I recently received an e-mail from the motivational speaker and real estate investor Paul LeJoy. He's been wildly successful in real estate sales and has mentored and worked with dozens of entrepreneurs.

最近我收到一封來自勵(lì)志演說家兼房地產(chǎn)投資者雷喬-保羅的電子郵件。他在房地產(chǎn)銷售方面相當(dāng)成功。他指導(dǎo)過許多企業(yè)家，也和他們共事過。

In his e-mail, LeJoy identified eight pitfalls that lie athwart every pathway to success. His thoughts were so deep and insightful that I edited them and condensed them:

在他的郵件里，雷喬指出了會(huì)出現(xiàn)在通往成功道路上的8個(gè)絆腳石。他的想法非常深刻且有洞察力，于是我將它們加以濃縮編輯成文：

1. Timidity

膽怯

Every path to success begins with a great idea. There's only one problem: Great ideas are a dime a dozen. What really matters when it comes to becoming a success is not having the idea but having the courage to transform that idea into reality. This usually means a risk of losing the security of a regular job and risking a steady paycheck. Only the brave ever overcome this first of the pitfalls.

每條成功之路都源于一個(gè)偉大的想法。唯一的問題是：偉大的想法遍地都是。對于成功而言，真正重要的并不是擁有這個(gè)想法，而是有勇氣把這個(gè)想法變成現(xiàn)實(shí)。通常這意味著風(fēng)險(xiǎn)：失去穩(wěn)定的工作，還有失去固定的工資。只有勇敢者才能越過這第一個(gè)絆腳石。

2. Laziness

懶惰

Even with a great idea and the courage to pursue it, your efforts will be for naught unless you're willing to take massive action. Write down your goals and (more important) the action steps you'll take to pursue those goals. Post your vision and plan in your bedroom, bathroom, office. Share it with others, so they'll hold you accountable for delivering on your plan. Make yourself accountable and become the master of your destiny.

即使有了偉大的想法，也有勇氣去追求，但除非你愿意采取大量的行動(dòng)，否則你的努力還是徒勞無功。寫下你的目標(biāo)，更重要的是寫下你為實(shí)現(xiàn)目標(biāo)所采取的行動(dòng)步驟。把你的愿景和計(jì)劃做成海報(bào)貼在你的臥室、衛(wèi)生間和辦公室里。與他人分享，這樣他們將督促你實(shí)現(xiàn)你的計(jì)劃。對自己負(fù)責(zé)，讓自己成為命運(yùn)的主人。

3. Complacency

自滿

Without passion, even the most compelling vision will wither on the vine. Without passion, your energy and enthusiasm will flag when you encounter inevitable obstacles. Make your passion into an almost physical characteristic of your personality, an inexorable force that keeps you engaged every moment of every workday, bringing you one step closer to the measure of success that you desire.

沒有激情，即使是最激動(dòng)人心的愿景也將無果而終。沒有激情，當(dāng)你遇到不可避免的阻礙時(shí)，你的能量和熱情也將煙消云散。讓你的激情成為你個(gè)性中的一部分，讓你的激情成為一股不可抵擋的力量，帶著它去迎接每一天每一刻，讓你向著渴望的成功更近一步。

4. Distraction

分心

The modern world clamors  for your attention in ever-louder ways, a deluge that can distract you from your course. It takes self-discipline to persevere amidst the noise and haste, to assert your willpower over casual desires and instincts. Channel your emotions, behavior, and desires toward obtaining the reward of success. Remember: Living a life of self-discipline is less painful in the long run than regretting "what might have been."

