the fucking work. It isnt hack or a one change that you meed to make. There is no other way around this, you have to do the work. There is no choice, there is only one road to be a damn winner. There aint no shortcuts, theres one way you freaking do it, its sweat, its blood, its tears. Theres no discount, there are no shortcut to success. Stop thinking they are, and stop wanting people to put you somewhere that you didnt earn. Nobody gave me this, I earned it.Everybody says how did you crack the code? I grinded my way through the code, that’s how I cracked it. It’s hard work and dedication every single day.



你必须行动起来,行动就是游戏,世界比以往变化的都要快。赢的方法就跟时间一样古老,做正确的事,努力奋斗。这并不需要一个机会或者一个转变,并没有躲过它的捷径。你必须做这项工作,你没有选择,想要成功只有一条路,没有捷径。不要扯犊子,只有唯一的方法,就是汗水与血泪。没有折扣,成功没有捷径。停止幻想,不要以为你不努力就有人会把你推倒那个位置。没人给我一切,我自己赢得一切。每个人都在问怎么破解密码,我承受痛苦来破解成功密码,它需要每一天的努力奋斗和献身精神。

There are costs affixed to my dedication. Having a six pack of abs requires putting in time for sit ups. And the cost of having abs means they will bot be widespread adoption. Because most people dont want to put in the time, it requires for you to look like that. They envy your results, but theyre not jealous of your process. Youre not willing to put in the work, that it takes for me able to occupy this level of excellence. I refused to bring myself down to dodgems of average. Why? Cause I work too hard. You aint gonna wreck in one moment what it look me time to build. Stop looking for a shortcut and go find you discipline and you drive and you will, then, you will find your freedom.


我的奉献是有代价的,拥有6块腹肌,你需要多做仰卧起坐。腹肌的代价意味着大部分人不会去做,大多数人都不想花费时间在这上面,但它要求你必须这样做。他们嫉妒你的成绩,但是他们不羡慕你成功的过程。你并不想花费和我一样的时间和精力来让自己变得如此优秀。我并不想把我自己拉低到平均水平。为什么?因为我工作太辛苦了!你不会毁掉我花时间建立起来的一时一刻。不要寻找捷径,你要变得自律,坚守意志,然后你会获得自由。
