1.You’re more likely to kill yourself than anyone else.

“You can be replaced too..”

“你也能被代替…”

When Carl Lewis ran a 100m sprint³ under 10 seconds for the first time; it was like the whole world came to a standstill. A feat⁴ that has not been achieved before in history and that cannot be achieved by anyone in future, ever again.

当卡尔?刘易斯第一次以不到10秒的成绩跑完百米时，全世界仿佛都静止了。历史上从未有过如此成绩，未来也不会再有人取得这样的成绩。

However, the sad truth of life is that you can never stay on top of the podium for long. From then on, there have been at least 100 odd sprinters who have surpassed the 10 sec mark.

然而令人悲哀的生活真相是你永远不会在领奖台上停留太久。那以后，至少有100名短跑神将破了10秒的记录。

The same applies to all of us. We can all be replaced; be it in our family, office or neighborhood. It’s just that the right person has to come up at the right time to knock you off.

这也适用于我们所有人。我们都会被替代，无论是在家庭里、工作上还是社会上。总会有对的人适时出现把你换掉。
