羊皮卷之一：新生 The scroll marked one：To begin a new life

今天，我开始新的生活。Today I begin a new life.

今天，我爬出满是失败创伤的老茧。 Today I shed my old skin which hath,too long ,suffered the bruises of failure and the wounds of mediocrity.

今天，我重生在智慧的葡萄园中，园内的智慧之果任我享用。

Today I am born anew and my birthplace is a vineyard where there is fruit for all.

今天，我要采撷最珍贵、最高级的果实，其中的智慧历经千载由无数的智者累积而成。

Today I will pluck grapes of wisdom from the tallest and fullest vines in the vineyard, for these were planted by the wisest of my profession who have come before me, generation upon generation.

今天，我要品尝成功之果的美味，我要吞下一粒粒成功的种子，我要让新生命在心底萌芽。

Today I will savor the taste of grapes from these vines and verily I will swallow the seed of success buried in each and new life will sprout within me.

我选择的道路充满机遇，也有辛酸与绝望。失败的同伴数不胜数，叠在一起，比金字塔还高。

The career I have chosen is laden with opportunity yet it is fraught with heartbreak and despair and the bodies of those who have failed, were they piled one atop another , would cast a shadow down upon all the pyramids of the earth .

然而，我不会像他们一样失败，因为我掌握着成功的图谱，我会越过波涛汹涌的大海，抵达梦中的彼岸。

Yet I will not fail, as the others, for in my hands I now hold the charts which will guide through perilous water to shores which only yesterday seemed but a dream.

我奋斗，但我不会再失败！人不是为痛苦和失败而生的，我珍贵的生命将永远与失败和痛苦划清界限！我拒绝消沉！我要在成功法则的指引下，告别从前的阴影，步入富足、优秀、快乐的天地，我的收获将大大超出我以往的梦想。

Failure no longer will be my payment for struggle . Just as nature made no provision for my body to tolerate pain neither has it made any provision for my life to suffer failure. Failure,like pain, is alien to my life. In the past I accepted it as I accepted pain. Now I reject it and I am prepared for wisdom and principles which will guide me out of the shadows into the sunlight of wealth, position, and happiness far beyond my most extravagant dreams until even the golden apples in the garden of Hesperides will seem no more than my just reward.

我不能长生不老，不能到老才明白一切。所以，在有限的人生里，我必须坚韧，像大自然一样从容不迫。

Time teaches all things to him who lives forever but I have not the luxury of etemity. Yet within my allotted time I must practice the art of patience for nature acts never in haste. To create the olive, king of all trees, a hundred years is required. An onion plant is old in nine weeks. I have lived as an onion plant. It has not pleased me. Now I wouldst become the greatest of olive trees and , in truth, the greatest of salesman.

那么怎样行动呢？我尚缺乏成为顶尖人物的知识和经验，还一度跌入愚昧与自怜的泥沼。答案很简单：我不会让所谓的知识或者经验妨碍我的行程。造物主已经赐予我足够的知识和本能，这份天赋使其它生物望尘莫及，也使得经验黯然失色。

And how will this be accomplished? For I have neither the knowledge nor the experience to achieve the greatness and already I have stumbled in ignorance and fallen into pools of self-pity . The answer is simple. I will commence my journey unencumbered with either the weight of unnecessary knowledge or the handicap of meaningless experience. Nature already has supplied me with knowledge and instinct far greater than any beast in the forest and the value of experience is overrated, usually by old men who nod wisely and speak stupidly .

经验确实能教会我们，但它也在吞噬我们的大好时光。不能等待了，经验会随着时间的消逝而贬值，经验丰富的人也往往余生无多。经验好比时尚，以往的成功行动今后不一定有效。

In truth, experience teaches thoroughly yet her course of instruction devours men’s years so the value of her lessons diminishes with the time necessary to acquire her special wisdom. The end finds it wasted on dead men.,furthermore, experience is comparable to fashion,and action that proved successful today will be unworkable and impractical tomorrow.

