Some business advice changes all the time, but there's also some advice that's relevant and useful no matter what year it is, or what business you're in.

    商業(yè)忠告始終在變，但是有些忠告無論在什么年代、對什么行業(yè)都是相通并有幫助的。

    1 --Push through your limitations 突破你的限制

    "The successful person makes a habit of doing what the failing person doesn't like to do."

    --Thomas Edison

    "成功的人養(yǎng)成了做失敗者不愿干的事的習(xí)慣。" --托馬斯·愛迪生

    Business is scary. It can be new, difficult, frustrating, and many other things--but if you push through those limitations and do the things that are hard you might see the best of what business can be: rewarding, lucrative, challenging, and fun.

    商業(yè)是充滿風(fēng)險的。它可能是全新的、困難的、讓人灰心的以及其他遭遇--但是如果你突破這些限制，并按照自己的意愿努力工作，商業(yè)中好的一面將呈現(xiàn)在你的面前：回報、利益、挑戰(zhàn)和樂趣。

    Pushing yourself can be hard, but it's worth it in the end.

    自我超越可能會很困難，但最終它是值得的。

    2 --Never stop improving 不斷改進

    "An organization's ability to learn, and translate that learning into action rapidly, is the ultimate competitive advantage." --Jack Welch

    "一個團體有學(xué)習(xí)的能力并把所學(xué)迅速轉(zhuǎn)化為行動，這就是無窮的競爭優(yōu)勢。" --杰克·韋爾奇

    The world changes, and things are always moving forward. In order to keep up, it's critical to always learn and always improve.

    世界不斷變遷，事物永遠向前發(fā)展。為了趕上時代的步伐，不斷學(xué)習(xí)、不斷的提高至關(guān)重要。

    In business, the companies who are most successful are the ones who keep learning, keep improving, and keep adapting.

    商業(yè)上，最為成功的公司是那些保持學(xué)習(xí)、不斷進步和與時俱進的公司。

    3 --Action is more important than talk 行動勝于言語

    "The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing." --Walt Disney

    "開始做一件事的時候，就應(yīng)該停止討論并馬上開始工作。" --沃特·迪斯尼

    We've all heard the cliche before, actions speak louder than words; but it has real truth in business. Action is what matters, not talk, or ideas, or even how much money you have. If business success is what you want, than you need to take action.

    我們都聽過這句陳詞濫調(diào)--行動勝于言語，這在商業(yè)中是至理名言。行動不是言談，不是想法，也與你有多少錢無關(guān)。如果你想取得商業(yè)上的成功，那就必須采取行動。

    4 --Success takes hard work 成功來自努力工作

    "Only one who devotes himself to a cause with his whole strength and soul can be a true master. For this reason mastery demands all of a person." --Albert Einstein

    "只有那些把全部精力和心血都投入到一個目標(biāo)中去的人，才能成為大師。因為精通一行需要一個人全身心的投入。" --阿爾伯特·愛因斯坦

    Doing well in business requires effort. A lot of effort.

    經(jīng)商需要努力，并且是非常多的努力。

    Those who achieve the most are often the ones who are the most passionate, and most determined to reach their goals--because they devote themselves to the cause and put in the effort that others cant. It takes time, but with focus and hard work you'll almost always do well.

    成就最大的人往往是那些最富有激情和最堅定去實現(xiàn)目標(biāo)的人--因為他們把自己奉獻給了這個事業(yè)，并比他人付出更多的努力。成功需要時間，但只要擁有專注和努力，你就無往不利了。

    5 --Hard work brings happiness （and success） 努力工作帶來快樂（和成功）

    "Satisfaction does not come with achievement, but with effort. Full effort is full victory."

    --Mahatma Gandhi

    "滿足感并不來自于成就，而是來自于努力。全力以赴才能全面勝利。" --甘地

    Even the best intentions and efforts don't always lead to where you thought, but that's okay, because it isn't the goal that counts. The act of giving yourself to a cause, and working with your full ability, is what will bring real satisfaction.

    即便你有了很好的意圖并且付出了最大的努力，但并不總能獲得你想要的結(jié)果，這是可以接受的，因為目標(biāo)并不是唯一考慮的因素。為實現(xiàn)目標(biāo)付諸行動，在工作上用盡全力，那將帶給你真正的滿足感。

    And if you put in your whole effort, you're still much more likely to get what you want, too.

    如果你付出全部的努力，你獲得想要的東西的可能性也就越大。

    6 --Don't be afraid of failure 不要害怕失敗

    "Success is not built on success. It's built on failure. It's built on frustration. Sometimes its built on catastrophe." --Sumner Redstone

    "成功不是建立在成功之上，而是建立在失敗之上，建立在挫折之上，有時它還是建立在大災(zāi)難之上。" --薩默·雷石東

    Being afraid of doing something wrong is human nature, but it's not in your best interest. Failing is one of the best ways to learn, and is often one of the only ways to become truly successful.

    害怕做錯事是人的天性，但這并不能使你獲得最大的利益。失敗是最好的學(xué)習(xí)方法，也常常是獲得真正成功的唯一途徑。

    Fail early, fail often, and don't be afraid to learn from your mistakes.

    早失敗，常失敗，不要害怕向自己所犯的錯誤學(xué)習(xí)。

    7 --Strive to provide something great 致力于做一些偉大的事情

    "A lot of companies have chosen to downsize, and maybe that was the right thing for them. We chose a different path. Our belief was that if we kept putting great products in front of customers, they would continue to open their wallets." --Steve Jobs

    "許多公司選擇縮小規(guī)模，這對于它們或許是正確的。但是我們選擇不同的途徑。我們的信仰就是如果我們把偉大的產(chǎn)品展示在消費者面前，那么消費者們會持續(xù)為此付款。" --斯蒂夫·喬布斯

    Perhaps the most important piece of advice in business is to create something that is great and valuable. If you can provide your customers with a great product or a great service, chances are they'll come back for more and tell their friends too.

    或許商業(yè)中最為重要的一條忠告就是制造偉大和有價值的產(chǎn)品。如果你為顧客提供偉大的產(chǎn)品或者極好的服務(wù)，他們再回來消費并且口碑相傳的機會就會更大。

    Learn to understand your customers, learn what they really need, and then do your best to provide them with that. Even when all else fails, providing an awesome product will usually lead to success.

    學(xué)著理解你的顧客，知道他們想要什么，然后盡你所能地提供給他們。即使其他的產(chǎn)品都失敗了，令人敬畏的產(chǎn)品將總能通向成功。
