做自己的主人
荷叶/译
我将明白只有那些能力欠佳的人,才会永远处于最佳状态,我的能力并不逊色于别人。世上总有些日子,我必须与将要摧毁我的各种力量不断抗争。那些失望和忧伤很容易识别,但有些以微笑和友谊的面目接近我们,它们同样会摧毁我们。对这些,永远也不要放松警惕。 有了这种新认识,我就会理解和识别所接触的人的情绪,我将容忍他今天的怒气冲冲,那是因为他还不懂得控制情绪的奥秘。我能忍受他今日的伤害和侮辱,因为我知道明天他就会改变态度,使人乐于接近。 我不再以一面之交来判断一个人,我也不会因为今日相见的不痛快而拒绝明天的见面。今天他可能不愿意花一分钱来买金篷马车,明天他可能用自己的全部家当换取一棵树。明白这个秘密,是使我获得极大财富的关键。 从此以后,我将会识别所有人以及我自己情绪的秘密。从此刻起我已准备好控制住自己每天的个性。我会以积极行动控制好自己的情绪。当控制好自己情绪时,也就控制了自己的命运。 我将成为自己的主人。 附:原文 Master of Myself I will know that only those with inferior ability can always be at their best, and I am not inferior. There will be days when Imust IN THE WORLD constantly struggle against forces which would tear me down.Those such a despair and sadness are simple to recognize but there are others which approach with a smile and the hand of friendship and they can also destroy me. Against them, too. I must never relinquish control. And with this newknowledge I will also understand and recognize the moods of him on whom I call,I will make allowances for his anger and irritation of today for he knows not the secret of controlling his mind. I can withstand him arrows and insults fornow I know that tomorrow he will change and be a joy to approach. No longer will Ijudge a man on one meeting, no longer will I fail to call again tomorrow on hewho meets me with hate today. This day he will not buy gold chariots for apenny, yet tomorrow he would exchange his home for a tree. My knowledge of this secret will be my key to great wealth. Henceforth I will recognize and identify the mystery of moods in all mankind, and in me.From this moment I am prepared to control whatever personality awakes in me each day. I will master my moods through positive action and when I master my moods I will control my destiny. I will become master of myself.