只有法则是持久的，而我现在正掌握了这些法则。这些可以指引我走向成功的原则全写在这几张羊皮卷里，它们会教我如何避免失败，而不只是获得成功，因为成功更是一种精神状态，人们对成功见仁见智，但对失败却往往只有一种解释：失败是一个人没能达到他的人生目标。

Only principles endure are these I now possess, for the laws that will lead me to greatness are contained in the words of these scrolls. What they will teach me is more to prevent failure than to gain success, for what is success other than a state of mind！Which two, among a thousand wise men, will define success in the same words; yet failure is always described but one way. Failure is man’s inability to reach his goals in life, whatever they may be.

事实上，成功与失败的最大分野，来自不同的习惯，好习惯是所有成功的秘诀，坏习惯则是向失败敞开的大门。因此我首先要遵循的法则便是养成良好的习惯，并竭尽全力地去实行。

In truth, the only difference between those who have failed and those who have successed lies in the difference of their habits. Good habits are the key to all seccuss. Bad habits are the unlocked door to failure. Thus ,the first law I will obey, which precedeth all others is –I will form good habits and become their slave.

我不会像孩童一样感情用事；我要做成熟的男子汉，用良好的习惯代替一时的冲动！我的自由意志曾经屈服于多年养成的旧习。我的行为受到欲望、暴怒、偏见、贪婪、情爱、恐惧、环境和习惯的影响，其中作用最大的就是习惯。因此，我要彻底戒除坏习惯，让我受好习惯的支配，我要在新的田地播种好的种子。

As a child I was slave to my impulses; now I am slave to my habits, as are all grwon men. I have surrendered my free will to the years of accumulated habits and past deeds of my life have already marked out a path which threatens to imprison my future. My actions are ruled by appetite, passion, prejudice, greed, love , fear, environment, habit, and the worst of these tyrants is habits . My bad habits must be destroyed and new furrows prepared for good seed.

我要养成良好的习惯，并竭尽全力去实行。

I will form good habits and become their slave.

这不是轻而易举的事情，但凭借这些羊皮卷就能做到！因为每一卷里都写着一个原则，可以摒除一项坏习惯，换取一个好习惯，这些好习惯会使我走向成功。这也是自然法则之一：只有一种习惯才能抑制另一种习惯。所以，为了走好我选择的道路，我必须养成的第一个习惯是：

And how will I accomplish this difficult feat? through these scrollls, it will be done, for each scroll contains a principle which will drive a bad habit from my life and replace it with one which bring me closer to success. For it is another of nature’s laws that only a habit can subdue another habit. So, in order for these written words to perform their chosen task, I must discipline myself with the first of my new habits which is as follows:

每张羊皮卷用三十天的时间阅读，然后再进入下一卷。

I will read each scroll for thirty days in this prescribed manner, before I proceed to the next scroll.

清晨即起，默默诵读；午饭之后，再次默读；夜晚睡前，高声朗读。

First, I will read the words in silence when I arise. Then , I will read the words in silence after I have partaken of my medday meal. Last, I will read the words again just before I retire at days’s end. And most important, on this occasion , I will read the words aloud.

第二天的情形完全一样。我就这样重复三十天，再打开下一卷。每一卷我都依照同样的方法读上三十天，久而久之，阅读就成为我的一种好习惯了。

On the next day I will repeat this procedure, and I will continue in like manner for thirty days. Then, I will turn to the next scroll and repeat this procedure for another thirty days. I will continue in this manner until I have lived with each scroll for thirty days and my reading has become habit.

这些习惯有什么好处呢？这里隐含着人类成功的秘诀。当我每天重复这些话的时候，它们成了我精神活动的一部分，更重要的是它们渗入我的心灵，那是个神秘的世界，永不静止，创造梦境，在不知不觉中影响我的行为。

And what will be accomplished with this habit? Herein lies the hidden secret of all man’s accomplishments. As I repeat the words daily they will soon become a part of my active mind, but more important, they will also seep into my other mind, that mysterious source which never sleeps, which creates my dreams, and often makes me act in ways I do not comprehend.

