白大拿的超级励志人生-从酒店门童到UFC总裁

I didn't grow up with money. We weren't rich by any means. But I knew I wasn't going to college. I knew that wasn't reality and I didn't really want to go to college. One of the things that I was very lucky in my life with is I knew exactly what I wanted to do.

我并非出生富贵，跟有钱人也完全扯不上边，但是我知道我不打算上大学。我知道这不是我所要的现实，我并不想上大学。我人生中非常幸运的是，我清楚地知道我想要什么。

From the time I was a young age I knew I wanted to be in the fight business and people thought I was crazy. I worked in Boston at a place called the Boston Harbor Hotel. I was a bellman in there. I was 19 years old. I made good money. You know, there're some guys who get those jobs and those are the type of jobs they know they are lifers. They want those jobs forever.

从小时候起，我就知道我想要参与格斗事业。别人都说我疯了。那时我在波士顿工作，在波士顿海港酒店，我在那里当个接待服务员。那时我19岁，收入还不错。有些人在这里工作，他们就打算终身从事这一份工作。

It's a good job. It's not a bad job. Just wasn't for me and I was literally standing in the lobby one day and I'm like "What the hell am I doing here? What am I doing here? This isn't me. This isn't what I want."

这工作挺好，就是份不差的工作，只是不适合我。有天站在酒店大堂，我心想：“我究竟是在这里做什么？我在这里干嘛？这不是我。这不是我想要的。”

And I walked out the front door and one of my good friends, he's still one of my good friends today, said "What are you doing?" I said "I'm quitting." 

然后我走出大堂，我其中一个好朋友，他到今天还是我的好友之一，他说“你在做什么？”我回答说“我决定辞职。”

When you get out of bed every morning, right, you get up out of bed, life is right standing there to kick you in the face. Ready, leg cocked, ready to go, to kick you in the face. Cause everyday when you get up, bad shits coming at you.

每天当你起床的时候，你一起床，生活就已经站在你面前，准备往你的脸上踹一脚。准备好，起脚，随时准备好，往你的脸狠狠地踹一脚。因为每天你起床的时候，一坨狗屎马上就来了。

Forget about work, your personal life, everything. Cars don't start and this and that. Life is ready to get you. You know and you got to get up and you got to fight through that bullshit everyday. You have to. You got to fight through all the shit that life throws at you, then you get to a point where life's throwing a bunch of shit at you. Now works throwging a bunch of shit at you, you know, your business. That you have to fight for everyday and you have to get up. And you have to have that to get up and fight everyday, man.

先别提工作，你的私人生活，所有事情。车子引擎开动不了，这样那样的事情。生活准备好对付你，你懂的，你每天起床，都需要跟些狗屁的事情斗争。你必须要跟这些生活抛向你的狗屎斗争。然后到一个阶段，生活向你抛够狗屎了。就轮到工作也开始向你抛狗屎，你懂的，你的业务，你每天需要跟他们斗争。你需要站起来，你要有那个（斗志），每天起身来斗争，老兄。

Go for it. Just go for it. Believe me, I'm living proof that it can happen.

放手去做，尽管放手去做。相信我，我就是活生生成功的例子。

First of all, when you have a business idea, there's always gonna be detractors and people that think, you know, it won't work. You're always gonna have those people around you and in your life. Even when you're successful, believe me, it gets worse when you're successful.

首先，当你有了做生意的想法，身边总会有人贬低你，你懂得，他们总是说，这行不通的。在你一生中，身边总会有这样的人，即使你已经成功了，相信我，当你成功后情况只会变得更糟。

Anything you do positive in your life and anything that's huge, it will immediately be surrounded by negativity,right? Immediately. Get ready for it because no matter how successful you become, one thing never goes away, negativity. Their opinion means nothing. It is literally in the opinion. It's negative bullshit. That means nothing to you. It doesn't mean anything. It doesn't affect unless you're the type of sick, twisted type of person like me that like to let it fuel you. It's like you're, you know it's like your fuel and other than that, it's useless. It means nothing.

