Jordan was extremely instrumental in popularizing the NBA around the world in the 1980s and 1990s.It takes a very special person to become the greatest basketball player of all time, so today I want to talk about 10 success lessons from Michael Jordan.

迈克尔乔丹是前美国职业篮球选手、活跃的商人，还是美国职业篮球协会(NBA)中Charlotte Bobcats球队的主要经纪人。成就这样一位非凡的篮球运动员并非一般人可以胜任，所以今天就让我们来谈谈可以从迈克尔乔丹身上学到的十个铸造成功的信条。

1. Make It Happen

“Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.”

In order to succeed you’re going to have to kick down the door and make it happen on purpose. You’re not going to “luck up” and succeed, success won’t come with the passage of time. If you’re going to succeed, you’re going to have to roll up your sleeves, put your head down, and make it happen at all costs.

1.付出实践

“有人想要得到成功，有人希望成功，而还有一些人则亲自铸造成功”

为了达到成功，你必须破除荆棘克服困难，用实际行动将其变为现实你不能凭靠运气取得成功，成功也并非随着年岁流逝自己到来 。如果你想要成功，那就从现在卷起袖子，开始埋头踏实地尽一切所需而为之奋斗。

2. Passion

“Even when I’m old and grey, I won’t be able to play it, but I’ll still love the game.”

You must have passion in order to succeed. If success is to be yours, it will be yours while you are following your passion. You won’t succeed doing something you despise, you won’t even succeed doing something that you like doing, you will succeed when you do what you love, what you’re passionate about.

2.充满激情

“即使我到了头发斑白的老年，无力气再打篮球，但我将会依然热爱这项体育活动

成功需要激情。当你为追随激情而努力时，成功迟早都是属于你的。对于你所唾嗤憎恶的东西，你永远都不可能在其中得到成功。即便是仅仅喜欢某样事物，那也不足以使你取得到什么成就。只有你真正做那些你热爱并为之充满激情的事时，成功才能降临于你。

3. Try

“I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying.”

How can you succeed if you never try? How can you go to your grave knowing that you never tried? You may not know what paths will work best for you, the only way to discover the right path, is to try. Try and try, until you discover your difference. Try until you learn where you can be a success.

3. 敢于尝试

“我接受失败，因为这是每个人必然经历的事实。但我不接受没有尝试的人生”

如果你从来都不尝试，又怎么能够成功呢？当你岁终将离人世时发现自己从未尝试过任何事时，那将是怎样的情形？也许你并不清楚哪条道路最适合自己，但唯一能够寻见真道的就是尝试。不停地尝试，直到你发现真正属于自己的。所以，努力尝试，最终就会找到自己通向成功的起点。

4. Work

“I’m not out there sweating for three hours every day just to find out what it feels like to sweat.”

If success is to be yours, you can rest assured that you’re going to have to work at it. To be the best you have to give your best. You have to work harder than the rest. While people are resting you have to be working. Success is a game, you have to play hard, you have to out-smart the competition, you have to put in the work. Jordan said, “I’ve always believed that if you put in the work, the results will come.”

4.全力拼搏

“我每天汗流浃背地辛苦训练三个小时并不是只为了要知道像这样流汗是什么感觉。”

如果你想要得到成功，那么你所应该肯定的是必须为之付出努力辛劳。成为最强者意味着付出得最多，必须要比他人做出更多的努力。就是当别人在休息时你还在工作。成功是一场游戏，需要你为之背水一战，首先你要具备更多的竞争力，其次还得全身心地投入其中。乔丹说过：“我坚信如果你真心付出过，总会有收获的。

5. Fail

“I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”

Never fear failure; fear not trying, fear not giving your best, fear losing focus, but never fear failure. Failure is the path to success. Failure is the sign that you’re headed in the right direction.

To succeed twice as fast, fail twice as much. Fail often, fail daily, and soon you will succeed. Jordan said, “I’ve never been afraid to fail.”

5.直面失败

“在我的职业生涯中我失手过9000多次投球，输掉过300多场比赛。曾经有26次人们对我抱以期望能赢得比赛但结果未能如愿。在整个人生中不知有多少回我一次又一次地失败，但正是因为这样我才取得了（最后的）成功。

不要惧怕失败；从不尝试，从不全力以赴，以及失去目标的人生才是真正可怕的。但永远不要害怕失败。失败是通往成功的途径。失败的出现正可以说明，你现在正是朝往着正确的方向前行。

想要加快成功的脚步，就会遇到更多的失败。但你常常经历失败，每天遇到挫折时，成功就不远了。乔丹就说过：“我从来都没有畏惧过失败。”



6. Go Around

“If you’re trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I’ve had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.”