当这些羊皮卷上的文字，被我神秘的心灵吸收之后，我的潜力会被唤醒，每天都会精力充沛。我更有活力更有热情，向世界挑战的渴望会克服一切恐惧与不安！在这个充满争斗和悲伤的世界里，我竟然比以前更快活。

As the words of these scrolls are consumd by my mysterious mind I will begin to awake, each morning with vitality I have never known before. My vigor will increase, my enthusiasm will rise, my desire to meet the would will overcome every fear I once knew at sunrise, and I will be happier than I ever believed it possible to be in this world of strife and sorrow.

最后，我会发现自己有了应付一切情况的办法。不久，这些办法就能运用自如。因为任何方法，只要多练习，就会变得简单易行.

Eventually , I will find myself reacting to all situations which confront me as I was commanded in the scrolls to react, ans soon these actions and reactions will become easy to perform, for any act with practice becomes easy.

经过多次重复，一种看似复杂的行为就变得轻而易举，实行起来，就会有无限的乐趣；有乐趣，人就更愿意去实行。我会坚持奉行，养成好习惯，这是我的誓愿。

Thus a new and good habit is born, for when an act becomes easy through constant repetiton it becomes a pleasure to perform and if it is a pleasure to perform it is man’s nature to perform it often. When I perform it often it becomes a habit and I become its slave and since it is a good habit this is my will.

今天，我开始新的生活。

Today I begin a new life.

我郑重发誓，任何事情都不会妨碍我新生命的成长！我绝不浪费时间，因为时光一去不返,无法弥补；我绝不打破每天阅读的习惯。我每天都要花费一点时间培养好习惯，以换取日后的快乐和成功。

And I make a solemn oath to myself that nothing will retard my new life’s growth . I will lose not a day from these readings for that day cannot be retrieved nor can I subsitute another for it. I must not , I will not, break this habit of daily reading from these scrolls and, in truth, the few moments spent each day on this new habit are but a small price to pay for the happiness and success that will be mine .

我要反复阅读羊皮卷，深深体味其中的精华。成功的智慧代代相传，来之不易，经过过滤和淘汰，只剩下纯正的、永恒的真理，它们就浓缩在我要阅读的文字中。我要依照指示，全部吸收，吞下成功的种子。

As I read and reread the words in the scrolls to follow, never will I allow the brevity of each scroll nor the simplicity of its words to cause me to treat the scroll’s message lightly. Thousands of grapes are pressed to fill one jar with wine, and the grapeskin and pulp are tossed to the birds. So it is with these grapes of wisdom from the ages. Much has been filtered and tossed to the wind. Only the pure truth lies distilled in the words to come. I will drink as instructed and insturcted and spill not a drop . And the seed of success I will swallow.

今天，我的过去已化为尘埃。我昂首阔步，不再是众人眼中的那个旧我！我获得了新生，拥有了崭新的生命！

Today my old skin has become as dust. I will walk tall among men and they will know me not, for today I am a new man, with a new life.

今天，我开始新的生活，要让新生命在心底茁壮成长。我要握着成功的图谱，越过波涛汹涌的大海，抵达梦中的彼岸。不能再等待了，我要奋斗，但我不会再失败！我珍贵的生命将永远与失败、痛苦、懒散、懦弱、低级和消沉划清界限！好习惯是所有成功的秘诀，我要养成良好的习惯，并竭尽全力地去实行。我要做成熟的男子汉，用良好的习惯代替平庸的行为！那就是，每张羊皮卷用三十天的时间阅读，清晨即起，默默诵读；午饭之后，再次默读；夜晚睡前，高声朗读。让诵读并遵循这些法则成为我的一种好习惯，它们融入我的血液，在我的潜意识里决定着我的行为。

这样，我的潜力会被唤醒，每天都会精力充沛。我更有活力更有热情，向世界挑战的渴望克服了一切消极、恐惧与不安！在这个充满争斗和悲伤的世界里，我竟然比以前更快活。

我郑重发誓，任何事情都不会妨碍我新生命的成长！我绝不浪费时间，因为时光一去不返,无法弥补；我绝不打破每天阅读的习惯。

今天，过去的我早已化为尘埃。我昂首阔步，不再是众人眼中的那个旧我！我获得了新生，拥有了崭新的生命！
羊皮卷之二：爱心 The csroll marked two：love in my heart

我要用全身心的爱来迎接今天。I will greet this day with love in my heart.

