The Sweat of Success 成功的汗水

Think a minute! The Former Prime Minister of England, Winston Churchill, became so famous for his great speeches that he's been called the greatest speaker of the century.  He was also famous for his quick thinking remarks and comments. Yet he was not a natural or gifted speaker. In fact, earlier in Churchill's life he had a speech problem so that many people laughed and made fun of the way he talked.
But do you know how Churchill changed to become the greatest speaker of this century? He wrote his speeches word-for-word on paper, and practised them.  He even practised the pauses and pretended to struggle to find the right word or phrase, even though he knew exactly what he was going to say! And he practised each speech many hours in front of a mirror. He worked on saying each word just the right way and even the expressions he used on his face when he spoke. You see, Winston Churchill was not a natural good speaker, but he disciplined himself and worked hard to become a great one!
And friend, you and I can never succeed in life without discipline and hard work.  Because it takes work and sweat to succeed in your job and career, in school, in sport, in your marriage and family.  Because even if you're born in a rich family, or with a smart mind or a strong body, you still have to work hard to truly succeed and reach your potential. Just think a minute...

请想一分钟!前英国首相温斯顿•丘吉尔的演讲非常著名，以至于有人称他是上世纪世界上最伟大的演讲家。他也因反应敏捷和妙语连珠的解释和见解而闻名于世。然而他本不是天才的演讲家。事实上，在丘吉尔的早年生活中，他说话结结巴巴，人们常取笑他的说话方式。
你知道丘吉尔是怎样变成上个世纪最伟大的演讲家的吗?他逐字逐句在纸上写下演讲稿，然后练习。他甚至练习停顿，即使可以口若悬河，也故做停顿，装出在字斟句酌的样子。每一次演讲他都要在镜前花费许多小时练习。他反复推敲每个字的正确表达方式，一直练到可以在恰到好处的面部表情下表达出来。你看，尽管温斯顿•丘吉尔不是天生的优秀演说家，但通过自我刻苦训练，他终于修成了大家。
朋友，不通过磨练和努力，你我都不会在生活中获得成功。因为在你的工作和职业生涯中，在学校、在体育活动中，在你的婚姻和家庭中，需要汗水才能培育成功。即使你出生于富贵家庭，或聪慧过人、体格强健，你仍然必须通过艰苦努力去发挥你所有的潜能，以获得真正的成功。请想一分钟……
