I will persist until I succeed.

堅(jiān)持不懈。直到成功。

In the Orient young bulls are tested for the fight arena in a certain manner. Each is brought to the ring and allowed to attack a picador who pricks them with a lance. The bravery of each bull is then rated with care according to the number of times he demonstrates his willingness to charge in spite of the sting of the blade. Henceforth will I recognize that each day I am tested by life in like manner. If I persist, if I continue to try, if I continue to charge forward, I will succeed.

在古老的東方，挑選小公牛列競技場(chǎng)格斗有一定的程序、它們被帶進(jìn)場(chǎng)地，向手持長矛的斗牛士攻擊，裁判以它受激后再向斗牛士進(jìn)攻的次數(shù)多寡來評(píng)定這只公牛的勇敢程度。從今往后。我須承認(rèn)，我的生命每天都在接受類似的考驗(yàn)。如果我堅(jiān)韌不拔，勇往直前，迎接挑戰(zhàn)。那么我一定會(huì)成功。

I will persist until I succeed.

堅(jiān)持不懈。直到成功。

I was not delivered unto this world in defeat, nor does failure course in my veins. I am not a sheep waiting to be prodded by my shepherd. I am a lion and I refuse to talk, to walk, to sleep with the sheep. I will hear not those who weep and complain, for their disease is contagious. Let them join the sheep. The slaughterhouse of failure is not my destiny.

我不是為了失敗才來到這個(gè)世界上的，我的血管里也沒有失敗的血液在流動(dòng)。我不是任人鞭打的羔羊，我是猛獅，不與羊群為伍。我不想聽失意者的哭泣，抱怨者的牢騷，這是羊群中的瘟疫，我不能被它傳染。失敗者的屠宰場(chǎng)不是我命運(yùn)的歸宿。

I will persist until I succeed.

堅(jiān)持不懈，直到成功。

The prizes of life are at the end of each journey, not near the beginning; and it is not given to me to know how many steps are necessary in order to reach my goal. Failure I may still encounter at the thousandth step, yet success hides behind the next bend in the road. Never will I know how close it lies unless I turn the corner.

生命的獎(jiǎng)賞遠(yuǎn)在旅途終點(diǎn)，而非起點(diǎn)附近。我不知道要走多少步才能達(dá)到目標(biāo)。踏上第一千步的時(shí)候，仍然可能遭到失敗。但成功就藏在拐角后面，除非拐了彎，我永遠(yuǎn)不知道還有多遠(yuǎn)。

Always will I take another step. If that is of no avail I will take another, and yet another. In truth, one step at a time is not too difficult.

再前進(jìn)一步，如果沒有用，就再向前一步。事實(shí)上，每次進(jìn)步一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)并不太難。

I will persist until I succeed.

堅(jiān)持不懈，直到成功。

Henceforth, I will consider each day's effort as but one blow of my blade against a mighty oak. The first blow may cause not a tremor in the wood, nor the second, nor the third. Each blow, of itself, may be trifling, and seem of no consequence. Yet from childish swipes the oak will eventually tumble. So it will be with my efforts of today.

從今往后，我承認(rèn)每天的奮斗就像對(duì)參天大樹的一次砍擊，頭幾刀可能了無痕跡。每一擊者似微不足道，然而，累積起來，巨樹終會(huì)倒下。這恰如我今天的努力。

I will be liken to the raindrop which washes away the mountain; the ant who devours a tiger; the star which brightens the earth; the slave who builds a pyramid. I will build my castle one brick at a time for I know that small attempts, repeated, will complete any undertaking.

就像沖洗高山的雨滴，吞噬猛虎的螞蟻，照亮大地的星辰，建起金字塔的奴隸，我也要一磚一瓦地建造起自己的城堡，因?yàn)槲疑钪问┑牡览恚灰种院悖裁炊伎梢宰龅健?

I will persist until I succeed.

