下面6條即是你從小龍那可以學(xué)到的人生經(jīng)驗：

1. Focus is the key to success
專注是成功的關(guān)鍵

The successful warrior is the average man, with laser like focus – Bruce Lee
真正成功的勇士其實只是一般人，但他具有激光般的專注力-李小龍

If you want to succeed, focus on the tasks you should do. Set up a distraction free environment when you're working. If you know that you will most likely get distracted by your smartphone, keep it in another room when you are working. Or disconnect it from the internet.
如果你想要成功，那么專注于你所應(yīng)該做的任務(wù)上。當(dāng)你在工作時，建立一個免于分心的環(huán)境。如果你知道你很有可能因智能手機而分心，那么當(dāng)你工作時就把手機放到另外一個房間，或者干脆將手機斷網(wǎng)。

We can't deny the fact that most of us have short attention spans, but, we can do something about it. Find a way to help yourself concentrate. Set a schedule for yourself to disconnect from the world and focus on the most important tasks at hand.
我們不能否認(rèn)，大多數(shù)人的注意力時間都很短暫，但是，我們可以為之而努力。尋找到一種可以使自己專注的方法。為自己制定一個日程表，讓自己免于塵世煩擾，集中注意力在手邊最重要的任務(wù)上。

2. Make good use of your time
利用好自己的時間

If you love life, don't waste time, for time is what life is made up of – Bruce Lee
如果你熱愛生活就不要浪費時間，因為時間是生活的組成部分-李小龍

Reflect on your life so far, how did you spend your time in the past? Doing things that are meaningful to you, things which add value to people around you or did you just procrastinate most of the time?
反思你目前為止的生活，你過去是如何支配自己的時間的？你是否在做著對自己有意義的事情、對身邊他人有幫助的事情？還是你大部分時間都在拖延浪費中度過？

I bet every single one of us is clear that we only live once, but how many of us really make use of our precious time wisely? Think about it, you don't want to waste the rest of your life doing meaningless tasks right? Starting from today, make good use of the time you have. Live everyday like it is the last day of your life. It might sound cliché, but it is true.
我敢打賭每個人都清楚的知道我們只活一次，但是又有多少人在真正明智的利用我們寶貴的時間呢？想一想吧，你不想讓接下來的生活都用于處理毫無意義的任務(wù)，對吧？從今天開始，好好利用自己的時間。把每一天都當(dāng)成是最后一天來過。這也許聽起來有些陳詞濫調(diào)，但說的很對。

3. Character is as important as knowledge
人品像知識一樣寶貴

Knowledge will give you power, but character respect. – Bruce Lee
知識會給你力量，但人品會為你贏得尊重。-李小龍

We all know about the power of knowledge, as a wise man once said: “Knowledge is power.”? But, often we forget that character, in some ways are more important than knowledge.
我們都知道知識的力量，正如有位智者曾經(jīng)說過：“知識就是力量?！钡?，我們經(jīng)常會忘記人品，而人品在某種程度上比知識更為重要。

Do you like people who are arrogant or do you prefer people who are kind-hearted? The answer is obvious. No matter how intelligent you are, it doesn't matter that much when it comes to earning respect from others. It is your character which counts!
你是喜歡傲慢無禮的人還是喜歡為人善良的人呢？答案是顯而易見的。無論你多么有才華，但當(dāng)談到贏得別人的尊重時它就不那么重要了。只有人品才是真正起作用的！

4. Set a goal and aim for it
樹立目標(biāo)并為之努力

A goal is not always meant to be reached, it often serves simply as something to aim at – Bruce Lee
目標(biāo)并不一定總是用于去達成的，很多時候它僅僅是為了給你方向感-李小龍

A goal is our target to aim at. It is our source of motivation. Having a goal gives us a clear direction in our lives. We aim for it and work towards it. It gives us a clear destination in our lives.
目標(biāo)是我們所要努力的方向。它是我們動力的來源。擁有目標(biāo)使我們的人生擁有方向感。我們以它為標(biāo)桿，并朝著它的方向努力。它讓我們的人生擁有明確的目的地。

