5 Important Elements Of Success People Seldom Mention
You might be expecting me to write something basic about patience,
integrity, humility, honesty, discipline, and other qualities that might make up
a successful person. If you’re looking for an article like that, you’ll find
them everywhere. This article is different. It’s not meant to talk about one
word or one quality of successful people in a generic sense and re-define what
those things mean for you. This articles purpose is to help you re-define what
your personal success is and how you define yourself.
你可能会希望我写一些基本的关于耐心、正直、谦卑、诚实、纪律和其他品质的这样可能塑造出一个成功人士的东西。如果你在寻找这样的文章，你会发现遍地都是。这篇文章不同。这篇文章不打算谈论一个词或是一个广泛意义上的品质，而是要重新定义那些东西对你的意义。这篇文章的目的在于帮助你重新定义个人成功以及怎样定义自己。
There are elements of success people seldom mention, and sometimes those
things have nothing to do with the present or the individual. Below, feel free
to read about those five elements.
有些成功因素很少被人们提及，而且有时这些东西与当前或个人无关。下面，请随意阅读这5个因素。
1.Your job isn’t your success.
你的工作并不就是你的成功。
You are your success, and what you’re successful in will vary. It doesn’t
have to be your job. It could be your family, it could be your volunteer work,
or your community service. Success is multi-faceted. In addition, your job may
not be a direct reflection of you, your greatest strengths, or the best use of
your time. Your job might not enable you to contribute to the world in a way you
would like, yet so many people define themselves by their jobs, or their next
big promotion. Success is a lifestyle and an attitude.
你就是你的成功，而且你能在各种领域成功。而不是必须是你的工作。可能是你的家庭，可能是你的志愿工作，或是你的社区服务。成功是多方位的。另外，你的工作可能不会直接反映你，反映你最大的优势，或反映你对时间的最有效利用。你的工作可能不会让你以自己想用的方式为世界作出贡献，然而许多人只是用他们的工作，或是接下来职位的大升迁来定义自己。成功是一种生活方式和一种态度。
2.Failure is going to happen to you. Just because you fail at something,
doesn’t mean you are a failure.
失败就要发生在你身上。你只是在某件事上失败了，这并不意味着你就是一个失败者
I’ve only failed one class in my life: geometry. I did my best, and I tried
hard, enrolling in tutoring and after school classes to help boost my grade.
Failing, I thought, would be unacceptable and earth-shattering. I thought I’d be
too embarrassed to ever be able to discuss it, l and yet here I am. Do you know
what I learned? I learned it wasn’t the end of the world. I learned what I
wasn’t good at. I learned where I was weak and I used those insights to make
myself stronger and better educated about myself.
我一生中只挂过一门学科：几何。我尽力了，我努力尝试过，上辅导班和课后辅导来帮助提高我的成绩。我曾想，失败是不可接受的，是一件大事。我曾认为我永远不会谈论这件事，因为它会让我很尴尬，然而现在我在这。你知道我学到了什么?我学到这不是世界末日。我学到了我过去不擅长的。我学到了我的弱点在哪，然后通过这些领悟让我自己变得更强，得到更好的教育。
Failure is nothing more than useful feedback. You don’t have to be the best
at everything to be the best at something. Sometimes we learn from the things we
do poorly or the things we fail to do moreso than the things we excel in.
失败不过是有用的反馈。你不必每件事做到最好，只需要在一些事情上做到最好。有些时候我们从我们做的不好的事情或失败的事情中学到的东西远比我们做擅长的事情中多。
3.People will always see your successes. They may never know about your
sacrifices.
人们总是看到你的成功,他们可能永远不知道你的牺牲。
There will always be people who think you had it easy. There were always be
people who identify with you and think you had it rough. They are both wrong,
and the answer is usually somewhere in the middle and defined by the individual.
The truth of the matter is, no one else is going to really know how much you had
to give up or overcome to get to where you are. It’s easy to think being
successful is easy when the version of you people are seeing is the person who
made it through the storm.
总会有人认为你是很容易成功的。也总会有人认同你，认为你是艰难成功的。他们都错了，答案通常是折中的而且由个人定义。事情的真相是，没有人真正打算弄明白你究竟放弃了多少东西或克服了多少困难才到达现在这个位置。人们很容易认为你的成功轻而易举，直到他们看到你穿越暴风雨才获得成功的版本。
When push comes to shove, their opinions don’t matter. What matters is what
you think and feel about yourself. When you feel good about yourself and your
own unique purpose in life, everything falls into place.
当事态严重时，他们的观点并不重要。重要的是你对自己的想法和感觉。当生活中你对自己和独特的目的感觉良好时，事实就会慢慢呈现。
4.There are people who aren’t going to think you’re successful, no matter
what you think of yourself or how you feel.
有些人永远不会认为你是成功的，不管你怎么看待自己或自己感觉如何。
Ignore people like this. They are usually miserable themselves. There will
always be people who like to gossip or speak poorly of someone else trying to
get by and follow their dreams. People will tell you your goals are stupid, your
dreams are unrealistic, and the money won’t follow. Sometimes they are right,
and sometimes they are wrong. The only thing that matters is that you don’t base
your final choices off of them.
无视这样的人。他们通常会让自己痛苦。总有喜欢说闲话或刻薄的谈论别人以获取和追随别人梦想的人。他们会告诉你你的目标是愚蠢的，你的梦想是不切实际的，不会挣到钱。有时他们是对的，有时他们是错的。唯一重要的事情就是不要依据他们的话做出最终选择。
5. Sometimes it’s about who you know.
有时是关于你知道的人
In some respects, certain types of success have to do more with who you
know as opposed to how hard you work, hustle, or study. Many people will tell
you so long as you work hard, anything is possible, and while anything being
possible is true, it isn’t always probable. Sometimes people have a better time,
or easier time because they have good mentors or they knew the right people or
joined the right clubs or had the right connections. Sometimes success is a
collaborative effort, not just something we become on our own.
在某些方面，某些类型的成功更多要做的是和你知道的人一起做，而不是自己如何努力工作、繁忙或者学习。许多人会告诉你只要你一直努力，任何事都有可能成功。有时人们会过得更好，或更加轻松，这是因为他们有好的导师或他们知道合适的人或者加入了合适的俱乐部或者有着合适的联系。有时候成功是一起合作努力的结果，而不只是我们凭自己来做的某件事。
