When everybody around you believes that you've got mad, you are one step closer to success.

几年前，姐姐仍然是北京一家上市公司的一名小职员，负责三个分公司的合同审批以及一些杂散的会计工作。

A few years ago, my sister was still a common employee of a listed company in Beijing, responsible for the contract approval of three branches and some accounting related work of the company.

但是姐姐说不想这样生活，她渴望成功。

But my sister said, " I don't wanna live my whole life in such way, I mean to be successful."

当然，她的确这么做了，而且可以说成功了。因为她眼光卓越，似乎与生俱来，敢于冒险。

Of course, she did it and make it to a certain degree. Coz she seems to be born with excellent foresight over things and life, daring to take adventures.

当身边大多数人还在为生计疲于奔命，朝九晚五的时候，她选择了创业，选择了冒险。

When everybody around her works hard for begging a living with firm worktime and stable income, she chose to take adventures, starting a business.

大多数亲戚朋友，包括我爸妈，都不看好此事，他们说我姐疯了。

Most of our relatives expressed negative comments over this matter, my parents included, saying that my sister has got mad.

辞去工作后，姐姐租赁店铺开展厅，又去注册了一家进出口公司。

After resigning, my sister rented shops for products exhibition and got a company registered with import and export license.

姐姐每天处理很多事情，工厂排产，公司运营，报税，海关系统操作等等。

Much work awaits her each day, such as Production Arrangements, Company Running, Tax Declaration, Customs System Operations, etc. 

我问她，你发愁么， 累么？ 她说，没办法，这就是生活,但我乐在其中。

I used to ask her, "Do you feel tired?" 

She always says " That is the real life I want, sometimes, " The sufferings can be enjoyed."

现在，她拥有自己的公司，自己的工厂，自己的车，自己的房（已经卖了一套）。

Now, she got herself a company, a factory, a car and a house, all by herself. ( Another building has been sold recently.)

Mike不是告诉你每个人都要去创业，而是说，有时候，生活需要我们自己去改变。

I don't mean to ask you to set up a company or start a business. What I am saying tis, " Life needs changes, sometimes. By Yourself"

有时候，我们脑子里有了想法,有了计划，就要去付诸实践，而不是等待。

Sometimes, we need to put our thoughts or plans into practice and make them real, rather than waiting.

就像Mike平时分享了很多知识，但是大多数人只是扫一眼，懒得点赞，懒得分享，懒得评价，懒得实践。

I shared much knowledge in Foreign Trade. But I do believe that most of you just give a glimpse of it, no support, no sharing, no comments, no practice.

有时候，生活需要冒险,我们需要打破常规，而不是墨守陈规。

Sometimes, life needs adventures and we need break usual rules, rather than keeping the old rules.
