只为成功找方法，不为失败找借口 1) 如果『不为失败找借口 』的『为』是『因为』的『为』： The only way to become successful is to find a method of becoming so. Do not make up excuses in the face of failure. 2) 『不为失败找借口 』的『为』不可能是『成为』的『为』： So, the translation CANNOT be: The only way to become successful is to find a method of becoming so. Do not become a failure by making excuses. (Native speakers: your thoughts?)

我是这样理解的： Find ways to be succesful, don't find excuses for failure If I'm reading it right, this sentence is telling you to focus on becoming succesful and telling you to take responsibility for your failures. 这里的“为” 不是因为的为吧

My chinese is not very good, maybe this is what you ae trying to express: Making excuses for your failures will not help you achieve success.
