When I was interviewed on Mixergy, a blog for aspiring² entrepreneurs³, I was asked what the No. 1 obstacle was that I had to overcome in order to achieve my goals. 当我接受Mixergy,一家专为有抱负的企业家设立的博客,采访的时候，我被问到的为了达到我的目标，必须要克服的第一障碍是什么。

My answer was laziness. I know the little things I need to do and I understand their importance. 我的回答是懒惰。我知道我需要做小事情,我理解他们的重要性。

For me, I have to fight laziness and PUSH myself to do the little things I know I need to do. 对我来说,我必须战胜懒惰，强迫自己做我知道我需要做的小事情。

The fact that you are reading this blog post tells me that you want to achieve more in life. 你正在阅读这篇文章这个事实告诉我,你想在生活中获得更多。

If you are going to be successful at achieving your goals, you must become a disciplined person. 如果你要成功地实现你的目标,你必须成为一个自律的人。

You must become a person who will do the little things that are easy to do and easy not to do. 你必须成为一个会做小事情的人,那些很容易做也是很难做的事。

I also want to point out that I don’t believe there is any distinction between who you are in your personal life and who you are in your professional life. 我还想指出,我不相信，在你的个人生活中和在你的专业生活中，你所扮演的角色有任何区别。

If your bedroom is a mess, then your car is probably a mess. 如果你的卧室很乱,那么你的车可能是一团糟。

If you don’t have the discipline to clean your home and car, you will likely struggle having the discipline to do the little things required of you to achieve your goals. 如果你不自律打扫房屋和汽车,你可能会挣扎于你达到目标需要自律的小事情。

You can’t be one person at home and a different person at work. You are who you are! 你不可能在家里是一个人,在工作场合是另一个人。你就是你自己。

If you want to achieve more in your life,if you want to grow as a person and achieve your personal best, 如果你想在你的生活中获得更多成就,如果你想成长,做到最好的自己,

then you MUST become a person who does the little things that are both easy to do and easy not to do. 那么你必须成为这样的一个人，做那些容易做的也是最难做的小事。

This will likely be the greatest challenge you will ever take on, 这可能是你承担的最大的挑战,

but if you will commit to this challenge and use your personal initiative⁴ do the things you know you should do with consistency⁵, your life can be transformed. 但是如果你将致力于这一挑战,使用你的个人主观能动性，做你知道你应该始终如一做的事情,就可以改变你的生活。

One of the most important keys to success is having the discipline to do what you know you should do even when you don’t feel like doing it. 成功最重要的关键之一是有自律性，你知道你应该做什么,即使你不喜欢这么做。