因为，这是一切成功的最大秘密。强力能够劈开盾牌，甚至毁灭生命；但是只有爱才具有无与伦比的力量，使人们敞开心扉。在掌握了爱的艺术之前，我只是一个庸人。我要让爱成为我最大的武器，没有人能抵挡它的威力。

For this is the greatest secret of success in all ventures. Muscle can split a shield and even destroy life but only the unseen power of love can open the hearts of men and until in master this art I will remain no more than a peddler in the market place. I will make love my greatest weapon and none on whom I call can defend against its force..

我的理论，他们也许反对；我的言谈，他们也许怀疑；我的穿着，他们也许不赞成；我的长相，他们也许不喜欢；甚至我的让步都可能使他们将信将疑；然而我的爱心一定能温暖他们，就像太阳的光芒能溶化冰冷的冻土。

My reasoning they may counter, my speech they may disturst; my apparel they may disappove; my face they may reject; and even my bargains may cause them suspicion ; yet my love will melt all hearts liken to the sun whose rays soften the coldest clay.

我要用全身心的爱来迎接今天。

I will greet this day with love in my heart.

我该怎样做呢？从今往后，我对一切都要满怀爱心，我也以此能获得新生。我爱太阳，它温暖我的身体；我爱雨水，它洗净我的灵魂；我爱光明，它为我指引道路；我也爱黑夜，它让我看到星辰；我迎接快乐，它使我心胸开阔；我忍受悲伤，它升华我的灵魂；我接受报酬。因为我为此付出过汗水；我不怕困难，因为它们给我挑战。

And how will I do this? Henceforth will I look on all things with love and I will be born again. I will love the sun for it warms my bones; yet I will love the rain for it cleanses my spirit. I will love the light for it shows me the way; yet I will love the darkness for it shows me the stars. I will welcome happiness for it enlarges my heart; yet I will endure sadness for it opens my soul. I will acknowledge rewards for they are my due; yet I will welcome obstacles for they are my challenge.

我要用全身心的爱来迎接今天。

I will greet this day with love in my heart. .

我该怎样讲话呢？我赞美敌人，敌人于是成为朋友；我鼓励朋友，朋友于是成为手足。我要经常寻找理由来赞美别人，绝不搬弄是非，道人长短。想要批评人时，咬住舌头，想要赞美人时，高声表达。飞鸟，清风，海浪，自然界的万物不都在用美妙动听的歌声赞美造物主吗？我也要用同样的歌声赞美她的儿女。从今往后，我要记住这个秘密。它将改变我的生活。

And how will I speak? I will laud my enemies and they will become friends; I will encourgae my friends and they will become brothers. Always will I dig for reasons to applaud; never will I scratch for excuses to gossip. When I am tempted to criticize I will bite on my tongue; When I am moved to paraise I will shout from the roofs. Is it not so that birds, the wind, the sea and all nature speaks with the music of praise for their creator? Cannot I speak with the same music to his children? Henceforth will I remember this secret and it will change my life.

我要用全身心的爱来迎接今天。I will greet this day with love in my heart

我该怎样行动呢？我要爱每个人的言谈举止，因为人人都有值得钦佩的地方。我要用爱摧毁困住人们心灵的、充满怀疑与仇恨高墙，我要用爱心铺一座通向人们心灵的桥梁。

And how will I act? I will love all manners of men for each has qualities to admired even though they be hidden. With love I will tear down the wall of suspicion and hate which they have built round their hearts and in its place will I build bridges so that my love may enter their souls.

