施瓦辛格演講

I went to college, I went and worked out five hours a day. And I was working on construction, because in those days in body-building, there was no money. I didn’t have the money for food supplementsor anything. So I had to go to work. So I worked in construction, I went to college and worked out in the gym. And at night from 8 o’clock at night to 12 midnight. I went to acting class four times a week. I did all that. There was not one single minute that I wasted. And this is why I am standing here today.

在大學里，我每天訓練五個小時。同時還在工地里干活，因為那時候做健美的根本沒有錢。我沒有錢去買食物或其它別的東西，我不得不去工作。我在工地里干活，去大學的健身房健身，從晚上八點一直到午夜十二點，每周還去上四次表演課。我做了所有的這些事情，沒有浪費任何一分鐘，這就是我今天能夠站在這里的原因。

At the age of 20 I went to London, and I won the Mr. Universe Contest as the youngest Mr. Universe ever and it was because I had a goal. You see, if you don't have a vision of where you go, and if you don't have a goal of where you go, you drift around and you never end up anywhere.

20歲的時候我去了倫敦,贏了宇宙先生的比賽，成為史上最年輕的宇宙先生。這是因為我一直有這樣一個目標。如果你對于自己要去向哪沒有任何想法，不知道自己的目標是什么，你將四處漂泊沒有終日。

74% of people hate their job in America. The majority of people don't like what they're doing, because they're really not doing it, because they didn't have a goal and then followed this goal. They're just aimlessly drift around and all of a sudden, there's a job opening, so they get their job because you have to work. But then when you work, it's a chore. It's work. It's not fun. So if you think about it, only a quarter of the people really enjoy what they're doing in life.

74%的美國人討厭他們的工作，大多數(shù)人并不喜歡他們正在做的事。因為他們根本不是真正地在“做”，因為他們沒有目標也沒有努力朝著它奮斗，他們只是毫無目的地漂泊。遇到一份現(xiàn)成的工作時，他們就拿到了一份工作僅僅是出于需要。但真的開始做時卻發(fā)現(xiàn)它只是乏味瑣事，只是工作，毫無趣味。所以你想想看，只有四分之一的人真正在生活中享受他們的工作啊。

So people always ask me, when they saw me in the gym in the pumping iron days, they say why is it that you're working out so hard, five hours a day six hours a day, and you have always a smile on your face? The others are working out just as hard as you do and theylook sour in the face, why is that？

人們經常問我,當他們看到我在健身房里沒日沒夜地健身時，他們問我為什么這么辛苦地鍛煉，一天五六個小時，臉上還一直掛著微笑？那些和你一樣辛苦的人，他們的臉上卻寫滿了痛苦，為什么會這樣？

I told people all the time, because to me, I am shooting for a goal. In front of me is the Mr. Universe title. So, every rep that I do gets me closer to accomplishing that goal. To make this goal this vision turn into reality. Every single set that I do, every repetition,everyweight that I lift, will get me a step closer to turn this goal into a reality.

我每次都這樣告訴他們，因為對我來說，我在追逐目標。在我面前的是宇宙先生的稱號，所以我做的每一次訓練都讓我離實現(xiàn)目標又近了一點，讓這個目標這個愿景變成現(xiàn)實。我每做的一組練習，我每舉起的一次重量，會使我離把目標轉化為現(xiàn)實又更近一步。

So, I couldn't wait to do another 500 pound squat; I couldn't wait to do another 500 pound bench press; I couldn't wait to do another 2,000reps of sit-ups; I couldn't wait for the next exercise. So let me tell you something. Visualizing your goal and going after it makes it fun. You got to have a purpose no matter what you do in life, you got to have the purpose.

所以我等不及想做下一次500磅的深蹲，我等不及想做下一次500磅的臥推，我等不及想做下一次2000個仰臥起坐，我等不及想開始下一次訓練。所以我告訴你，設想你的目標并且追尋它真的很有趣，你需要一個目標，無論你在生活中做什么，你必須要有一個目標。

Muhammad Ali worked his butt off. And I saw it first-hand. I remember that there was a sports writer in the gym. When he was working out doing sit-ups, he asked Ali: “How many sit-ups do you do?” And he said: “I don’t start counting until it hurts. Now think about that he doesn’t start counting his sit-ups until he feels pain. That’s when he starts counting. That is working hard. So you can’t get around the hard work, it doesn’t matter who it is. Work your ass off.

