[培育意志和毅力,不要害怕困難和逆境]
意志只不過是一把利刃,有如精神方面的刀和劍;
意志和道德,沒有絲毫的關係。
意志強的人,認為一意孤行代表了孤軍作戰的勇氣和毅力,
最討厭就是要臨崖勒馬!
所以下面這兩句亦是強姦者的座右銘:
The winners in life think constantly
in terms of I can, I will, and I am.
Losers, on the other hand,
concentrate their waking thoughts on
what they should have or would have done,
or what they can’t do.
( Dennis Waitley )
It always seems impossible until it’s done.
( Nelson Mandela )
一個想成功的人,除了面皮要厚,堅持自己理直氣壯之外,
行動必須配合堅強的意志和毅力,千萬不要放棄。
莎士比亞說過:凡事須盡力而為,半途而廢者永無成就。
Good things come to those who belief,
better things come to those who are patient
and the best things come to those
who don’t give up. Nothing in this world
can take the place of persistence.
Winners are people who never quit.
And as long as you keep trying, not afraid
of making mistakes, there’s still hope.
When you look back on your life,
you can see how strong you’ve become
and you’ll be proud of who you are.
所以凡是我喜歡做的事情我都會去試,
而且無論其間遇到什麼困難,
我都能夠以無比的韌力與決心去克服,
將挫折轉化為積極的力量,鍥而不捨,不達目的誓不甘休。
我會奮鬥到「最後一分一秒」,直到潮退的時候,
直到大家都發現我就是那位沒有穿泳褲的人的時候。
這就是為甚麼每次面對挑戰,
我都能夠在努力不懈之下度過難關。
Endurance is nobler than strength,
and patience than beauty.
( John Ruskin )
妳要明白「逆境是成長必經的過程,
能勇於接受逆境的人,生命就會日漸的茁壯。
好像妳這種在溫室長大的人,則會失掉抗逆能力。」
所以我的父母一早就放手讓我闖禍和撞板,
鍛鍊了我一身好本領!
而且我父親做事一向「斬而不奏」或「先斬後奏」,
他絕對是我崇拜的偶像。
這個世界只歡迎成功的人!
Success is to be measured not so much by
the position that one has reached in life
as by the obstacles which he has overcome.
( Booker T. Washington )
Success is not final, failure is not fatal;
it is the courage to continue that counts.
( Winston Churchill )
所以意志和毅力十分重要!
對他們來說,叔本華這句金句等同廢話:
My desire is for wisdom,
not for the exercise of the will.
The will is the strong blind man
who carries on his shoulders
the lame man who can see.
( Arthur Schopenhauer )
Some wooly-minded smart people said that
both loyalty and courage are virtues.
That’s why the Nazis should be enshrined.
( Jason Ling )