我爱雄心勃勃的人，他们使我倍受鼓舞；我爱失败者，他们给我教训；我爱伟人，因为他们也是凡人；我爱谦恭之人，因为他们非凡；我爱富人，因为他们孤独；我爱穷人，因为穷人太多了；我爱少年，因为他们拥有真诚；我爱长者，因为他们有智慧；我爱美丽的人，因为他们眼中流露着凄迷；我爱容貌丑陋的人，因为他们有颗宁静的心。

I will love the ambitious for they can inspire me! I will love the failure for they can teach me. I will love the kings for they are but human; I will love the meek for they are divine. I will love the rich for they are yet lonely; I will love the poor for they are so many . I will love the young for the faith they hold. I will love the beautiful for their eyes of sadness; I will love the ugly for their souls of peace.

我要用全身心的爱来迎接今天。

I will greet this day with love in my heart.

我该怎样与相处呢？用爱心。爱是我打开人们心扉的钥匙，也是我抵挡仇恨之箭与愤怒之矛的盾牌。爱使挫折变得如春雨般温和，它是我人生的护身符：孤独时，给我支持；绝望时，使我振作；狂喜时，让我平静。这种爱心会一天天加强，越来越有保护力，直到有一天,我可以自然地面对芸芸众生，处之泰然。

But how will I react to the actions of others? With love . For just as love is my weapon to open the hearts of men. Love is also my shield to repulse the arrows of hate and the spears of anger. Adversity and discouragement will beat against my new shield and become as the softest of rains .My shield will protect me in the market place and sustain me when I am alone. It will uplift me in moments of despair yet it will calm me in time of exultation. It will become stronger and more protective with use until one day I will cast it aside and walk unencumbered among all manners of men and ,when I do, my name will be raise high on the pyramid of life.

我要用全身心的爱来迎接今天。

I will greet this day with love in my heart.

我该怎样面对遇到的每一个人呢？只有一种办法，我要在心里默默地为他祝福。这无言的爱会闪现在我的眼神里，流露在我的眉宇间，让我嘴角挂上微笑，在我的声音里响起共鸣。在这无声的悲悯中，他的心扉向我敞开，他会感知我的爱心而不再拒绝我。

And how will I confront each whom I meet? In only one way. In silence and to myfelf I will address him and say I love you . Though spoken in silence these words will shine in my eyes, unwrinkle my brow, bring a smile to my lips, and echo in my voice; and his heart will be opened. And who is there who will say nay to my goods when his heart feels my love?

我要用全身心的爱来迎接今天。

I will greet this day with love in my heart.

最主要的，我要爱自己。只有这样，我才会认真检查进入我的身体、思想、精神、头脑、灵魂、心怀的一切东西。我绝不放纵生理的需求，我要用清洁与节制来珍惜我的身体。我绝不让头脑受到邪恶与绝望的引诱，我要用智慧和知识使之升华。我绝不让灵魂陷入自满的状态，我要用沉思和祈祷来滋润它。我绝不让胸怀狭窄，我要与人分享爱，使爱成长并温暖整个世界。

And most of all, I will love myself. For when I do I will zealously inspect all things which enter my body, my mind, my soul, and my heart. Never will I overindulge the requests of my flesh rather I will cherish my body with cleanliness and moderation. Never will I allow my mind to be attracted to evil and despair, rather I will uplift it with the knowledge and wisdom of the ages. Never will I allow my soul to become complacent and satisfied, rather I will feed it with meditation and prayer. Never will I allow my heart to become small and bitter I will share it and it will grow and warm the earth.

我要用全身心的爱来迎接今天。

I will greet this day with love in my heart.

今后，我要爱所有的人。今后，我将没有时间去恨，只有时间去爱，仇恨将从我头脑中消失。现在，我迈出了成功的第一步。有了爱，我将事半功倍，实现宏图。爱心能够弥补我的缺陷，引导我走向成功；如果没有爱，即使博学多识，也终将失败。

Henceforth will I love all mankind. From this moment all hate is left from my veins for I have no time to hate, only time to love. From this moment, I take the first step required to become a man among men. With love I will increase my sales a hundredfold and become a great saleman. If I have no qualities I can succeed with love alone. Without it I will fail though I possess all the knowledge and skills of the world.

