Now is the magic word of success. --- David J. Schwartz
现在是个具有魔力的成功的字眼.
I'll use the "get ready" time and energy to get going instead.
--- David J. Schwartz
我要把用来"准备"的时间和精力用于行动.
Some goals are so worthy, it's glorious even to fail.
有些目标如此值得追求,即使失败也辉煌壮丽。
Nature gives you the face you have at twenty; it is up to you to merit the face you have at fifty. --- Coco Chanel
二十岁的面容是大自然的赋予;五十岁的容貌全靠自己的努力。
No matter how many times they are defeated, they finally arrive up toward the top of the ladder. Sometimes it appears that there is a hidden Guide whose duty is to test men through all sorts of discouraging experiences. Those who pick themselves up after defeat and keep on trying, arrive; and the world cries, “Bravo! I knew you could do it!” The hidden Guide lets no one enjoy great achievement without passing the persistence test. Those who can’t take it simply do not make the grade.
Those who can “take it” are bountifully rewarded for their persistence. They receive, as their compensation, whatever goal they are pursuing. That is not all! They receive something infinitely more important than material compensation—the knowledge that “every failure brings with it the seed of an equivalent advantage.” --- Napoleon Hill
