How to Look at a Successful Person
如何思量成功人士
What should we be thinking when we see a successful person? We should not compare ourselves to the successful person’s results. We should think through the successful person’s journey by asking questions like:
看到成功人士时，我们应该考虑哪些方面？我们不应该拿自己和他们对比，并以成败论英雄。我们应该捋清其职业旅程，方法便是询问几个类似下面的问题：
1. How did they get there?
2. How long did it take?
3. What career stages or milestones1 did they have to master to achieve this level of success?
4. What life stage are they at?
5. What barriers did they most likely experience?
6. What doubts did they most likely have?
7. How did they learn from failures and disappointments to bounce back harder, faster, smarter? Rather than feeling bad about ourselves, we must think about what made the person successful.
1. 他们是如何获得成功的？
2. 他们用了多久成功的？
3. 他们必须经历什么样的职业阶段或里程碑才达到现在的成功水平？
4. 他们的人生处于什么阶段？
5. 他们最可能经历过怎样的阻碍？
6. 他们最可能有过怎样的（自我）质疑？
7. 他们如何从失败和失意中学习，从而变得更坚强、更快速、更明智？与其自惭形秽，不如多想想别人成功的原因。
How to Become a Success Yourself
自己如何取得成功
By not comparing ourselves to successful people’s results, we can avoid the feelings of inadequacy2 or failure. When we use our inner pensieve to think through how the successful person got to where they are, we learn how to become successful ourselves by learning:
不拿自己的现状与成功人士的成就对比，这能让我们避免自卑感或失败感。当我们使用内心的冥想盆来彻底全面地考虑了成功人士的成功之路后，我们学习到如何通过取经让自己蜕变为成功人士：
● There are no shortcuts3: We can’t speed our way to success, everyone pays their dues. Every stage is necessary so we can become wiser. Each lesson builds on previous lessons.
●成功之路无捷径：欲速则不达，每个人都要努力拼搏。每一步都是必要的，我们因而变得更明智。每个教训都建立在之前的教训之上。
● If it looked easy, then it probably wasn’t: Successful people make it look easy because they learned from their mistakes and did not repeat them. Their cumulative4 knowledge from life and work experience make it look easy.
●看上去轻松，实则难办：一件事在成功人士手里看上去很轻松，是因为他们从自己的失误中学到了东西，而且不再重复犯错。他们从生活和工作中积累的经验让他们的行动看上去轻松。
●Everyone pays a price for success: Successful people are passionate5, committed people who work long hours, work by their inner compass, and know what prices to pay for success.
●每个人的成功都有代价：成功人士有激情、有奉献精神，他们加班加点，有自己的内在准则，知道要想成功就要付出怎样的代价。
● Career stages are important with logical milestones: Career and life stages follow a natural progression. We can’t speed our way from newbie to master. We have to experience everything in between these two stages.
●职业阶段相互关联，每个阶段都很重要：职业和生活阶段遵循自然前进规律。我们不能期望从新手一步跨越到大师。我们必须经历这两个阶段中的所有历练。
● Life stages are progressive: Each life stage reflects different values and we have achieved different levels of success at each stage. When you’re in your 30s, it’s unrealistic to expect successes that people naturally enjoy in their late 40s or 50s.
●人生之路渐行渐远：人生的每个阶段都折射出不同的价值，我们在每个阶段也都取得了不同程度的成功。人在三十多岁的时候，指望获得一般在四五十岁才能取得的成就是不现实的。
● Failure and disappointment are natural occurrences on the path to success: They’re a constant companion that must be managed. We must coexist with them, but not let them take us over.
●失败和失意是成功路上自然而然的事件：它们是人生的常客，一定要妥善处理好。我们必须与之共存，但不要让它们将我们压垮。
● Adversity makes us faster and smarter, preparing us for success: Adversity are necessary lessons for success. The key is to see it as an opportunity rather than a barrier.
●逆境让我们更快速、更明智，为日后的成功铺平道路：逆境是成功的必修课，诀窍是将逆境看作机会而非障碍。
