在成為他們之前，請先成為你自己。
You want to be like the famous actor, Brad Pitt.
你希望成為像布拉德皮特那樣知名的演員。
You want to be like the talented basketball player, Lebron James.
你希望成為像勒布朗·詹姆斯那樣的天才籃球運動員。
You want to be like the brilliant innovator, Bill Gates.
你希望成為像比爾蓋茨那樣傑出的創新先鋒。
Some of you right now, you want to be like these people, you want to be on their level.
Listen to me: You can’t get to that level. You can’t get to that level until you start to invest in your mind.
此時此刻，你們當中的一些人希望成為他們那樣的人，希望達到他們那樣的高度。聽我一句吧：你到不了那樣的高度，除非你開始修煉自己的內心。
I dare you to invest in your mind in your OWN innovation
有膽你就以獨有的方式修煉自己的心靈。
I dare you to invest time in your own in your talent
有膽你就在你擅長的領域潛心鑽研。
I dare you to be alone.
有膽你就耐住獨處的寂寞。
I dare you to spend an HOUR alone to get to know yourself.
有膽你就一個人花上一小時來了解自己。
You’ve spent so much time with other people. You’ve spent SO MUCH TIME trying to get people to like you, you know other people more than you know yourself! You’ve studied them, you know about them, you want to hang out like them, you want to be JUST LIKE THEM! And you know what? You’ve invested SO MUCH TIME IN THEM, you don’t even know who you are!
你浪費了太多時間在別人身上，浪費了太多時間讓別人來喜歡你，你對別人的瞭解甚至比自己還要多！你研究他們，瞭解他們，你想和他們一樣酷，想變得和他們一模一樣。可是你知道嗎？你花了太多精力在他們身上，甚至不知道自己是誰了。
I challenge YOU to spend time by yourself.
我向你發出挑戰:學會獨處。
But for people who are chasing their dreams, life has a special sort of meaning. When you become the “right person,” what you do is you start separating yourself from other people. You begin to have a certain uniqueness. As long as you follow other people, as long as you’re being a copy-cat, you will NEVER EVER BE the best copy-cat in the world.
但對追逐夢想的人來説，人生有一種特殊的意義。當你成為了那個“對的人”，你就會把自己從別人身上剝離。你開始擁有獨一無二的特質。一旦你追隨他人的腳步，一旦你成了別人的模仿者，你就永遠不會成為最棒的模仿者。
I challenge you to define your value.
我向你發出挑戰：衡量自己的價值。
Not everyone will see it. Not everyone will join you. Not everyone will have the vision. It’s NECESSARY to know that. You are an uncommon breed! It’s necessary that you align yourself with people and attract people into your business – people who are hungry. People who are unstoppable and unreasonable. People who refuse to leave life just as it is and who want more!
並不是所有人都會看清你的價值，不是所有人會和你一樣，有那樣的眼光。知道這一點很重要。也許在他們眼裏，你就是個怪咖！你必須和那些富有激情的人交友，吸引他們加入你的行列。那些人勢不可擋，甚至有些不可理喻，他們不願苟且度日，渴望更精彩的人生！
The people who are living their dreams are the people who know that if it’s gonna happen, it’s up to them.
If you wanna be successful, if you wanna have and do stuff you’ve never done before…
那些心懷夢想的人明白想要夢想成真，只有依靠自己。如果你想要成功，如果你想要做之前從未體驗過的事情……
I challenge you to invest in YOU.
那麼我向你發出挑戰：修煉自己。
Someone’s opinion of you does NOT have to become your reality. You don’t have to go through life being a victim. And even though you face disappointments, you must know within yourself, that you can do this. Even if no one helps you see to it, you must see it for yourself.
別人對你的評價不一定就會成真，你也不必成為這些言語的受害者。即使面對失敗，你內心深處也要明白，自己可以做到。即使沒有人幫助你搞明白這一點，也必須相信自己。
I challenge you to get to a place where people do not like or do not even bother you anymore. Why?
我向你發出挑戰：變成別人不會喜歡，甚至不屑一顧的樣子。為什麼？
Because you’re not concerned with making them happy anyway. Because you’re trying to blow up. You’re trying to get to the next level. Because you’re investing in your mind.
因為你的存在本來就不是為了取悦他人。因為你正努力蜕變，到達下一個高度。因為你正自我修煉着。
If you’re still talking about your dream, if you’re still talking about your goals, but you have not done anything, JUST TAKE THE FIRST STEP!
如果你還有夢想，還有目標，但還沒有付諸行動的話，那就邁出你的第一步吧！
You can make your parents proud, you can make your school proud, you can touch millions of lives and the world will never be the same again, because you came this way.
你的父母，你的母校會為你感到驕傲，你會影響眾人，改變世界，就因為你的行動。
Don’t let anybody steal your dream. You may fail, and fail, and fail again. But you’re still looking at your dream, reviewing it everyday and saying to yourself…
不要讓任何人偷走你的夢想。你也許會一次又一次的跌倒，但你仍然抬頭仰望着自己的夢想，對自己説……
“It’s not over until I win.”
“還沒有勝利，這就不算結局。”
You can live your dream.
你能夠成就自己的夢想。
