近日,一段視頻在YouTube上獲得過億播放量,激勵無數(shù)人。這段視頻就是阿諾德·施瓦辛格的演講視頻。在這段視頻里,他回憶了自己為實現(xiàn)目標(biāo)努力、拼搏的時光,而這些時光成就了他之后的輝煌。在這段視頻里,他的眼神中有掩不住的堅定,有通過自己拼搏獲得成功的驕傲。 在這段演講中,他告訴我們無論做什么事情,都要胸懷一個目標(biāo),不斷追求。排除來自于任何人的疑慮與否定,相信自己。跌倒、失敗也要站起來繼續(xù)前行。這世上哪有什么一夜成名,不過只是百煉成鋼。每一次跌倒都會讓自己變得更強(qiáng)大。 下面,我們一起來看看這段震撼、勵志的演講吧。 I went to college. I went and worked out five hours a day. And I was working in construction, because in those days in body-building, there was no money. I didn’t have the money for food supplements or anything. So I had to go to work. So I worked in construction, I went to college and worked out in the gym 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’m standing here today. 在大學(xué)里,我每天訓(xùn)練五個小時。同時還在工地里干活,因為那時候沒有錢練習(xí)健美。我沒有錢買食物或其他別的東西,所以我不得不去工作。我在工地里干活。我去大學(xué)的健身房健身,從晚上八點一直到午夜十二點。我每周還去上四次表演課。我做了所有的這些事情,沒有浪費一分鐘,這就是我今天能夠站在這里的原因。 With 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 where you go, you drift around and you never end up anywhere. 我20歲的時候去了倫敦,贏了環(huán)球先生的比賽,成為史上最年輕的環(huán)球先生。這是因為我一直有這樣一個目標(biāo)。如果你對于自己要去向哪里沒有想法,如果你沒有目標(biāo),你將隨波逐流,不會在任何地方落腳。 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 just aimlessly drift around. And there’s a job opening, so they get their job because they need 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 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,因為他們不是真正地在“做”,因為他們沒有目標(biāo)也沒有努力朝著它奮斗。他們只是毫無目的地隨波逐流。遇到一份現(xiàn)成的工作時,他們就得到了他們的職位,因為他們需要工作。但之后工作時,卻發(fā)現(xiàn)它是令人厭倦的瑣事,只是工作,毫無趣味。所以你想想看,只有四分之一的人真正享受他們一生中的工作。 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 they look sour in the face. Why is that? 當(dāng)人們看到我在健身房里沒日沒夜地健身時,他們總是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?其他人和你一樣辛苦的人,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 close to accomplishing the goal, to make this goal this vision turning into reality. Every single set that I do, every repetition of weight that I lift, will get me a step close to turning this goal into a reality. 我每次都這樣告訴他們,因為對我來說,我在為我的目標(biāo)而努力。在我面前的是環(huán)球先生的頭銜,所以我做的每一次訓(xùn)練都讓我離實現(xiàn)目標(biāo)又近了一點,讓這個目標(biāo),這個愿景變成現(xiàn)實。我每做的一組練習(xí),我每舉起的一次重量,會使我離把目標(biāo)轉(zhuǎn)化為現(xiàn)實更近了一步。我做的每一組訓(xùn)練,每重復(fù)一次舉重,都使我距離將目標(biāo)轉(zhuǎn)化成現(xiàn)實更近了一步。
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 2,000 sit-ups; I couldn’t wait for the next exercise. So let me tell you something that 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. 所以我迫不及待地做下一組500磅的深蹲,迫不及待地做下一組500磅的仰臥推舉,迫不及待地做下一組2000個仰臥起坐,迫不及待地開始下一次訓(xùn)練。所以我告訴你,想象你的目標(biāo)并且追尋它,讓事情變得很有趣。你需要一個目標(biāo),無論你在生活中做什么,你必須要有一個目標(biāo)。 Muhammad Ali worked his butt off. And I saw it first-hand. I remember that there was a sports writer in the gym. When Ali 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(xùn)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(dāng)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)?!毕胂肟?,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。 輸 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’s 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 either physically improve or mentally improve. Imagine you read 1 hour a day about history. How much would you 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 worked on some business you wanted to develop, every day for an hour. Imagine how further along you’d 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(qiáng)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(xué)到多少知識。如果每天研究音樂家和作曲家的歷史,你能學(xué)到多少東西。想象一下,如果把時間用在經(jīng)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”. You have 24 hours a day. We sleep 6 hours a day, so it still gives you 18 hours. There’s people shaking their heads out there in front saying probably “I don’t sleep 6 hours. I sleep 8 hours.” Well, just sleep fast. 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. So what do you do with these 6 hours? To eat a little bit, schmooze a little bit, talk a little bit to people. 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?!焙冒?,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(shè)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’ll 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, You can’t do it. It’s impossible.” That is ok, because we just turn off. As I said earlier I hear the “no” being a “yes”, “you can’t do it” to “you can do it” all that. So it’s 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 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,我將要告訴你們?yōu)槭裁?。因為我們身邊有太多持懷疑態(tài)度的人,就像我前面說過的“說不”的人。我們身邊有太多的人會說“不行,你做不了,絕對不可能?!边@沒什么,因為我們可以不理睬。就像我之前說的,“不”意思是“是”,“你做不到”意思是“你可以”。周圍有很多態(tài)度消極的人時,這是可能做到的。但如果你自己也懷疑自己時,那真的很危險。因為這基本上就是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。這意味著你已經(jīng)開始想備選計劃。每當(dāng)你開始想備選計劃,你就已經(jīng)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. 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(wǎng)時我們反而會表現(xiàn)得更好。備選計劃就是那張安全網(wǎng),它在安慰你:如果我失敗摔倒重新開始,還有可以保護(hù)我的東西?!边@種想法并不好,因為如果沒有安全網(wǎng),人們往往會做得更好。不論是運動領(lǐng)域還是其他事情上,沒有安全網(wǎng)時人們會表現(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 go 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。我竭盡全力去贏得健美冠軍,我竭盡全力留在美國,我竭盡全力進(jìn)入演藝圈并成為領(lǐng)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。在政界也和其他所有的事情都一樣。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(jī)會。 輸 And 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他們擔(dān)心失敗。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。你必須失敗才能攀登成功的階梯,沒有人不會失敗。 Michael Jordan said in one of his interviews when they said “you’re unbelievable you the greatest basketball player of all times. Tell me about that.” And he says “well, you are just mentioning the successes, but it is for me, to become the greatest basketball player, I missed 9000 shots when I was playing basketball, the NBA games.” So, during this games that he was so successful, he missed 9000 shots. Does it make him a failure? No. He is one of the greatest basketball players of all times, but he failed 9000 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(yù)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,對我來說,成為最偉大的球員之前我在NBA球場上投丟了9000次球?!彼裕谶@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籃球運動員之一,但他失敗了9000次。你明白了嗎?我們都會失??!沒關(guān)系。 輸 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(dāng)你失敗時,你會沉淪下去。如果沉淪下去,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。你會一直站起來,這才是成功的人。 I failed 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 loses! 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。在政治中,我有很多選票,但我失敗了。我在加州的支持率下降到28%,之后又回升,我又贏得了州長的職位。我們都會失敗,我們都有很多失敗的經(jīng)歷。沒關(guān)系,這就是為什么我說不要擔(dān)心失敗。因為你害怕失敗的時候,你就會畏縮不前,身體僵硬,無法放松。為了表現(xiàn)得好,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。 輸 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(guān)系,讓我們?nèi)σ愿埃幢M全力。這就是成功的真諦。不要害怕失敗! |
