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。我要尽量避免绝望，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。

在古老的东方，挑选小公牛列竞技场格斗有一定的程序、它们被带进场地，向手持长矛的斗牛士攻击，裁判以它受激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。如果我坚韧不拔，勇往直前，迎接挑战。那么我一定会成功。

Iwasnotdelivereduntothisworldindefeat,nordoesfailurecourseinmyveins.Iamnotasheepwaitingtobeproddedbymyshepherd.IamalionandIrefusetotalk,towalk,tosleepwiththesheep.Iwillhearnotthosewhoweepandcomplain,fortheirdiseaseiscontagious.Letthemjointhesheep.Theslaughterhouseoffailureisnotmydestiny.

我不是为了失败才来到这个世界上的，我的血管里也没有失败的血液在流动。我不是任人鞭打的羔羊，我是猛狮，不与羊群为伍。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。失败者的屠宰场不是我命运的归宿。

Theprizesoflifeareattheendofeachjourney,notnearthebeginning;anditisnotgiventometoknowhowmanystepsarenecessaryinordertoreachmygoal.FailureImaystillencounteratthethousandthstep,yetsuccesshidesbehindthenextbendintheroad.NeverwillIknowhowcloseitliesunlessIturnthecorner.

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。踏上第一千步的时候，仍然可能遭到失败。但成功就藏在拐角后面，除非拐了弯，我永远不知道还有多远。

AlwayswillItakeanotherstep.IfthatisofnoavailIwilltakeanother,andyetanother.Intruth,onestepatatimeisnottoodifficult.

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。

Henceforth,Iwilllearnandapplyanothersecretofthosewhoexcelinmywork.Wheneachdayisended,notregardingwhetherithasbeenasuccessorafailure,Iwillattempttoachieveonemoresale.WhenmythoughtsbeckonmytiredbodyhomewardIwillresistthetemptationtodepart.Iwilltryagain.Iwillmakeonemoreattempttoclosewithvictory,andifthatfailsIwillmakeanother.NeverwillIallowanydaytoendwithafailure.ThuswillIplanttheseedoftomorrow'ssuccessandgainaninsurmountableadvantageoverthosewhoceasetheirlaborataprescribedtime.Whenothersceasetheirstruggle,theminewillbegin,andmyharvestwillbefull.

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，只抱定信念，明天会更好。当我精疲力歇时，我要抵制回家的诱惑，再试一次。我一试再试。争取每一天的成功，避免以失败收场。我要为明天的成功播种，超过那些按部就班的人。在别人停滞不前时，我继续拼搏，终有一天我会丰收。“

NorwillIallowyesterday'ssuccesstolullmeintotoday'scomplacency,forthisisthegreatfoundationoffailure.Iwillforgetthehappeningsofthedaythatisgone,whethertheyweregoodorbad,andgreetthenewsunwithconfidencethatthiswillbethebestdayofmylife.

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

Henceforth,Iwillconsidereachday'seffortasbutoneblowofmybladeagainstamightyoak.Thefirstblowmaycausenotatremorinthewood,northesecond,northethird.Eachblow,ofitself,maybetrifling,andseemofnoconsequence.Yetfromchildishswipestheoakwilleventuallytumble.Soitwillbewithmyeffortsoftoday.

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。每一击者似微不足道，然而，累积起来，巨树终会倒下。这恰如我今天的努力。

Iwillbelikentotheraindropwhichwashesawaythemountain;theantwhodevoursatiger;thestarwhichbrightenstheearth;theslavewhobuildsapyramid.IwillbuildmycastleonebrickatatimeforIknowthatsmallattempts,repeated,willcompleteanyundertaking.

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。

IwillremembertheancientlawofaveragesandIwillbendittomygood.Iwillpersistwithknowledgethateachfailuretosellwillincreasemychanceforsuccessatthenextattempt.EachnayIhearwillbringmeclosertothesoundofyea.EachfrownImeetonlypreparesmeforthesmiletocome.EachmisfortuneIencounterwillcarryinittheseedoftomorrow'sgoodluck.Imusthavethenighttoappreciatetheday.Imustfailoftentosucceedonlyonce.

我要牢牢记住古老的平衡法则，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。夜幕降临。回想一天的遭遇。我总是心存感激。我深知，只有失败多次，才能成功。

Solongasthereisbreathinme,thatlongwillIpersist.FornowIknowoneofthegreatestprinciplesofsuccess;ifIpersistlongenoughIwillwin.

只要我一息尚存，就要坚持到底，因为我已深知成功的秘诀。
