生活充滿選擇
Michael is the kind of guy you love to hate. He is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, "If I were any better, I’d be twins!” He was a natural motivator.
邁克爾是那種你真想恨一恨的家伙，他總是樂(lè)呵呵的，總是說(shuō)些積極上進(jìn)的話。如果有人問(wèn)他近況如何，他會(huì)這樣回答：“如果我還能再好，我就成雙胞胎了!”他生來(lái)就會(huì)讓人積極進(jìn)取。
If an employee was having a bad day, Michael was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation. Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up to Michael and asked him, "I don' t get it. You can' t be positive all the time. How do you do it?"
如果哪位雇員有天過(guò)得很糟糕，邁克爾會(huì)告訴他如何看待問(wèn)題的積極一面。他的這種方式著實(shí)讓我好奇，所以有一天我找到邁克爾問(wèn)：“我真弄不明白。你怎么能總是那樣積極樂(lè)觀?你是如何做到這一點(diǎn)的?”
成功之道
It is well that young men should begin at the beginning and occupy the most subordinate positions. Many of the leading businessmen of Pittsburgh had a serious responsibility thrust upon them at the very threshold of their career. They were introduced to the broom, and spent the first hours of their business lives sweeping out the office. I notice we have janitors and janitresses now in offices, and our young men unfortunately miss that salutary branch of business education. But if by chance the professional sweeper is absent any morning, the boy who has the genius of the future partner in him will not hesitate to try his hand at the broom. It does not hurt the newest comer to sweep out the office if necessary. I was one of those sweepers myself.
年輕人創(chuàng)業(yè)之初，應(yīng)該從最底層干起，這是件好事。匹茲保有很多商業(yè)巨頭，在他們創(chuàng)業(yè)之初，都肩負(fù)過(guò)“重任”：他們以掃帚相伴，以打掃辦公室的方式度過(guò)了他們商業(yè)生涯中最初的時(shí)光。我注意到我們現(xiàn)在辦公室里都有工友，于是年輕人就不幸錯(cuò)過(guò)了商業(yè)教育中這個(gè)有益的環(huán)節(jié)。如果碰巧哪天上午專職掃地的工友沒(méi)有來(lái)，某個(gè)具有未來(lái)合伙人氣質(zhì)的年輕人會(huì)毫不猶豫地試著拿起掃帚。在必要時(shí)新來(lái)的員工掃掃地也無(wú)妨，不會(huì)因?yàn)槎惺裁磽p失。我自己就曾經(jīng)掃過(guò)地。
Assuming that you have all obtained employment and are fairly started, my advice to you is “aim high”. I would not give a fig for the young man who does not already see himself the partner or the head of an important firm. Do not rest content for a moment in your thoughts as head clerk, or foreman, or general manager in any concern, no matter how extensive. Say to yourself, “My place is at the top.” Be king in your dreams.
假如你已經(jīng)被錄用，并且有了一個(gè)良好的開(kāi)端，我對(duì)你的建議是：要志存高遠(yuǎn)。一個(gè)年輕人，如果不把自己想象成一家大公司未來(lái)的老板或者是合伙人，那我會(huì)對(duì)他不屑一顧。不論職位有多高，你的內(nèi)心都不要滿足于做一個(gè)總管，領(lǐng)班或者總經(jīng)理。要對(duì)自己說(shuō)：我要邁向頂尖!要做就做你夢(mèng)想中的國(guó)王!
And here is the prime condition of success, the great secret: concentrate your energy, thought, and capital exclusively upon the business in which you are engaged. Having begun in one line, resolve to fight it out on that line, to lead in it, adopt every improvement, have the best machinery, and know the most about it.
成功的首要條件和秘訣就是：把你的精力，思想和資本全都集中在你正從事的事業(yè)上。一旦開(kāi)始從事某種職業(yè)，就要下定決心在那一領(lǐng)域闖出一片天地來(lái);做這一行的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人物，采納每一點(diǎn)改進(jìn)之心，采用良的設(shè)備，對(duì)專業(yè)知識(shí)熟稔于心。
The concerns which fail are those which have scattered their capital, which means that they have scattered their brains also. They have investments in this, or that, or the other, here there, and everywhere. “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.” is all wrong. I tell you to “put all your eggs in one basket, and then watch that basket.” Look round you and take notice, men who do that not often fail. It is easy to watch and carry the one basket. It is trying to carry too many baskets that breaks most eggs in this country. He who carries three baskets must put one on his head, which is apt to tumble and trip him up. One fault of the American businessman is lack of concentration.
一些公司的失敗就在于他們分散了資金，因?yàn)檫@就意味著分散了他們的精力。他們向這方面投資，又向那方面投資;在這里投資，在那里投資，到處都投資。“不要把所有的雞蛋放在一個(gè)籃子里”的說(shuō)法大錯(cuò)特錯(cuò)。我要對(duì)你說(shuō)：“把所有的雞蛋都放在一個(gè)籃子里，然后小心地看好那個(gè)籃子。”看看你周圍，你會(huì)注意到：這么做的人其實(shí)很少失敗?？垂芎蛿y帶一個(gè)籃子并不太難。人們總是試圖提很多籃子，所以才打破這個(gè)國(guó)家的大部分雞蛋。提三個(gè)籃子的人，必須把一個(gè)頂在頭上，而這個(gè)籃子很可能倒下來(lái)，把他自己絆倒。美國(guó)商人的一個(gè)缺點(diǎn)就是不夠?qū)Ｗⅰ?/p>
To summarize what I have said: aim for the highest; never enter a bar room; do not touch liquor, or if at all only at meals; never speculate; never indorse beyond your surplus cash fund; make the firm’s interest yours; break orders always to save owners; concentrate; put all your eggs in one basket, and watch that basket; expenditure always within revenue; lastly, be not impatient, for as Emerson says, “no one can cheat you out of ultimate success but yourselves.”
