1. Look far and wide for opportunity.

　　到處發掘機會

　　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.

　　馬云以為那些失敗的人通常都是由于不看到機會。要用遼闊的視角來對待行業跟金融，斟酌一切的可能性。彎下腰從每塊巖石上的每一個角落、每一條縫隙中尋找潛在的機會。

2. Treat every opportunity as an open door.

　　把每一個機會都看成一扇敞開的大門

　　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.

　　機會無所謂大小，無所謂低微與否。有機會擺在你眼前的時候就要抓住。用你所有的力氣將其捉住，全心全意為此工作。承當起一切。如果你想要有一個很不錯的成果就不要把所有都看得微不足道

3. Seek understanding.

　　追求懂得

　　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?

　　努力了解你目前的職務和你冀望中的職務。正確說你當初的工作內容是什么?為什么干這個?這會給你想要去的處所帶來些什么?

4. See beyond your circumstances.

　　看看你四周以外的環境

　　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.

　　不論進步情形如何，你在哪里如何長大，或者你感到本人缺少哪種教導，你都能夠抉擇盡力取得勝利。精力、毅力比你的出發點更主要。
