I'm Leo, the guy who always brings a smile to your face.

我是獅子座，一個總能給你帶來微笑的人。

And as always, I'm here with Gwen, who keeps us all grounded in reality.

和往常一樣，我和格溫在一起，她讓我們都立足於現實。

Hi everyone.

大家好

It's great to have you back with us.

很高興你能回到我們身邊。

So Gwen, I was thinking about something deep today and no, it wasn't about what to have for lunch.

格溫，我今天在想一件很深奧的事，不，不是關於午餐吃什麼的問題。

I was thinking, why are we so scared of failing?

我在想，為什麼我們如此害怕失敗？

That's a great question, Leo.

這個問題問得好，里奧。

Many people are afraid of failure, but today we're going to explore why that is and how we can change our perspective on it.

很多人都害怕失敗，但今天我們要探討的是為什麼會這樣，以及如何改變我們對失敗的看法。

Exactly.

沒錯。

I mean, if you've ever tripped over your own feet in public or sent a text to the wrong person, you know what failure feels like.

我的意思是，如果你曾經在公共場合被自己的腳絆倒過，或者給錯誤的人發過簡訊，你就會知道失敗的滋味。

But hey, it happens to the best of us, right?

但是，我們中的佼佼者也會遇到這種情況，不是嗎？

Failure isn't just about those small moments.

失敗不僅僅是那些微不足道的瞬間。

It can be a big challenge in life or work.

這可能是生活或工作中的一大挑戰。

And it's something that can hold people back.

這也是阻礙人們前進的原因。

Yep, like the time I tried to bake a cake and it came out looking like a pancake.

沒錯，就像有一次我試著烤蛋糕，結果烤出來像煎餅一樣。

But you know what?

但你知道嗎？

That didn't stop me from trying again and again.

但這並沒有阻止我一次又一次地嘗試。

And that's exactly what we're going to talk about today.

這正是我們今天要討論的內容。

How failure can actually be a stepping stone to success and why we shouldn't be afraid of it.

失敗實際上是通往成功的墊腳石，為什麼我們不應該害怕失敗？

We'll share some real life examples of famous people who didn't let failure stop them.

我們將分享一些名人的真實事例，他們沒有被失敗所阻擋。

So if you're feeling down about a recent setback, stay tuned.

所以，如果你因為最近的挫折而感到沮喪，請繼續關注。

And as always, don't forget to check out the free PDF in the description below for more tips and exercises to help you overcome the fear of failure.

與往常一樣，別忘了查看下面描述中的免費 PDF，瞭解更多幫助你克服失敗恐懼的技巧和練習。

Let's get started.

讓我們開始吧。

All right, Gwen, let's dive into today's topic.

好了，格溫，讓我們進入今天的主題。

Why do you think so many people are afraid of failure?

你認為為什麼這麼多人害怕失敗？

Well, Leo, it's something that affects a lot of people.

李奧，這對很多人都有影響。

According to a study by the University of Scranton, about 92% of people don't achieve their New Year's goals.

根據斯克蘭頓大學（University of Scranton）的一項研究，約有 92% 的人無法實現他們的新年目標。

One of the main reasons is the fear of failure.

其中一個主要原因是害怕失敗。

That's a huge number.

這是一個龐大的數字。

So it's not just me who's afraid to try something new because I might mess it up.

所以，不只是我害怕嘗試新事物，因為我可能會搞砸。

Exactly.

沒錯。

The fear of failure is common and it often comes from worrying about what others will think.

對失敗的恐懼很常見，這種恐懼往往來自於擔心別人的看法。

It also comes from feeling like we're not good enough.

這也是因為我們覺得自己不夠好。

And then there's that little voice in your head saying, what if you fail?

然後，你的腦海中會有一個聲音在說：如果失敗了怎麼辦？

But here's a thought.

但我有個想法。

What if we reframe that question to what if you succeed?

如果我們把這個問題改為 "如果你成功了呢？

That's a great way to look at it, Leo.

這樣看很好，里奧。

Failure doesn't have to be the end.

失敗不一定是終點。

It can be a learning experience.

這可以成為一種學習經驗。

In fact, many successful people have faced failure before achieving their goals.

事實上，許多成功人士在實現目標之前都曾面臨過失敗。

Take Walt Disney, for example.

以沃爾特-迪斯尼為例。

He was fired from a newspaper job because his boss said he lacked imagination.

他曾被報社解僱，因為老闆說他缺乏想象力。

But he didn't let that stop him.

但他並沒有是以而放棄。

Instead, he went on to create one of the most iconic entertainment companies in the world.

相反，他後來創建了世界上最具標誌性的娛樂公司之一。

Wow, that's incredible.

哇，太不可思議了

So if you're listening and you've had a setback, remember you're in good company.

是以，如果你正在聆聽，並且遇到了挫折，請記住你是個好夥伴。

Some of the greatest successes in history started with failure.

歷史上一些最偉大的成功都是從失敗開始的。

That's right.

這就對了。

The important thing is to not let failure define you.

