科比：你知道洛杉矶每天凌晨四点钟的样子！

2015年11月30日，37岁的NBA球员科比宣布本赛季后正式退役。

1次常规赛MVP，2次总决赛MVP，3连冠 ，4次全明星赛MVP，5枚总冠军戒指，6英尺6英寸的身高，7次晋级总决赛，9次最佳防守一阵，11次最佳阵容一阵，单场命中12个三分球，13顺位，单节命中14个罚球，15次圣诞大战，16届全明星，紫金19赛季，4场50+，历史50大巨星，单场81分，96黄金一代。

曾有记者采访科比，问他是怎样取得现在的成就的，科比说：你们知道凌晨四点钟的洛杉矶是什么样子的吗？记者摇摇头：“不知道。那你说说洛杉矶每天早上四点钟究竟什么样儿？”

每天洛杉矶早上四点仍然在黑暗中，我就起床行走在黑暗的洛杉矶街道上。一天过去了，洛杉矶的黑暗没有丝毫改变；两天过去了，黑暗依然没有半点改变；十多年过去了，洛杉矶街道早上四点的黑暗仍然没有改变，但我却已变成了肌肉强健，有体能、有力量，有着很高投篮命中率的运动员。”

有人说科比·布莱恩特是一位篮球天才，但是他却说：我的手和你的有什么不一样吗？我的手和你们的没什么不同，坚持不懈地努力，不知疲倦地练习，无怨无悔地付出，这就是一切问题的答案。我现在取得的成绩，你，同样可以做到！

今天为大家推荐NBA励志短片《你究竟有多想成功》，你们好多人都说自己想要成功，但实际上真的有那么想吗，还是只是有点想而已？

There was a young man who wanted to make a lot of money, and so he went to a guru. He told the guru he wanted to reach his level of greatness. And so the guru said: “If you want to be on the same level I’m on, I’ll meet you tomorrow at the beach.”

曾经有一个年轻人，他想赚很多很多的钱，所以他找到了一位他视为偶像的大师并告诉大师，他想成为像大师一样强大的人。大师说：“如果你想成为想我一样的人，那么明天早上来海滩见我。”

So the young man arrived at 4:00 a.m. He had on a suit, but he should have worn shorts. The old man grabbed his hand and said: “How bad do you want to be successful?” The young responded: “Badly.”

于是那个年轻人凌晨4点的时候就赶到了，想显得自己信心满满，西装革履，实际上他应该穿短裤…大师走过来握着他的手说：“你有多想要成功呢？” 年轻人答道：“我真的很想！”

So the old man told the young man to walk out into the water. It was waist deep. The young man thought: “This old man is crazy.”

接着大师让他走下水，海水差不多淹到年轻人的腰际，年轻人心想：大师真是疯了！

The young man said to himself: “I want to make money and this guy has me out here swimming. I didn’t ask to be a lifeguard. I want to make money.

年轻人心想：我只想赚钱，他却带我来这游泳！我可不想成为一个救生员，我只想赚钱！

Then the old man said: “Come out a little farther,” and the young man did so.

然后大师对年轻人说：“再走远一点！”然后年轻人就又走远了一些。

As the young man was up to his shoulders in water he again thought: “This old man is crazy! He’s making money, but he’s crazy.”

这时候海水差不多已经淹到他的肩膀附近了，他心里又再低估：这老家伙真是个疯子！他会赚钱，但却是个疯子。

The old man said, “Come out a little farther.”

而大师却一直说：“再走远一点，再远一点。”

The young man obeyed, but wavered as if he might turn back.

年轻人听从大师的话向前走着，但他却踌躇是否可以转身回去。

So the old man said: “I thought you said you wanted to be successful?”

老家伙这时候说：“你刚刚说你想成功？”

“I do,” said the student.

“是啊！”年轻人答道。

So the old man ordered the young man to come out even farther, and when he did he pushed the young man’s head under water and held it down. Although the young man fought, the old man would not let him up. Just before the young man passed out the old man raised his head above the surface and said: “When you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe, then you’ll be successful.”

