世界頂尖的雷鬼音樂家吉米.克里夫(Jimmy Cliff)曾創作了這樣一首了不起的歌曲，其歌名為《我想！我做！我得到！》。
這六個字則把一個人怎樣在一生中取的成功的經過進行了概括。
這六個字是十分強有力的，它將“所想”與“所成”串在了一條線上。
First comes wanting something—a better life for yourself,your family, more money, a better job, whatever it is you dream about and long for. You desire it, you dream about it, you daydream about it, you yearn for it.
首先要做的就是要去想，想想讓你和你的家人有更好的生活，賺更多的錢，找到更好的工作...無論這是你的夢想還是渴望，你想要得到這些，你夢想得到這些，你幻想會得到這些，并且你對此也充滿了向往。
But that's not enough. Next and this the part too many people forget about—comes the doing. All of the wanting in the world is not going to move you one inch closer to what you want: you have to * have to find a better job, change jobs, take risks, write software, try new things, stop doing old things, go to college, work, act, * doing is the absolutely indispensable connection between what you want and what you get.
但光想還不夠，下一步，往往也是大部分人忽視掉的這一步---付諸于行動。
世上最遺憾的事莫過于夢想自己 不會向你的方向多靠近哪怕一英寸，因此你必須主動去接近夢想。
于是你不得不去找一份更好的工作、經歷跳槽、承擔風險、編寫軟件、嘗試新鮮事物、不再走老 路、去上學、去工作、去做事...從夢想到獲得的路途中，行動是一座必經的橋梁。
Finally, if you keep doing what needs to be done, if you keep adjusting what you do to move you closer to what you want, you get. Maybe not easily, maybe not as quickly as movies and television portray,but it will come.
如果你始終在做需要做的事；如果你一直在調整你的方向，去做一些能讓你更靠近夢想的事；那么最終，你就會圓夢。
這或許不那么簡單，這又或許沒有電影電視中演得那么快，但這終究還是會成為現實。
One final philosophical note about these six words: notice that "I" is three of them? Not what others want, not what others say you are "supposed" or "should" do. What's more, no one is going to do it for you.
最后，讓我們從哲學角度來審視一下這六個字:注意了，三個動作的主語都是 “我”。
這是因為，夢想并不是他人的夢想；也不會有其他人對你說你“要去”或“該去”做什么。
此外，也沒有人會代替你去做什么。
You are the key to making these six words work.
因此，讓這六個字發揮作用的人，只有你自己。
