Discipline = Freedom (Jocko Willink)

There are no shortcuts. There are no hacks. If you want to take the easy road, I promise you: It’s longer and more painful than the hard road. I know. I’ve lived it. I’ve ventured down the easy road at times in my life and it never led to anywhere good.
人生沒有捷徑，也不能投機取巧。如果你想輕松地過一生，它可能會比你想象中的要漫長和痛苦許多。之所以這么說是因為我栽過跟頭。在我的生命中，我曾走過許多次捷徑，但結(jié)局卻總是不盡人意。

The positive things in my life always came when I faced the biggest challenges. I joined the Navy. I took the hard road in the Navy and made it into the SEAL Teams. There, I had the honor of leading men in combat. I learned some lessons along the way, lessons that have been tested on the battlefield and, when implemented, lead to success in any arena. One of the best things I’ve learned is that anyone has what it takes to travel the hard road—to walk The Path that leads to success. That includes you. It won’t be easy. It will demand everything you’ve got to give. But you can do it.
人生中的高光時刻往往是那些面對重大挑戰(zhàn)的時刻。我曾參過軍，知難而進地選擇了海軍，最后一路撐到了海豹突擊隊。在那里，我有幸成為了領(lǐng)頭兵。這一路當(dāng)中，我在戰(zhàn)場上體會到了許多從未體會過的成功法則。其中最值得一提的感悟是：選擇越艱難的道路就越接近成功，這條法則同樣也適用于你，你需要奮不顧身地去努力。不過，要相信你是可以的。

I want to give you three key principles I’ve learned that will help you to get it done. Principle number one: Discipline. Equals. Freedom. That’s not a contradiction—it’s an equation. Discipline might appear to be the opposite of freedom. But, in fact, discipline is the path to freedom. Discipline is the driver of daily execution. Discipline defeats the infinite excuses that hold you back. 
我來分享一下助我成功的三條法則。第一條：紀(jì)律等于自由。二者并非矛盾，而是相輔相成的。紀(jì)律或許被視為自由的反面，但其實，紀(jì)律是執(zhí)行任務(wù)的內(nèi)驅(qū)力。紀(jì)律會讓那些阻礙你的借口不攻自破。

Some people think motivation is what will compel them to get things done. But motivation is just an emotion—a feeling, and like all feelings, it’s fickle: It comes and goes. You can’t count on motivation to be there when you need to get through truly challenging times. But you can count on discipline. Discipline is something you dictate. Motivation won’t make you exercise every day; discipline will. Motivation won’t stay up late and finish a project for you; discipline will. Motivation isn’t going to get you out of bed in the morning; discipline will. Make discipline part of your daily life and your daily life will get better.
有人覺得動力會激勵他們來達成目標(biāo)，但動力其實只是一種情緒，一種感覺，和所有感覺一樣，它是來去無常、飄渺不定的。動力可能不會幫你渡過一個個難關(guān)、越過一座座高山，但是紀(jì)律可以，紀(jì)律是你的內(nèi)驅(qū)力。動力可能不會讓你天天堅持鍛煉身體，但是紀(jì)律可以。動力可能不會讓你熬夜去完成任務(wù)，但是紀(jì)律可以。動力可能不能讓你早起，但是紀(jì)律可以。如果紀(jì)律可以成為習(xí)慣，那么生活一定會更好。
