So you know how you'll get really excited about starting a new project, whether it's writing a book, or making a song on guitar, or completely reinventing yourself in the space you're in. But then as the days go by, your enthusiasm fades and fades and fades until it just shrivels up and dies and you completely forget about it.
所以你們知道開始一項新計劃時你們會有多麼興奮，不管是寫一本書、或是用吉他寫一首歌、或是在你所處的空間完全改造自己。但之後隨著日子過去，你的熱情消逝、消逝、消逝，直到它乾枯並死去，然後你完全忘記它。
The first, most important, and hardest part of leveling up is deciding to. You have so much willpower. We as human beings, whenever we decide we really want something, we go after it and we make it happen.
要提昇自己，首先、最重要、最難的部份是下定決心。你有這麼多意志力。我們身為人類，不論何時我們決定我們真的很想要某個東西，我們追求它並讓它成真。
There's no such thing as "I'm too busy for that." It's just "I don't think I want to invest the time necessary to complete that goal," which brings me to the two biggest hurdles standing between you and what you want to accomplish: total time mismanagement and not setting realistic goals.
沒有像是「我太忙不能做那件事」這種事。就只是「我不認為我想投入完成那個目標所需要的時間」，這讓我想到站在你和你想完成的事情之間的兩個最大障礙：完全的時間管理不當，以及沒有設定實際目標。
We throw so much time away just doing absolutely nothing. And then we have these grand goals and ideas and dreams that seem so overwhelming, that we never finish them because we don't start off small. If you really wanna get something done, be honest with yourself.
我們丟掉這麼多時間就是完全不做事。然後我們有這些看似勢不可擋的偉大目標和想法和夢想，我們永遠沒完成它們，因為我們不從小地方開始。如果你真的想要做到某事，對自己誠實。
So if you tell me, "I wanna write for two hours today."
所以如果你告訴我：「我今天想要寫作兩小時。」
"Are you really gonna write for two hours? Is that something that you are actually able to do?"
「你真的要寫作兩小時嗎？那是你確實可以做到的事嗎？」
"No."
「不。」
"How about an hour? How about 30 minutes? How about 15 minutes?"
「那一小時呢？三十分鐘呢？十五分鐘呢？」
"Fifteen minutes of writing? I can do that. Totally, totally doable."
「寫作十五分？我可以做到。完全、完全做得到的。」
So if you wanna reach this fabled level five, start managing your time and setting goals that you know that you can complete.
所以如果你想要達到這個傳說中的第五級，開始管理你的時間，並設定你知道可以完成的目標。
I use an AT-A-GLANCE planner. It breaks down the week per hour. It's amazing, highly recommended. And whenever I cross something off of my list, I reward myself with a cookie or chocolate—something sweet, something delicious—that's all that's needed to get something out of me.
我使用AT-A-GLANCE出的計劃表。它將一週以每個小時拆開來。這很棒，極力推薦。無論何時我將某件事從我的清單中劃掉，我犒賞自己一片餅乾或是巧克力－－一些甜食、一些好吃的－－那是說服我所需要的所有東西。
So you know, start leveling up because you totally can. It's just a matter of deciding to and then going from there. Okay? Good luck. I'll see you next week. Stay Awesome, Gotham.
所以你知道，開始提昇自己，因為你完全可以。就是下定決心和從這裡開始的問題。好嗎？祝你好運。我下週會再見到你們。保重了，高譚市(註一)。
註一：這句話其實沒有什麼實質意義，影片中的女主角因為想要用特別的方式跟觀眾說再見，所以偷用了蝙蝠俠裡的高譚市。
