Nothing Succeeds Without a Strong Will

没有坚强的意志将无法成功

As we have read from above, quitting-smoking seems easy, but in reality it is rarely achieved. There is something provoking and interesting in this paradox¹, just because sword does not wear the stone as dripping water does.

正如上面我们所读到的，戒烟看似简单但却很难成功。这个论点上令人深思的、有趣,仅仅因为剑不像水一样能够穿石。

The ability to do something over and over again in a short time may imply its easiness, but in a long run, a lifetime maybe, things turn out to be quite the opposite. Also, as is often the case, one may have obtained all the tools and opportunities to achieve something, but in the end they still fail due to the will shortage.

在短时间内可以重复做的事情可能意味着它的易性，但从长远来看，也许一辈子，事情就是完全不一样的了。同时，通常情况下，一个人可以拥有所有实现一些东西的工具和机会，但最后他们还是因为缺乏意志而失败了。

So how could we avoid the dilemma²? Here is the prime condition of success: will and perseverance³. Concentrate you energy, thought and mind exclusively on the business in which you are engaged, hang on in there and be patient, for, as Emerson put it, no one can cheat you out of your ultimate success but yourself.

那么我们怎样才能避免这样的困境呢？这是成功的首要条件：意志和毅力。集中你的精力想你所从事的事业，坚持下去，要有耐心，正如爱默生所说，除了你自己没有人能帮你取得最终的成功。