在現(xiàn)代社會(huì)里，各種喧鬧擾亂著你的心緒，像洪水般沖蕩著自己的進(jìn)程。在嘈雜和匆忙中，你要堅(jiān)持就需要自律，用你的意志力戰(zhàn)勝隨意的欲望和本能。調(diào)節(jié)你的情緒、行為和欲望以求獲得成功的獎(jiǎng)賞。記住：從長遠(yuǎn)來看，自律的生活，會(huì)比起生活在“也許會(huì)有另一番人生”的悔恨中要少一些苦痛。

5. Doubt

懷疑

Once you've made a decision, doubt is a worm that eats away at your ability to succeed. Life and work can be hard and even cruel. Remember, the race is not for the swift but rather those who persevere. Rather than allowing doubt to seep in and poison your process, you owe it to yourself to remain confident in your vision and your plan. Adapt as needed along the way,but always know that success will ultimately be yours.

一旦你做了決定，懷疑就像一種蠕蟲病毒，它會(huì)侵蝕你實(shí)現(xiàn)成功的能力。生活和工作可能會(huì)艱辛，甚至是殘酷。記住，這場比賽比的不是快，比的是誰更能堅(jiān)持。不要讓懷疑滲入和毒害你，你要對你的愿景和計(jì)劃保持信心，這是由你決定的。在前進(jìn)的路上根據(jù)需要進(jìn)行調(diào)整，堅(jiān)信成功最終是屬于你的。

6. Disconnection

孤立

The old sayings "no man is an island" and "there's strength in numbers" may sound corny, but that doesn't make them any less true. Even with self-discipline, in the long run, you'll need contact with kindred spirits and mentors. Meeting regularly can be a great boost to your morale and provide new perspectives on your approach. The Internet makes it extraordinarily easy to find a coach, mentor, or mastermind group that can provide the emotional support, experience, and wisdom to help turn your vision into reality.

“沒有人是與世隔絕的孤島”和“人多力量大” 這兩句俗語可能聽起來毫無新意，但這絲毫不能影響到它的正確性。從長遠(yuǎn)來看，即使有了自律，你還需要和親近的精神領(lǐng)袖和導(dǎo)師進(jìn)行交流。常常和他們見面可以大大提升你的斗志，并為你的處理方法提供新的視角。互聯(lián)網(wǎng)使得我們非常容易就找到教練、導(dǎo)師或智囊團(tuán)，為我們提供情感支持、經(jīng)驗(yàn)和智慧，幫助我們把夢想變成現(xiàn)實(shí)。

7. Dishonesty

不誠實(shí)

As you begin to be successful, you'll be tempted to lie, exaggerate, and deceive in order to move your agenda forward. However, taking the easy way of dishonesty has a tendency to sneak back up on you. In the end, it causes far more problems than taking the risk of telling the truth. True success comes when you are a person of your word, when you have a pure conscience, and when you have not cheated others on your way to the top.

當(dāng)你開始向成功努力時(shí)，為了不落下進(jìn)度，你就會(huì)撒謊、夸大或是欺騙。然而，這種不誠實(shí)往往也會(huì)讓自己嘗到惡果。到最后，比起冒險(xiǎn)說出實(shí)情，它會(huì)引起更多的問題。在通往成功的路上，當(dāng)你言行一致，當(dāng)你有一顆純潔的心靈，當(dāng)你不去欺騙他人，真正的成功就來了。

8. Ingratitude

忘恩負(fù)義

The final pitfall is by far the most dangerous, because it's so easy to miss. When your vision becomes a reality, you arestill a failure if you cannot remember your humble beginnings or recognize the contributions of those who helped you along the way. Remember: There is no such thing as a self-made billionaire. If you can't experience gratitude, you might as well have stayed exactly where you started.

最后一道陷阱是最危險(xiǎn)的，因?yàn)槲覀兒苋菀族e(cuò)過它。當(dāng)你的遠(yuǎn)景成為現(xiàn)實(shí)以后，如果你忘了剛開始時(shí)的謙卑態(tài)度，或是不予肯定一路來幫助你的人所做出的貢獻(xiàn)，你仍然是一個(gè)失敗者。記?。禾煜聸]有人靠自己就能成為百萬富翁的。如果你沒有一顆感恩的心，也許你還是待在你最初起步的地方好了。
