Some people go through life standing at the excuse counter. 

    有些人是陪伴著借口度過一生的。 

    People say they'd like to do this or that, but . . . then they offer all the excuses in the world why they can't do whatever 'it' is. No matter what the excuses are, the only thing usually limiting them is their own self-perception. 

    有人會說，他喜歡這喜歡那，但是……于是便給出他所能找到的各種理由來解釋他為什么沒能去做這些事。但無論是什么借口，通常唯一能限制他們的只有他們的自我認知。 

    If I've learned anything, I've learned a person - any person - can do just about anything they set their mind to do. The only thing you need is a willingness to work for what you want, patience to learn what you need to know, and just a little bit of belief in yourself. The most important of these is belief in yourself, but you only need a seed. Your faith in yourself will grow with you as you move forward. 

    如果說我確實明白了一些事情，那就是一個人，任何一個人，所能做到的就是他專心一意去做的事。你唯一需要的只有為愿望而努力的意志、學習所需知識的耐心和一點點自信，其中最重要的就是自信。你只需播下一粒種子，自信就會隨著你的進步而成長壯大。 

    If your self-perception is that you can't accomplish something because you're not smart enough, then take the time to learn what you need to know and your self-perception will change. 

    如果你的自我認知是你因不夠聰明而不能完成某件事情，那么就花時間去學習你所需要的知識，這樣，你的自我認知就會改變。 

    If your self-perception is that you can't accomplish something because you never finish anything you start, then go finish something and change your self-perception. 

    如果你的自我認知是你是因做事常半途而廢而不能完成某件事情，那么就去做完它，改變這種自我認知。

    If your self-perception is that you're too lazy, too busy, too unworthy, too unfocused, too depressed, too dependent on others, too anything to accomplish great things, then you're right. You are that because you believe that, but you can change that!

    如果你的自我認知是你是因太懶惰、太忙、太卑微、太不專心、太消沉、太依賴別人，太這太那而不能做成大事，那么你是對的，你確實是這樣；因為你自己就是這樣認為的，但又不能改變這種狀態(tài)。 

    Life is change, and the past doesn't equal the future. Your reality today is the result of your past beliefs and actions. Change your beliefs and actions and you change your future. If you think you can or you can't, you're right. You are what you think. 

    生活無時無刻不在變化，過去不等于將來。你的現(xiàn)在是你過去的信念和行動的必然結果。只有改變舊的信念和行動才能改變你的將來。如果你認為你能或不能，那么你是對的。你就是你的所思所想的外在反映。

    Think about that the next time you need an excuse. 

    想一想，下次你又會找什么借口。
