TED英语学习-TED202013-5 ways to kill your dreams by Bel Pesce

Bel Pesce came from a humble family in Brazil. She successfully got into MIT. People may think it's an overnight success. But Bel Pesce said it worked because she took life and education seriously for the past 17 years. In this speech, Bel Pesce breaks down five easy-to-believe myths that will destory your dreams.

1) Believe in overnight success; 相信一夜成名

2) Believe someone else has the answers for you; 相信别人有你需要的答案

3) Believe that when growth is guaranteed, you should settle down; 相信在一时的成功面前应该止步

4) Believe the fault is someone else's; 相信错误永远是别人的

5) Believe that only the goals themselves matter. 相信只有目标本身是重要的

Achieving a dream is a momentary sensation, and your life is not. The only way to really achieve all of your dreams is to fully enjoy every step of your journey. That's the best way.
