Don't you know that you're all that I think about?
但你可明白你是我心头的牵绊？
You make up a half of the whole

Dreams pass into the reality of action. From the action stems the dream again; and this interdependence produces the highest form of living.梦想转化为现实，现实又催生梦想，这种互生关系造就了人生的最高境界。（pass into进入；慢慢变成；interdependence n 互相依赖）
Taking action is a crucial habit of successful men and so is dreaming! Don’t let go of your passions.有梦想，有行动是成功人士的重要习惯。不要失去你的热情。
Forgive yourself for your mistakes. Highly successful men don’t obsess or feel guilty about past choices or failures. They make mistakes, move on, and apply what they’ve learned to new situations.
要宽恕自己所犯的错误。成功的人不会对过去的选择与失败而倍感愧疚和耿耿于怀。他们会犯错误，但不会因此止步，他们会带着从中吸取的经验教训去应对新的情况与问题。
Avoid energy vampires. Do you feel drained or sad after spending time with a particular friend, coworker, or relative? If yes, limit the time you spend with him or her. Note how you feel after visiting with a certain person; if you feel energized and happy, then you’re in good company. Highly successful people choose their companions wisely.
远离让你心力交瘁的人。当你和某个朋友、同事或亲戚在一起之后，是否会觉得精疲力竭、情绪低落？那就不要过多地和这些人相处。注意自己与某人交往后的感受；如果觉得精力充沛、心情愉悦，那么你就找对伴儿了。成功的人都能明智地选择同伴。
Speak kindly to yourself! If you beat yourself up for being overweight, or not exercising enough, you just create a downward spiral. Highly successful people remind themselves of their achievements and successes. They refuse to tell themselves negative things; they accept themselves.
对自己好点（与自己交谈的时候，尽量说正面的 ）！如果因为自己长胖了、或者锻炼不够而打击自己，你就陷入了一个恶性循环。成功人士会时刻记住自己取得的成就。他们不会总是对自己灌输一些负面的信息；他们正视自己的一切。
Let go of perfectionism. Strive to do your best, but let go of perfectionist tendencies.不要过于追崇完美主义。努力做到最好，但放弃完美主义者那一套。
Use your core strengths. Are you a natural mathematician, writer, or party planner? Discover your core strengths by trying different things until you find what fits. To take risks and try new things, take short-term volunteer positions or volunteer for new projects at work or in your community.
好好利用你的天赋。你是天生的数学家、作家或者组织聚会的高手吗？不断尝试不同的事情，不断地发现你的长处，直到找到真正适合自己的事情。勇于冒险，勇于尝试。自愿从事公司或社区中的短期职位或新项目（mathematician, [,m?θ?m?'t???n] n. 数学家）
Take time for yourself.Take time to recharge your batteries and refuel your emotional, spiritual, and physical energy. Spend at least a few minutes alone each day—even if you have to lock yourself in the bathroom to do it!
留一些时间给自己。给自己充足的时间休息，养精蓄锐。即使是只能呆在卫生间，每天也要至少花几分钟于自己独处。 |
