欧美人文风情第339篇:你比自己想的更有成就

 It gets really hard to feel successful when a lot of things are variables in your life. 当生命中很多事物都无法掌控时，你很难觉得成功。

Mediocre¹. Because I don't think I'm, you know, in a job that I want to be doing for the rest of my life necessarily. 普普通通。因为我不觉得自己目前的工作是我下半辈子还想继续做的那种。

I would say that I'm insecure, like, you know,  我会说我是个没有安全感的人，比如，你知道，

if people say things like "Oh, you can't do it. You know, you're not good enough to do it." 如果有人说“喔，你做不到啦。你知道，你不够有能力”那些话。

In family is where she finds her greatest success. 家庭是她最有成就的地方。

I just know that she will forever be there for me as cheesy as that sounds. 虽然这听起来很老套，但我就是知道她会永远在我身边支持我。

So only one to 10? Yeah. Ten is high; one is low? 只有一到十吗？是的。十分是高分；一分是低分？

Say 11 out of 10. She just has so much fun in life. 十分的话我给十一分。她的人生就是这么充满乐趣。

Do you know what this number is signifying? No. 你知道这个数字代表什么吗？不知道。

This is how successful I think you are. 这代表我认为你有多成功。

He would define his own success as not just, like, making it,  他对自己成功的定义不只是得到成功－－

you know, having money, cars, because he has something to offer in this world. 你知道，赚大钱、有车那些－－因为他能对这世界有所贡献。

I'm in shock! As a successful person or a mother? 我太惊讶了!这是指身为一个成功的人还是一个妈妈？
