Do you ever feel uncertain about the path you're on? Because you're not where you want to be
你是否对自己选择的这条路不确定？因为这不是你想走的那条路

Here's seven strange signs you will be successful.

made you curious about what is beyond the empty, void of adulthood that motivated you to become an astronaut.
凝视夜空让你对空洞的成年之外的事物感到好奇，因而你产生了想成为宇航员的想法。
You can be absolutely sure about what you want. But you may not know how to necessarily obtain your dreams yet.

We often identify traits like novelty-seeking that can lead to behaviors such as gambling, drug abuse and ADHD.
我们经常认为像追求新奇这样特质会导致赌博、吸毒等行为并引发注意力不集中症。
But according to Dr Robert Cloninger, a psychiatrist who develop personality tests for measuring this trait,
但是精神病学专家罗伯特·克洛宁格医生（他开发了测定此特质的性格测试）表示，
novelty-seeking is what keeps people happy, healthy and creative.
追求新奇能够让人保持快乐、健康和创造力。
Cloninger states to succeed you want to be able to regulate your impulses
克洛宁格表示为了成功，你会希望控制自己的冲动
while also having the imagination to see what the future would be like if you tried something new.
你还需要想象力，如果你尝试新的事物，你要能够预见未来会是怎样。
When you're easily bored, it doesn't necessarily mean you're unmotivated.
当你轻易感到无聊，这并不一定意味着你毫无动力。

3. You don't maintain a work-life balance, instead you just focus on life. What does it mean to just focus on life?

As humans, we try to systematically organize by categorizing different aspects of our lives so they don't spiral out of control.
作为人类，我们试图系统地筹划自己的生活，将我们生活的不同方面进行分类，这样它们就不会失控。
But instead of working on neatly, giving everything a place to belong,
但这并不是在工作中保持整洁，将东西排列整齐，
it's easy to get fixed on the small details that we forget about the bigger picture.
相反我们很容易去专注那些小细节而让我们忘记大局。
Being successful means going with the flow and doing what you feel is best for your mental health, your friends, family and coworkers
成功意味着顺其自然以及做那些让你感觉对自己的心理健康、对家人朋友和同事最有利的事情。
Although a certain degree of discipline and getting into a rhythm that works for you are important,
虽然一定程度的有效的自律和掌握节奏很重要，
it's also essential to make the most of every day. Being successful also doesn't necessarily translate to 40-hour work weeks.

如果你有着很好的人际能力，经常关注自己的队友并对他们有同理心，那么你已经走在了一条很棒的道路上。
Society often paints the workplace to be a dog-eat-dog world, but competition doesn't hold meaning when people can't learn from one another.
社会经常将公司描绘成一个竞争激烈的世界，但如果大家不能相互学习，竞争也就没有了意义。
It's important to refrain from adapting self-absorbed habits and learn to reach out as much as possible.
重要的是避免适应自私的习惯，而要尽可能相互提供帮助。
Be supportive of each other's dreams and help each other to achieve them.
支持彼此的梦想，帮助彼此实现梦想。
5. You practice humility again and again.
5. 一次又一次的展现谦虚。
You don't focus on your achievements or constantly want to prove yourself to others by finding opportunities to be in the spotlight.
你并不专注自己的成就，也不想借助成为焦点的机会来向别人证明自己。
Instead, you just want to get better not for an audience but for yourself. When you work on improving your skills behind the scenes,
相反，你只是希望变得更好，不为看客只为自己。当你在台下努力提升自己的技能
your work journey becomes much more authentic because your progress is only for you to see.

It's not about the A you earned on a test that's pinned to the classroom board or the amount of likes you receive on social media,

6. You're not motivated by money as a reward, but rather see it as a resource.

In fact, you see it as almost a slap in the face that success can supposedly be measured by something that can be spent just as easily as it is earned

Yes. Earning money is necessary for survival, but you don't allow it to be everything.
没错，挣钱是生存的必要，但是你不能让钱成为你的全部。
Instead you focus more on earning money to give back to your community of supporters and your team members' hard work
相反，你更加关注的是挣钱回报支持你的人和团队中与你并肩作战的队友，
and to buy resources or afford experiences that help sustain and grow your business, projects and passion.

Persistence is key. People often say there's no such thing as fairytale love. The same goes for success.

一夜成名是虚构的。为了实现目标，
you understand that sacrifice, hard work and failures are all essential components of the journey.

In fact, that's what makes it all the more worthwhile.
事实上，也正是这些让一切变得更值得。
If success was easily handed to you without a single day of sweat or tears, it would be hard to find meaning in it.
如果不花费一天的汗水和眼泪便可获得成功，那么这就没有了意义。
But you also realize that success isn't everything. In fact, it's just a moment. When you realize that, it's a humbling experience.