Obstacles are what prepare you for success. How can you go to the 10th grade unless you pass the 5th grade? The 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th grades are obstacles to the 10th grade. They are there to keep you out until you’re “ready” to proceed. They are there to ensure you don’t arrive prematurely; they are there to ensure that when you arrive, you are ready. Obstacles aren’t a bad thing; they’re the training grounds to success.

6. 磨练和预备

“想要成就事业，就会有困难阻力。我经历过这些，每个人也都如此。但你没必要因为阻碍而停止不前。假使你撞上一堵墙，不用转弯放弃。开动脑筋看怎样爬过它，穿过它，或者是，绕开它。”

困难铸造预备成功前的你。当你还没通过五年级时又怎么可能上十年级呢？在你进入十年级前，五、六、七、八、九年级都是你要经历的障碍。在你准备好之前他们都是不可逾越的。他们之所以存在是要确保你不会过早“成熟”。他们之所以存在是为确保当要取得成功时，你已经做好了足够的准备。困难不是坏东西。他们是为日后取得成功而设的练习场。



7. The Mind

“My body could stand the crutches but my mind couldn’t stand the sideline.”

If you go there in your mind, it’s only a matter of time before you go there in body. You have to see it; if you can see it, if you can perceive it, then you will find away to get it. The question is “How bad do you want it?” If you don’t “want it,” you won’t get it! If you can live without it, you will. To succeed you have to be hungry; you have to thirst for success.

7. 心态的取决

“我的身体也许会需要拐杖来支持，但心灵却不会因任何事物而受到羁绊”

如果你的心已近达到所想的彼岸，那么现实中的实现只是时间的问题。你必须要先看到，如果你能看到，就能深切感受到，继而找到实现的方法。问题是，“你有多么渴望它”，如果你并不希望拥有，就不可能得到。如果它对于你的生命并不重要，那么即使没有你也可以安然生活。想要成功，就得对它抱有如饥似渴之心。



8. Perspective

“Always turn a negative situation into a positive situation.”

Every negative situation contains the seed for a great outcome, but you must recognize it. To succeed you must turn negative situations into positive ones. You can’t focus on the negative, you must see the positive, it’s the only way up the ladder of success.

You must see the positive, you must become positive, in order to experience success.

8.改变视野

“永远将消极的环境转变为其积极的对立面”

每个消极的境遇都孕育着产生伟大结果的种子，但需要你识别出它。为取得成功，你必须将消极的环境转换为积极有利的。你不能只盯着消极悲观的一面不放，只有寻找看到积极的事物才能引领你登上成功的阶梯。必须看到积极的事物，从而变为积极乐观的人，只有这样才能成功。



9. Loyalty and Responsibility

“The game is my wife. It demands loyalty and responsibility, and it gives me back fulfillment and peace.”

Success demands loyalty and responsibility! Are you loyal to your duties, do you faithfully complete the critical tasks that are requisite to your success?
Are you consistent? To succeed, you must be loyal to your passion; you must give it your all.

9. 忠诚和责任

“比赛是我生命里的另一半。它需要忠诚和责任来以使我获得充实和平静”

成功需要忠诚和责任！你是否尽职于责任，你是否已经忠诚完成了获取成功所必须的重要任务？你是否做到了持之以恒？在成功的路上，必须要坚守自己的激情和追求；必须要为之付出你的全部。

10. Expectations

“You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them.”

Jordan said, “If you accept the expectations of others, especially negative ones, then you never will change the outcome.”

In life you will get what you accept and what you expect. What are you expecting? What are you accepting? When you change the answers to these questions, you will change your life.

10. 期待与梦想

乔丹说过：“如果你妥协接受了别人对你的期望，特别是那种消极反面的意图，那么很可能你就再也难以改变其结果了。”

在生活中，你所得到的东西也许是别人给的，或许是自己希望得到的。那么你希望得到什么？又获取了什么？但你改变你起初对此的看法时，你就会改变自己的人生。
