范文一
When people are in the public, they have the sense that they should not speak loudly in the public place and they should not jump the line and so on, these are rules for them, though it is not the law makes it, but the power of morality. Self-behave seems easy to do, but when the great temptation comes, self-behave will be changed quickly.
當人們身處公共場所的時候，他們意識到不應該在公共場合大聲說話和不應該插隊等等，這些是規(guī)則，雖然法律沒有規(guī)定，但是這是道德的力量。自律看起來很容易做到，但是面對巨大的誘惑時，自律很快就會被打破。
It has been reported that in Hong Kong, a police car which was loaded with crash attracted many people to grab the money when the crash slipped down from the police car. It was such crazy, the money should be handed to the band, while on its way to the bank, people grabbed some and then left quickly. Two days later, the police found back most of the money, some people who refused to return the money were caught into the prison.
據(jù)報道，在香港，一輛裝載著錢的警車，當現(xiàn)金從警車上滑下來的時候，吸引了很多人去搶。這是多么瘋狂啊，錢本應該上交到銀行，然而在運去銀行的途中，人們拿走了一些，然后快速離開。兩天以后，警察找回了大部分的錢，一些拒絕還錢的人被抓到，并坐牢。
Self-behave is not easy, people are easy to obey the public rules on the small issues, while when the great temptation comes, these rules are easy to be broken. The one who can refuse to the great temptation can say he is totally self-behave.
自律不容易，人們很容易遵守關于小事的公共規(guī)則，然而當面臨巨大誘惑的時候，這些規(guī)則很容易就會被打破。誰能拒絕大誘惑，誰就能說他是完全的自律。

Earlier chapters have placed heavy emhasis on the importance of taking control of your mind. This control is pivotal to your personal initiative, positive mental attituded, and controlled enthusiasm. Self-discipline is the process that ties all these efforts together for you.
一個人能達到自律要求后，在其他原則方面必然也會有 所進步。自律要求自我認識以及對自己能力的正確評估。同 樣的，如果缺乏自律功夫，其他原理也無法真正付諸行動。自 律可說是一條管道，而你為了達到成功目標，所必須表現(xiàn)出來 的所有個人力量，都會流經(jīng)這個管道。
It isn't possible to achieve self-discipline without making some progress on theose other principles; self discipline requries self-knowledge and an accurate assesssment of your current abilities. Likewise, the other principles can't really be put into action without self-disciples can't really be put into action without self-discipline. It is the channel through which all your personal power for success must flow.
把你的心智想像成是一座貯存你潛在力量的貯存庫，你現(xiàn)在應學習從庫中釋放適當數(shù)量的力量，并將它導引到正確方向，這就是自律的本質。
Think of your mind as a reserveoir in which you have been storing up potential power. You will now learn to release that power in precise quantities and specific directions. This is the essence of self-discipline.
