12个比你更成功的人永远不会告诉你的秘密.

　　他们会做完必须要做的事，在24小时以内!

　　They do what needs to be done, today!

　　几乎每个人都在谈论这个问题，但成功人士会将其付诸行动。我曾经说过，现在我还要再说一遍：你是否拥有高智商和量子物理学的博士学位并不重要，因为如果你不行动起来，你在现实世界中便无法改变任何事情或取得任何进步。知与行之间有着巨大差异。没有行动，知识和智慧便毫无用处。就是这么简单。

　　While everyone else is talking about it, successful people are quietly doing it. I’ve said it bore and I’ll say it again: It doesn’t matter if you have a genius IQ and a PhD in Quantum Physics, you can’t change anything or make any sort of real-world progress without taking action. There’s a huge difference between knowing how to do something and actually doing it. Knowledge and intelligence are both useless without action. It’s as simple as that.

　　成功人士知道，今天执行的一个好计划，比未来某天才能执行的完美计划更有价值。他们不会等待“合适的时间”或“合适的日期”或“合适的(不可能的)环境”，因为他们知道这些反应都是源自于恐惧。他们会立刻行动起来——因为只有这样，才会真正有所进步。

　　Successful people know that a good plan executed today is better than a perfect plan executed someday. They don’t wait for the “right time” or the “right day” or the “right (impossible) circumstances”, because they know these reactions are based on a fear and nothing more. They take action here and now, today – because that’s where real progress happens.

　　他们会逐渐将人生的困境变成优势。

　　They gradually turn life’s obstacles around.

　　许多最著名的小说、歌曲和发明都是受到了极度痛苦和伤心往事的启发。因此，面对诸多挑战不要灰心，因为它们可能成为史诗巨作诞生的催化剂。

　　Many of the most iconic novels, songs and inventions of all time were inspired by gut-wrenching pain and heartbreak. Therore, the silver lining of these great challenges is that they were the catalyst to the creation of epic masterpieces.

　　一个名为“创伤后成长”的心理学新兴领域认为，许多人可以利用他们所经历的艰辛和创伤，获得大幅度的创造力与智力发展。研究人员发现，创伤尤其有助于人们发展人际关系、满足感、感恩、个人能力和随机应变能力。

　　An emerging field of psychology called Post-Traumatic Growth has suggested that many people are able to use their hardships and traumas for substantial creative and intellectual development. Specifically, researchers have found that trauma can help people grow in the areas of interpersonal relationships, contentment, gratitude, personal strength, and resourculness.

　　我们可能将这个世界看作是一个安全或者其他类型的地方，一旦这种世界观破碎，我们将不得不重新树立对外界的观点。我们突然有机会像新生儿一样，从崭新的角度来看待外面的世界。而这种经历有利于个人成长和长期成功。

　　When our view of the world as a safe place, or as a certain type of place, has been shattered, we are forced to reboot our perspective on things. We suddenly have the opportunity to look out to the periphery and see things with a new, fresh set of beginner’s eyes, which is very conducive to personal growth and long-term success.
