Falling down is an accident, but staying down is a choice

Why are you embarking on a journey, any journey? Why are you on the quest, on what sets your soul on fire? Why? You see, the beauty of human existence lies not in just staying alive but in finding something to live for. 
人生路漫漫，你是为了什么而出发？为什么你一直追寻你热爱的事情？为什么？人类的伟大之处，不在于生存，而在于为梦想而活。

So, knowing the WHY is of utmost importance, and when you do, write it on your heart, visit what you have written every day, ensure that your decisions and actions daily are aligned with these intentions. You must be intentional in your doing. 
所以，刚才这几个问题的答案，是非常重要的，你要把它们想清楚，并且记在心里，每天都思考它们，让它们指引你的每个决定、每个行动。你做的事情，必须得有目的。

Now in pursuing your intentions you would learn daily. There's nothing like a self-made mountain. In your journey through life, you would learn and unlearn, and to do this you'll need the help of those who have gone before you, those who are living their lives with purpose. Find them, and attach yourself to them, because if you walk down the right path, eventually you'll make progress. 
在追逐梦想的过程中，你每天都会有所收获。自己创造的高峰，是最有意义的。在你的人生旅途中，有时你有所收获，有时你重头再来，要获得成功，你就必须向比你厉害的人求助，他们是有自己人生追求的人。找到这些人，向他们看齐。因为，如果你走的路是对的，那么，你终究会取得进步。

On this journey of life, it's not going to be all rosy and smooth sailing. There are times when things will get a little bit confusing. There are times when you will fail. If and when that time comes, I'm going to need you to remember, falling down is an accident, but staying down is a choice. 
人生路漫漫，你会遇到彩虹，也会遇到风雨。有时候，眼前的事情可能会让你迷茫。有时候，你会失败。在这种时候，你要记得，跌倒了，是一个意外，但是，从此一蹶不振，就是你自己的选择。

Be intentional. It was Abraham Lincoln who said I'm not concerned that you have fallen, I am concerned that you arise. If and when you fail, get back up. Failure is part of the growing process. The really successful people fail their way to success. 
要保持自己的理想。林肯曾经说过，我关心的，不是你跌倒了，而是你能够重新站起来。如果你失败了，一定要站起来。失败，是成长过程的一部分。那些真正成功的人，都是经历了无数失败，才取得了成功。
