Day 6: On Superhumans
Life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact: Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you and you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use.
—Steve Jobs 6
Despite an enormous selection of movies about superhumans, they don’t really exist. I know, it’s shocking news, right?
Nobody — including the world’s biggest geniuses — was, is, or ever will be a superhuman, infinitely better in all aspects than the average mortal.
It’s easy to forget this fact when you look at the accomplishments of the people who are changing the world around you. After all, they appear to be so perfect — extremely productive, intelligent, beautiful, creative, persistent, strong… and the list goes on.
Behind the scenes, everyone struggles in some areas of their lives.
I’m an author of several books about self-discipline, but it doesn’t mean that I never struggle with self-control. I deal with the same problems as every other person, and the only difference is that I’ve discovered how to handle some of them a bit more effectively. I’ve had my fair share of failures, found myself unable to resist some temptations, and I jeopardized some long-term goals because I succumbed to the allure of instant gratification .
This is the human condition. People whom you consider to be extremely successful aren’t that different from you. Many of them in the past had less willpower than you exhibit now, and many of them might be more disciplined than you in one aspect, but less disciplined in another.
Becoming a self-disciplined person is within everybody’s grasp. You don’t need to have won the genetic lottery or get introduced to a country club to develop self-control — and neither you nor anybody else will ever achieve permanent, flawless self-mastery over every aspect of life. Accept that and accept yourself, as well.

Despite an enormous selection of movies about superhumans, they don’t really exist. I know, it’s shocking news, right?Mặc dù có vô số bộ phim về siêu nhân nhưng chúng không thực sự tồn tại. Tôi biết, đó là một tin sốc, phải không?
Nobody — including the world’s biggest geniuses — was, is, or ever will be a superhuman, infinitely better in all aspects than the average mortal.Không ai - kể cả những thiên tài lớn nhất thế giới - đã, đang hoặc sẽ là siêu nhân, tốt hơn vô hạn về mọi mặt so với người bình thường.
It’s easy to forget this fact when you look at the accomplishments of the people who are changing the world around you. After all, they appear to be so perfect — extremely productive, intelligent, beautiful, creative, persistent, strong… and the list goes on. Thật dễ dàng để quên sự thật này khi bạn nhìn vào thành tích của những người đang thay đổi thế giới xung quanh bạn. Rốt cuộc, họ dường như quá hoàn hảo - cực kỳ năng suất, thông minh, xinh đẹp, sáng tạo, bền bỉ, mạnh mẽ… và danh sách này vẫn tiếp tục.
Behind the scenes, everyone struggles in some areas of their lives.Phía sau hậu trường, mọi người đều phải vật lộn trong một số lĩnh vực của cuộc sống của họ.

Tôi là tác giả của một số cuốn sách về kỷ luật bản thân, nhưng điều đó không có nghĩa là tôi không bao giờ đấu tranh với sự tự chủ. Tôi giải quyết các vấn đề giống như mọi người khác và điểm khác biệt duy nhất là tôi đã phát hiện ra cách xử lý một số vấn đề hiệu quả hơn một chút. Tôi đã chia sẻ công bằng về những thất bại, nhận thấy mình không thể cưỡng lại một số cám dỗ và tôi đã gây nguy hiểm cho một số mục tiêu dài hạn vì không chịu nổi sự lôi cuốn của sự thỏa mãn tức thì.
This is the human condition. People whom you consider to be extremely successful aren’t that different from you. Many of them in the past had less willpower than you exhibit now, and many of them might be more disciplined than you in one aspect, but less disciplined in another.
Đây là tình trạng của con người. Những người mà bạn coi là cực kỳ thành công không khác gì bạn. Nhiều người trong số họ trong quá khứ có ý chí kém hơn bạn thể hiện bây giờ, và nhiều người trong số họ có thể kỷ luật hơn bạn ở một khía cạnh, nhưng kém kỷ luật hơn ở khía cạnh khác.
Becoming a self-disciplined person is within everybody’s grasp. You don’t need to have won the genetic lottery or get introduced to a country club to develop self-control — and neither you nor anybody else will ever achieve permanent, flawless self-mastery over every aspect of life. Accept that and accept yourself, as well.
Mọi người đều có thể trở thành một người có kỷ luật với bản thân. Bạn không cần phải trúng xổ số di truyền hoặc được giới thiệu đến một câu lạc bộ đồng quê để phát triển khả năng tự chủ - và bạn cũng như bất kỳ ai khác sẽ không bao giờ đạt được quyền tự chủ vĩnh viễn, hoàn mỹ trong mọi khía cạnh của cuộc sống. Chấp nhận điều đó và chấp nhận cả bản thân bạn.
