Why are you not reaching the success?

你為什么沒有成功？

You fear success.

你害怕成功

Forget fear of failure, it’s fear of success that kicks us the hardest. It's the darnedest thing, too — the kind of thing that you don't imagine possible, until one day you realize that you really don't know what to do with yourself if you ever accomplish your goals. On the other side of success is the unknown, and believe it or not, the unknown is often scarier than the known world of struggle and unfulfillment this side of success. When I realized this, one night as I drifted unhappily to sleep, it jerked me straight up in my bed!

忘記對失敗的恐懼之后，對成功的恐懼最使我們受傷。這也是件最可恨的事。你不太可能會想到這類事，直到有一天，你真正意識到，如果你達到了所有設立的目標，你將無事可做。成功的另一面是未知，不管你相信與否，未知都比現實世界中的斗爭和未達到成功更可怕。一天晚上，當我不開心地漸漸入睡時，一想到這些，我就猛地從床上坐了起來！

My father, an avid collector of seemingly random quotes, is fond of saying that insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. (I've never had the heart to ask him why he keeps saying this….) At some point, you have to stop doing whatever you're doing and figure out why you're doing it, especially if it doesn't seem to be getting you where you want to be. When you do, I think you’ll find that at least one of the above applies to you. Whatever your reasons, though, the important thing is to realize that it's in your nature neither to be a failure, nor to be a success, that success is something we make rather than something that happens to us — and when you realize that, you can start to make the changes that move you from "insanity" to success.

我的父親，喜歡收集一些看似隨機的格言。他喜歡說的一句話就是，瘋狂就是總是重復相同的事卻期望有不同的結果。（我從沒有用心問過他為什么老是這么說……）某個時候，你得停下任何你在做的事，想一想你為什么要這樣做，特別是在你做的事并沒有讓你達到目標的時候。一旦你這樣做了，我想你將會找出至少一條上面說的情況與你相符。不論你的理由是什么，最重要的是你要明白，你的本質并不是要成為一個失敗者或成功者，成功是要爭取的，它不會自動發生在我們身上。一旦你意識到這些，你就能開始做出改變，這將會促使你從“愚蠢”走向成功。