于是大师让年轻人再走远些，这时大师把年轻人的头按到水里，尽管年轻人在挣扎，大师也不松手。就在年轻人快要不行的时候，大师把他拎了起来，然后说：“当你对成功的渴望足以与你对呼吸的渴望相媲美的时候，你就会成功！”

I don’t know how many of you have asthma today, but if you ever had an asthma attack before and you’re S.O.B. — you’ve got shortness of breath — and you’re wheezing, the only thing you’re trying to do is get some air. You don’t care about no basketball game. You don’t care what’s on TV. You don’t care about anybody calling you. You don’t care about a party. The only thing you care about when you’re trying to breathe is to get some fresh air. That’s it. And when you get to the point where all you want to do is be successful as bad as you want to breathe, then you’ll be successful.

我不知道有多少人曾经患过哮喘，你感到气息不足，你会深呼气并喘气。这时候你唯一要做的，就是去吸取空气。此时的你不会在意NBA停摆，不会在意电视正在播什么，不会在意没人给你打电话，不会在意派对上的琐事…这时候你只在意可以呼吸道一些新鲜空气，这就是全部了！当你对成功的渴望的理解就像对呼吸的渴望一样时，你就会取得成功！

Most of you say you want to be successful, but you don’t want it bad. You just kind of want it. You don’t want it badder than you want to party. You don’t want it as much as you want to be cool. Most of you don’t want success as much as you want to sleep. Some of you want sleep more than you want success. And I’m here to tell you today that if you want to be successful you got to be willing to give up sleep.

你们好多人都说自己想要成功，但实际上没有那么想，只是有点想而已。你们对成功的渴望甚至不如对派对的渴望，不如对耍帅的渴望。你们中的大多数人对成功的渴望甚至比不上对睡懒觉的渴望！你们中的一些人甚至更愿意睡懒觉而不是成功。而我要告诉你，如果你想要成功，你需要心甘情愿放弃睡懒觉。

You have to be willing to work off of three hours of sleep, two hours of sleep. If you really want to be successful, some day you’re going to have to stay up three days in a row because if you go to sleep you might miss the opportunity to be successful. That’s how bad you got to want it.

你会愿意扔掉两小时甚至是三小时的睡眠时间，如果你真的很想成功。有些时候，你可能会连续三天熬夜，因为如果你这时候去睡觉，你也许会失去一些成功的机会，这正是考验你有多想成功的时刻。

Listen to me. You’ve got to want to be successful so bad, you forget to eat.

听着，你甚至会因为想成功而忘记吃饭。

Beyonce said one day she was on the set doing her thing and three days went by. She forgot that she didn’t eat because she was engaged.

碧昂斯说过，她曾经因为忙于一些事物以至于三天过去，她竟然忘记自己还没有吃过饭，她太过于用心了。

I’ll never forget, when 50 Cent was doing his movie I did a little research on him and 50 said when he wasn’t doing the movie, he was doing the soundtrack. And they said: “When do you sleep, 50?”

我记得，当50 Cent第一次当电影导演的时候我采访过他，他当时说他如果不在做电影的时候也一定是在做他的录音带。然后就有人问他：“50 Cent你什么时候睡觉？”

He said: “Sleep? Sleep is for those people who are broke. I don’t sleep.” He said, “I have an opportunity to make a dream become a reality.”

50 Cent说：“睡觉？只有破产的人才睡觉！我不睡觉，因为我现在有了一个实现梦想的机会！”

Don’t quit. You’re already in pain. You’re already hurt. Get a reward from it! Don’t go to sleep until you succeed.

不要去想到放弃，你已经感受过疼痛。你已经受过伤，争取得到奖赏吧！不要去睡觉直到成功！

I’m here to tell you today that you can come here, you can jump up, you can do flips, you can be excited when we give out money but listen to me: You will never be successful until I don’t have to give you a dime to do what you do. You won’t be successful until you say: “I don’t need that money because I got it in here.”

听着，我今天告诉你，你可以来这里，你可以逛来逛去，花钱的时候你也可以花的很兴奋，但是听好，如果你没有狠狠地逼自己一把的话，你就是不成功的。直到你不再会安慰自己说，其实我不需要那些钱，我已经拥有了我想要的一切！
