在進入一個房間之后，你是四處張望，還是胸有成竹地直奔某個位置？
Well, if you answered that you’d be looking around, you do not have leadership skills yet.
如果是前者，那么目前你還沒什么領袖才能。
Leaders enter every place having in mind that they are the leader and that people will be looking at them for cues on how to behave in their presence. They have an aura of confidence and they let no one walk on their foot.
領袖們每到一處，心中都銘記自己是領袖，是眾人矚目的榜樣，他們身上籠罩著自信的光環，并且特立獨行。
Improving your leadership skills
提升你的領袖才能
Increasing your leadership skills is a question of taking responsibility and especially assuming them.
想要提升領袖能力，重點在于甘于負責，尤其要勇于承擔責任。
First, you must accept to take responsibility you would not take in the past and you must accept that you might do them not correctly. It is fine for everyone to learn and to make errors. Imagine if you were to start learning out to write and you wouldn’t be allowed to practice. If after a few time you were not able to write correctly, you would have quit, who would you been now? Well, you wouldn’t be able read this and you wouldn’t be able to comment or to write anything. You would not be able to get a job that requires you to report to someone else. You would not be able to communicate over the Internet with others using e-mails. You see, it’s okay to fail even if it’s the first time or 2000th time.
首先，你必須承擔過去不曾承擔的責任，而且必須明白你可能因此而犯錯。學習并犯錯是正常的，人人都如此。想象一下，假如你開始學寫字時，卻不允許你練習，過了一陣你仍然不能正確地書寫，于是你就放棄，那么你現在會是什么樣？你很可能讀不懂這篇東西，不能發表評論，什么都寫不出來。你也不能找到需要你向別人匯報那樣的工作，不能在網上和別人發e-mail交流。你瞧，犯錯沒什么不好，不論是第一次還是第兩千次。
Second, like it was stated before, you must take responsabilities and then assumed them. Assuming means you must take action and to take action is to take decisions. Not only will it take decision, but you will follow them. When you follow what you’ve decided you go forward. This way you’ll be learning much faster from your errors, and you’ll become one of the best.
第二，像之前提到的，你必須甘于負責，并努力承擔。承擔責任意味著你必須采取行動，而采取行動意味著你必須做出決定。不光是做決定，你還要實施你的決定。當開始實施你的決定時，你就有了進展了。這樣你才能從所犯錯誤里學到更多，進展更快，你才能成為最棒的。
You see people call other geniuses. What is a genius? Someone was born with the talents or someone that is so good that everyone thinks he’s a genius? You see, most people accept that geniuses are people that are good at what they’re doing. I don’t think that someone was born with the talent of a genius so he could play the piano. They must have learned, failed, worked hard to become what is called a genius. It’s not that hard to become a genius. All you have to do is dedicate some time to one of your passions and get into it as far as you can.
有人被稱為天才，那什么是天才？天生就有天賦的人還是足夠優秀的人？你瞧，大部分人都認為對所處領域十分擅長的人就是天才。我不相信某人因為有天賦就能彈鋼琴，他們必須經歷學習、失敗，最終憑借努力才成為所謂天才。成為天才沒什么難的，只要你把時間投入到你所熱衷的領域并盡快鉆研進去。
Everyone wants to become a leader but most don’t become leaders because it involves too much work and especially too much stress. All that stress is caused by fear. Fear of the unknown. When you know what to do and you accepted to take responsabilities and assume them, becoming a leader is much more interesting than being one of the crowd.
人人都想成為領袖，然而大部分人成不了領袖，因為那意味著太多的努力，特別是太多的壓力。所有的壓力都來源于畏懼，對未知的恐懼。當你知道該做什么，并且甘于負責、勇于承擔，那么成為領袖就比成為庸碌之眾有趣多了。
Go work on your leadership skills. Accept your responsabilities and take actions.
努力提升你的領袖才能，開始承擔責任并采取行動吧。
