貪婪的靈魂
74. The Greedy Soul
原則 (Principle)
Principle
一個人何以成為精英？答案在於走出屬於自己的獨特道路。一旦你堅持走自己的路，世界的瑰寶便會向你展現，旁人也會讚嘆你如何做到這一切。擁有大無畏的膽識，無需在意那一成不變的刻板印象；勇敢相信靈魂具有無限可能；大膽主張擁有屬於自己偉大個性的權利。只要大腦容許，你的靈魂自然會找到實現夢想的辦法。別害羞，全力以赴，毫不猶豫地向自己想要的目標發出命令。要現實，但同時也要求不可能之事。
What makes a person one of the elite? The answer? Their own unique path. As soon as you go your own way, the treasures of the world will be revealed to you and then others will look at you and wonder how you do it. Have the audacity not to give a damn about stereotypes; Have the audacity to believe in the limitless possibilities of the soul; Have the audacity to claim the right to your own great personality. If the mind will allow it, the soul will find a way to realize your dream. Don’t be too shy to go the whole hog and order anything you want. Be realistic, demand the impossible.
詮釋
Interpretation
無論你為自己訂下什麼目標，在理性世界觀的框架下都會顯得難以達成。這個「無法實現」的刻板印象極為僵化，大腦會不斷詢問：「我該如何實現呢？」此時，心必須告訴你：「安靜些，這並非你的問題，我們正是在選擇一個玩具！」當你站在做出選擇 (Choice) 的門檻上時，所有限制都不該成為阻礙。你是否想過擁有一艘船？那何不擁有自己的遊艇呢？夢想住進公寓？那又何必止步，何不擁有一座豪宅？甚至，如果你渴望當上部門主管，又何妨雄心壯志地成為企業總裁？還是你想花微薄金錢買塊廉價土地自建住宅？那又何妨擁有地中海上的私人島嶼？你甚至可以選擇拋開工作，全心全意享受生活的樂趣。這一連串「那又如何」的問答，只會顯得你的要求相對於追求屬於自己的目標而言是如此謙遜。
Whatever goal you set for yourself, it will be difficult to achieve within the context of a rational world-view. The stereotype of the unachievable goal is the most rigid of all. The mind will ask, «How do I achieve it?» That is when your heart needs to say, «Be quiet, that’s not your concern. We are choosing a toy!» When you are at the threshold of making a choice, limitations should be of no concern to you whatsoever. Did you want to have a boat? What about having your own yacht? Did you want to have a flat? What about your own mansion? Did you want to be head of department? What about being president of the corporation? Did you want to buy a cheap plot of land and build your own house? What about having your own island in the Mediterranean? Did you want to work a lot to earn a lot of money? How about not working at all and living for your own pleasure? The list of ‘what about’s’ could go on forever. You cannot imagine how modest your requests are in comparison to what you could have if you went after your own personal goal through your own personal door.

是什麼讓一個人成為精英？答案是他們自己獨特的道路。當你走上自己的道路時，世界的寶藏將向你揭示，然後其他人會看著你，想知道你是如何做到的。要有膽量不在乎刻板印象；要有膽量相信靈魂的無限可能；要有膽量主張擁有偉大個性的權利。如果心靈允許，靈魂將找到實現你夢想的方法。不要害羞，勇敢地去追求你想要的一切。要現實，要求不可能的事。

無論你為自己設定什麼目標，在理性世界觀的背景下實現它都會很困難。無法實現目標的刻板印象是最堅固的。心靈會問：「我該如何實現它？」這時你的心靈需要說：「安靜，這不關你的事。我們在選擇玩具！」當你在做出選擇的門檻上時，限制不應該成為你的顧慮。你想要一艘船嗎？那麼擁有自己的遊艇呢？你想要一套公寓嗎？那麼擁有自己的豪宅呢？你想成為部門主管嗎？那麼成為公司的總裁呢？你想買一塊便宜的土地建自己的房子嗎？那麼擁有地中海的私人島嶼呢？你想努力工作賺很多錢嗎？那麼不工作並為自己的快樂而活呢？這些「那麼」的清單可以永遠繼續下去。你無法想像與你通過自己的個人門追求個人目標相比，你的要求是多麼謙虛。

什麼使人成為精英？答案？他們的獨特路徑。一旦你走自己的路，世界寶藏會向你揭示，他人會看你，驚嘆你如何做到。有膽無視刻板印象；有膽相信靈魂無限可能；有膽宣稱你的偉大人格權利。若頭腦允許，靈魂會找到實現夢想的方式。勿羞於全力以赴，訂購任何想要的。現實點，要求不可能。

無論你設何目標，在理性世界觀 (Rational Worldview) 背景下難達成。不可達目標的刻板印象最嚴苛。頭腦會問：“如何達成？”心靈需說：“安靜，這不關你的事。我們在選玩具！”在選擇門檻，限制不應關你事。你想要船？何不擁有遊艇？你想要公寓？何不自家豪宅？你想做部門主管？何不做公司總裁？你想買廉價地建房？何不地中海的島？你想多工作賺多錢？何不完全不工作，為快樂生活？“何不”清單可無限續。你無法想像相較你走個人目標與門可得的，你的請求多謙卑。
