Description: 我們都想發明那個翻轉世界的產品、創立那個成功的公司、寫那本暢銷書。然而卻只有少數人真的能做到。巴西企業家貝兒．派斯為我們帶來了五個容易誤信的迷思，這些迷思能確保你的夢想永不實現。 1dedicate to0:13 影片例句：I dedicated the past two years to understanding...

過去簡單式

I dedicated the past two years  to understanding

當我們思考我們所擁有的夢想，

and the dent we want to leave in the universe,

以及我們想要在宇宙中所留下的印記，

it is striking to see how big of an overlap there is

between the dreams that we have and projects that never happen.

夢想和未實現的計畫這兩者之間有多雷同。

about five ways how not to follow your dreams.

你一定聽過這樣的故事，對吧？

The tech guy built a mobile app and sold it very fast for a lot of money.

有個玩科技的傢伙做了手機應用程式，然後很快賣掉，賺了一大筆錢。

You know, the story may seem real, but I bet it's incomplete.

你知道的，這故事聽起來很真實，但我跟你打賭這不是全貌。

你會發現他已經開發三十個應用程式了，

and he has done a masters on the topic, a Ph.D.

並且也得到相關領域的專家及博士頭銜。

He has been working on the topic for, like, 20 years.

他在這個領域已經深耕了二十年。

I myself have a story in Brazil that people think is an overnight success.

我自己本身在巴西就有這樣一個，大家都覺得是一夜成功的故事。

and two weeks before the deadline to apply for MIT,

在麻省理工學院入學申請截止的兩週前，

People may think it's an overnight success,

大家可能覺得這就是一夜成功，

but that only worked because for the 17 years prior to that,

但這是因為在那之前的十七年中，

Your overnight success story is always a result

這些你們所稱一夜成功的故事，

of everything you've done in your life through that moment.

都是你生命中每一刻所付出努力的總和。

Two: Believe someone else has the answers for you.

第二：認為別人手裡有你要的答案。

Constantly, people want to help out, right?

總是有人熱心於給予幫助，對吧？

All sorts of people: your family, your friends, your business partners,

各種類型的人：你的家人、你的朋友、你的工作夥伴，

they all have opinions on which path you should take:

都對你的下一步有不同的看法：

"And let me tell you,  go through this pipe."

「我跟你說，這條管道才對。」

But whenever you go inside, there are other ways you have to pick as well.

但不管你走哪一條，之後總有更多條路要選擇。

And you need to make those decisions yourself.

而你必須自己去面對這些抉擇。

No one else has the perfect answers for your life.

沒有人能給你的人生提供最完美的答案。

And you need to keep picking those decisions, right?

你需要不斷為自己做出決定，對吧？

The pipes are infinite and you're gonna bump your head,

這些管線永無止盡，你一定會撞到頭，

Three, and it's very subtle but very important:

三：這點很微妙，但卻十分重要：

Decide to settle when growth is guaranteed.

在你生活一路平順時安定下來。

and you have growing revenue, and everything is set,

你的收入穩定成長，一切都很好——

I worked really, really really hard to distribute it everywhere in Brazil.

我非常非常努力在巴西的各個角落宣傳。

With that, over three million people downloaded it,

因此，有超過三百萬人下載我的書，

over 50,000 people bought physical copies.

When I wrote a sequel, some impact was guaranteed.

當我寫第二本書的時候，我的影響力已經得到了保證。

Even if I did little, sales would be okay.

就算我沒做什麼努力，銷售量也不會太差。

當你已經朝著一個巔峰邁進時，

you need to work harder than ever and find yourself another peak.

你就要更加努力去找尋另一個巔峰。

Maybe if I did little, a couple hundred thousand people would read it,

如果我輕鬆面對，或許會有幾十萬人讀這本續作，

但如果我付出前所未有的努力，

我可以讓這個數字增加到幾百萬以上。

That's why I decided, with my new book, to go to every single state of Brazil.

這就是為什麼我決定在巴西的每個州都宣傳我的新書。

而我已經可以看見另一個更高的巔峰了。

從來就沒有時間能夠安定下來。

覺得錯誤永遠都是別人造成的。

"Yes, I had this great idea, but no investor had the vision to invest."

「是呀，我之前有過這個好點子，但就沒人有遠見要來投資。」

「噢，我做了這個很棒的產品，

but the market is so bad, the sales didn't go well."

但因為市場環境不好，所以就賣不好。」

Or, "I can't find good talent; my team is so below expectations."

或是，「我找不到人才，我的團隊太不符合期待了。」

it's your responsibility to make them happen.

for sure, there is something  there that is your fault.

You need to get your dreams and make them happen.

你要去追尋你的夢想並使之成真。

而且沒有人只靠自己就完成夢想。

But if you didn't make them happen,  it's your fault and no one else's.

但如果你沒有讓夢想實現的話，那絕對不是別人的錯，是你的。

And one last tip, and this one is  really important as well:

Believe that the only things that matter are the dreams themselves.

Once I saw an ad,  and it was a lot of friends,

有次我看到一個廣告，裡面有一大群好朋友，

they were going up a mountain, it was a very high mountain,

他們正要爬山，那是一座很高的山。

You could see that they  were sweating and this was tough.

你可以看見他們流著汗克服那些難關。

And they were going up,  and they finally made it to the peak.

他們繼續往上爬，最後終於攻上山頂。

Of course, they decided to celebrate, right?

「耶！我們辦到了！我們攻下這座山了！」

Two seconds later, one looks at the other and says,

兩秒過後，其中一個人看著另一個人，然後說：

Life is never about the goals themselves.

人生從來都不是只有目標而已。

Yes, you should enjoy  the goals themselves,

是啊，你當然該享受那些達成目標的時刻，

但人們總想像，當你懷抱著夢想，

and whenever you get to reaching one of those dreams,

it's a magical place where  happiness will be all around.

那將會是多神奇而美好的境界，充滿著快樂。
