How Good Do You Want to Be？
佚名 / Anonymous
All of us want to be good at our jobs， but how good do we really want to be？
Quite good. Good. Very good. The best in your field. Or the best in the world？
Talent helps， but it won't take you as far as ambition. Everybody wants to be good， but not many are prepared to make the sacrifices it takes to be great. To many people， being nice in order to be liked is more important. There's equal merit in that， but you must not confuse being good with being liked.
Most people are looking for a solution， a way to become good. There is no instant solution， and the only way to learn is through experience and mistakes.
You will become whoever you want to be. You can achieve the unachievable. Firstly you need to aim beyond what you are capable of. You must develop a complete disregard for where your abilities end. Try to do the things that you’re incapable of.
If you think you’re unable to work for the best company in its sphere， make that your aim.
If you think you’re incapable of running a company， make that your aim.
If you think you’re unable to be on the cover of Time magazine， make it your business to be there.
Make your vision of where you want to be a reality. Nothing is impossible.
每个人都希望出色地完成工作，但是，我们到底希望做得有多好呢？
很好！不错！十分不错！做你所在行业领域的佼佼者。还是做世界之最呢？
天赋只能辅助于你，但它不能与野心一起驰骋。人人都想成就优秀，但是很少人准备为伟大作出牺牲。对许多人来说，为了受人喜爱而行善更加重要。尽管价值是相同的，但是切勿将其与做好人而受人爱戴混为一谈。
大多人正在寻找一种解决的方案，寻找一条成就优秀的道路。这条路上没有捷径，学习的唯一方法就是通过体验与犯错积累。
你会成为任何你想成为的人。你可以到达任何无法到达的境地。那么，首先需要你制定一个你能力之外的目标，你必须学会对自己的能力极限持完全蔑视的态度，试着去做自己能力不及的事情。
如果你觉得自己不能胜任该行业中最好的公司工作，那么，就以它为目标。
如果你觉得自己不能运营一家公司，那么，就以它为目标。
如果你觉得自己不可能成为《时代》杂志的封面人物，那么，以此为你的目标。
努力使你的梦想成真。一切皆有可能。
