People would usually accept your own estimate of yourself? In other words, they will give you the same worth you give yourself. So don't sell yourself short!
人们常常接受您对自己的估价。换言之，人们认可你的价值是你自己所定的标价。所以，不要把自己看低了。 3．Don't Defeat Yourself 不要击败自己

你真正的敌人是你自己的心灵。没有什么东西比你对自己的误识更能击败和中伤你了。 6．The Real Competition 真正的竞争
When we compete only to win and beat the other person, it not only makes us bad losers, but also bad winners. That kind of competing only produces people with a bad heart and character, full of selfish, greed, pride, and jealousy.
当我们仅仅为了获胜而打击对手时，我们不但成为糟糕的失败者，还沦为可鄙的得胜者。这样的竞争会使人的心灵和个性发生扭曲，使其充满着自私贪婪、骄傲和嫉妒。 7．No Parking 不能停车
Once we pull over and park, the ride of our life stops, because we stop ourself from reaching our potential and living every day to the fullest. We stop trying, learning and improving to make ourself and our life the best it can be.

Successful people look at life through a telescope and see how great it can be, but small, jealous people look at life through a microscope and only see the faults and mistakes of others. Being envious and jealous of others is just a slow method of suicide that'll kill both your health and happiness.
成功的人通过望远镜看人生，看到人生可以达到多么伟大境界，而卑微和心胸狭隘的人却用显微镜看人生，盯住别人的过失和错误不放。羡慕和嫉恨别人是一种慢性自杀，它会扼杀了你的健康和幸福。 10．A Better Way 更好的道路
We may all live under the same sky, but we don't all have the same horizon. Expanding your horizons means choosing to see the bigger picture and opportunities for success all around you.

Successful people do sweat the small stuff; they work hard at the details. That's what makes them successful. But many times we just can't be bothered to do our very best work.

You see many people may look mature and strong on the outside, but inside they're still hurting emotionally and need healing. They still have deep wounds, scars and painful memories of terrible things that were said or done to them when they were children or teenagers.
许多人看似成熟强壮，而他们的内心情感却伤痕累累，需要治疗。童年和少年时受到的斥责和虐待等可怕的经历，在他们心中留下了深深的伤痕和惨痛的记忆。 15．Don't Follow Your Conscience 别跟你的良心走
So our feelings are deferentially NOT a good guide to show us what's right and wrong. You know a person can be wrong even though he doesn't feel wrong or guilty.
在判别是非方面，我们的感觉肯定不是个好向导。一个人可以是错误的，即使他不感到有过错或罪过。 16．Work Works 做有效的工作
Who use 50% of their ability really stand out from the rest. And the very few who actually give their full 100% of strength and smarts to their work become the most successful.
谁在工作中使用他们能力的50%，就能够出类拔萃。极少数那些将自己的力量和智慧百分之百地投入工作的人，就成了最成功的人。 17．Create Your Own Luck 创造自己的运气

我们必须努力工作，尽力走在运气和成功降临的路上，否则就会因为我们没有准备好而错失良机。 18．Persistence Pays 苦尽甜来
Nothing can bring success like persistence. Talent cannot, for there are many talented people who are not successful. Education will not, for the world is full of educated losers. Only persistence and determination can give you the power to succeed.
没有什么比坚持不懈更能通向成功之路。才干不能，许多有才干的人并没有成功；教育不能，这世界塞满了受过教育的失败者；惟有坚持不懈和决心能给你成功的力量。 19．Perseverance Prevails 坚持就是胜利
We often think of great artists and musicians as being brilliant geniuses who just naturally and easily perform, without effort or practice. But the truth is most of them simply kept working hard every day until they finally produced their masterpieces.
我们常常以为，那些伟大的艺术家和音乐家是光辉灿烂的天才，他们天生就才华横溢，做事易如反掌。但实际上，他们中间大多数人就是靠日复一日的艰苦工作，直到最终产生了他们的大师之作。 20．Success Is Mostly Failure 失败乃成功之母
If you want the rainbow, you've got to put up with the rain.You see it takes courage and strength to keep going toward your goal each time you fail.Failing should make us better not bitter.
不经风雨，怎见彩虹。要知道，每次失败时，你都需要继续朝着目标前进的勇气和耐力。失败应该使我们有所长进，而不是变得沮丧。 21．Better Late Than Never 晚到总比不到好

拿着这张金额不多的支票，他在65岁那年又开始了新业务。今天，这生意在全球都繁荣昌盛。 22．Plan in Hand 运筹帷幄
If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. Success is no accident! It doesn't just magically happen. You have to plan for it to happen. So why not start living your life on purpose? First dream it, then do it.
如果你不能做计划，那你就在计划失败。成功不是偶然的，不会神奇地出现。为获成功，你必须做计划。你为什么不现在就过上有目标的生活呢？先梦想它，然后实现它。 23．Live Before You Leave 把握人生
We have to learn to be comfortable with uncomfortable challenges, because we can't discover new oceans unless we've got the courage to lose sight of the shore. We've got to believe that the best jobs haven't been found yet.
我们必须学习对不舒服的挑战感到舒服，因为除非我们有勇气看不见现有的海岸线，否则我们就不可能发现新的海洋。我们必须相信，最好的工作还没有被做出。 24． Live Your Dreams 生活在梦想中
The prize goes to the person who sees the future the quickest. And the best way to predict the future is to invent it. After all, if you don't know where you're going, how will you know when you get there?Dreams are what get you started, but discipline is what keeps you going all the way.
荣耀应属于那些最先看到未来的人。然而，预见未来的最好方法就是创造未来。总而言之，如果你不知道将去何处，怎么能知道何时到达呢？ 梦想使你起跑，而自强不息却可使你跑完全程。 25．The Main Thing 把握重点
It's important that we keep the main thing the main thing. And if you want to be successful in your job, business, or managing your family, or your studies, whatever we do, we must get the main thing done. Instead of wasting our time and energy doing things that aren't that important.

If you expect the best from people, they'll usually want to give you their best. Treat a person just how he appears to be on the outside, and you'll make him even worse. But treat a person like he's already a success, and you'll help make him the best he can be.
如果你希望看到人们最好的一面，人们就常常把最好的一面做给你看。以人的外表对待一个人，只能使他更加糟糕。但是，如果把他看成是一位成功者，这将使他竭尽全力，做得最好。 28．Live and Learn 生活就是学习
If we want a good life, we need to be a good student of life, and realize we can learn something from everybody. In fact, it's when we stop learning that we stop living.

担忧和恐惧就象一把摇椅：它让你摆动，但却去不了任何地方。如果你止不住地忧虑，你就这样想，再担忧也没有用。恐惧本身就是恐惧的证据。如果你感到害怕，你就能找到害怕的理由。 44． Temper Your Temper 控制自己的情绪
Sometimes the hurts and wounds we make with our angry words are the worst kind. Yes, we should always apologize and tell others we're sorry when we hurt them. But our families and friends would be much happier if we simply learned to control our anger in the first place.
