You've heard the expression, "What you see is what you get."

你听过这样的说法:“你得到的就是你想到的。”

My grandfather used to say, "If you look at a tree long enough, it will move."

我的祖父曾经说过:“如果你盯着一棵树看足够长的时间，树会移动。”

We see what we want to see. Psychologists tell us that nothing controls our lives more than our self-image. We live like the person we see in the mirror. We are what we think we are.

我们看到的就是我们想看到的。心理学家告诉我们，正是自我感觉在控制我们的生活，而不是其他任何事物。我们生活得像我们在镜子看到的人。我们会成为我们所想象成的那样。

If you don't think you'll be successful, you won't. You can't be it, if you can't see it. Your life is limited to your vision. If you want to change your life, you must change your vision of your life.

如果你认为自己不会成功，你就不会成功。如果你想不到，你就做不到。你的生活受限于你的视野。如果你想改变你的生活，你必须改变你的人生观。

Arnold Schwarzenegger was not that famous in 1976 when he met with a newspaper reporter. The reporter asked Schwarzenegger, "Now that you've retired from bodybuilding, what do you plan to do next?"

1976年，一名报社记者采访了阿诺德·施瓦辛格，当时他还不是特别出名。记者问施瓦辛格:“你现在已经退出了健美行业，下一步打算做什么?”

Schwarzenegger answered very calmly and confidently, "I'm going to be the movie star in Hollywood." The reporter was shocked and amused at Schwarzenegger's plan.

施瓦辛格平静而自信地回答说:“我要去好莱坞当电影明星。”记者对施瓦辛格的计划感到既震惊又好笑。

At that time, it was very hard to imagine how this muscle-bound bodybuilder, who was not a professional actor and who spoke poor English with a strong Austrian accent, could ever hope to be Hollywood's movie star!

当时，很难想象这个肌肉发达的健美运动员，没做过专业演员，英语说得也不好，还带着浓重的奥地利口音，怎么可能成为好莱坞的电影明星!

So when the reporter asked Schwarzenegger how he planned to make his dream come true.

所以当记者问施瓦辛格他打算如何实现梦想时。

Schwarzenegger said, "I'll do it the same way I became the bodybuilder in the world. What I do is to create a vision of who I want to be, then I start living like that person in my mind as if it were already true."

施瓦辛格说:“我会像我成为世界健美运动员那样去做。我所做的是创造一个愿景，成为我想成为的人，然后开始像我想象的那个人那样生活，就好像这个是人真实存在的。”

Sounds almost childishly simple, doesn't it? But it worked! Schwarzenegger did become the highest-paid movie star in Hollywood! Remember. "If you can see it, you can be it."

听起来很天真，不是吗？但他真的成功了！施瓦辛格的确成了好莱坞片酬最高的电影明星！记住。“如果你想得到，你就能做得到。”
