Translated by Mesud2991
Target language: English

Obstacles are for overcoming. Overcome that obstacle for yourself, not because others want you to.
Remarks about the translation
The Turkish text is not clear. Another possibility would be

Obstacles are for overcoming. Overcome that obstacle for yourself, not because others do so.

Hi Mesud,

This way, it sounds like others like the obstacle. Do you mean 'not because others want you to'?

Hi Lein,

I'm trying to understand the Turkish. It goes the way I translated. But your suggestion makes sense to me, too. Let me sleep on it. I'll explain later.

Edit: Apparently, the Turkish text is incorrect. We can go with your proposal, Lein. Or we can say "not because others do so"

'not because others want you to'...>'not because the others want it.
instate of "beÄŸeniyor:like" can be "istemek:want" better.

In that case, it would sound like others want the obstacle.

By the way, as I said before, 'the others' refers to specific people.

Apologies for any missing punctuation, my keyboard has gone mad.

I have changed others to the others to make it refer to a specific group of people.

As for want it, I agree with Mesud. This way, the text says not because others want you to overcome the obstacle. Is that not the meaning of the text?

But because there is no reference to a specific group of people in the original text, we should remove 'the'.

O, so sorry, I misunderstood your post above
I have removed 'the'.
