Well, let me tell you something. The next morning when I got up, my body was so sore that I couldn't even lift my arms to comb my hair. I had to have my mother comb my hair, and you know how embarrassing that is. But you know something? I learned a very important lesson, that pain means progress. Pain is progress. Each time my muscles were sore from a workout I knew that they were growing and they were getting stronger.
第二天早上起床，我渾身酸痛，連舉手梳頭都無能為力，只好叫我母親幫我梳頭——這真令人難堪！可你們知道嗎，我獲得了一個非常重要的教訓：疼痛意味著進步。要想進步就得吃苦。每次我因過度訓練而感覺肌肉酸痛時，我知道，我的肌肉在增長、在強壯。
I think there is a real life lesson in that. After two or three years of discipline and determination and working out hard, I actually changed my body, and I changed my strength. And that told me something; that if I could change my body that much, and if I could change the strength of my body that much, then I could also change anything else. I could change my habits, I could change my intelligence, I could change my attitude, my mind, my future, my life. And this is exactly what I have done. I think that that lesson applies to people, and it also applies to countries. You can change; China can change; everyone in the world can change.
我認為，那其中蘊含著人生真諦。經過兩三年意志上的磨練和體力上的鍛煉，我最終改變了我的身體，我的力氣也變大了。這件事告訴我，如果能在很大程度上改變我的身體，增強我的力氣，我就能改變其他的一切：我能改變不好的習慣，能增強我的智慧，能改變我的態度、思想以及我的未來和我的人生。事實上我已經做到了。我想，這一教訓也適用于任何人，也適用于任何國家。你們可以改變，中國可以改變，世界上每一個人都可以改變。
My parents, of course, I have to tell you, didn't understand my dreams at all. They were always wondering. They said, "What is he doing? When are you going to get a job, a real job? When are you going to make money?" And all of those questions I got. And they said, "I hope we didn't raise a hum, someone that doesn't make money and just wants to live in a gymnasium and think about their bodies." Well, I endured all of this negative thinking, and the more negative the thinking got, and the more negative the questions got, the stronger and the more positive I became, the stronger I became inside.
當然，我得告訴你們，我父母根本無法理解我的夢想。他們總是疑惑地問：“他在做什么呢？你什么時候能得到一份工作、一份真正的工作？你什么時候能掙錢？”還有一些類似的疑惑。他們會說：“希望我們養的不是一個尋歡作樂的兒子，一個不掙錢卻只想在健身館里考慮他的身材的人。”我承受了所有這一切消極的想法，而且這些想法越消極，我就變得越積極；這些疑慮越多，我就變得越堅強，我的內心也變得更強大。
So of course some of your families maybe think the same way, and this is why I'm mentioning that. Some of your families maybe don't believe in your drems. But let me tell you something, my young friends. Keep your dreams. No matter what, keep your dreams. Don't give up on them, even when you temporarily defeated or denied. Keep your dreams.
當然你們中有些人的家人可能也會這么想，這也是我提起這件事的原因。你們的家人也許不相信你們的夢想，介是，朋友們，讓我告訴你們，執著于你的夢想！無論如何，堅持你們的夢想。即使你們遭遇暫時的失敗或被否定，也不要放棄你們的夢想。執著于你的夢想。