穆罕默德·阿里訓練時非常拼命，我親眼所見。我記得有一位體育記者在體育館里采訪他，當時阿里正在做仰臥起坐。他問阿里：“你要做多少個仰臥起坐？”阿里說：“直到開始疼，我才開始計數(shù)。”想想看，阿里感到疼痛才開始計數(shù)，那是才開始計數(shù)，這才叫作努力。所以你不能避開努力，不管你是誰，你都得努力。

There is no magic pill. There is no magic out there. You cannot get around. You have to work and work and work. Make sure of this. Make sure of that. All this stuff is work.

世界上沒有神奇的藥，沒有魔法。你不能回避，你必須努力努力再努力。確保所有這些，就是努力。

It drives me crazy when people say they don’t have enough time to go to the gym for 45 minutes a day and workout, or to do something for 45 minutes to an hour a day to improve if it is physically improve or if it is mentally improve. Imagine you read 1 hour a day about history. How much you would learn after 365 hours in one year. Think about if you study about the history of musicians, of composers, how much you would know. Imagine if you would work on the business, on some business that you want to develop, every day for an hour. Imagine how further along you would go and get.

讓我無法忍受的是有人說他的時間不夠，擠不出每天去健身房鍛煉的45分鐘，或者是任何為了提升自己所需要的每天45分鐘到一小時，不論是用了強健身體還是鍛煉思維。想象一下，如果你每天讀一小時的歷史書，一年365個小時你能學到多少知識。如果每天研究音樂家和作曲家的歷史，你能學到多少東西。想象一下，如果把時間用在經營自己想要發(fā)展的事業(yè)上，每天一小時，你能做出怎樣的成就。

So it drives me nuts because the people say “We don’t have the time”. We have 24 hours a day. We sleep 6 hours a day, so it gives you still 18 hours. There’s someone shaking their heads out there in front saying probably “I don’t sleep 6 hours. I sleep 8 hours.”Right? Well, just sleep faster. So we have 18 hours a day. The average person works around 8 to 10 hours. So let’s assume it’s 10 hours so we have 8 hours left. Then you travel around an hour a day, maybe 2 hours a day, so now you still have 6 hours left. Sowhat do you do with these 6 hours? To eat a little bit, schmooze a little bit, talk a little bit to peopleand all that stuff. But you can see how much time is available? If you organize your day,so you got to work hard.

所以我忍受不了人們說時間不夠。一天有24個小時，六個小時睡覺，我們還有18個小時。我看到有人搖頭，也許說：“我睡覺不是六個小時，是八個小時。”好吧，快點睡。所以，我們一天有18個小時。普通人工作十到十個小時，讓我們假設是十個小時，所以我們剩下八個小時。你每天通勤時間一小時，也許兩個小時，所以你還剩下六個小時。這六個小時你做什么？也許吃點東西，閑聊一會兒，和人們聊一聊。你能看到自己還有多少可用的時間。如果你安排你的一天，所以你必須努力。

I hate Plan B, and I tell you why. Because we have so many doubters, as I said earlier the no-sayers. We have so many of those people that say “no” and “you can't do it” “it's impossible”. That is ok, because we just turn off. As I said earlier, we listen we hear the “no” being a “yes”, “you can’t do it” to “you can do it” and all that. So that is possible to do that amongst all the negative people around you. But when you start doubting yourself, that's very dangerous, because now what you're basically saying is that if my plan doesn't work, I have a fallback plan, I have a plan B. And that means that you’re start thinking about Plan B. And every thought that you put into Plan B, you're taking away that thought and that energy from plan A.

我討厭備選計劃，因為我們身邊有太多持懷疑態(tài)度的人，我們身邊有太多的人會說“不”“你做不了的”“絕對不可能”的人。但如果你自己也懷疑自己時，那真的很危險。因為這基本上就等于在說如果我的計劃沒有成功，我還有一條退路，我還有一個備選計劃。這就意味著你已經開始想備選計劃。每當你開始想備選計劃，你就已經消耗了可以放在最優(yōu)計劃里的想法和能量。

And it's very important to understand that we function better if there is no safety net. Because Plan B becomes a safety net. It says that “if I fail then I fall and I get picked up and I have something else there that will protect me.” and that's not good. Because people perform better when there's no safety net. People perform better in sports and in everything else if you don't have a plan B.

