励志美文：为何失败比成功重要

 　　As an entrepreneur of ten years I've learned all too well what failure feels like. The perpetual wheel of reinventing myself has been the only constant in my life. Ups and downs, highs and lows; the roller coaster of perceived failure can be exhausting.

　　作为一名创业十年的企业家，我太明白失败的滋味了。不断地重塑自我是我人生唯一不变的主题。那些起起落落，风风雨雨，失败的体验像过山车一般，让人精疲力尽。

　　Success happens when we go outside our comfort zone, stretch ourselves beyond recognized limits and experience new people, places and things. Success happens outside "normal", and the only way to reach it is to walk though failure without losing your enthusiasm.

　　成功的前提是，我们要走出舒适区，把双手伸往未知，去感受新的人、新的地方、新的事物。成功需要一些不平凡，而唯一达到它的方式就是走过失败却不失热情。

　　Success and failure are symbiotic-without one the other is not possible. So whatever your perceived failure is right now embrace it. Maybe you're experiencing failure for the first time, or maybe you're sitting by me in the roller coaster of ups and downs. No matter the number of failures in your tally¹ box, know that each failure is simply a message that says, "Congratulations, you're living life!" Then take a deep breath and get ready to walk through your next failure knowing you've already achieved success.

　　成功与失败是共生的，没有其中之一，另一个也不复存在。所以无论你正经历着怎样的失败，去接受它吧。也许这是你人生第一次尝到失败之苦，或者也许你和我一样已经经历了大起大落。无论这是第几次失败，你必须明白，每一次失败都在向你传递：“恭喜呀，这才是人生!”。然后你深呼吸，昂首阔步地为下一次做好准备，而内心深处却明白自己已经迈向了成功。
