And I felt like a total and abject failure.

我覺得自己是個糟糕透頂的大失敗。

So, I used to be sixty pounds heavier.

所以，我以前比現在重六十磅。

And I grew up in a morbidly obese family.

我從小在一個先天發病肥胖的家庭長大。

And I really wanted to escape that fate but I couldn't see any way to do it.

而我真的很想逃開那樣的命運，但我就是不知道該怎麼做。

All that I had was this crushing sense of being adrift at sea and not knowing how to get back to shore.

我感到一股漂浮在茫茫大海中，不知道怎麼回到岸邊的失落感。

I could see the failure, I could see that I had no plan, that I no longer knew how I was gonna get where I wanted to go.

我知道我很失敗，我沒有計畫，以至於我再也無法知道我該怎麼到達我想去的地方。

And I didn't believe that those were things I could change about myself.

而我過去也不相信那些是我可以改變自己的事。

They felt like a prison sentence or if I am honest it felt like a death sentence.

它們感覺就像一條罪狀或是如果我誠實地說的話，它感覺起來就像是被判死刑。

And it was coming to the realization that I wasn't talented.

而直到我了解到自己一點才華都沒有。

That really forced me to look for a new mindset that would allow me to escape depression because I was coming to the world with my hand out, and as long as I was coming to the world with my hand out, I was at the mercy of other people.

我才真的被迫去尋找一個新的心態，好讓自己遠離沮喪，因為我一無所有地來到這個世界，而如果我一無所有的來到這個世界，我將會任由別人擺布。

I wanted to take control.

我想要有主控權。

I was gonna have to take control of the resources and in that was a desire to find another way to think about it.

我要掌控資源，我有個想找到方法去做這件事的渴望。

Another way to think about myself, another way to think about talent, another way literally to think about everything.

其他思考關於我自己的方法，其他思考才華的方法，其他思考所有事情的方法。

And I remember saying to myself: listen pussy, stop asking yourself what the least you need to do is and start asking yourself how much you can bear.

我記得我和自己說：聽著懦夫，不要再問自己你至少要做多少，而是問自己你可以承受多少。

I began to develop a growth mindset.

我開始抱持一個成長的心態。

I needed to believe that by working really hard that I can get better at anything.

我必須相信透過非常認真地工作，任何事我都可以做得比以前更好。

If that were true, then I just needed to buckle down.

而如果這是真的，那麼我就必須定下決心。

I needed to practice, I needed to get good, I needed to do the reps, I needed to put in the effort, I needed to be willing to break myself in half to get so good that people couldn't ignore me.

我要練習，我要變得更好，我要重複地做，我要努力，我要願意重新再造我自己來變得好到別人無法忽略我。

The way to do that: act. That's it. You need to get out there and do something.

辦到這個的方法：行動。就是這樣，你必須走出去。

Right now, today. Literally stop this f***ing video.

做一點事。此刻今天。關掉這部影片。

And whatever it is, if you already have a passion, you are so much farther ahead than the vast majority of human kind.

不管是甚麼，如果你已經找到熱情，你已經比很多人都遙遙領先了。

If you know what that thing is, get out and act.

如果你知道那是甚麼，走出去然後去做。

And by the way, if you don't know what it is, act, it's the only way you are gonna find out counterstep.

順帶一提，如果你不知道你的熱情是甚麼，去做，這是你可以找到其他方向的唯一的方法。

Go try things, it is in the process of action that you are going to learn the things you need to learn.

去嘗試新事物，在這個過程裡，你將學到你將要學的新事物。

But if you have been thinking about starting a business, f***ing start it.

你一直想創業，那就開始啊！

Like actually build the product right now. Today.

像是此刻就去開發產品。今天。

You will learn more, infinitely more in the process of trying to create it and make it real than you ever will by watching videos, by thinking, by meditating , by taking notes.

你將學到更多，在試著創造讓它成真的過程中，學到無限多，比你透過看影片、思考、冥想、抄筆記都多更多。

None of it compares.

沒有任何一個可以比得過。

It's not even in the same universe. It is just going and doing it.

它們甚至不在同一個層次。這一切就只是走出去，然後去做。

One step is better than a hundred hours of quantification.

跨出第一步比一百小時的思考好。

Running a hundred miles an hour in the wrong direction is better than standing still.

持續向錯誤的方向跑一百英里一小時，比站著都不動還好。

You'll learn something. So get rid of this notion that you are gonna end the day with a perfect record.

你會學到東西。所以丟掉你將在一天結束時達到完美境界的想法。

You're gonna fail, you're f**k up, you are gonna try a thousand things, and 999 of them are not gonna work.

你將會失敗，你會搞砸一切，你將嘗試一千次，而其中的九百九十九次都不會成功。

But whatever you want, really don't ask yourself who you are today, ask only, "Who do you want to become?"

無論你想要的是甚麼。別問你自己今天你在哪裡，而是只問「你想成為誰？」

And then are you willing to pay the price to get there?

你願意付出代價去達成這一切嗎？

Like people are convinced that they shouldn't act until they have it all figured out.

為什麼人們會相信他們必須全部想出來才開始行動。

F**k that! You should act right now today, no matter how chaotic your vision, no matter how chaotic your life, no matter how much you have going on or you already working 2 jobs , 3 jobs doesn't matter.

才不是這樣，你必須此刻今天就開始行動，無論你所見的有多麼地混亂，你的生活有多麼地混亂，無論你已經做了多少，或是你已經有兩份，三份工作都無所謂。

Take an action today or you never will!

今天就開始行動吧，不然你永遠也不會開始！
