超勵志演講：當你覺得生活很艱難時，一定要記住這番話！

Life is hard.  

See it’s hard when you are 49 years old

been working on a job for 17 years 

and they come in and tell you 

you're finished and give you one week’s severance pay

and you got to start all over again.

人生很艱難，尤其當你已經49歲了，在一家公司服務了17年，然后他們走過來告訴你說：你結束了。然后給你一周的遣散費。你只能從頭再來。

It's hard when you are married and raising children 

and your children are crawling 

and your husband dies unexpectedly.

It's hard handling just the tragedies of life 

It's hard when you're working on something in 

and you put everything you have in it 

and it doesn’t work out

You lose your moneyand other people's money.

人生艱難，當你結婚了有了孩子，當你的孩子還在學習爬行，你的丈夫卻驟然離世。要應付人生中的各種悲劇真的很難。人生艱難，尤其當你在做某件事情時，你傾盡全力去完成它，但終究還是失敗了，你賠上了所有的錢還有別人的錢。

It's hard it was rough when I lost my job 

and I could not find a job.

It was humiliating and embarrassing 

borrowing money and then I couldn't pay the money back 

when I told them I would.

That's rough how people look at you

how they respond to you

It's very hard. It's humiliated.

真的很難。當我失去工作的時候生活很艱難。我找不到工作，我感到羞恥和難為情。當我跟別人借錢時，盡管我告訴他們我會準時還錢，最后卻無力償還。真的很難，別人怎么看待你,他們怎樣對待你。真的很難渡過。我覺得很羞恥。

Here's what I discovered

that happens to you in life

that you will go through things

and while you're going through them

you can't understand why it's happened to you

but after you go through it

and you get back and you look at it and you say oh

now I understand why I needed that lesson

Have you ever had it happened to you?

Raise your hand, and did it ever happen to you?

that I couldn't understand it there

but after I got through it then I saw that

that was prepared me for bigger and better things.

這是我對人生遭遇的啟發。你會經歷一些事，當你在經歷這些事時，你不理解為什么這些事會發生在你身上。唯有當你渡過低潮之后，當你回頭審視這些事時，你說：哦，我明白了上天為什么要讓我得到這個教訓。你們有經歷過嗎？舉起手，如果你曾經發生在你身上。我那時無法理解，當我經歷過，我明白了，這是為了讓我準備好，去迎接人生更大的責任和更美好的事情。

As you go through the challenges of life

and you look at it and embrace whatever comes to you

don't run from it,step toward it.

Don't try and duck it like most people do.

See most people want it easy

See if you easy come, easy what? easy go. 

See but when you go at what you're going to deal with

and you deal with the difficulties of it

when you handle those hot things close at hand

making those hard decisions right now

that you don't wanna make.

Learning those things that you don't like to do

but you know that in order for you to get where you wanna go

this is one of the hoops that you have to flip through.

當你正經歷人生中的挑戰時，你要面對它，擁抱它，無論是什么難關，不要逃避，勇敢面對它。別試圖躲避，就像大多數人一樣。你發現了嗎？大多數人只想面對容易的事情，來得容易去得也快。當你去面對應該面對的事情，去應付所遇到的難題時，著手去處理眼前的這些困難，做出讓你不安的堅難決定，學習那些你不喜歡做的事情。但你心里清楚，為了達到你想要完成的目標，這是其中一個你必須要跨越的障礙。

And I'm saying to you whatever you gotta do, do it

because if you don't,life is gonna whoop you

until you surrender and say okay all right, all right, all right

I’ll cooperate. Okay I’ll learn. okay

They had wear me out a long time.

So I’ve been taught then do it hard.

Now, what do you how do you hang in there, during the hard difficult times.

You must have faith. You've got to believe in yourself.

You've got to believe in your abilities.

You've got to believe in your service, your company,your ideas, unquestionably.

You've got to have faith

and that faith gives you patience

that is not going to happen as quickly as you want it to happen.

A lot of things are gonna happen that will catch you off guard.

and so therefore you've got to deal with and handle it as it comes

And not only that

but that faith and patience drives you into action.

You've got to keep moving and keep plugging away

讓我告訴你吧，無論你想做什么，就去做吧，因為如果你不做，生活將把你逼到墻角，直到你認輸。說：好的，夠了，夠了，我知道了，我現在就去學習，行了吧！人生折磨了我好久，我已經學會怎么去面對困境，現在你是怎么撐過去的呢？你一定要有信念。你一定要相信你自己。你一定要相信你自己的能力。你一定要相信你的服務，你的公司，你的想法，毫無置疑地相信。你一定要有堅定的信念，信念會給予你耐心。當事情并沒有如你預期般很快地發生，很多事情在你毫無防備的情況下發生，你只好去面對它們，處理它們，不只是這樣，這份信念和耐心會給予你行動力，你必須得持續前進。

In the Far East

they have something that's called the Chinese bamboo tree.

