Answered Jul 12

I am a high achiever. Since early age, I have been ambitious and over the years I have developed a mindset that feeds my big appetite. Some people think that I am just a rat in a rat race. But, believe me, I know too well that life is not about ambition. To me, goals and achievements are like a video game levels which I pass and move on to the next ones.

That being said here are 7 THINGS THAT I LIVE BY TO REACH MY GOALS (when and if I have any):

我可以說我是成功人士。從小開始，我就一直有抱負，近幾年我發展了一種可以填補我強大成功慾望的心境。有些人覺得我不過是名利競爭中的亡命之徒。但是相信我，我太明白了，生活不是野心場。對我來說，目標和成就就像是遊戲里的等級，我不過是通過一級再進入下一級。

說了這些，我要講的是我賴之以實現目標的七件事（當我實現或我想實現時）

N1) PUT WORK

No secret here. No bullshit. If you want to succeed you have to put work. Anyone who says otherwise is either a liar or won the lottery.

So unless you are one lucky fella, you have to put sweats and tears into your goals. That』s the only way you can truly succeed.

第一、幹活

不是什麼秘密，也不是胡說八道。如果你想成功，就得幹活。任何對此有異議的人，要麼他是個騙子，要麼他是彩票得主。

所以，除非你是一個幸運兒，你都得為目標付出汗水和淚水。這是你成功的唯一途徑。

N2) I NEED PLANS

If I don』t know what I am going to do after 30 minutes, then my day is a waste. I need a strict plan which I have to follow. It makes things so much easier and I do not waste time on 「imagining」 how my day will turn out.

Instead, each night I put on a schedule for the following day. That way, I know what I am going to do and I do not waste time throughout the day.

二、我需要計劃

如果我不清楚三十分鐘後我該做什麼，今天就浪費了。我需要我能履行的嚴格計劃。有了計劃，事情可以變得簡單，我也不用花時間操心今天該怎麼過了。

所以，每天晚上我都為下一天列個計劃。這樣做，我就知道該做什麼，整天都不會浪費時間。

N3) GOODBYE SOCIAL LIFE

People ask me how did I manage to achieve success while also being social. The sad truth is I didn』t. Social interactions absorb my mental energy.

When I am having an argument with my friend, and after an hour I sit down to work, I can』t be productive. All I do is analyze what my friend said, why he said it or how I should have reacted. I

Yes, sometimes I invest time in friends and people from whom I can learn. Sometimes I hang out with old friends whom I missed or with my family. But my time is usually limited and I generally don』t hang out frequently.

三、再見了社交生活

別人問我我怎麼能在取得成就的同時保持社交。遺憾的是我不能。社交生活會攫取我的精神能量。

當我和我朋友爭論的時候，我花了一個小時再坐下來，我就沒有效率了。我全部的心思都在想我朋友說了什麼，他為什麼這麼說，我該怎麼回復。如果我想集中注意力訓練技能，我就不能這麼做。

是的，我有時候會把時間投資在朋友身上，還有我能學到東西的人身上。有時候我和想念的老朋友或者家人出去。但是我的時間通常是有限的，我一般不經常出去走。

N4) SACRIFICE SHORT-TERM DELIGHT

In 10th grade, I had the opportunity to study astronomy and possibly participate in International Olympiads. However, I did not study for them as I believed that it was better to concentrate on some theoretical components before rushing into problem-solving.

People thought I was making a mistake, including my mum, teachers and friends. I did not participate in any International Olympiad in 10th grade.

The next year? 4 International Science Olympiad medals in a single year.

This brings me to my next point.

四、犧牲短期快樂

在十年級，我有了學習天文學的機會，還可能參加國際奧林匹克。然而，我沒有學習，因為我覺得，在闖進實踐之前先專註於理論部分會更好。

人們覺得這是一個錯誤，包括我的母親，老師還有朋友。我在十年級沒有參加任何國際奧賽。

接下來四年呢？某一年就有4枚國際科學奧賽獎牌。

這就引發了我的下一點。

N5) OTHERS DON』T KNOW YOU

Hello others, I am Ara Mambreyan and you have no idea what goes inside my head.

In 9th grade, I heard how one of my teachers said that I wouldn』t succeed in science; 6 International Science Olympiad medals since then. 「The dumbest person in that basketball team」; 5 National Basketball Championship gold medals while being a starter. 「I don』t think writing is yours」… decent writing skills now (or so I would like to believe).

People don』t know you. Yes, it』s important to hear every advice and weigh each opinion. But it all comes down what works for YOU!

五、別人不了解你

「別人」你們好，我是Ara Mambreyan，你們不了解我腦子裡想什麼。

·

在九年級，我聽到我的一個老師說，我在科學上不會成功；

·

然後我得了6枚國際科學奧賽獎牌

·

「那個是籃球隊最沉悶的人」

·

5枚國際籃球錦標賽金牌

·

「我不覺得寫作是你的特長...」

·

現在，我有優良的寫作技能（或我這麼認為）

別人不會了解你。是的，聽取每條建議，衡量每個觀點是很重要。但是前提都是要對你有用的！

N6) FORGET PRIDE

My teacher says that I am dumb. Who cares?

If he thinks so, it』s because I left such an impression. It』s not personal. It』s either my idiosyncrasy or his. Either way, you do not have to lose the opportunities someone provides — be it partnership, knowledge or advice — just because they don』t like you.

Pride is not a good nothing. Yes, it』s important to know your worth. But people are… well, people and you have to understand everyone.

There is nothing personal…

六、忘了驕傲

我的老師說我是個悶子，誰在乎呢？

如果他這麼想，這是因為我給他的就是這種印象。不要私人化。不是我的毛病，也不是他的。不管怎樣，你都不必失去別人能給你提供的機會——不管是與你為伍的機會、給你的知識或是建議——僅僅是因為他們不喜歡你。

驕傲不是好東西。是的，認識你的價值很重要。但是別人...好吧，別人和你之間必須互相理解。

不要私人化...

N7) OH, BUT TAKE IT PERSONALLY

The only way you can succeed is if you really, really,want something. Motivation is like the fuel that you have to drive the road of success. If you don』t have it, you better settle.

But to have motivation, you have to take things personally. You have to want to prove the world your worth, prove that people were wrong about you, prove that you are great…

Take it personally…

七、哦，不過這是私人的

你唯一能成功的方法就是你真的，真的很想要某物。動機就像是你行駛在成功之路上的燃料。如果你沒有，最好就作罷。

但是為了有動機，你得把事情看得私人化。你必須有證明你的價值的慾望，證明別人是錯的，證明你很棒...

所以看得私人點吧...
