海里·格佈雷塞拉西分享他成功的祕密

As the fastest long-distance runner ever, Haile Gebrselassie knows a thing or two about ambition and drive.
作爲世界上最快的長跑運動員，海里洞悉關於雄心和內心的力量的一些內在祕密。

In a career spanning almost two decades, the two-time gold medalist and current marathon world-record holder has redefined the art of running -- beating his own personal best at the 2008 Berlin Marathon with a time of 2:03:59.
在長達幾乎20年的職業生涯中，他獲得過2塊金牌，現在還是馬拉松世界紀錄保持者。他重新定義了跑步的藝術——在2008年柏林馬拉松上他打破了個人最好成績，取得了2:03:59的好成績。

But success for the athlete isn't limited just to running. One of Ethiopia's most successful businessmen, Gebrselassie is the sole importer of Hyundai cars into the country, owns a number of properties in the capital, runs a gym in the city and has recently opened a new hotel near Lake Hawassa.
但是海里不僅僅是作爲運動員取得了成功。他也是埃色俄比亞最成功的商人之一，他是他們國家現代汽車唯一的進口商，在首都擁有大量財產，在首都運營一座體操館，最近又在Hawassa附近新開張了一家酒店。

Give it your all -- all the time 全身心投入——任何時間

Gebrselassie credits his achievements to three basic principles: commitment, discipline and hard work. "For me, they are the three most important things you have to do if you want to achieve, in anything," he said.
海里把它的成功歸功於3個基本法則：投入、教養和儘自己最大努力。“對我來說，如果你在任何方面要成功的話，它們是3個你必須要做的最重要的事情。”他說道。

The first ingredient is commitment. The drive and passion "to win gold, to be a world champion, to succeed," is essential, he said. "Once you have commitment, you need the discipline and hard work to get you there."
首先是投入。內心的驅動和激情——“贏得金牌，成爲世界冠軍，獲得成功”這是最基本的。他說道，“一旦你投入進去，你需要教養和努力工作使你到達成功的地方。”

It's a formula that has worked well for Gebrselassie and one he implements in his everyday life.
這是一個對海里很有效的公式，也是他每天都遵循的法則。

By 5:30 a.m. the world champion is already running around the stadium or in the forest near his house as part of his training program. By 9 a.m. he's in the office ready for a full day's work and at 5 p.m. he's back training for another two hours before heading home to see his wife and children.
早上5:30，這位世界冠軍已經在繞着體育場或者在他家附近的樹林裏跑步了，這是他訓練計劃的一部分。早上9點到下午5點，他在辦公室完成一整天的工作。在他回家見到妻子和孩子之前會再訓練另外2個小時。

Everything he does is done with enthusiasm. "I just work hard," he said. "When I wake up at 5 in the morning is it just to jog? Definitely not, I give it all of my efforts."
他做每件事情都是用熱情去做。“我只是盡到我最大努力”他說。“當我每天早上5點起牀只是爲了慢跑嗎？當然不是，只是我儘自己最大的努力去做它。”

Don't do it for the money 不要爲錢而去做

"Money comes after. If you're planning only to make money and nothing else, you'll be broke."
“錢是次之的東西。如果你只是計劃去賺錢而不是爲了其他的，你將會失敗。”

He continued: "It's a long process, you're not going to achieve what you want overnight, but the more you give, the more you get."
他接着說:"這需要長期的過程，你不可能立馬獲得你想要的東西，但是你付出的越多，你的回報就越多。"

Compete against yourself 與自己競賽

When Gebrselassie is running a race, he's doesn't think about what the other athletes are doing, he's too busy racing against himself.
當海里在比賽中跑步時，他不會去想其他運動員正在幹什麼，他非常專注於與自己比賽。

"I don't think about if I have to be number one, two or three. I don't think I have to win the race, what I'm thinking about is that I have to run faster."
“我不會想是否我能成爲第1名還是第2名，第3名。我會去想我必須要贏得這場比賽，我想的是我必須跑得更快。”

That applies to whether you're running a race or racing up the the corporate ladder.
不管你是參加比賽跑步還是在公司往上競爭爬梯子這都適用。

He continued: "You're race is not against other athletes, it's against the time, it's against yourself. I really think this really gives me an advantage. You're not worried about them so much, you focus on what you are doing.
他繼續說道：“你不是與其他運動員競爭，你是與時間競爭，與你自己競爭。我認爲這使我擁有了一項優勢。你不需要擔心很多，你只需要專注於你正在做的事情上面。”

Pick yourself up 使自己保持振作

"Hitting the wall" is an all too common experience that befalls athletes and Gebrselassie isn't an exception. But, he said, resilience is key.
“撞牆”是所有運動員都體驗過的，海里也不例外。但是他說，要儘快調整恢復過來很重要。

It's all in the mind, he said, and his philosophy is to always be "mentally fit."
全部都在你的意識裏，他說，他的人生哲學是永遠要“精神上最好”

"Many years back at the beginning of my athletics career, I injured myself during a marathon in Addis Ababa and I couldn't walk for almost a week.
“許多年以前，在我運動員生涯剛開始時，我在亞的斯亞貝巴馬拉松中受傷了，我幾乎一週都不能走路。”

"I was wounded physically, but mentally I wanted to continue. If your body is damaged, wounded, it can be fixed, but if inside, mentally, you are wounded you cannot fix it, it's hard."
“那只是身體上受傷，但是在精神上我還想繼續。如果你的身體受傷，它可以治好，但是如果你的內心，精神上受到傷害後你不能治好，那就完了。”

This mentality has helped Gebrselassie in his business career as well as his athletic one.
這種精神治療法在他的商業方面和運動員生涯一樣幫助了他。