我要用全身心的爱来迎接今天。

I will greet this day with love in my heart.

我用全身心的爱来迎接今天。我赞美敌人。 我在心里默默地为每一个人祝福。我爱自己，我用清洁与节制来珍惜我的身体，我用智慧和知识充实我的头脑。

 

羊皮卷之三：坚持 The scroll marked three：to persist

坚持不懈，直到成功。I will persist until I succeed..

在古老的东方，挑选用于格斗的小公牛时，它们被带进场地，向手持长矛的斗牛士攻击，裁判以它受到攻击后再向斗牛士进攻的次数多寡来评定这只公牛的勇敢程度。从今往后，我须承认，我的生命每天都在接受类似的考验，如果坚韧不拔，勇往直前，迎接挑战，那么我一定会成功。

In the orient young bulls are tested for the fight arena in a certain manner. Each is brought to the ring and allowed to attack a picador who pricks them with a lance. The bravery of each bull is then rated with care according to the number of times he demonstrates his willingness to charge in spite of the blade. Henceforth will I recognize that each day I am tested by life in like manner. If I continue to try, if I continue to charge forward, I wil succeed.

坚持不懈，直到成功。

I will persist until I succeed.

我不是为了失败才来到这个世界上的，我的血管里也没有流动着失败的血液。我不是任人鞭打的羔羊，我是猛狮，不人云亦云，不与羊群为伍。我不想听失意者的哭泣，抱怨者的牢骚，因为这是羊群中的瘟疫，我不能被它传染。失败者的屠宰场不是我命运的归宿。

I was not delivered unto this world in defeat, nor does failure course in my veins. I am not a sheep waiting to be prodded by my shepherd . I am lion and I refuse to talk , to walk , to sleep with the sheep. I will hear not those who weep and complain, for their disease is contagious. Let them join the sheep. The slaughterhouse of failure is not my destiny.

坚持不懈，直到成功。

I will persist until I succeed.

生命的奖赏远在旅途终点，而非起点附近。我不知道要走多少步才能达到目标。踏过千步，仍然可能失败，但成功往往就藏在下一段路中；除非柳暗花明，我永远不知道离成功还有多远。再前进一步，如果没有用，就再向前一步。事实上，每次进步一点点并不太难。

The prizes of life are at the end of each journey, not near the beginning, and it is not given to me to know how many steps are necessary in order to reach my goal. Failure I may still encounter at the thousandth step, yet success hides behind the next bend in the road. Never will I know how close it lies unless I turn the corner. Always will I take another step. If that is of no avail I will take another, and yet another . In truth, one step at a time is not too difficult.

坚持不懈，直到成功。

I will persist until I succeed.

从今往后，我承认每天的奋斗就像对参天大树的一次砍击,头几刀可能了无痕迹。每一击看似微不足道，然而，累积起来，巨树终会倒下。这恰如我今天的努力。就像冲洗高山的雨滴，吞噬猛虎的蚂蚁，照亮大地的星辰，建起金字塔的奴隶，我也要一砖一瓦地建造起自己的城堡，因为我深知水滴石穿的道理，只要持之以恒，什么都可以做到．

Henceforth, I will consider each day’s effort as but one blow of my blade against a mighty oak. The first blow may cause not a tremor in the wood, nor the second, nor the third. Each bowl, of itself, may be trifling, and seem of no consequence. Yet from childish swipes the oak eventually tumble. So it will be with my efforts of today. I will be liken to the rain drop which washes away the mountain; the ant who devours a tiger, the star which brightens the earth; the slave who builds a pyramid. I will build my castle one brick at a time for I know that small attempts, repeated, will complete any undertaking.

坚持不懈，直到成功。

I will persist until I succeed.

