世界正如你心中所想，它是一座映照你與之關係的鏡子。人生是一場遊戲，這個世界向所有生靈拋出同一謎題：「猜猜看，我到底長什麼樣？」每個人根據自身感知，以各自的方式回答，如「你充滿攻擊性」、「你令人感到舒適」，甚至「你快樂、憂鬱、友善、敵對、幸福、不幸」。有趣的是，在這場測驗中，人人都是勝者；世界會依據既定外貌呈現給每個人。那麼，你如何看待自己的世界呢？（Note: 探討你與世界間互動投射的關係）
The world is what you think of it. The world is a mirror that reflects your relationship to it. Life is a game in which the world puts the same riddle to all its inhabitants: “OK, guess, what do I look like?” Everyone responds in their own way according to their own perception: “You are aggressive,” or “you are cozy,” or even “cheerful, gloomy, friendly, hostile, happy, ill-fated.” The interesting thing is that in this quiz, everyone is a winner. The world agrees with everyone and appears before each according to the guise that was ordered. What do you think of your world?
詮釋
Interpretation
當一個人深信這個世界上的所有美好事物都已銷售一空時，他的「貨架」便永遠空無一物；若他認為購買高品質的物品必須排長隊並支付高額金錢，結果也會如他所想。若一個人的期待充滿悲觀與疑慮，那麼這樣的結果必然會實現；反之，若期盼遇到不友善的環境，其顧慮也會變為現實。然而，若一個人抱持著一種純真的信念——相信世界已為他預留最佳之物，事情便會另有轉機。那些不明白無奮鬥便無所成就的怪人，總會在不經意之間發現自己正巧站在櫃台前，獲得一批似乎專為他們準備的新貨；隨後發現，原來第一個購買者可以免費得到所有東西，接著一大群人排起长龙，明白生活的現實有多麼悲慘，而其他所謂的「倒楣蛋」僅僅是運氣好而已。如此說來，如果某天當你面對「生活現實」時，那些曾自認運氣不錯的怪人改變了對世界的看法，他們的現實也會隨之改變，而當他們終於「睜開雙眼看見真相」時，卻會被迫排在最末端。（Note: 強調信念與期望對現實的塑造作用）
When a person is convinced that all the best things in this world have already sold out, their shelves will remain empty. When they think that buying a high-quality item will mean standing in a huge queue and then parting with a large sum of money then that is exactly what will happen. If a person’s expectations are pessimistic and riddled with doubt, then they will undoubtedly be justified. If a person expects to meet with an unfriendly environment, their misgivings will be proven true. However, when a person is imbued with the innocent thought that the world has reserved the best in life for them, this also works. The eccentric, who does not know that nothing can be achieved without a struggle, somehow finds himself or herself at the counter, where there has just been a fresh delivery as if timed especially for them. Then they suddenly learn that the first buyer gets everything for free. A long queue forms behind them of people who know that the reality of life is pretty miserable and all the other fools were just lucky. If someday when confronted with the ‘realities of life’ the lucky eccentric changes their opinion of the world, their reality will change accordingly and when they finally “open their eyes to the truth,” they will be thrown right to the very back of the queue.

世界就是你對它的看法。世界是一面反映你與它關係的鏡子。生活是一場遊戲，世界向所有居民提出同樣的謎題：“好吧，猜猜，我看起來像什麼？”每個人都根據自己的感知做出回應：“你是具有攻擊性的，”或者“你是舒適的，”甚至“快樂的、陰沉的、友好的、敵對的、幸福的、不幸的。”有趣的是，在這個測驗中，每個人都是贏家。世界同意每個人，並根據所要求的面貌出現在每個人面前。你對你的世界有什麼看法？

當一個人相信這個世界上所有最好的東西已經賣光時，他們的貨架將保持空空如也。當他們認為購買高品質的商品意味著要排很長的隊，然後支付一大筆錢時，這正是會發生的事情。如果一個人的期望是悲觀的，充滿懷疑，那麼這些期望無疑會被證明是正確的。如果一個人預期會遇到不友好的環境，他們的擔憂就會成真。然而，當一個人充滿天真的想法，認為世界為他們保留了生活中最好的東西，這也會奏效。那個不知情的人，不知道沒有奮鬥就無法達成任何成就，卻發現自己站在櫃檯前，正好有一批新貨到達，彷彿是為他們量身定做的。然後他們突然得知，第一個買家可以免費獲得一切。在他們身後排著長隊，這些人知道生活的現實是相當悲慘的，其他傻瓜只是運氣好。如果有一天，當面對“生活的現實”時，幸運的怪人改變了對世界的看法，他們的現實也會隨之改變，當他們最終“看清真相”時，他們將被拋到隊伍的最後。

世界是你認為的樣子。世界是鏡子，反映你對它的關係。生活是一場遊戲，世界對所有居民提出同一謎題：“猜猜我看起來如何？”每人依自己的感知回答：“你侵略”“你舒適”或“快樂、陰鬱、友善、敵對、幸福、不幸。”有趣的是，在這測驗中，每人都是贏家。世界同意每人，依訂購的面貌呈現。你認為你的世界如何？

當人確信世上最好之物已售罄，他們的架子將空無。當他們認為買高品質物品需排長隊、付出大筆錢，這會發生。若人的預期悲觀且充滿懷疑，必應驗。若人預期遇不友善環境，顧慮成真。但當人抱持天真想法，認為世界為他們保留最好，這也奏效。不知無需爭鬥的怪人，總在櫃檯收到新貨，彷彿專為他們定時。然後他們突知首買者免費。知生活現實悲慘的其他人排長隊，認為其他傻瓜只是幸運。若某天面對“生活現實”，幸運怪人改變對世界的看法，他們的現實會相應改變，當他們終於“睜眼看真相”，會被扔到隊伍最末。