重要的是不要讓失敗定義你。

Instead, use it as a stepping stone to move forward.

相反，把它作為前進的墊腳石。

Many people think of failure as the end of the road, but it doesn't have to be that way.

很多人認為失敗就是路的盡頭，其實大可不必如此。

Think about someone like Michael Jordan.

想想邁克爾-喬丹這樣的人。

He's considered one of the greatest basketball players of all time, right?

他被認為是有史以來最偉大的籃球運動員之一，對嗎？

Right.

對

But did you know he was actually cut from his high school basketball team?

但你知道他其實是被高中籃球隊開除的嗎？

No way.

不可能

Yes, it's true.

是的，沒錯。

But instead of giving up, he used that experience as motivation to work even harder.

但他並沒有放棄，而是將這次經歷作為更加努力工作的動力。

And look where that got him.

看看他的下場吧。

Six NBA championships and five MVP awards later, he's a legend.

六次 NBA 總冠軍和五次 MVP 獎項之後，他成為了一個傳奇。

Exactly.

沒錯。

The key is to see failure as a stepping stone, not a stumbling block.

關鍵是要把失敗視為墊腳石，而不是絆腳石。

Another great example is Oprah Winfrey.

另一個很好的例子是奧普拉-溫弗瑞。

She's one of the most successful media personalities in the world today.

她是當今世界最成功的媒體人之一。

But did you know she was fired from her first television job as a news anchor?

但你知道她曾被第一份電視新聞主播工作解僱嗎？

I didn't know that.

我不知道。

Yes, her boss said she was unfit for television.

是的，她的老闆說她不適合上電視。

But instead of letting that define her, she found her true calling in talk shows and went on to build an empire.

但她並沒有是以而自暴自棄，而是在脫口秀節目中找到了自己的真正歸屬，進而建立了一個脫口秀王國。

That's so inspiring.

太鼓舞人心了

It just goes to show that sometimes failure is just a detour to something even better.

這恰恰說明，有時失敗只是通向更美好事物的彎路。

Exactly, Leo.

沒錯，里歐。

So for all our listeners out there, don't be afraid of failure.

是以，對於所有聽眾來說，不要害怕失敗。

Embrace it, learn from it, and use it to propel yourself forward.

擁抱它，從中學習，用它來推動自己前進。

And we've got plenty of tips and strategies to help you do just that coming up in the next part.

在下一部分中，我們將為您提供大量的技巧和策略，幫助您做到這一點。

We'll discuss how to change your mindset about failure, how to set realistic goals, and how to bounce back stronger after a setback.

我們將討論如何改變你對失敗的心態，如何設定現實的目標，以及如何在挫折後更堅強地反彈。

So don't go anywhere.

所以哪兒也別去。

We'll be right back.

我們馬上回來

All right.

好吧

Welcome back, everyone.

歡迎大家回來

Now that we've talked about some inspiring examples, let's dive into some vocabulary that can help you better understand today's topic.

我曾經申請過一份我非常想要的工作，但我沒有得到。

At first, I was really disappointed.

Okay, now we're going to talk about how to change your perspective on failure and turn it into something positive.

要克服對失敗的恐懼，首先要改變對失敗的看法。

Instead of seeing failure as something bad, try to see it as a chance to learn and grow.

That's a great way to put it.

It's actually a part of the journey to success.

The second step is to set goals that are realistic and achievable.

第二步是制定現實可行的目標。

When we set goals that are too big or unrealistic, we might feel disappointed if we don't reach them.

當我們設定的目標過大或不切實際時，如果達不到目標，我們可能會感到失望。

It's important to break down your big goals into smaller, easier steps that you can achieve one at a time.

重要的是，要把大目標分解成更小、更容易實現的步驟，一次實現一個。

For example, if your goal is to get fit, start by setting a goal to exercise three times a week instead of aiming to run a marathon right away.

例如，如果你的目標是強身健體，那麼可以先設定每週鍛鍊三次的目標，而不是馬上就去跑馬拉松。

Great example, Leo.

好榜樣，里歐。

The third step is to learn from your mistakes and failures.

第三步是從錯誤和失敗中吸取教訓。

Whenever you fail at something, take a moment to think about what went wrong.

每當你在某件事情上失敗時，花點時間想想是哪裡出了問題。

Ask yourself, what can I do differently next time?

問問自己，下次我還能做什麼不同的事情？

How can I improve?

我該如何改進？

Failure is only a waste if you don't learn from it.

如果不從失敗中吸取教訓，失敗就是一種浪費。

Every mistake is an opportunity to grow. And the last step is to support others when they face failure.

每一次錯誤都是一次成長的機會。 最後一步是在他人面臨失敗時給予支持。

We all face challenges and setbacks, so it's important to help each other through these tough times.

我們都會面臨挑戰和挫折，是以在這些艱難時刻互相幫助非常重要。

Right.

對

Share your experiences, offer words of encouragement, and remind others that failure is not the end.

分享你的經驗，說一些鼓勵的話，提醒其他人失敗並不是終點。

It's just a part of the process.
