勇敢面对自己内心的敌人
荷叶/译
勇气不会与生俱来，恐惧也不例外。有些恐惧来自于个人经历，他人的告诫，报纸上的文章。一些恐惧顺理成章，比如凌晨两点独自行走在治安较差的路段。但你一旦学会避免那种局面，就不必再生活在恐惧之中。
哪怕是最基本的恐惧都能彻底摧毁我们的报负。恐惧可能毁掉我们的财产。恐惧可能摧毁我们的关系。如果不加控制，恐惧可能毁掉我们的一生。恐惧是潜伏在我们体内的众多敌人中的一个。
让我告诉你来自内心的五种其它敌人。第一个在它摧毁你之前必须摧毁的敌人是漫不经心。这是多么可悲的疾病啊！“哈哼，让它过去吧，我只随波逐流。”问题是，随波逐流爬不上山顶。
我们要面对的第二个敌人是优柔寡断。优柔寡断是机会和事业的小偷。它偷走了美好未来的机会。挥剑斩此敌。
第三个内在的敌人是怀疑一切。当然，要给健康的怀疑留下空间。你不可能相信一切。但也不可让怀疑占主导地位。许多人怀疑过去，怀疑未来，怀疑彼此，怀疑政府，怀疑机遇，最糟糕的是，怀疑自己。告诉你，怀疑会毁了你的生活，毁了你成功的机会。它会掏空你的存款，掏空你的心灵。追上这个敌人，把它除掉。
第四个内在敌人是忧心忡忡。所有人都应有所忧虑。只是不能让忧虑主宰你。相反，让它警醒你。忧虑有时很有用。当你在纽约市区，一脚踏出人行道时，一辆出租迎面而来，此时，你需要忧虑 。但决不可让忧虑像一匹脱缰的野马一样把你逼上死角。你应该把它逼上死角。不论是什么，只要它想抓住你，你先抓住它。不管是什么，只要它想推动你，你先把它推回去。
第五个内在敌人是过度谨慎。这是一种胆小怕事的生活方式。胆怯不是美德，而是一种疾病。如果放手，它会控制你。胆怯的人得不到提升。在市场竞争中他们不会进步，不会成长，不会壮大。你要避免过度谨慎。
与这几种敌人战斗。与自己的恐惧战斗。树立信心，与阻碍自己远离目标，远离梦想，阻碍自己前进的一切战斗。勇敢地生活，勇敢地追求自己想要的事物，想要成为的人生。 附：原文 We are not bornwith courage, but neither are we born with fear. Maybe some of our fears arebrought on by your own experiences, by what someone has told you, by whatyou've read in the papers. Some fears are valid, like walking alone in a badpart of town at two o'clock in the morning. But once you learn to avoid thatsituation, you won't need to live in fear of it. Fears, even themost basic ones, can totally destroy our ambitions. Fear can destroy fortunes.Fear can destroy relationships. Fear, if left unchecked, can destroy our lives.Fear is one of the many enemies lurking inside us. Let me tell you about five of the other enemies we face from within. The first enemy thatyou've got to destroy before it destroys you is indifference. What a tragic disease this is! "Ho-hum, let it slide. I'll just drift along."Here's one problem with drifting: you can't drift your way to the top of themountain. The second enemy weface isindecision.Indecision is the thief of opportunity and enterprise. It will steal yourchances for a better future. Take a sword to this enemy. The third enemy side is doubt. Sure,there's room for healthy skepticism. You can't believe everything. But you alsocan't let doubt take over. Many people doubt the past,doubt the future, doubt each other, doubt the government, doubt the possibilities and doubt the opportunities. Worse of all, they doubt themselves.I'm telling you, doubt will destroy your life and your chances of success. It will empty both your bank account and your heart. Doubtis an enemy. Go after it. Get rid of it. The fourth enemy within is worry. We've all got to worry some. Just don't let conquer you.Instead, let it alarm you. Worry can be useful. If you step off the curb in New York City and a taxiis coming, you've got to worry. But you can't let worry loose like a mad dog that drives you into a small corner. Here's what you've got to do with your worries: drive them into a small corner. Whatever is out to get you, you've gotto get it. Whatever is pushing on you, you've got to push back. The fifth interior enemy is overcaution. It is the timid approach to life. Timidity is not avirtue; it's an illness. If you let it go, it'll conquer you. Timid people don't get promoted. They don't advance and grow and become powerful in the marketplace. You've got to avoid overcaution. Do battle with the enemy. Do battle with your fears. Build your courage to fight what's holding you back, what's keeping you from your goals and dreams. Be courageous in yourlife and in your pursuit of the things you want and the person you want to become.
