Slow progress is better than no progress. Take heart in whatever gains you’ve made, and keep going. 缓慢的进展总比没有进展好。无论你获得了什么，都要振作起来，继续前进。

There’s a big difference between going slow and stopping completely. Even if you’re making just a little bit of headway, that’s preferable to being at a standstill or falling behind. 慢下来和完全停下来是有很大区别的。即使你只是取得了一点点进展，这也比停滞不前或落后要好。

You cannot do everything, yet you can do something. Just because you’re unable to move as fast as you would like, that’s no reason to give up. 你不能做所有的事情，但你可以做一些事情。只是因为你不能像你想的那样快，这不是放弃的理由。

Go right ahead at whatever pace you can sustain. The small gains add up, and bit by bit, put you ahead. 以你能维持的速度前进。小的收获加起来，一点一点，让你领先。

It’s natural to feel overwhelmed by the immensity of the effort in front of you. Yet even then, you can choose one thing and start to work on it, then the next, and soon you’re getting great things done. 你很自然地会被眼前的巨大努力所压倒。然而，即使这样，你也可以选择一件事，开始做它，然后下一件，很快你就会完成伟大的事情。

Move swiftly when circumstances allow, and when things are not so ideal, move at whatever pace you can. You’ll get through it, you’ll get good work accomplished, and you’ll also be stronger and wiser for the experience. 当情况允许时，迅速行动，当事情不那么理想时，以你所能达到的任何速度行动。你会挺过去的，你会完成好工作，你也会因为这段经历而变得更坚强、更聪明。