我绝不考虑失败，我的字典里不再有放弃，不可能、办不到、没法子、成问题、失败、行不通、没希望、退缩…这类愚蠢的字眼。我要避免绝望，一旦受到它的威胁，立即想方设法向它挑战。我要辛勤耕耘，忍受苦楚。我放眼未来，勇往直前，不再理会脚下的障碍。我坚信，沙漠尽头必是绿洲。

I will never consider defeat and I will remove from my vocabulary such words and phrases as quit, cannot, unable, impossible, out of the question, improbable, failure, unworkable, hopeless, and retreat; for they are the words of fools. I will avoid despair but if this disease of the mind should infect me then I will work on in despair. I will toil and I will endure. I will ignore the obstacles at my feet and keep mine eyes on the goals above my head, for it know that where dry desert ends, green grass grows.

坚持不懈，直到成功。

I will persist until I succeed.

我要牢牢记住古老的均衡法则，鼓励自己坚持下去，因为每一次的失败都会增加下一次成功的机会。这一次的拒绝就是下一次的赞同，这一次皱起的眉头就是下一次舒展的笑容。今天的不幸，往往预示着明天的好运。每当夜幕降临，我总是感激一天的遭遇；我深信，只有失败多次，才能成功。

I will remember the ancient law of averages and I will bend it to my good. I will persist with knowledge that each failure to sell will increase my chance for success at the next attempt. Each nay I hear will bring me closer to the sound of yea. Each frown I meet only prepares me for the smile to come. Each misfortune I encounter will carry in it the seed of tomorrow’s good luck. I must have the night to appreciate the day. I must fail often to succeed only once.

坚持不懈，直到成功。

I will persist until I succeed

我要尝试，尝试，再尝试。障碍是我成功路上的弯道，我迎接这项挑战。我要像水手一样，刻意增长才干，乘风破浪。

I will try, and try, and try again. Each obstacle I will consider as a mere detour to my goal and a challenge to my profession. I will persist and develop my skills as the mariner develops his, by learning to ride out the wrath of each storm.

坚持不懈，直到成功。

I will persist until I succeed.

从今往后，我要借鉴别人成功的秘诀。过去的是非成败，我全不计较；我坚定信念，明天会更好。当我精疲力竭时，我要抵制退缩的诱惑，再试一次。我一试再试，争取每天都向成功靠近，避免每天都不失败。我要为明天的成功播种，超过那些按部就班的人。在别人停滞不前的时候，我继续拼搏，终有一天我会丰收。

Henceforth, I will learn and apply another secret of those who excel in my work. when each day is ended, not regarding whether it has been a success or a failure, I will attempt to achieve one more sale. When my thoughts beckon my tired body homeward I will resist the temptation to depart. I will try again. I will make one more attempt to close with victory, and if that fails I will make another. Never will I allow any day to end with a failure. Thus will I plant the seed of tomorrow’s success and gain an insurmountable advantage over those who cease their labor at a prescribed time. when others cease their struggle, the mine will begin, and my harvest will be full.

坚持不懈，终会成功。

I will persitst until I succeed.

我不因昨天的成功而满足，因为这是失败的先兆。我要忘记昨日的一切，是好是坏，都让它随风而去。我信心百倍地迎接新的太阳，相信“今天是此生最好的一天”。

Nor will I allow yesterday’s success to lull me into today’s complacency, for this is the great foundation of failure. I will forget the happenings of the day that is gone, whether they were good or bad, and greet the new sun with confidence that this will be the best day of my life.

只要我一息尚存，就要坚持到底，因为我已深知成功的秘诀。坚持不懈，终会成功。

So long as there is breath in me, that long will I persist. for now I know one of the greatest principles of success; if I persist long enough I will win.

I will persist.I will win.

我不想听失意者的哭泣，抱怨者的牢骚，这是羊群中的瘟疫，我不能被它传染。我要尽量避免绝望，辛勤耕耘，忍受苦楚。我一试再试，争取每天的成功，避免以失败收场。在别人停滞不前时，我继续拼搏。
