成功是过程，而不是终点
Success Is a Journey, Not a Destination
泰勒·布林克曼 / Tyler Brinkmann
It is very important to have a law of life to base your life on. A law of life that means a lot to me is: Success is a journey, not a destination. It means that what matters is not necessarily where you are at the end, but what you accomplish while you are trying along the way. It means that no matter what, as long as you try, you can never fail. It means you can learn from your mistakes and continue on the next journey a little wiser.
One person I believe that shares my law of life is Mark McGwire. He didn’t get caught up in the home-run chase in the 1998 season, but instead played every game in the best way he could. And, most of the time, he helped his team. He didn’t just go out there and hit home runs because he wanted to be ahead in the end, but because he wanted to make it a good season for his teammates and him.
I also think the l999-2000 St. Louis Rams as a whole are utilizing my law of life. They play every game with their full potential instead of letting a few winning games go to their heads. They stay focused on playing in the Super Bowl. They know that even if they don’t go all the way, they still will be successful because they have had a good journey. Even though they lost some games, they didn’t give up.
It does not matter if you do not have the ability to be on top in the end, to win the championship; all that matters is that you worked hard the whole time. There are a few people in the world who already understand what it means. They understand that success is a journey, not a destination. But wouldn’t it be a much better world if everyone did, if everyone would realize that someone will win and someone will lose, but what’s important is that both sides need to try their best? After all, it’s not who wins or loses, but how well you play the game, and I hope I have applied this in my own life.
生活中有“人生法则”做基础是极其重要的。给我带来极大影响的一条“人生法则”就是：成功是过程，不是终点。它意味着重要的不是你最终到达哪里，而是你在这一旅程中努力做了些什么；意味着不管你做了什么，只要努力了，就一定不会失败；还意味着你能从错误中吸取经验教训，以便更好地继续下一段旅程。
我相信一定会有一个人同意我的“人生法则”，那就是马克·麦戈维尔。在1998年的赛季中，他虽然没有打完全场，但每一场球赛他都竭尽全力了，并且大多数时间他都在帮助队友们。他并非一心为了取胜才去参加比赛，只是因为他希望这个赛季能够成为自己和队友们的一个好的赛季。
与此同时，我认为在1999—2000年比赛期间，圣路易·拉姆斯在整体上也遵循了我的“人生法则”。他们在每一场比赛中都充分发挥，而不是赢了几场比赛就被胜利冲昏了头脑。他们在超级杯比赛时全力以赴。他们明白即使不能走完全程，他们也是成功的，因为他们经历了一个精彩的过程。尽管输了几场球赛，但他们从未放弃。
假如你最终没能登上成功的峰顶，取得胜利的桂冠，那又何妨，重要的是你一直都在努力。世界上只有极少数人懂得这个道理——成功是过程，不是终点。假如所有人都明白这个道理，大家都意识到有人会成功，也有人会失败，最为重要的是两者都尽了他们最大的努力，那么我们的世界将会是多么美好啊！毕竟，重要的不是输或赢，而是我们在比赛中努力了。我希望在生活中，我就是这样做的。

你期待的是什么
What Do You Expect
佛罗伦萨·斯高伏尔·西恩 / Florence Scovel Shinn
Faith is expectancy, “According to your faith, be it unto you.”
We might say, according to your expectancies, be it done unto you; so, what are you expecting?
We hear people say, “We expect the worst to happen,” or “The worst is yet to come.” They are deliberately inviting the worst to come.
We hear others say, “I expect a change for the better.” They are inviting better conditions into their lives.
Change your expectancies and you change your conditions.
How can you change your expectancies, when you have formed the habit of expecting loss, lack or failure?
Begin to act as if you expected success, happiness and abundance; prepare for your good.
Do something to show you expect it to come. Active faith alone will impress the subconscious.
If you have spoken the word for a home, prepare for it immediately, as if you hadn’t a moment to lose. Collect little ornaments, table-cloths, etc.!
Keep on noticing beautiful things, and you make an invisible contact. Sooner or later these things are drawn into your life, unless you say, “Poor me, too good to be true.”
The soul is the subconscious mind. You can expect any seemingly impossible good from God.
Get the realization that every blessing is good in action, and see God in every face and good in every situation. This makes you master of all conditions.
