1. Timidity

胆怯



Every path to success begins with agreat idea. There's only one problem: Great ideas are a dime a dozen. What really matters when it comes to becoming a success is not having the idea but having the courage to transform that idea into reality. This usually means a risk of losing the security of a regular job and risking a steady paycheck. Onlythe brave ever overcome this first of the pitfalls.

每条成功之路都源于一个伟大的想法。唯一的问题是：伟大的想法遍地都是。对于成功而言，真正重要的并不是拥有这个想法，而是有勇气把这个想法变成现实。通常这意味着风险：失去稳定的工作，还有失去固定的工资。只有勇敢者才能越过这第一个绊脚石。



2. Laziness

懒惰

Even with a great idea and the courage to pursue it, your efforts will be for naughtunless you're willing to take massive action. Write down your goals and (more important) the action steps you'll take to pursue those goals. Post your vision and plan in your bedroom,bathroom, office. Share it with others, so they'llhold you accountable for delivering on your plan. Make yourself accountable and become the master of your destiny.

即使有了伟大的想法，也有勇气去追求，但除非你愿意采取大量的行动，否则你的努力还是徒劳无功。写下你的目标，更重要的是写下你为实现目标所采取的行动步骤。把你的愿景和计划做成海报贴在你的卧室、卫生间和办公室里。与他人分享，这样他们将督促你实现你的计划。对自己负责，让自己成为命运的主人。
