I was talking with a colleague the other day. He was marveling that a mutual friend had published his first book.

那天和一個同事聊天的時候，他感嘆說我們的一個朋友都已經出書了。

He was happy for our friend and said that he would love to publish a book himself someday, but finished with, 「I could never do that…」

他為我們的那個朋友感到高興，他說他也想要出一本書的，但最後說道「我肯定不行…」

To his shock, I told him he was right… he couldn』t do that.

出乎他的意外，我說他是對的，他肯定不行。

He got a little indignant and shot back, 「Why not?」

他有點生氣的回答道：「為什麼？」

I said, 「Because you just told me so.」

我說：「因為你是那樣對我說的。」

Start Saying You Can

從「說你可以做到」開始

What are you telling yourself you can』t do?

有哪些事情是你對自己說過自己做不到的？

It』s up to you, either you think you can or you think you can』t.

完全是取決於你自己，你可以認為你做得到，也可以認為自己做不到。

「Whether you think you can, or you think you can』t – you』re right.」 – Henry Ford

「不管你是覺得自己能做到還是不能做到---你都是對的」---亨利福特

Either way, you are defining your own reality.If you tell yourself that 「you can』t」 enough times, you start to believe it.You set your own limits, real or not.

不管你選的是那種，那都決定了你的現實生活。如果你對自己說了很多次「你做不到」，你就開始相信了。不管真與否，你自己給自己限定了。

You are also shaping others』 perception of you and your abilities. If you tell people you aren』t ready or can』t accomplish something, they will believe you. In many respects, you define how others view you.

對於自己和自己的能力，你也會改變別人對你的看法。要是你對別人說你還沒準備好或是你做不到，別人都會相信你。很多方面都是這樣，你定義了別人對你的看法。

Believe You Can

要相信你可以

It is life-altering when you start saying… you can.

當你開始說「你可以做到的」時候，生活就開始改變了。

Stop self-limiting talk of what you can』t accomplish.

不要自己說你做不到的事。

Soon, you will start believing you can and that can make all the difference.

之後，你也會認為你可以做到，那樣事情就會有很大的差別。
