Success is a quiet process

As Ellen Cook puts it, success is like a quiet daily set of tasks. Real real small. It's like that quiet walk to the library, that empty 24/7 library late at night, over and over and over. Or as I sit there studying other great people and I compare their actions with my own actions over and over and over. Or as I sit doing 30 minutes of meditation a day over and over and over. Making the choice to eat foods that enhance my brain neuro-transmitters over and over and over. 

正如Ellen Cook所言，成功就像每日默默完成的任务。这些任务很小，比如每天晚上都自己走去那个空荡荡的24小时图书馆，或者我反复地研究其他优秀的人，并把他们的行为和我的进行对比，或者我每天都用30分钟练习冥想，或者我一直坚持吃健康的、有益于我的大脑神经递质的食物。

It's a very quiet process where you're doing these simple little tasks but finding love in those simple little tasks. It's not the big thing where you do this one thing and something big happens. Being able to make a success out of your life. It's not purely down to luck. You have more control over it than you think. You can decide to be successful. You can decide to have the fast cars and the big house. 

这个过程很安静，你的任务很简单也很小，但是你逐渐喜欢上它们。它们不是什么伟大的事情，不是那种影响深远的事情。在人生中，获得成功并不全靠运气。你对生活的掌控力，比你想象的要强。你可以决定自己是否成功，是否能够拥有豪车和大房子。

And it starts right here with your studying, not because getting good grades is going to bring you success in the future, it's about the work ethic and the attitude you have towards your studying that will transfer to your work after you graduate. It's about believing that you can achieve something and doing whatever it takes to achieve it. It's about fine-tuning the skills you have to zero in on your goals, the skills that you are improving while you're studying. 

这一切都是从现在开始的，从你目前的学习开始，这不是因为好成绩能让你在未来取得成功，而是因为你对学习这件事的职业精神和态度。在你毕业之后，它们仍然能够影响你。这也是因为，你相信自己能够实现梦想，并且用尽全力为之奋斗。这更是因为，你不断打磨自己的技能，从头学起，通过学习来不断提高它们。
