Fear comes from the fact that you THINK you cannot act or will act incorrectly. But if you actually try, even though you’re scared as hell, you’ll often realize that these fears didn’t have any foundations. They can be blown away if you tell yourself you’ll just do it whatever happen. In many cases you’ll think that death is your worse case, but you have to realize you’re over-exagerating.
当你觉得你无法完成一件事或者将会搞砸一件事的时候，恐惧感就会产生。但是，假如你去尝试，你常常会意识到那种恐惧其实是毫无依据的，尽管你当时害怕得要死。如果你对你自己说不管会发生什么事我就是要这样做，恐惧就会消失的无影无踪。许多情况下，你会觉得死亡是最件糟糕的事，但是你必须要意识到的是你有点夸大其词了。
It’s crazy how much our brain can work in order to protect us against ourself. Imagine you’re in a plane, about to jump out of it to do some parachuting. You’ve never done that before. When you’re about to jump, the brain jumps in and start giving you every bit of information it has against parachuting because fear has a seed into you brain. But if you’ve been jumping out of airplanes for ages, let me tell you the brain simply doesn’t care anymore because it knows nothing will (generally) happen. This concept is the core idea of doing one thing that scares you every day.
为了保护我们自己，我们的大脑会不顾一切地让我们去做事与愿违的事。想象一下，你在一架飞机中正准备跳伞，这时大脑会灌输一些负面的信息让你无法顺利跳伞，那是因为恐惧像种子那样扎根在我们的头脑中。假如你此前有几年的跳伞经历的话，我可以告诉你，你的大脑不会有所顾忌，因为你知道不会有意外发生。这个概念是“每一天做一件你害怕的事”的核心理念。
When you push your limits, the number of fears you have start to decrease. With time you will start understanding that all those fears are just crap that your brain creates to protect you from the unknown but you’ll also know that this unknown is not THAT dangerous. Approaching girls on the street is something many guys are just going to freeze if they have to do it, but it is possible. It just takes time and effort. If you do it one step at a time you’ll realize that there’s nothing really dangerous about doing it.
当你将自己推向自己能力的极限的时候，让你感到恐惧的事就会开始减少。久而久之你会渐渐领悟其实所有的恐惧都是你的大脑出于保护自己的本能而产生的，而且你也会领悟到那些未知的恐惧没有你潜意识中认为的那样危险。在街上慢慢接近女孩这个举动会让许多男孩手足无措，但这并不是无法办到的事。只是要花费一点时间和工夫。如果你有计划的一步步做一件事，你会发现其实所谓的危险也没什么大不了的。
What is really interesting from doing this technique every day is that you experience a good amount of adrenaline through your body. It’s also really great to have done something you thought you couldn’t do. Doing this will make your life at least a thousand time better because there won’t be any barriers to stop you. You’ll get a better life, more respect from your peers, more control over yourself and will be able to share lots of experiences other might never thought about doing because they are too scared to follow the “Do one thing every day that scares you” mentality. But YOU ARE STRONG.
每天做这样一件技术活的有趣之处就是你体内会产生大量的肾上腺素。而且假如你完成了原先你认为做不到的事，你会感觉非常棒。做这样的事至少可以让你现在的生活好上一千倍以上，因为不会再有阻止你的障碍了。你会过上更好的生活，获得来自同行们的更多的尊敬，而且你能更好地控制你自己，能够分享许多别人想都不敢想的经历，因为他们太害怕了以至于不能够追随“每一天做一件你畏惧的事”。但是你很坚强。
If you do things you think shouldn’t be doing, sometimes you get opposite results: you get what you were looking for. Take this example: you put money into a saving account which gives you a poor return rate but you do so because you are “scared” of losing your money. You decide it’s time to apply your new mentality and take the money and start buying shares instead. Maybe for the first transactions you’ll have a bit of a rush/adrenaline going on because you aren’t sure of what’s going to happen, but then you are really proud of what you did. Even though you might have made mistakes, by doing what you were afraid of you removed a barrier you had. As time goes by, you learn how the market works and you’ll get better. You’ll might even make thousands of thousand by doing it. And now you’re REALLY happy because you got past what you were looking for: earning something with the money you had. What the real accomplishment is, is that you’ve shown to yourself you were able to get over a fear you had. Amazing.
如果你做一些你原本认为不应该做的事，有时你会得到相反的结果：你得到了你渴望的东西。举个列子来说：你把钱放进了回报率很低的储蓄账户，因为你害怕损失钱财。于是你觉得是时候要改变心态，把钱取出来转而买进股票。也许在第一轮交易中你会莽撞行事，因为你不确定接下来会发生什么，但是接着你会对你所做的事感到非常自豪。既是你有可能会犯些错误，但你会渐渐明白市场是怎么运作的，之后你会越来越好。你也许甚至会成千上百次的去做这件事。现在你真正地感到幸福，因为你得到了你渴望已久的东西：用自己的钱去投资并获得回报。真是太棒了。
Fear is the only thing that limits you from acting and YOU WANT TO ACT. Don’t let those fears control you for all your life, start showing them who’s the real boss here.
恐惧是唯一一件阻扰你去做你想要做的事的东西。不要让这些恐惧控制你一生，让它瞧瞧谁才是你命运的真正主人。