But the main point here is that goals aren't always meant to be reached. So, it's okay not to hit your goals within a timeframe. It's okay to fail, but never give up. Sometimes, you just have to believe. Aim for it and work towards it until you achieve it. Clement Stone once said that: “Aim for the moon. If you miss, you may hit a star.”
但是問題是目標(biāo)并不總意味著一定要達成。所以，在一定的時間框內(nèi)沒有完成目標(biāo)并無大礙。你可以失敗，但永遠(yuǎn)不要放棄。有的時候，你只需要相信。以此為目標(biāo)并為之努力奮斗，直至你達成目標(biāo)。克萊門特.斯通說過：“以月亮為目標(biāo)。即使你沒打中，你也許還能打到星星?！?/div>

Even if you fail to hit your goals after all the hard work, it is okay, because you will still have achieved something. If you never try, then the chances of you achieving something will be zero.
即便你努力過后沒有擊中目標(biāo)，那也沒什么，因為至少你還收獲一些。但是如果從不嘗試，那么你取得收獲的可能性只能是零。

5. Don't think too much, just do it
不要想太多，盡管放手去做

If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you'll never get it done. – Bruce Lee
如果你花費過多的時間去想某件事，那么你將永遠(yuǎn)也不會完成它-李小龍

Let's face it, before we start doing something new, something out of our comfort zone, we think about it for a long time. In the end, we did nothing other than thinking.
面對事實吧，每當(dāng)我們想要做一件新的事情，一件超越了我們舒適區(qū)的事時，我們總是花費大量時間來考慮這件事。最后，除了思考，我們什么事也沒做成。

This is especially true for those who are thinking of starting their own business or those who have crazy and unconventional ideas. They tend to think carefully of the plan and the risks involved in it. A lot of “what-if” questions will came across their minds. “What if this idea won't work out? What if the business fails?”
這對于那些想要開始創(chuàng)業(yè)或那些有著瘋狂的、不尋常想法的人尤為常見。他們總是傾向于仔細(xì)地思考計劃以及做這件事所涉略到的風(fēng)險。腦子里會浮現(xiàn)很多個“萬一”的問題。“萬一這個方法行不通怎么辦？萬一生意失敗怎么辦？”

“I'm not going to make it…” you tell yourself and finally you decided to give up. You gave up before you might have even taken a single step.
“我做不到啊…”你自言自語道，最后你決定放棄。你在還沒有邁出哪怕是很簡單的一步時就放棄了。

Remember Nike's slogan? Just do it! That's what you need to do – take action. Yes, it is okay to think thoroughly before doing anything. But the more time you spend on thinking, the more likely you won't do it. Think, but don't overthink. Don't get stuck in analysis-paralysis!
還記得耐克的宣傳語嗎？盡管去做吧！那正是你所需要做的-行動起來。是的，在做任何事前都要想清楚。但是你想的越多，你去實際做的可能性就越小。思考，但是不要過度思考。不要被優(yōu)柔寡斷阻礙了你前進的步伐！

6. Learn to control your temper
學(xué)會控制個人情緒

A quick temper will make a fool of you soon enough – Bruce Lee
急躁的脾氣早晚會令你更加出丑-李小龍

How many times have you lost your temper in the past? Countless times I suppose? And what happened next? Did the things you were angry about become better, or did it get worse? Admit it, your quick temper worsens the situation almost every time.
在過去的生活中你發(fā)過多少次脾氣？我猜想肯定是數(shù)不勝數(shù)吧？然后呢？令你生氣的事是變好了嗎，還是變的更糟糕呢？面對現(xiàn)實吧，你的暴跳如雷幾乎只會讓局面更糟糕。

Everyone experienced it before. We all know that letting our anger loose is harmful to us. We want to change that, but it is not easy to take control of our temper. We are only humans after all.
每個人都曾經(jīng)歷過情緒失控。我們都知道任由脾氣發(fā)泄只會傷害我們自己。我們想要改變它，但是想要控制情緒并不容易。畢竟我們只是普通人。

So, what can you do to control your temper? Well, there are many things you can do, but the best advice I can give is to take a deep breath and think it through. You still need oxygen when you're angry after all. Remember, always control your temper before it controls you!
那么，想要控制情緒我們能做些什么呢？其實，你有很多事可以做，但我能給出的最好的建議就是深呼吸，然后重新想一想。畢竟當(dāng)你生氣時你還是要呼吸的。記住，是你來控制情緒，而不是讓情緒來控制你！