把我的話歸納一下：要志存高遠(yuǎn);不要出入酒吧;要滴酒不沾，或要喝也只在用餐時(shí)喝少許;不要做投機(jī)買賣;不要寅吃卯糧;要把公司的利益當(dāng)作自己的利益;取消訂貨的目的永遠(yuǎn)是為了挽救貨主;要專注;要把所有的雞蛋放在一個(gè)籃子里，然后小心地看好它;要量入為出;最后，要有耐心，正如愛(ài)默生所言，“誰(shuí)都無(wú)法阻止你最終成功，除非你自己承認(rèn)自己失敗。”
寂寞也好
A man is known by the company he keeps they say. If it is so,then everyone is bound to have their baggage of loneliness with them as companions. Loneliness is not something that doesn't exist at all with any human being on earth. Every human being feels lonely in his life at some point or other. It's but natural to have such feeling, because that's what makes us all human and that is why we are as we are now.
他們說(shuō)人總是通過(guò)他身邊的同伴為人所知的。如果是這樣的話，每個(gè)人都注定與孤獨(dú)為伴。孤獨(dú)感是每個(gè)人都會(huì)有的，都會(huì)在某個(gè)時(shí)候，感到孤獨(dú)，這是非常自然的。因?yàn)楣陋?dú)感令我們成為人，并令我們成為現(xiàn)在的我們。
If we shed some light on why we feel aloof or lonely at times, we would be very much astonished or even probably surprised by the results. We ourselves are responsible for our selfdefined gloominess. This is because at times we really feel that we are uncared for or feel someone doesn't understand us.
如果我們留心思考為什么我們有的時(shí)候會(huì)覺(jué)得高處不勝寒或孤獨(dú)時(shí)，我們會(huì)對(duì)分析的結(jié)果感到非常吃驚。我們自己應(yīng)該對(duì)我們自己所定義的憂郁負(fù)責(zé)任。因?yàn)橛械臅r(shí)候，我們真的覺(jué)得我們被忽視或者不被理解。
Sometimes we over analyze real life situations and have this growing sense of self pity inside us. This feeling always gives us thoughts which picturise us always receiving the wrong end of the stick in life.The truth might not always be true if we touch our heart and see. Its just that our expectations in life and from people around us or circumstances that we are facing,have got the better of us. Expectation is the silent killer which murders millions of mushy and time tested relationships. If there would have been no expectations from anyone, the world would have been a much better place to be. If there would have been no expectations,not many people would have had an aching heart and a life long grouse against there would have been better haves. If it wouldn't have been for unreasonable expectations not many couples would have divorced each other.
有的時(shí)候我們過(guò)度地分析了真實(shí)的情況，這令我們自己產(chǎn)生了自己憐憫自己的感覺(jué)。這種感覺(jué)經(jīng)常會(huì)給我們錯(cuò)覺(jué)，如果我們捫心自問(wèn)，*并不總是真的，它們只是我們對(duì)身邊人和環(huán)境過(guò)高的期待。期待是一個(gè)沉默的殺手，謀殺了無(wú)數(shù)親密的和經(jīng)過(guò)時(shí)間考驗(yàn)的關(guān)系。如果每個(gè)人都不去期待，這個(gè)世界將會(huì)變得更好。如果沒(méi)有期待，就不會(huì)有那么多人感到心痛，而對(duì)于有些人，一生的埋怨也就不會(huì)那么長(zhǎng)了。如果沒(méi)有那些不切實(shí)際的期待，也就不會(huì)有那么多夫妻離婚了。
How to come out of expectations then? Good question. The answer is when you give something, don't expect anything in return. When our mother gave birth to us, she never expected that we will give birth to her. She has just fulfilled her desire to raise a family and live for them. In the same way, let our actions make us live for our self and let not expectation screw up the major portion of your lives. Let us have the freedom and will power to express our love, affection and longiness for people whenever we feel. Let us not restrict our freedom of expression just because he or she is not responding the way we want them to.
那么怎樣才能跳出期待呢?好問(wèn)題。答案是，當(dāng)我們給予的時(shí)候，不要期待任何報(bào)答。我們的媽媽給予我們生命，決沒(méi)有期望我們也給予她生命。她僅僅是完成了她擁有一個(gè)家庭并為之而活的理想。同樣，讓我們?yōu)樽约憾睿灰屍诖蔀槟闵拇蟛糠?。讓我們自由地表達(dá)我們的愛(ài)，感動(dòng)和渴望。當(dāng)別人沒(méi)有像我們期待的那樣回應(yīng)，我們也不要失去表達(dá)感情的自由。
Well all in all a little bit of loneliness is good for a self-analysis to keep a check over your actions. Introspection always makes you communicate with the inner self, but too much of introspection can make you scale the altitude of self pity. So show restrain at the right time.
當(dāng)然，總的來(lái)說(shuō)，一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)的孤獨(dú)對(duì)一個(gè)人審視自己的行為是有好處的。自省總是會(huì)使你與你的心靈有所交流。但是過(guò)度的自省，會(huì)使我們總感覺(jué)遺憾，因此，還是適而可止的好
