Perseverance

1

Napoleon declared, "Victory belongs to the most persevering." Upon careful study we find perseverance depends upon three things - purpose, will, and enthusiasm.

译： 拿破仑宣称，“胜利属于坚持不懈的人”。经过仔细研究，我们会发现，坚持不懈取决于于三个方面——目标，意志和热情。

2

He who has a purpose is always concentrating his forces. By the will, the hope and the plan are prevented from evaporating into dreams. Enthusiasm keeps the interest up, and makes the obstacles seem small.

译： 一个目标明确的人总是能够集中他的精力。有了坚定的决心，就能够避免希望和计划在梦想中化为泡影。而冲天的热情，能够让人永远兴致勃勃，藐视一切艰难险阻。

3

Life is in a sense a battle. The man who thinks to get on by mere smartness and by idling meets failure at last.

译： 从某种意义上讲，生活是一场战役。那种妄想凭借小聪明闲混到出人头地的人最终只会落得失败的下场。

Perseverance is the master impulseof the firmest souls, and holds the key to those treasure-houses of knowledge from which the world has drawn its wealth both of wisdomand ofmoral worth.

译： 坚持不懈是那些信念坚定的人主导性的精神动力，其把持着开启那些知识宝库的钥匙，全世界的人都可以从中获取智慧和道德的财富。

Great men never wait for opportunities; they make them. They seize upon whatever is at hand, work out their problem, and master the situation. The greatest thing a man can do in this world is to make the most possible out of the stuff that has been given to him. This is success and there is no other.

译： 伟大的人们从不坐等机会；他们会自行创造。他们会抓住一切手边的机会,解决遇到的难题，并且自己掌控局面。在这个世界上，一个人所能做的最伟大的事情就是，从给予他的有限的机会之中进行最大可能的发掘。这便是成功，仅此而已。
