为何你是自己命运的主宰?
Why You Are"The Master of Your Fate."
恒利曾写下了有警世意味的名句:“我是自己命运的主宰,我是自己灵魂的船长。”
他想必是希望让我们知道,我们是自己命运的主宰,也是自己灵魂的船长,因为我
们有控制自己思想的能力。
When Henley wrote the prophetic lines,"I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of
my soul," he should have informed us that we are the master of our fate, the captains of
our souls, because we have the power to control our thoughts.
他也一定想要告诉我们,我们心中的信念会使我们的头脑化为磁场,然后不明所以
地牵引那些与之共鸣的人、情境和力量,亲近我们。
He should have told us that our brains become magnetized with the dominating
thoughts which we hold in our minds, and, by means with which no man is familiar,
these"magnets" attract to us the forces the people, the circumstances of life which
harmonize with the nature of our dominating thoughts.
他当初真该让我们知道,在我们能积聚大笔的财富之前,必须先让我们的心灵化为
导电的磁场,让心里充满对财富的热切渴望,我们得先具有“金钱自觉”,自觉对金
钱的渴望,便台驱使我们草拟出取之有道的切实计划。
He should have told us that before we can accumulate riches in great abundance, we
must magnetize our minds with intense desire for riches, that we must become"money
conscious" until the desire for money drives us to create definite plans for acquiring it.
虽然恒利是个诗人而非哲学家,却用诗的形式一语道破了伟大的真理,并且以此
自励,诗中的哲学意味则留待继往开来的后人发扬光大。
But, being a poet, and not a philosopher, Henley contented himself by stating a great
truth in poetic form, leaving those who followed him to interpret the philosophical
meaning of his lines.
真理逐步崭露头角,如今事实已然彰显,他诗中所描述的原理法则,正蕴涵着主
宰我们财运的神秘力量。
Little by little, the truth has unfolded itself, until it now appears certain that the
principles described in this book hold the secret of mastery over our economic fate.
