卖了法拉利的和尚
>> Saturday, May 9, 2009
最近遇到一个朋友,她从包包里拿出了一本书,对我说:现在我正在看这本书,一本很有意思的书, 本书为 The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari。
书名吸引了我。 它是一本精巧的小书,有个有趣的名字。
故事大概是说,有位很成功很富有的律师,忽然在法庭上心脏病发晕倒,在医院醒来后便变卖一切(当然包括他的法拉利跑车),去了喜玛拉雅山寻道去,结果遇上了一个神秘社群,学了一套人生智慧,于是回来传播这些讯息。
虽然书中的讯息带有很多的印度谚语、大众心理学、或新纪元思想,或许是老生常谈; 然而,「知」亦不等于「记得」,「记」又不等于「行」:
思想力量:
So, if I want to have the inner strength to get up earlier, eat less, read more, worry less, be more patient or be more loving, all I have to do is exert my will to cleanse my thoughts?
如果我想利用意志力,让自己起床起早点、吃饭吃少点、读书读多点、忧心忧少点、耐性多一点、或爱心多一点,我只需要洁净我的思想?
When you control your thoughts, you control your mind. When you control your mind, you control your life. And once you reach the stage of being in total control of your life, you become the master of your destiny.
当你能控制你的思绪,你便能控制你的头脑;当你能控制你的头脑,你便能控制你的生活。当你能控制你的生活,你便能控制你的命运。
You have the power to be more than your environment. Similarly, you have the capacity to be more than a prisoner of your past. To do this, you must become the master of your will.
你的力量比你身处的环境大,亦比困着你的过去大。要突破这囚牢,你先要成为你意志力的主人。
语言的力量:
Remember, words are great influencers. Words are the verbal embodiment of power. By filling your mind with words of kindness, you become kind. By filling your mind with words of courage, you become courageous. Words has power... 记着,文字是极有影响力的,它们内有能量。如果你满脑子仁慈的句子,你都会变仁慈;如果你满脑子勇气的句子,你都会变勇敢。文字是有力量的。
人生目标:
"...when we are born, we are crying while the world rejoices... we should live our lives in such a way that when we die, the world cries while we are rejoicing." 当我们出生时,我们在哭而身边的世界在欢庆... 我们应该选择的生活方式, 是 - 当我们离开世间时,身边的世界为了我们的离去哭泣,而我们自己在欢庆。
愿与大家共勉之。