重要的是，你必須明白沒有安全網時我們反而會表現(xiàn)得更好。備選計劃就是那張安全網，它在安慰你：“如果我失敗摔倒重新開始，還有可以保護我的東西。”這種想法并不好，因為如果沒有安全網，人們往往會做得更好。不論是運動領域還是其它事情上，人們沒有安全網時會表現(xiàn)得更好。

I'm telling you I've never ever had a plan B. I made a full commitment that I'm gonna be a body-building champion. I made a full commitment that I'm gonna be in America. I made a full commitment that I'm gonna get into show business and I'm going to be a leading man. No matter what it takes I will do the work. I will do the work over and over and over until I get it. And the same is in politics and everything like that. So, to me, it is very dangerous to have a plan B, because you're cutting yourself off from the chance of really succeeding.

我告訴你們我從來沒有過備選計劃。我竭盡全力去做健美冠軍；我竭盡全力留在美國；我竭盡全力進入演藝圈并成為領軍人物。無論代價是什么，我都會努力去做。我一次又一次地努力直到獲得成功。在政界也一樣，其它所有的事情都一樣。所以，對我來說有備選計劃是很危險的，因為它將會阻斷你獲得真正成功的機會。

And the reason, one of the main reasons why people want to have a plan B is because they are worried about failing. What if I fail then I don't have anything else? Well, let me tell you something. Don't be afraid of failing, because there's nothing wrong with failing, you have to fail in order to climb that ladder. There's no one that doesn't fail.

人們想要備選計劃的主要原因之一在于因為他們害怕失敗。萬一我失敗了一無所有怎么辦？那么，讓我告訴你，不要害怕失敗，因為失敗沒有錯。你必須失敗才能開始攀登成功的階梯，沒有人不失敗。

Michael Jordan said in one of his interviews when they said “you're unbelievable” “you the greatest basketball player of all times, I mean tell me about that.” and he says “well, you just mentioned the successes”, but he says “For me, to become the greatest basketball player, I missed 9,000 shots when I was playing basketball in the NBA games.” So, during thesegames that he was so successful, he missed 9000 shots. Does it make him a failure? No. He is one of the greatest basketball player of all times, but he failed 9,000 times! Do you get it? We all fail! It's okay.

邁克爾喬丹在一次采訪中，聽到自己被譽為“不可思議的”“有史以來最偉大的籃球運動員”時他說：“你只提到了成功”。他接著說“對我來說，成為最偉大的球員之前我在NBA球場上投丟了9000次。”所以，在這些屬于他的如此成功的球賽里，他投丟了9000次。這讓他失敗了嗎？不。他是有史以來最偉大的球員之一，但他失敗了9000次。你明白了嗎？我們都會失??！沒關系。

What is another case is when you fail you stay down, whoever stays down is a loser. Winners will fail and get up, fail and get up, fail and get up. You always get up, that is a winner.

另一種情況是當你失敗沉淪的時候，如果一直沉淪下去，你就是一個失敗者。成功的人會失敗但也會重新站起來，失敗再站起來，失敗再站起來。你一定會站起來，這才是成功的人。

I lost body-building competitions; I lost powerlifting competitions; I lost weightlifting competitions; I had movies that went in the toilet and that were terrible and got the worst reviews. And in politics I remember, I had many of the initiatives on the ballot. And we lost. My approval rating in California went down to 28%, then it went back up again. And I won again the governorship. Hey! We all lose! We all have losses! This is okay. And this is why I say don't be worried about losing, because when you're afraid of losing, then you get frozen, you get stiff you're not relaxed. In order to perform well in anything, if it's in boxing or if it is on your job or with your thinking, it is only happening when you relax.

我輸?shù)袅私∶辣荣?；我輸了力量舉重比賽；我輸了杠鈴舉重比賽；我有過失敗的電影，真的很糟糕，得到了最差的評價。我們都會失敗，我們都有很多失敗的經歷。沒關系，這就是為什么我說不要害怕失敗。因為你害怕失敗的時候，你就會畏縮不前，身體變得僵硬，無法放松。為了表現(xiàn)得很好，不論是在拳擊或是你的工作，或是在思考，成功只會發(fā)生在你放松的時候。

So, relax. It's okay to fail. Let’s just go all out and give it everything that you got! That's what it is all about, so, don't be afraid to fail!

所以，放松去做吧。失敗也沒關系，讓我們全力以赴，拼盡全力。這就是成功的真諦。不要害怕失?。?/p>
