So just keep going 阳光总在风雨后

It begins with a sense of what it should be like : beautiful, accomplished, elegant, perfect. 

最开始我们都会有美好的设想：美丽、完满、优雅、完美。
And it is so exciting : you wake up, bounce out of bed, full of hope and energy, and you settle down to work. 

这让人感到兴奋：早上醒来，起床，内心充满着希望和能量，你准备开始工作了。

In your mind's eye, you have such a vivid idea of what you want your masterpiece to be like. 

在你的想象中，你清晰地看到你设想出的杰出作品是什么样的。
You work, you toil, harder than even you could have envisioned, and you take a step back from what you've done and realize things aren't the way you'd hoped. 

你辛苦地工作，努力的程度甚至是你自己都没设想过的，然后你退一步想你所做的，意识到事情也并不是你所期望那样发展的。

Let's put it more brutally: it's terrible and you're disgusted by what you've achieved. 让我们再解释得直接一些：你所成就的一切让你感觉很糟糕很厌恶。
The only thing you can think about is the terrible gap between what you wanted to do and we've actually done and it seems your taste is well ahead of your abilities. 唯一能想到的就是：你所想做的和你实际所做的之间那道可怕的鸿沟,看起来似乎你高估了自己的能力。
You run away in distress maybe into the arms of someone who loves you, or perhaps you choose to sit alone where you contemplate your own profound mediocrity. 你痛苦地逃离，可能投入了爱你的人的怀中，或许你选择独自坐着来沈思自己平庸的人生。

Look at you. 看看你。
You're no better than that little guy. At least he works hard. 你并不比这个小家伙好到哪去，至少它是努力工作的。
You're so sad you've gone back to bed. 你很沮丧，你回到床上。
The problem is this is too easy. Despair is chief. 问题是这样就太简单了。失望是在所难免的。
The first rule of anything creative ? Forgive yourself for the horror of the first rounds. 想要有创意的首要规则是？原谅自己在刚开始尝试的时候产生的惧怕。
Don't hurry, do a little bit every day. Keep a timetable and stick to it. 不要急，每天进步一点，制定一个时间表并且按照时间表来做。
Work without hope or despair. 

工作时不要抱太多期望或者是绝望。

You work like this for days, months, years, even decades, and eventually one day, your talents will catch up with your taste and you'll have done something in line with your expectations. 

当你如此工作几天、几个月、几年，甚至几十年，最终有一天，你的才能会与你的期待匹配，你将会做到你期待自己能做到的事。
You might even be a little proud of yourself, and who knows, maybe the rest of the world will be a little bit too. 

你可能还会为自己感到些许自豪，说不准，可能其他人也会为你感到自豪骄傲。
So just keep going. 所以，坚持下去吧。
