The EASY Road or The HARD Road

Your educational journey is going to be hard. I can promise you that. There are two paths you can take, the easy road or the hard road. 
我可以很确定地告诉你，你的求学过程，将会困难重重。你有两条路可选，容易的路，或者困难的路。

If you choose the hard road, it means you choose to study when your friends are out partying. You start writing your report when the rest of the class don't even know the deadline yet. You're already awake at 5:00 a.m. on your way to the library when the rest of your friends are still sleeping. 
如果你选择了困难的路，这就意味着，朋友们尽情欢乐时，你要选择努力学习；其他同学还不知道截止日期时，你已经开始写作业；凌晨五点，朋友们还在沉睡时，你已经起床出门，朝着图书馆走去。

If you can find enough focus and motivation to do these hard things, the things that everyone else struggles with, then your educational journey will be easy. 
如果你有足够的专注力、足够的动力来做这些让大家觉得痛苦的事，那么，你的求学过程将会变得容易。

The grades will be easy. The scholarships will be easy. But it's a choice that you have to consciously make. You have to step up and take that path. And it will be lonely at times. It will feel like you're the only one doing this. 

成绩很容易变好，奖学金很容易到手。但是，你要自觉地做出这个选择。你必须加快脚步，踏上这条道路。有时，你会感到孤独，好像，这些事，只有你自己在做。

But that's the whole point. The whole idea of this is to be standing at the top of the mountain, while everyone else is still at the bottom, because you took the path that so many people are unwilling to take.
