Habit习惯
In truth,
the only difference between those
who have failed and those who
have succeeded lies in the
difference of their habits.
Good habits are the key to all success.
Bad habits are the unlocked door to failure.
Thus, the first law I will obey is that
I will form good habits and become their slave.
事实上，
成功与失败的最大区别，
来自不同的习惯。
好习惯是开启成功的钥匙，
坏习惯则是一扇向失败敞开的门。
因此，我首先要做的便是养成
良好的习惯，
全心全意去实行。

It may take time and hard work.

Sometimes you may even wonder if the struggle is really worth it.
But I have confidence in you.
I believe you will succeed.
I know you’ll make it, if you try.
Whatever you do, just don’t give up.
Your dreams will come true.
I love you.

成功需要时间、需要勤奋，
成功得流汗、流泪。

有时，你甚至不知道是否值得拼搏。
但是我对你充满信心，
我相信你会成功。
只要你尝试，你就会成功。
不管你做什么，都不要放弃。
你的梦想会成为现实。
我爱你们!