信念意味着期待——你的信念造就了你这个人。
我们也可以说，向你期待的方向发展，最终成就你自己。那么，你期待的是什么？
我们常常听人们说：“我们期待更坏的事情降临”或“糟糕的事情还没有发生。”他们这是故意给自己找麻烦。
我们也会听到这样的说法：“我期待更好的改变。”这样的人已经把幸运之神请进了他们的生活。
所以，改变你的期待，你的境况就会得到改善。
当你已经形成患得患失的习惯时，怎样才能改变你的期待呢？
你首先要坚定信念：自己能够成功，一定会拥有幸福美满的生活。你还要作好充分的准备。
做一些事情，以表明你的期待。实际上，这种积极的信念甚至能够影响你的潜意识。
假如你打算装饰一下自己的家，那么不要有片刻的犹豫。马上行动吧！你可以去买一些装饰品、桌布等等。
把注意力集中在美好的事物上，那么你自然会与美好的事情结下良缘。美好的事情迟早会来到你的身边，除非你整日抱怨：“我真可怜，事事不顺心。”
我们的潜意识即我们的灵魂。不管事实看起来多么不可思议，你都可以期望从上帝那里得到好处。
最重要的是，不管你拥有什么愿望，都必须付诸实践，让自己朝好的方向发展。而且，不管身处何种境遇，都要看到积极的一面。这样，你才能成为生活的主宰者。

成功的DNA密码
The DNA of Success
厄尔·曼 / Earl Mann
Today we’re going to talk about DNA: that thing that makes you who you are, that thing that makes you who you can become, that thing that is coded into your essence and determines what your capacity is, what your limits are! Your DNA is your “Decisions and Actions”. That’s what determines who you are!
If you do enough research and listen to enough scientists on human potential, they will tell you that you are precisely where you are in life because of the decisions and actions that you’ve taken up to this point. Understanding this is critical to going forward with success. If you are today the result of all the decisions and actions up to this point, then who you are tomorrow will be the result of all the decisions and actions you take between now and then. So, understanding that, getting your hands and mind around this DNA, is the key. Every decision you make, every action you take is either in support of or in opposition to your achievement of whatever you have determined as your own individual success.
But understand this: lf you have the winner’s DNA, everything changes. Everything is changing. You look out into the world and you see allies instead of enemies. You see keys instead of locks. You see solutions instead of obstacles. Getting your mind around these “Decisions and Actions” makes your path to your individual goals that much clearer. People with the winning DNA don’t request that the path to their success be easy. They don’t even request that it be fair. They just request that it be worth it because if they know that it’s worth it, then they can do whatever is necessary to achieve it. All that is necessary, the only thing that is necessary, is that you understand that the only thing between you now and you where you want to be is all the “Decisions and Actions” that you can squeeze in between.
Give yourself a DNA test. Ask yourself, “What are the decisions I am making and what are the actions I am taking? Why am I making those decisions? Why am I taking those actions? Where are those decisions taking me? Where are those actions leading me? Are they taking me to a place that is worth it?” If they are, then we will all see you when you arrive; because there is nothing on this planet that can stop you.
Decide. Act. And expect a great day!
今天，我们来讨论一下什么是DNA。DNA创造了你本身，决定着你能够成为什么样的人，它造就了你的本性，决定着你的能力和缺陷。你的DNA是你的“决定和行动”，是决定你之所以是你的因素。
在人类潜能方面，假如你能做充分的研究，并听取众多科学家的建议，他们就会告诉你先前的所有决定和行动决定了你此时在生活中的位置。理解这一点，对于迈向成功尤为重要。假如今天的你是由你先前的决心和行动所致，那么明天的你将由你现在和以后的所有决定和行动控制。所以，理解了这些，让你的双手和思想围绕这种DNA而行动，这是重点所在。你所做的每个决定，采取的每一次行动，或者有助于你沿着内心的成功之路前进，或者与之相悖。
然而要懂得这一点：假如你拥有赢家的DNA，一切就会改变。一切都处于变化之中。纵观全世界，你看到的是朋友而非敌人，是钥匙而非枷锁，是解决方法而非阻碍。心中怀着这些“决定和行动”会让你通往个人目标的道路更加畅通。拥有赢家DNA的人是不会要求让自己的成功之路平坦无阻的。他们甚至不会要求这条路是公平的，而是希望这条道路是值得拼搏的，因为假如知道这一切付出是值得的，他们就能够付出所有必要的努力去实现梦想。你要知道，在此时的你与你理想中的自己之间，你所能塞入的所有东西也是唯一的东西，就是决定和行动。
测试一下自己的DNA。问问你自己：“我现在做的是什么决定，采取的是什么行动？我为什么要做那些决定？为什么要采取那些行动？那些决定将会把我带到什么地方？那些行动将会指引我走向何方？它们会带领我走向值得拼搏的地方吗？”假如它们能，那么当你到达目的地时，我们都会看见你，因为这个世界上没有什么能够阻挡你。
做出决定，采取行动。那样你就会拥有意义非凡的一天！
