英語勵(lì)志美文：10句話足以讓你內(nèi)心強(qiáng)大！

Whether you're an experienced entrepreneur or just starting out, there's nothing more essential to success than keeping yourself motivated. Here are 10 thoughts that motivational guru Omar Periu shared with me a while back:
無論你是一位經(jīng)驗(yàn)豐富的企業(yè)家或者才剛剛起步，沒有什么比保持自己的動(dòng)力對成功更為關(guān)鍵。激勵(lì)大師奧馬爾·佩魯前陣子與我分享了十個(gè)想法：
1.Motivation means choosing to do what you'd rather not do, which is why unmotivated people never get anywhere.
動(dòng)力就是選擇做你不想做的事情。這就是為什么缺乏動(dòng)力的人從來沒有取得任何進(jìn)展的原因。
2.Most people want to improve their situation but few take responsibility for motivating themselves to make changes.
大多數(shù)人都希望改善自己的處境，但很少有人為激勵(lì)自己做出改變而采取行動(dòng)。
3.People can always validate the decision to avoid unpleasant work. Example: "Today, I'll get organized; tomorrow I'll make cold calls."
人們總是能為自己逃避不愉快的工作找到借口。例如：“今天我先計(jì)劃一下;明天我就進(jìn)行電話推銷。”
4.Motivation comes from managing your mind and your emotions. Fail at this and you'll live a life of quiet desperation.
動(dòng)力來自管理你的思想和情緒。如果不能做到這一點(diǎn)，你的生活就會(huì)平淡而絕望。
5.The most depressing and de-motivating sentences in the world usually begin with the phrase "Someday, I'll..."
世界上最沮喪和沒有動(dòng)力的話總是這么開頭的“總有一天，我會(huì)……”
6.If you find yourself thinking negative thoughts, go someplace quiet and replace those thoughts with positive affirmations, prayer or meditation.
如果你發(fā)現(xiàn)自己情緒消極，到一個(gè)安靜的地方把消極的情緒變成積極的肯定想法、禱告或者冥想。
7.To get big results, ask yourself big questions. "Why do I want to be a millionaire?" is far more motivating than "How can I make a living?"
為了取得宏大的目標(biāo)，你要問自己一些宏大的問題。“為什么我想變成一個(gè)百萬富翁?”比“我怎么才能生存下去?”激勵(lì)人心多了。
8.Don't set goals that just excite you; set goals that scare you a little bit. That way they'll strengthen your "motivation muscle."
不要僅僅設(shè)定能剛好讓你興奮的目標(biāo);設(shè)定的目標(biāo)要能讓你自己有點(diǎn)害怕。這樣，這些目標(biāo)就能讓你的“動(dòng)力肌肉”更加發(fā)達(dá)。
9.What holds people back is fear of failure, but if you don't take action, you'll fail by default, so what have you got to lose?
讓人們退卻的是對失敗的恐懼，但是如果你不采取行動(dòng)，你就默認(rèn)自己失敗了。所以，(行動(dòng)吧!)你又有什么損失呢?
10.You can have whatever you want in life, but nobody is going to give it to you. Everything of value must be earned.
你可以得到生活里你想要的一切，但是沒有人會(huì)雙手送上。有價(jià)值的東西一定是通過努力獲得的。