堅(jiān)持不懈，直到成功。

I will never consider defeat and I will remove from my vocabulary such words and phrases as quit, cannot, unable, impossible, out of the question, improbable, failure, unworkable, hopeless, and retreat; for they are the words of fools. I will avoid despair but if this disease of the mind should infect me then I will work on in despair. I will toil and I will endure. I will ignore the obstacles at my feet and keep mine eyes on the goals above my head, for I know that where dry desert ends, green grass grows.

我絕不考慮失敗，我的字典里不再有放棄，不可能、辦不到、沒法子、成問題、失敗，行不通、沒希望、退縮…這類愚蠢的字眼。我要盡量避免絕望，一旦受到它的威脅，立即想方設(shè)法向它挑戰(zhàn)。我要辛勤耕耘，忍受苦楚。我放眼未來，勇往直前，不再理會(huì)腳下的障礙。我堅(jiān)信，沙漠盡頭必是綠洲。

I will persist until I succeed.

堅(jiān)持不懈，直到成功。

I will remember the ancient law of averages and I will bend it to my good. I will persist with knowledge that each failure to sell will increase my chance for success at the next attempt. Each nay I hear will bring me closer to the sound of yea. Each frown I meet only prepares me for the smile to come. Each misfortune I encounter will carry in it the seed of tomorrow's good luck. I must have the night to appreciate the day. I must fail often to succeed only once.

我要牢牢記住古老的平衡法則，鼓勵(lì)自己堅(jiān)持下去，因?yàn)槊恳淮蔚氖《紩?huì)增加下一次成功的機(jī)會(huì)。這一次的拒絕就是下一次的贊同，這一次皺起的眉頭就是下一次舒展的笑容。今天的不幸，往往預(yù)示著明天的好運(yùn)。夜幕降臨。回想一天的遭遇。我總是心存感激。我深知，只有失敗多次，才能成功。

I will persist until I succeed.

堅(jiān)持不懈，直到成功。

I will try, and try, and try again. Each obstacle I will consider as a mere detour to my goal and a challenge to my profession. I will persist and develop my skills as the mariner develops his, by learning to ride out the wrath of each storm.

我要嘗試，嘗試，再嘗試。障礙是我成功路上的彎路，我迎接這項(xiàng)挑戰(zhàn)。我要像水手一樣，乘風(fēng)破浪。

I will persist until I succeed.

堅(jiān)持不懈，直到成功。

Henceforth, I will learn and apply another secret of those who excel in my work. When each day is ended, not regarding whether it has been a success or a failure, I will attempt to achieve one more sale. When my thoughts beckon my tired body homeward I will resist the temptation to depart. I will try again. I will make one more attempt to close with victory, and if that fails I will make another. Never will I allow any day to end with a failure. Thus will I plant the seed of tomorrow's success and gain an insurmountable advantage over those who cease their labor at a prescribed time. When others cease their struggle, the mine will begin, and my harvest will be full.

從今往后，我要借鑒別人成功的秘訣。過去的是非成敗，我全不計(jì)較，只抱定信念，明天會(huì)更好。當(dāng)我精疲力歇時(shí)，我要抵制回家的誘惑，再試一次。我一試再試。爭取每一天的成功，避免以失敗收?qǐng)觥Ｎ乙獮槊魈斓某晒ΣシN，超過那些按部就班的人。在別人停滯不前時(shí)，我繼續(xù)拼搏，終有一天我會(huì)豐收。“

I will persist until I succeed.

堅(jiān)持不懈，直到成功。

Nor will I allow yesterday's success to lull me into today's complacency, for this is the great foundation of failure. I will forget the happenings of the day that is gone, whether they were good or bad, and greet the new sun with confidence that this will be the best day of my life.

我不因昨日的成功而滿足，因?yàn)檫@是失敗的先兆。我要忘卻昨日的一切，是好是壞，都讓它隨風(fēng)而去。我信心百倍，迎接新的太陽，相信“今天是此生最好的一天”。

So long as there is breath in me, that long will I persist. For now I know one of the greatest principles of success; if I persist long enough I will win.

只要我一息尚存，就要堅(jiān)持到底，因?yàn)槲乙焉钪晒Φ拿卦E。

I will persist. I will win.

堅(jiān)持不懈，終會(huì)成功。
