学习
!
找寻自己
Find Yourself
Who are we? That is
the first question. It
’
s a
question
that
’
s
almost impossible to answer.
我们到底是谁
?
这是我们要解答的第一个问题，
是一个几乎回答
不
了的问题
But
we
all
agree
that
one
’
s
busy
or
daily
self
is
not
quite
one
’
s
real
self.
We
’
re
quite
sure
that
we
’
ve
lost
something
in
the course of just making our
living.
。
但是我们都同意这一点，那个每天在日常生活中奔忙
的自己，
并不是我们真实的自己。
我们都很清楚，
我们在为生计奔波的过程中
失去了某些东西。
A crowd is watching
a person running about looking for
something
in
a
field,
and
a
wise
man
asks,
“
What
has
that
person
lost?
”
Someone
may
guess
a
watch,
another
a
diamond
ring.
When
everyone
has
guessed,
the
wise
man
who
like
everyone
else
there
has no idea, says,
“
I
’
ll
tell you one thing for sure.
He
’
s lost some
breath.
”
当一群人看着一个人在田野中奔跑着寻找某个东西时
，智者向
他们出了一个谜题：“那个人到底丢失了什么
?
”有个人认为是一块
手表，另一个人认为是一枚钻石戒指。其他人也有
不同的答案，智者
也不知道那个人丢失了什么，但他却说：
“我
可以明确地告诉你们一
件事，他丢失了一些生命力。”
And no one can deny
that he
’
s right. The point
is that
we often forget our true selves
in pursuit of things that are
external1
to us, like a bird forgetting its own danger in
pursuit of a mantis, which in turn
forgets its own danger in
pursuit of
some other prey.
<
/p>
没有人认为智者所言是错的。其实我们经常在为生计奔波时忘
记了
我们自己，
就像一只鸟在捕捉螳螂时忘记了自己的安危，
相应地
，
螳螂在捕捉它的猎物时也忘记了自己的安危。
停止
Just Quit
Quit
making
excuses!
Making
excuses
or
blaming
others
for
any situation in your
life is nothing more than playing the
victim.
停止编造借口
!
无论生活中发生何种情
况，
编造借口或责怪他人
无非是一种假扮受害者的行为。
Take
responsibility!
Make
your
life
decisions,
and
if
you
don
’
t, then
it
’
s your fault. You are a
spiritual being in a
physical body, and
your spirit should run your life. Take it
back!
Make today the
day
you quit
playing
the
victim by
making
excuses and blaming others for what
happens to you.
承担起责任
!
你应自己做决定，如果没有，
那么这是你的失误。
你的思想存在于你的身体里，
而你的思想左
右你的生活。
取回你的思
想
!
从今天开始，当面对发生在你身上的事时，停止编造借口或责怪
他人。<
