Keep hungry

The ability to increase and maintain your hunger is the one common denominator amongst the most successful students, those that are getting the highest grades, they're hungrier than the rest.?

在最成功的學生中，他們有一個共同點，就是能夠激發(fā)和保持對知識的渴望。那些成績最高的學生比其他學生更渴望真知。

?

I believe that's a single most important factor that separates the top performing students to the average performing students, it's hunger, it's not just the ability to be hungry, but it's the ability to sustain it over long periods of time.

我認為，一個最重要的因素可以將表現(xiàn)最好的學生與表現(xiàn)一般的學生區(qū)分開來，這個因素就是對知識的渴望，不單單是渴望，更重要的是要長期保持這種渴望知識的能力。

?

So you've got to ask yourself, how hungry are you, how bad do you want it, when you achieve the grades that you're aiming for, do you then get comfortable and relaxed. A lot of students when they achieve the grades they're aiming for, they relax, but if you can find within yourself, the part of you that wants more, you want to make a bigger difference, you want to push a bit more, you want your grades a bit higher, you should never be satisfied with the grades that you've got, because the attempt to achieve more makes you into something phenomenal.?

所以你必須問自己，你有多渴望，你的渴望有多么強烈。當你達到你的目標成績時，你會感到舒適，并逐漸放松自己嗎？很多學生，當他們達到他們的目標成績時，他們會放松，但是如果你能在自己身上找到你渴望更多的那一部分，比如你渴望做出更大的改變，你想要促成更多事情，你想要你的成績更好，那你就永遠不應該對你的成績感到滿意，因為當你你試圖取得更大的成績的時候，你就會成為一個非凡的人。
