Success takes effort 努力才能成功

Not everything works; even if it works for other people, the same thing just doesn’t work for us. So what? Failure can either become an obstacle and an excuse or it can become your teacher in what not to do. What's it going to be?

世上并非事事都行得通，即使是同样的一件事，对他人起作用，对我们却不一定有效。即便如此，那又如何呢？失败既可以成为障碍，成为借口，也可以化身为给予你指导的老师，它会告诉你哪些事情不能做。你会让失败扮演什么角色呢?

It takes effort, commitment and follow-through.

成功需要付出努力，需要承担责任，需要坚持到底。

They call it a ladder of success for a reason... because you need to climb it in order to get somewhere. It's not an escalator. You just don't stand there and let it do the work for you. You have to do the work yourself. Sometimes it will be easy; other times you’ll be carrying a heavy load on your shoulders. The ladder remains the same. Success still waits on the other side. It's going to take determination and persistence on your part to get up and over that wall.

人们有理由称之为通向成功的阶梯，因为你需要借助这个阶梯才能到达某个地方。但它不是自动扶梯，你不能在那儿站着不动，让自动扶梯为你工作。你得身体力行。有时你会轻而易举，有时你则肩负重担。阶梯保持原样，成功仍然在对面等待。你需要决心和毅力去穿越那堵障碍之墙。

Which side do you want to be on?

那么，你希望自己在哪一边呢？
