Dịch bài:

George Orwell không mong đợi trở thành một nhà văn thành công. Trong thực tế, ông dành nhiều thời gian trong đời để lường trước sự thất bại. Trong một bài văn về thời đi học, ông viết rằng cho đến tận khoảng 30 tuổi, ông luôn luôn lập kế hoạch cho đời mình với (3) sự liệu trước rằng bất cứ dự án lớn nào cũng nhất định sẽ thất bại. Ông mong muốn thành công và đã làm việc chăm chỉ để (4) đạt được nó nhưng ông ấy chẳng bao giờ có thể từ bỏ được ý nghĩ rằng những nỗ lực của mình sẽ luôn nảy đến một cách ngắn ngủi. Vào tuổi 46, (5) không lâu trước khi mất, ông đã giãi bày trong cuốn sổ tay cá nhân rằng cảm giác sâu thẳm về sự thiếu thốn đã ám ảnh ông trong suốt sự nghiệp. Ông phát nói rằng đúng là chẳng có ngày nào ông không cảm thấy mình lười biếng, rằng ông luôn chậm trễ trong công việc hiện tại và tỉ lệ công việc của ông là cực kỳ nhỏ. Thậm chí trong những tháng đầu sau thành công vang dội của “Animal Farm”, ông nhanh chóng coi nhẹ thành quả của mình, tuyên bố rằng cuốn sách tiếp theo chắc chắn sẽ thất bại.

Dĩ nhiên, chẳng có nhà văn tâm huyết nào hoàn toàn (6) hài lòng với công việc của họ., nhưng những hoài nghi của Orwell quá (7) dai dẳng đến nỗi mà ông thường có vẻ (8) thừa nhận những thất bại hơn là công nhận sự thành công. Năm 1940, sau khi xuất bản cuốn sách thứ 8, ông (9) trả lời lá thư tỏ lòng ngưỡng mộ từ một nhà văn khác bằng cách (10) cố gắng chỉ ra cho người đàn ông đó tại sao mình không (11) xứng đáng với lời khen ngợi của anh ta. “ Nó làm tôi bật cười”, ông viết, “khi thấy anh coi tôi là ‘nổi tiếng’ và ‘thành công’. Tôi tự hỏi liệu anh cho rằng sách của tôi sẽ bán được ít tới mức nào!”
