Where There Is a Will, There Is a Way
有志者事竟成
This statement means that if you are really determined to do something, however difficult it might be, you will find a way of doing it at last. The point is that you must have the will that you are to succeed.
这句话的意思是，如果你真的下定决心去做某事，不管它有多难，最后你都会找到方法的。关键是你有要成功的意志。
Ninety percent of the failures that occur are due to the fact there is no strong will. Many people simply say that they want something, but they do not make any attempt to achieve it. Thus, instead of getting it, they use the weakest excuses to explain the situation away.
On many occasions, too, people probably say much more than the truth about difficulties, making the objective impossible to reach. In fact, if one has the will to succeed, then the size of the obstacles① will seem smaller, and one can achieve one's goals.
百分之九十的失败是基于没有坚强的意志的事实。许多人只是说说他们想要某样东西而已，但他们没有做任何努力去得到它。因此，他们用最牵强的借口来解释这个情况而不是努力得到它。在许多情况下，人们可能夸大的描述困难，使目标不可能达到。事实上，如果有成功的意志，障碍的规模将变得越来越小，并能实现自己的目标。
If one wants to succeed, he should not allow obstacles or failures to prevent him from acting. He should learn to make his will stronger and to determine himself to achieve his ambitions.
如果一个人想要成功，他不应该允许障碍或失败来阻止他的行动。他应该学会使意志变得更坚强，下定实现理想的决心。
One's will should be strong enough to wash or sweep away the difficulties in one's path to success. If one really has a strong will, then, somehow or other②, one will find a way to get what one wants, or reaches where one aims at arriving.
一个人的意志应该坚强到足以扫除自己通往成功路上的困难。如果一个人真的有坚强的意志，那么，不知为什么，他能找获得自己想要的东西的方法，或实现目标。
Many a famous man succeeded in arriving in their high social position because they had the will to overcome obstacles which were seemingly too difficult to be passed. They have managed to succeed because they controlled the will which helped them to achieve fame.
许多伟人成功地取得他们在社会上的高地位是 因为他们有克服似乎是过难的困难的意志。他们取得成功是因为他们控制了能帮助他们取得名利的意志。
From what I say above, we can see that the main thing which one needs is will. Weak-willed people never make it to the top. A strong willed person, on the other hand, will stand up against all odds and will make it a point to succeed at last.
从以上我所说的，我们可以看到，一个人最重要的意志。意志薄弱的人永远不会做到最好。另一方面，意志坚强的人会不顾一切将站起来对抗，最后取得成功。
