Usually, it’s not too difficult to decide what you want your life to look like in a year from now. What is difficult is figuring out what you’re willing to give up in order to do the things that must be done to get to where you want to go.

通常一年内的目标并不难决定，难的是为了实现目标而甘心作出放弃。

This takes serious commitment, and it requires transient discomfort. When you decide to aim for something higher, you must be willing to suffer a bit of vertigo – the fear of falling. And you must be willing to fight against that voice of emptiness below you which tempts and lures you to believe that you don’t have enough strength to ascend any higher.

你需要全力以赴，还得忍受暂时的苦痛。目标越高，担心失败的困扰也越多。而你则必须战胜内心那个不断引诱你的消极思维，说什么你根本没有足够的能力更上一层楼。

4. The little victories of each day.

每天胜利一点点。

Sometimes the human mind operates in mysterious ways when it comes to achievements and happiness. We dream of something and we wait and wait and feel like it’s taking forever to arrive. Then it does and it’s over, and all we really want is to curl back up in that moment before things change again.

有时成功和幸福来得太突然，唬得人们猝手不及：我们是那么渴望，等了又等，总以为成功还遥遥无期，然而它却瞬间昙花般出现了，于是我们惊愕，满心期望一切能再演绎一次。