你在生命中做任何一件积极的事情，任何一件大事，你立刻会被否定的声音包围，对吗？立刻。你要准备好，因为无论你做得多么成功，有一件事是永远离不开的，否定的声音。他们的意见对你来说是毫无意义的。他们的意见简直就是狗屎。它是无关紧要的，也不能影响你，除非你是那种像我这样病态的人格扭曲的家伙，喜欢让这种声音刺激你的斗志，就好像是，就像是你的刺激因素。除此之外，毫无意义，是无关紧要的。

Do your thing. Stay on your course, stay focused and keep your eye on the prize and everything comes together. If you're looking for money, you're the wrong place already. You're not in the right place. I can't stand three-day weekends. I hate three-day weekends, man. I'm like I want Monday to come again. That's how much I love what I do.

做你自己的事情，保持在原来的轨道上，保持专注，把重心放在完成后的奖励上。 如果你只是一直想着找钱，那么你就错了，你没有站在正确的位置上。我不能忍受连着三天的周末，我讨厌连假的周末，老兄。我只希望星期一赶快到来，这是我热爱工作的程度。

If that's not your mentality every weekend when you're at home like you're dreading Monday, man stop, stop and get another job. Cuz you're at the wrong place. That's not healthy for you. At the end of the day, it's really about that you love what you're doing and it's about the journey, the people you're doing with it. that you're having fun. You're getting up everyday and you're all working towards the same goal whatever it might be. It's a very fulfilling feeling. It really is a very fulfilling feeling.

如果这不是你周末在家时会有的心理状态，如果你害怕星期一的到来，老兄，停下来，停下来去找其它的工作。因为你在错的地方，这对你来说不健康。最终，这是关于你是否热爱你在做的事，是关于你的人生旅程，关于跟你一起共事的人，你是否开心。关于你每天起身，你们往共同目标前进，无论是什么目标也好，这是很有满足感的事情，真的让你很有满足感。

Because I've been where most people have been. I've been in the shitty job that you're just trying to pay your bills and you're trying to make ends meet and you're miserable...You're doing it because you have to do it, because you have to pay your bills, because you need money. Once you break out of that you find what it is you truly love to do, it's really not work. It's actually fun and you enjoy everyday of your life.

因为我试过像大多数人一样，我做过很糟糕的工作，你只想付清账单，靠微薄的收入为生，感觉自己很悲惨。你所做的一切都是因为你必须得做，因为需要还清账单，因为你需要钱。一旦你突破这种困境，你会找到你真正热爱的工作。这对你来说其实不是工作，而是很开心的事，然后你每天都在享受生活。

From what I've learned as I look back on my llife, everything in life is about timing. It really is about timing, the right time, the right place, the right everything and I also believe that you create your own timing in life too.

从我学到的回看我的一生，生命中的一切都是时间的安排。这真是对的时间，对的地方，对的一切。我也相信，你能够创造属于你自己的时机。

What's the worst thing that can happen if you try？ If the day that I walked out of that hotel, right? And I went to do this, it doesn't work out. I can go back and be a bellman again whenever I want to. You can always go back and do that. The worst part is not trying, you have to try. Nobody's ever gonna do anything without trying.

你认为 如果去尝试最坏的结果会是什么？那天当我离开酒店的时候，然后我去做这个事情，如果成不了，我可以再回去当个门童，随时都可以。你随时都可以走回头路。最糟糕的是，你没去尝试，你必须要去尝试。不去尝试你什么也做不了。

It's never the right time. It's never the right time, it's like I can't now. I got this truck I just bought. I got payment on this freaking thing. You know I got this...If you do that to yourself, you'll never do anything! Gorget the truck, forget this, forget that. Go for it. Just go for it. Believe me, I'm living proof that it can happen.

永远没有最好的时机，永远没有最好的时机。就好像说，我现在不行，我刚买了一台货车，我需要还车贷，我还有......如果你这样对自己，你永远也成不了事。忘掉你的货车，别理这个，别理那个，放手去做，尽管放手去做。相信我，我就是活生生成功的例子。
