And so he went to this guru, right. And he told the guru you know

所以他去找了一位大師，他告訴大師說

I wanna be on the same level you are and the guru said:

" 我想要跟你一樣出人頭地 "，於是這位大師回答

" if you wanna be on the same level I'm on, I'll meet you tomorrow at the beach. "

" 如果你想要和我一樣有所成就，那麼明天我在沙灘見你 "

So the young man got there 4 A.M. He already rock n' roll.

於是這位年輕人凌晨四點就到了沙灘，西裝筆挺，準備大展身手

Got on a suit, he should've wore shorts. The old man grabs his hand and said:

他是應該穿便服才對。接著這位大師抓著他的頭說

" How bad do you wanna be successful? " He said: “Real bad”.

" 你有多麼想要成功？" 他回答: " 真的很想 "

He said: " Walk on out in the water. " So he walks out into the water. Watch this.

" 那麼你走入到水裡去證明給我看 "，於是這位年輕人走進了水裡

When he walks out to the water he goes waist deep. So he's like " this guy's crazy. "

當水深已至腰部時，年輕人心裡想著這位老頭是否瘋了

Hey I wanna make money and he got me out here swimming.

" 嘿，我只是想賺大錢但他卻叫我來游泳！？"

I didn't ask to be a lifeguard. I wanna make money he got me in

" 我又不是要當位救生員，我只想賺錢卻叫我來玩水？"

so he said come on a little further walked out a little further

接著這位大師喊著: " 再更深入一點！"

then he had it right around this area the shoulder area

於是他又更深入了水裡，水位已深至肩膀

so this old man crazy he making money but he crazy.

心裡想著這位老頭真的瘋了，雖然他很會賺錢，卻是個瘋子

So he said come on out a little further he came out a little further, it was right at

但這位大師繼續喊著: " 再更深入一點！再進去一點！ "

his mouth my man, I’m not about to go back in this

此時年輕人說甚麼也不聽這位瘋子的話

guy is out of his mind. And the old man said: “I thought you said you wanted to be successful?”

這位大師說: " 我以為你真的很渴望成功? "

He said: “I do.” He said: “Then walk a little further.”

" 是真的很想！ " " 那就再更深入一點！"

He came, dropped his head in, held him down, hold him down, my man (kept scratching) hold

於是大師走過來，把年輕人的頭壓進水裡

him down, he had him held down,

把年輕人的頭壓進水裡

just before my man was about to pass out, he raised him up.

直到這位年輕人幾近昏迷，大師才把他拉上來

He said: “I got a question for you.” He told the guy, he said:

大師說: " 我有個問題要問你 " 他告訴這位年輕人他說

“When you want to succeed as bad as you wanna breathe then you will be successful.”

" 如果你像渴求著能夠呼吸般一樣渴望著成功，那你就會成功！ "

I don't know how many of you all got asthma here today?

我不知道在你們之中是否有人經歷過氣喘病

If you ever had a asthma attack before your short of breath S.O.B shortness of breath,

如果當你氣喘發作時，喘息著且呼吸困難

you wheezing (breath sound) the only thing you trying to do is get some air.

此時你腦中唯一想做的就是呼吸些空氣

You don't care about no basketball game, you don't care about what's on T.V.

你不會在乎沒籃球賽可看，不在意電視在播什麼

you don't care about nobody calling you, you don't care about a party.

不在乎別人如何叫你，更不會在意狂歡派對

The only thing you care about when you trying to breathe is to get some fresh air

你心中唯一想做的就是呼吸那些該死的新鮮空氣

That's it! And when you get to the point where all you wanna do is

這就是我要說的，重點就是

be is successful as bad as you wanna breathe then you will be successful.

如果你如渴求著呼吸般地去努力打拼，那麼你就會成功！

And I'm here to tell you that number one, most of you say you wanna be successful

在這邊我要告訴你很重要的，大部分的人們說他想出人頭地

but you don't want it bad, you just kind of want it.

事實上卻不是真的很想，只是口頭說說有點想而已

You don't want it bad than you wanna party. You don't want it as much as you want to be cool.

你不會比想去派對般更想成功，你不會比在女孩子面前耍帥般更想成功

Most of you don't want success as much as you want to sleep

大部分的人們甚至不如想睡覺般更想成功！

Some of you lost sleep more than you lost success.

你們其中一些人甚至愛睡覺勝過想成功！

And I'm here to tell you today,

我告訴你一件事

if you're going to be successful you gotta be willing to give up sleep.

如果你真的渴望有所成就，那麼你必須願意去犧牲睡眠

You gotta be willing to work with 3 hours of sleep

你必須願意只睡二、三小時去努力打拼，

2 hours, if you really wanna be successful. Some day your gonna have to stay up 3 days in a row.

如果你真的很想很想成功，有時候甚至會連續熬夜三天

Because if you go to sleep you might miss

因為你知道如果你去睡覺，你可能錯失成功的機會

the opportunity to be successful. That's how bad you gotta (inaudible).

這就是你必須要做的

You gotta go days without LISTEN TO ME!

你必須這樣過日子，聽我說

You gotta want to be successful so bad that you forget to eat.

你會為了渴求著成功而廢寢忘食！

Beyoncé say, once she was on the set doing her thing,

畢昂絲曾說過，一旦她專心於做她的事情

three days had gone by and she forgot that she didn't eat. Cause she was engaged.

甚至可能投入到忘記吃東西，忘記時間流逝

I never forget, I went, 50 Cent was doing his movie,

我永遠不會忘記，有次嘻哈歌手五角正在製作他的電影，

I did a little research on 50 and 50 said: "that when he wasn’t do the movie he was doing the soundtrack."

我對五角有點研究，他曾說過: " 當我不是在拍電影，就是在做唱片 "

And they said: “When do you sleep? 50 ”

五角，" 那你何時睡覺? "

Sleep he said: “Sleep, sleep is for those people who are broke."

" 睡覺？ 睡覺是那些弱者們才會做的事情！ "

I don't sleep. See I got an opportunity to make my dream become a reality.

我願意犧牲睡眠！ 因此我得到機會讓夢想成真

Don't cry to quits. You already in pain, you already hurt.

別總是哭嚷地說想要放棄，我知道你很痛苦，你受傷了

Get a reward from it. Don't go to sleep until you succeed.

從中獲取點獎勵吧！在你成功前克制自己不要總是睡覺！

Listen to me, I'm here to tell you today you can come here and

聽我說，今天你來這邊

and you can jump up – you can do flips and

你可以跳上跳下，你可以做翻轉

you can be excited when we give away money but listen to me,

你甚至會因為可以拿到一些錢而激動不已，但請聽我說

you will never be successful, I don't have to give you a dime if you (inaudible)

你將不會成功，如果你放棄的話我甚至不會理你

You won't be successful until you say I don't need that money

你將不會成功直到有一天你說 我根本不需要那筆錢

cause I got it in here.

因為我已經得到我想要的！
