Benji的成功学

S: It seems like you demonstrated a very strong motivation of becoming successful.

B: Thank you.

S：感觉你是一个有很强的成功意识。

B：谢谢。

S: How come? I mean you are so young and you're so mature for your age?

B: 还好吧, I don't know, I just always had a lot of confidence in myself, and I have a lot of dreams and a lot of goals and I'm a really passionate person. So when I have a desire, I have to go and I go and do it, and I put my whole heart into it and make sure that I accomplish it.

S：这是怎么发生的呢？我是说你这么年轻，对你的年龄来说你这么成熟。

B：还好吧，我不知道。我只是对自己总是很有信心，我有很多梦想很多目标，我是一个非常有激情的人。所以当我有一个愿望的时候，我没办法不去做，然后我就去做了，我全心全意的投入确保我可以实现它。

S: How do you define success?

B: I define success as having a goal and a dream and never giving up, and just always going for your dream, living your dream, that is success. And success doesn't mean you won't have failures along the way, because failure is a part of success. Because every time we don't succeed at the first. As long as you don't give up, as long as you keep going and keep following your dream, it makes you stronger, makes you better.

S：你怎么定义成功呢？

B：我觉得成功就是有一个目标，有一个梦想，永不放弃，总是为你的梦想奋斗，为梦想而活，这就是成功。成功并不是说你在过程中不可以失败，因为失败也是成功的一部分。因为任何时候我们都不可能一开始就成功。只要你不放弃，只要你坚持去做，坚持追逐你的梦想，你就会变得更强、更好。

S: A lot of people may wonder you might have more opportunities here than in the States, is that true?

B: Will I have more opportunities here? There are definitely a lot of opportunities in China. And I'm definitely a lot different and I stand out here in China. Because I'm a white American boy who speaks Chinese, and I can sing and dance, and I have business background, so I definitely stand out a lot more in here, in America, I might not as stand out, but so I have a lot of opportunities in America, I was in the top accounting program BYU in the first grade, singing, dancing and performing team in America, and so I'm confident that whatever I decide to do, I'll be successful. If I decided to go to California to Hollywood, if that was my dream, I'll make it happen. But my dream is here in China right now.

S：很多人可能都觉得你在中国比在美国机会更多，你觉得是这样吗？

B：我在这里机会更多？在中国无疑有很多机会。我在中国必然是不同的，比较突出。因为我是一个白皮肤的说汉语的美国男孩，我能歌善舞，我有商业背景。所以我必然在这儿会更突出。在美国，我可能就没有这么突出，但我在美国也有很多机会。我一年级的时候在杨百翰大学是会计冠军，在美国唱歌、跳舞、表演，所以我有自信不管我决定做什么，我都会成功。如果我决定去加利福尼亚，去好莱坞，如果那是我的梦想，我会让它实现的。但是现在我的梦想在这里，在中国。

S: Have you thought about taking part in the American Idol?

B: A lot of people asked me that, and I thought about it, you know it's not my dream right now. I really hope my brother, my little brother PJ who is amazing; I hope that he can be the American Idol, because he just did so well so you know it's not my dream right now. I have a lot of other dreams.

S：你考虑过参加"美国偶像"吗？

B：很多人问我这个问题，我考虑过，不过那不是我现在的梦想。我非常希望我的弟弟，我非常棒的弟弟PJ能成为美国偶像，而我有很多别的梦想。
