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...

【參考譯文】
請想一分鐘!前英國首相溫斯頓•丘吉爾的演講非常著名，以至于有人稱他是上世紀(jì)世界上最偉大的演講家。他也因反應(yīng)敏捷和妙語連珠的解釋和見解而聞名于世。然而他本不是天才的演講家。事實上，在丘吉爾的早年生活中，他說話結(jié)結(jié)巴巴，人們常取笑他的說話方式。
你知道丘吉爾是怎樣變成上個世紀(jì)最偉大的演講家的嗎?他逐字逐句在紙上寫下演講稿，然后練習(xí)。他甚至練習(xí)停頓，即使可以口若懸河，也故做停頓，裝出在字斟句酌的樣子。每一次演講他都要在鏡前花費(fèi)許多小時練習(xí)。他反復(fù)推敲每個字的正確表達(dá)方式，一直練到可以在恰到好處的面部表情下表達(dá)出來。你看，盡管溫斯頓•丘吉爾不是天生的優(yōu)秀演說家，但通過自我刻苦訓(xùn)練，他終于修成了大家。
朋友，不通過磨練和努力，你我都不會在生活中獲得成功。因為在你的工作和職業(yè)生涯中，在學(xué)校、在體育活動中，在你的婚姻和家庭中，需要汗水才能培育成功。即使你出生于富貴家庭，或聰慧過人、體格強(qiáng)健，你仍然必須通過艱苦努力去發(fā)揮你所有的潛能，以獲得真正的成功。請想一分鐘……
