新星誕生
4. A Star Is Born
原則 (Principle)
Principle
要真正獲得成功，你必須拋棄普遍接受的刻板印象，走出屬於自己的獨特道路。任何敢於脫離主流體系的人，便能創造出全新的成功標準。鐘擺 (Pendulum) 絕不容許個體的獨特性；一旦它們發現某顆冉冉升起的新星，便只好將其奉為心腹，一旦新規則確立，大眾便會集體掉頭，追隨這顆新星。若要建立屬於你自己的準則，你就必須堅持做自己。你一定能做到——只需主張你享有那份特權；唯有你自己，能決定享有哪些特權，哪些則不行。（Note: 強調個體獨立、自主與特權意識的重要性）
In order to achieve real success, you have to stop following widely accepted stereotypes and walk your own path. Anyone who pulls it of the general system creates a new measure of success. Pendulums cannot bear individuality. They spot a rising star and have no choice but to make of them a favourite. Once a new rule has been established, the ranks make a U-turn and start following the rising star. In order to establish your own rules, you have to be yourself. You can do it. You simply have to claim the privilege. Only you can decide what privileges you may or may not enjoy.
詮釋
Interpretation
人們一生都被灌輸著自己遠非完美，而成功、財富與名聲僅屬於精英的傳言。鐘擺 (Pendulum) 雖不否認任何人都可能成功，但它們卻巧妙掩蓋了每個人皆有自己獨特品質與能力這一事實。對鐘擺 (Pendulum) 而言，個體性等同於死亡；如果它的所有追隨者都能擺脫束縛、成為獨立自由的人，鐘擺 (Pendulum) 便自然會崩解。明星各自誕生，但鐘擺 (Pendulum) 卻將它們點燃。榜樣和成功的標準是精心製造出來的，目的是把大眾的志向引導至同一方向。換言之，鐘擺 (Pendulum) 的任務就是迫使眾人陷入同一階層，服從統一規則。只有當你意識到必須跳脫這種陣營，才能獲得真正成就。玩別人的遊戲而非自己制定規則毫無意義；無論做什麼，務必主動開創屬於自己的遊戲，這正是成功的秘訣。（Note: 強調個體獨特性與自主創新的重要）
People spend their entire lives being told they are far from perfect, and that success, wealth and fame are the inheritance of the elite. Pendulums do not deny that anyone can succeed but they do carefully hide the fact that everyone has their own unique qualities and abilities. For the pendulums, individuality is like death itself. If all its adherents were to become free individuals shaking off the strings of control, the pendulum would simply fall apart. Stars are born independently but the pendulums light them up. The role model, the standard of success, is created intentionally, to drive the aspirations of the mass in one direction. In other words, the pendulum’s task is to drive everyone into a single rank and force them to obey a common rule. You will achieve nothing until you realize that you have to step out of the rank and file. There is no point in playing someone else's game where you are not the one making up the rules. Whatever you do, always initiate your own game. This is the secret of success.

為了實現真正的成功，你必須停止追隨廣泛接受的刻板印象，走自己的路。任何從一般系統中脫穎而出的人都創造了一個新的成功標準。鐘擺無法忍受個性化。他們發現一顆冉冉升起的明星，別無選擇，只能讓他們成為寵兒。一旦新規則確立，隊伍就會掉頭，開始追隨這顆升起的明星。為了建立自己的規則，你必須做自己。你可以做到。你只需主張特權。只有你能決定自己可以或不可以享受什麼特權。

Interpretation
人們一生都被告知自己遠非完美，成功、財富和名聲是精英的遺產。鐘擺並不否認任何人都可以成功，但他們卻小心翼翼地隱藏了每個人都有自己獨特的品質和能力的事實。對鐘擺來說，個性化就像死亡本身。如果所有追隨者都成為自由個體，擺脫控制的線，鐘擺將會瓦解。明星獨立誕生，但鐘擺讓他們發光。榜樣、成功的標準是故意創造的，以驅動大眾的追求朝一個方向發展。換句話說，鐘擺的任務是將每個人驅入一個隊伍，迫使他們遵循共同的規則。你不會取得任何成就，直到你意識到必須走出隊列。玩別人的遊戲是沒有意義的，因為你不是制定規則的人。無論你做什麼，總是發起自己的遊戲。這是成功的秘密。

為達成真正成功，你必須停止遵循廣泛接受的刻板印象 (Stereotypes)，走自己的路。脫離一般系統的人創造新成功標準。擺錘不容個性 (Individuality)。他們發現新星，別無選擇，只能使其成為寵兒。一旦新規則確立，隊伍轉身跟隨新星。為建立自己的規則，你需做自己。你能做到。只需宣稱特權 (Privilege)。只有你決定可享哪些特權。
