原标题：马云教会我们的7个人生经验

1. Look far and wide for opportunity.

到处挖掘机会

Ma categorizes those who fail as often being myopic to opportunity. Look across the professional and financial landscape with a broad lens first, considering all possibilities. Then, bend down to dig under every rock and in every nook and cranny for potential opportunities.

马云认为那些失败的人通常都是因为没有看到机遇。要用广阔的视角来看待行业和金融，考虑一切的可能性。弯下腰从每块岩石上的每一个角落、每一条缝隙中寻找潜在的机会。

2. Treat every opportunity as an open door.

把每一个机会都看成一扇敞开的大门

No chance is too small, too menial. When something lies before you, seize it. Grasp it with all of your strength, work this opportunity with all of your heart. Bring everything that you are to bear on this task. Do not treat anything as small if you want large results.

机会无所谓大小，无所谓卑微与否。有机会摆在你面前的时候就要抓住。用你所有的力量将其抓住，全心全意为此工作。承担起一切。如果你想要有一个很不错的结果就不要把一切都看得微不足道

3. Seek understanding.

寻求了解

Work to understand both your current position and the position to which you aspire. What, exactly, are you working for? Why? What will it take to get you to where you want to go?

努力了解你目前的职务和你期望中的职务。准确说你现在的工作内容是什么？为什么干这个？这会给你想要去的地方带来些什么？

4. See beyond your circumstances.

看看你周围以外的环境

No matter what your current condition, how or where you grew up, or what education or training you feel you lack, you can be successful in your chosen endeavor. It is spirit, fortitude, and hardiness that matter more than where you start.

不管先进情况如何，你在哪里如何长大，或者你感觉自己缺乏哪种教育，你都可以选择努力获得成功。精神、毅力比你的起点更重要。

5. Channel your ambition.

明确你的抱负

It is your job as a visionary to become single-minded in your ambition. Focus on your goal, work toward it, and never let it go.

这是有远见的你全心全意实现抱负的职责。重视你的梦想朝其努力工作，不要放弃。

6. Be courageous.

要有勇气

When Ma launched Alibaba Group, a highly successful group of internet businesses, he did so in the face of cautionary feedback from potential backers. There is a time for boldness, and in pursuit of your chosen ambition is that time.

当马云带领的阿里巴巴集团，一个相当成功的网络企业团队，在面对来自于潜在客户的反馈信息时他做到了。有勇气的时候一定要用于追寻你所选择的梦想。

7. Take chances in your youth.

年轻的时候把握住机会

If you are not rich by the time you are 35, says Ma, then you have wasted the opportunities of youth. Capitalize upon these young years, with their energy and imagination, by giving in to your ambition and the pursuit of it.

如果35岁以前你还不富裕，那你就已经浪费了你年轻时的机会。把握住年轻的这几年，将精力、想象力用于实现抱负，追求梦想。
