英漢互譯 勵(lì)志美文-The things that other people don’t or won’t do.

Many people want to get ahead. Yet, most sit back and critique those who are successful. They wonder how a few are able to excel where the majority struggle.
每個(gè)人都想朝前走。當(dāng)然總有那些在你身后嫉妒你成功的人們。他們不懂為什么只有少數(shù)人能走過(guò)大多數(shù)人都無(wú)法逾越的困境。
If you want to get ahead, there is not a shortcut or secret. However, one place to start is to do the things that successful people do. The things that other people don’t or won’t do.
