英语美文：Live like a bamboo

They said do what most do. They said don't take risks. They said most fail. They said, play it safe. I said, no. Then they asked how I do what most don't and have what most will never have. I didn't get this far by doing what most do. I didn't get this far by taking advice from people who can't sort out their own life. 
人们都说，大多数人做什么，你就做什么。人们说，不要冒险。人们说，大多数人都会失败。人们说，做事要稳妥。我说，不。我做的事情，是大多数人不敢做的，我得到的成果，是大多数人得不到的。因此，人们问我，你是如何做到的？要是我随大流，做大多数人做的事，那我就不会拥有今天的成就。有些人，他们连自己都没活明白，要是我听了他们的意见，我就走不到今天。

You'll never get far in life doing what the majority do. If you want what the minority have, model what the minority do, and do it better. Do it your way. 

在人生中，如果你做大多数人做的事，那么你就不会走得很远。有些东西，只有少数人才能拥有，而如果你也想拥有这些，那你就要向这一小部分人学习，去做他们做的事，而且要比他们做得更好，以你自己的方式去做事。

Great things come to those who give great effort. Miracles come to those who believe in miracles. The impossible can only be achieved by those who believe anything is possible. Push yourself to those heights. Think bigger. Believe bigger. Dream bigger. And work harder. 
那些付出巨大努力的人，也会收获巨大的成就。那些相信奇迹的人，也会收获奇迹。只有那些相信一切皆有可能的人，才能获得别人认为不可能实现的成就。督促自己，向他们看齐。大胆地思考，大胆地相信，大胆地做梦，努力地奋斗。
