Failure is inevitable if we are to succeed in life. Unfortunately, many people do not know how to overcome failure, and they are stopped by it when theyencounter one. The ability to overcome failure is one big difference between successful and mediocre people. Here are some tips to help you overcome failure:

　　如果我们想要在生活中获得成功，失败就是不可避免的。然而，我们很多人在遇到失败的时候，都不知道如何去战胜它，只好停滞不前。成功人士和平庸的人的区别就在于他们战胜失败的能力。下面就介绍一些如何战胜失败的好方法。

　　1. Rise up and don’t regret

　　站起来不后悔

　　A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.——George Bernard Shaw

　　比起一辈子的碌碌无为，犯错不仅光荣，而且有益。——萧伯纳

　　When we fail, we might be tempted to think that we have wasted our time and thus regret it. But that’s should not be the case. The fact that you have done something is much better than doing nothing. Rise up and move on. The regret lies not in doing, but in not doing.

　　当我们遭遇失败的时候，我们可能会后悔自己浪费了那么多的时间去做一件失败的事情。但事实并不是这样的，去做永远比不做好。失败了，就再站起来，继续前行。我们不应该后悔去做了什么事，而是要后悔没去做什么事。

　　2. Understand that failure is there to bring you wisdom

　　失败可以带来智慧

　　Good people are good because they’ve come to wisdom through failure.——William Saroyan

　　的人之所以是因为他们能从失败中获得智慧。——威廉·萨洛扬(美国小说家、剧作家)

　　Failure is there not without a reason. It’s there to give you the wisdom you need to succeed. Each failure you encounter increases your wisdom and brings you one step closer to success. If you have this mindset, you will see failure differently. You will see each failure as an opportunity to learn.

　　失败总是有原因的，它会带给你成功所需要的智慧。每一次的失败都会增长你的智慧，带领你向成功更进一步。如果你有这样的觉悟，那么你就能从另一个角度来看待失败：失败其实是一次学习的机会。

　　3. Learn as much as possible from the failure

　　从失败中多多学习

　　Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.——Albert Einstein

　　向昨天学习,为了今天而活,为了明天而充满希望。——爱因斯坦

　　While failure brings you wisdom, how much wisdom you will get depends entirely on your ability to harvest it. So don’t waste the opportunity to learn; harvest wisdom as much as possible from the failure. If you fail to do this, you may waste a lot of time by repeating the same mistakes in the future.

　　失败给你带来智慧，但你能从失败中获得多少智慧就要看你从失败中学习的能力了。所以不要浪费学习的机会，尽可能多地从失败中获得智慧。如果你做不到这一点的话，以后你还是会一再地重复过去的失败。

　　4. Don’t give up; maybe you are only one step away from success

　　不放弃：你离成功只有一步之遥

　　Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.——Thomas A. Edison

　　许多人失败是因为他们在离成功只有一步之遥的时候放弃了。——爱迪生

　　The thought of giving up is tempting, especially when we have failed over and over again. But who knows that maybe you are only one step away from success? Will you waste the long journey you have passed when you are already so close to your destination? So hold on tight and don’t give up.

　　放弃的念头总是在脑中萦绕，尤其是当你一再地遭遇失败的时候。但是，谁又知道你是不是离成功只差一步了呢?你会不会在走过了漫长的旅途后，在离终点很近的时候放弃呢?所以，坚持住，不要放弃。

　　5. Maintain your enthusiasm

　　保持热情

　　Not only you should keep on trying, you should also do it with the same level of enthusiasm as when you first began. Otherwise your subsequenteffort will have less and less power.

　　你不仅要不断尝试，还要保持住最开始的那种热情的状态。不然的话，你会越来越失去继续努力的力量。

　　So how do you maintain enthusiasm? One good way is by realizing that you are now one step closer to success. There’s no reason not to be enthusiastic when you are getting closer to success. Another way is to keep your mind on the destination, which brings us to the next point.

　　那么如何才能保持热情呢?一个好方法就是意识到你其实力成功只有一步之遥了。眼看着就要成功了，你哪有不坚持到底的理由呢。还有一个方法就是始终牢记你的目标，它将会指引你一直走下去。

　　6. Keep dreaming big dreams

　　梦想要足够大

　　Always have your destination in mind; keep dreaming your big dreams. Spend time to visualize them and let the dreams energize you. Let them make you passionate and enthusiastic. Once you cease dreaming, soon you will also lose your energy and be back to mediocrity.

　　始终铭记你的梦想，做你的梦，不要停。花点时间去构想你的美梦，这会带给你动力，激情和冲劲。一旦你停止梦想，你就会失去继续前行的力量，又变回一个平庸的人。

　　7. Keep your confidence in yourself

　　充满自信

　　Don’t be afraid of the space between your dreams and reality. If you can dream it, you can make it so.——Belva Davis

　　别对你的梦想和现实之间的差距感到畏惧，如果你有梦想，你就能实习它。——贝尔瓦·戴维斯(记者)

　　Keep your confidence in yourself despite the failure. Of course, you need to put a lot of effort and learn as much as possible from the failure, but you have the ability to make your dream come true. Many people who achieve great undertakings have no special trait. They are just ordinary people with extraordinary attitude. Let’s be one of them.

　　就算失败，也要对自己充满信心。当然，你需要花很多心血从失败中学习经验和智慧，但你拥有实现梦想的能力。很多拥有伟大事业的人都没有什么特别之处，他们只是拥有不凡信念的普通人。让我们也成为他们的一员吧。
