露天防腐木阳台效果图:耐心：成功路上缺失的一环

凯撒大帝曾经说过：“找到一个愿意献身的人远远比找到一个能都忍受痛苦的人简单多了。”1

To succeed you must have a vast amount of enduring patience.

想要成功，你一定要有出众的忍耐力。

What is patience?  According to Barbara Johnson, it’s the ability to idle your motor when you feel like stripping your gears.  Guy Kawasaki said it’s the art of concealing your impatience, while Titus Plautus concludes that it’s the best remedy for every trouble.

那么，什么是耐心呢？根据巴巴拉约翰逊的说法，这是一种类似像在拆掉了拍档之后，让自己的马达空转。Guy Kawasaki（美国硅谷的Garage(车库)技术风险投资公司创始人、董事局主席）说，这是一种艺术，隐藏你的冲动。而普劳特斯（拉丁喜剧作家）总结说，这是所有问题的良药。

I submit to you that patience is the missing link to your success…

我要告诉你的是，耐心正是你成功路上所缺少的一环。。。

So when things go wrong remember that the grass will grow again, yes it will take time, but in the words of Jean Jacques Rousseau, “Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet,” so don’t overreact, don’t over steer, be patient, let things settle, less you find your delay considerably longer than it would otherwise be.

当事情并不如你所想的那么顺利的时候，记住“野火烧不尽，春风吹又生”，是的，这是要画一些时间。但是卢梭曾说过“耐心有一种苦涩的味道，但是它结出的果实是如此甜蜜”所以不要太过焦急，不要妄自菲薄，给自己一些耐心，让事情解决。这也许比你所想象的更加快捷。

The scripture teaches us that in your patience you possess your soul, which is perhaps why Francis Bacon noted that whoever is out of patience is out of possession of their soul.

《圣经》教给我们，如果你拥有耐心，那么你就掌控自己的灵魂。这也许就是为什么培根一直告诉人们“一旦人失去了耐心，那么他就不再是他自己了”。

Elbert Hubbard said, “How many a man has thrown up his hands at a time when a little more effort, a little more patience would have achieved success.”

作家阿尔伯特哈伯德说过“有多少人在只还需要一点点努力，一些些耐心就能成功的时候放弃了。”

It’s true.

这是真的呢。

You were almost there, you had just about figured it out, and then your impatience got the better of you, which is perhaps why Solomon wrote, he that controls his anger is greater than the mighty.

你离成功就几步之遥了，你正要把它搞定，但这时候你的急躁击败了你，这也许就是为什么所罗门这样写道，控制他的怒火甚至比他的力量更加强大。

Christina Milian said, “My advice to someone who would follow in my footsteps is to have patience.  I’ve been doing this for twelve years.” 

克里斯蒂娜米莲说“对于想走我这条路的人的建议就是不要急躁，我已经这么做12年了。”

Saint Francis de Sales wisely noted, “Have patience with all things.  But, first with yourself.”  And Saadi said, “Have patience.  All things are difficult before they become easy.”

Saint Francis de Sales（圣方济 沙雷）曾记录下“耐心对待所有的事，而首先就是要对自己有耐心。”还有萨阿迪说过“有一些耐心，所有的事情在变简单之前都是很复杂的。”

You’ve been trying to succeed without patience!  You failed to apprehend three of the most critical steps to success.  They are: First to have patience, second to be patient, and third to endure patiently.

你一直在缺乏耐心的情况下想要取得成功。你没有能够领悟到通向成功的3个重要步骤。他们就是：1.拥有耐心2.展现耐心3.使用耐心。

No one succeeds without patience.

如果他没有耐心的话，没有人能够成功。

Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience. 

埃莫森说过“接受大自然的法则：她的秘密就是耐心。”

Have you been over reacting?  Have you been impatient?

你有没有过过度反应，你有没有过急躁不安？

It didn’t take you a week to get into your situation; it won’t take you a week to get out of it.

这不会用掉一个星期进入状态，当然也用不了一个星期来摆脱它。

Anxiety causes the waters of life to rage; dooming your success, but patience stills the waters and allows you to navigate safely to your intended destination.

焦虑只会带来愤怒，这样的话你就注定失败；而耐心能够平息这种怒火，并且保证你安全地到达目标的彼岸。

Don’t be like Tom Holt, Tom said, “Everything is out there if you know how to find it, and you have the patience.  I don’t and haven’t, but that’s my problem.”  Don’t just know that you need patience, have patience.

不要像汤姆霍尔特，他曾说“只要你知道如何去找它，所有的东西都就在那里，你有耐心。而我没有，也不曾有过。这就是我的问题。”不要仅仅只是嘴上说你需要耐心，更重要的是真正地拥有耐心。

I like to say, there’s nothing you can’t achieve if you have the three “P’s”: Purpose, Passion, and Patience.  You have to have patience.

在这里输入译文我想说，世界上没有什么是你做不到的，如果你拥有了三个“P”:目标（purpose），激情（passion），耐心（patience）。你需要有耐心！

George Savile wisely observed that, “A man who is a master of patience is a master of everything else.”

乔治萨维尔曾发现“一个拥有出色耐心的人能够做成一切的事情。”

Thomas Kempis said, “All men commend patience, although few are willing to practice it.”  Are you practicing patience? 

托马斯坎佩斯（古罗马僧侣作家）曾说过“所有的人都称赞耐心，尽管只有一小部分愿意这么做。”你有没有在有意识地锻炼你的耐心？

Benjamin Franklin said, “He that can have patience can have what he will.” Arnold Glasow noted “The key to everything is patience. You get the chicken by hatching the egg, not by smashing it.”

本杰明富兰克林曾说过“能够拥有耐心的人能够拥有他想要的一切。”Arnold Glasow曾写下“所有事情的关键都是耐心。你可以通过孵化鸡蛋来得到一只鸡，而不是砸碎它。”

Francis Quarles said, “Abused patience turns to fury.”  But I think he had it wrong.  True patience isn’t putting up with, true patience is faith and works in action, which is maybe why Michelangelo said that “Genius is eternal patience.”

Francis Quarles曾说过“滥用耐心只会让事情更糟糕。”但我觉得他说错了。耐心并不是简单的忍受，真正的耐心是一种信念和切实的行动，这也许就是为什么米开朗基罗说“天才就是永恒的耐心”。

But I believe that Edmund Burke said it best, he simply said, “Our patience will achieve more than our force.” 

但我觉得埃德蒙伯克（18世纪的政治家）说的最棒，他简单地概括为“耐心比力量更有力。”

Be patient, be consistent, and in time you will have your desires.  In the profound words of William Penn, “Patience and diligence, like faith, will remove mountains.

让自己变得耐心一些，更能持久一些，你最终会获得成功的。引用威廉姆斯佩恩（政治家）的话“耐心和勤奋，就像信仰一样，能够开天辟地。”