The Chinese bamboo tree takes five years to grow.

They have to water and fertilize the ground where it is every day

and it doesn't break through the ground until the fifth year.

Okay? But once it breaks through the ground within five weeks it grows 90 feet tall.

Now the question is: Does it grow 90 feet tall in five weeks？or five years？

The answer is obvious. It grows 90 feet tall in five years.

Because at any time that person stopped

watering and nurturing and fertilizing that tree

that bamboo tree would have died in the ground.

And I can see people coming out talking to a guy

out there watering and fertilizing the ground

that's not showing anything.

“Hey, what you doing?

you've been out here a long time, man.

and the conversation in the neighborhood is

you grow on a Chinese bamboo tree, that right?

Yeah that's right

Well um even Ray Charles and Steve Wonder can see ain't nothing showing

在遙遠的東方，有一種東西叫做竹子。竹子需要五年的時間成長，需要每天澆水和施肥，但是要等到第五年，它才會破土而出。了解嗎？但是當它從泥土里長出來之后，在五周的時間里，它會長到90英尺高。問題是它用了多久長到90英尺高？是五周嗎？還是五年？答案是顯而易見的，它用了五年時間長到了90英尺高。因為在任何時候，只要種植者停止澆灌栽培，停止施肥，這竹子就沒機會從泥土里長出來。我可以相象那些人跟種植者之間的對話?？粗刻煜蛑嗤翝菜┓?，卻什么也長不出來?！焙?，你在那干嘛呢？你已經在這里很久了，” 那些鄰居跟他的對話是：聽說你在種中國的竹子，是嗎？“是??！沒錯！”“嗯，連瞎子都看得出這里什么也沒有吧”

You know that's not people gonna do you

so how long you've been working on this？

how long have you been working on your dream？

and you have nothing to show.

This is all you've got to show?

People gonna do that to you.

And some people, ladies and gentlemen, they stop

because they don't see instant results

it doesn't happen quickly they stop

oh no no no you got to keep on watering your dream.

and when it begin to happen，they stop laughing they said

Look，whoa look here, it’s, lookup

Hey man, you know, I know you could do it

Look,you got a job here?

你懂得有些人就會這樣對你。你在這件事情上努力了多久？你在你的夢想上努力了多久？你還沒做出成績。難道你就只有這一點點的成績？別人就會這樣對待你。各位女士們先生們，有些人就這樣放棄了，因為他們看不到立竿見影的成果，還沒有看到成績，他們就放棄了。哦，不，不，不！你得向你的夢想澆水灌溉啊。當開始看到成績時，他們就停止嘲笑你了，他們開始說：看，哇，看看這是誰？兄弟，我就知道你肯定能做到。你這里還要請人嗎？

See during those hard times

we didn’t know how you're gonna make payroll

During those times, when you fail and things didn't work out

they were nowhere to be found.

You know what I discovered

when you’re working at your dream

somebody said: the harder the better,the sweeter the victory.

Oh, it's sweet to you. It's good to you. Why？

See when you when it's hard and there's a struggle

see what you become in a process is more important than the dream.

That's far more important

The kind of person you become

the character that you build

the courage that you develop

the faith that you're manifesting

oh it's something that you get up in the morning

you look yourself in the mirror

you’re a different kind of person

you walk with a different kind of spirit.

people know that you know what life is,

that you have embraced life.

You know it was hard, but you did it hard.

在經歷難關的時候，沒有人知道你是怎么給員工付薪資的。在堅難的時候，當你經歷失敗的時候，這些人連影子都看不到。你知道我發現了什么？當你正在為夢想努力的時候，有人說：越難越好，成功將越甜美。這對你來說是甜美的，對你是很好的，為什么？當你在克服困難的時候，你在這過程中成為什么樣的人，比你完成夢想更重要。遠遠更加重要。你成為什么樣的人，你塑造出的個性，你建立起來的勇氣，你展示出來的信念。就像是當你早上醒來，看著鏡子里的自己，你已經脫胎換骨，展現出來的是不一樣的精神。別人知道，你知道什么是人生，你接受了人生，你知道這不容易，但你還是克服了，
