你能看到，就能做到

Arnold Schwarzenegger was not that famous in 1976 when he met with a newspaper reporter.
阿诺德·施瓦辛格1976年遇到一位新闻记者时还不是那样有名。
The reporter asked Schwarzenegger, “ Now you've retired from bodybuilding, what do you plan to do next？”
记者问施瓦辛格:“你现在从健美运动中退出，下一步打算做什么？”
Schwarzenegger answered very calmly and confidently, I’m going to be the No. 1 movie star in Hollywood.＂
施瓦辛格非常平静而自信地回答说:“我打算成为好莱坞头号电影明星。”
The reporter was shocked and amused at Schwarzenegger's plan. At that time, it was very hard to imagine how this muscle-bound bodybuilder, who was not a professional actor and who spoke poor English with a strong American Austrian accent, could ever hope to be Hollywood's No.1 movie star.
记者听到施瓦辛格的打算既震惊又觉得可笑。当时，很难想象这位肌肉结实的健美运动员，既不是职业演员，英语说得又差劲，还带有很重的奥地利口音，怎么可能有希望成为好莱坞头号电影明星呢。

So the reporter asked Schwarzenegger how he planned to make his dream come true, Schwarzenegger said, “I'll do it the same way I became the No. I bodybuilder in the world. What I do is to create a vision of whom I want to be, and then I start living like that person in my mind as if it were already true.” Sounds almost childishly simple, doesn't it? But it worked! Schwarzenegger did become the No.1 highest-paid movie star in Hollywood！
所以，当记者问施瓦辛格如何打算使梦想成真时，施瓦辛格说:“我会像当初成为世界头号健美运动员那样去做。我要做的就是创造一个自己想做的那个人的形象，然后像我心里想的那个人 那样开始生活。”听起来是不是很幼稚很简单？但起作用了！施瓦辛格真的成为好莱坞片酬第一的电影明星！
So remember: If you can see it, you can be it.
记住：你能看到，就能做到。
