As the fastest long-distance runner ever, Haile Gebrselassie knows a thing or two about ambition and drive.
作为世界上最快的长跑运动员，海里洞悉关于雄心和内心的力量的一些内在秘密。
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.
在长达几乎20年的职业生涯中，他获得过2块金牌，现在还是马拉松世界纪录保持者。他重新定义了跑步的艺术——在2008年柏林马拉松上他打破了个人最好成绩，取得了2:03:59的好成绩。
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.
但是海里不仅仅是作为运动员取得了成功。他也是埃色俄比亚最成功的商人之一，他是他们国家现代汽车唯一的进口商，在首都拥有大量财产，在首都运营一座体操馆，最近又在Hawassa附近新开张了一家酒店。
Give it your all -- all the time 全身心投入——任何时间
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.
海里把它的成功归功于3个基本法则：投入、教养和尽自己最大努力。“对我来说，如果你在任何方面要成功的话，它们是3个你必须要做的最重要的事情。”他说道。
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。内心的驱动和激情——“赢得金牌，成为世界冠军，获得成功”这是最基本的。他说道，“一旦你投入进去，你需要教养和努力工作使你到达成功的地方。”
It's a formula that has worked well for Gebrselassie and one he implements in his everyday life.
这是一个对海里很有效的公式，也是他每天都遵循的法则。
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，这位世界冠军已经在绕着体育场或者在他家附近的树林里跑步了，这是他训练计划的一部分。早上9点到下午5点，他在办公室完成一整天的工作。在他回家见到妻子和孩子之前会再训练另外2个小时。
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热情去做。“我只是尽到我最大努力”他说。“当我每天早上5点起床只是为了慢跑吗？当然不是，只是我尽自己最大的努力去做它。”
