1. Timidity
膽怯
Every path to success begins with agreat idea. There's only one problem: Great ideas are a dime a dozen. What really matters when it comes to becoming a success is not having the idea but having the courage to transform that idea into reality. This usually means a risk of losing the security of a regular job and risking a steady paycheck. Only the brave ever overcome this first of the pitfalls.
每條成功之路都源於一個偉大的想法。 唯一的問題是：偉大的想法遍地都是。 對於成功而言， 真正重要的並不是擁有這個想法，
2. Laziness
懶惰
Even with a great idea and the courage to pursue it, your efforts will be for naught unless you're willing to take massive action. Write down your goals and (more important) the action steps you'll take to pursue those goals. Post your vision and plan in your bedroom,bathroom, office. Share it with others, so they'll hold you accountable for delivering on your plan. Make yourself accountable and become the master of your destiny.
即使有了偉大的想法， 也有勇氣去追求， 但除非你願意採取大量的行動， 否則你的努力還是徒勞無功。 寫下你的目標， 更重要的是寫下你為實現目標所採取的行動步驟。 把你的願景和計畫做成海報貼在你的臥室、衛生間和辦公室裡。 與他人分享， 這樣他們將督促你實現你的計畫。 對自己負責， 讓自己成為命運的主人。
