“If your WHY is not strong enough, you will continue to search for an easier ‘how to’.”
「如果你的動機不夠強烈，你將不斷尋找一個更容易的方法。」– 羅伯特‧清崎 (理財作家)
What does it mean to be a man today? How can men consciously express their masculinity without becoming cold or closed-hearted on the one hand… or wimpy and emasculated on the other? What’s the most loving way for a conscious man to express himself?
Here are 10 ways to live more consciously as a man:
在今日成為一個男人是什麼意思？男人要如何自覺的展現他們的男人特質，且在一方面不變得冷漠或內心封閉… 並在另一方面不變得懦弱或柔弱？什麼是一個自覺的男人展現他自己最美好的方式？
這裡是讓男人更自覺的生活的 10 個方法：
“Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. While some may see them as the crazy ones, we, see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
「這是獻給瘋狂者、另類者、反抗者、麻煩製造者、方洞裡的圓釘、看事情方式不一樣的人。他們不喜歡規則，且他們對現狀不帶有尊重。你可以引用他們、不同意他們、讚頌或醜化他們。大概你唯一不能做的事是忽視他們，因為他們改變事情，他們把人類向前推進。當有人可能把他們當作瘋子時，我們看到天才，因為那些瘋狂到以為他們可以改變世界的人，正是那些做到的人。」
“We must study through reading, listening, discussing, observing and thinking. We must not neglect any one of those ways of study. The trouble with most of us is that we fall down on the latter – thinking – because it’s hard work for people to think… All of the problems of the world could be settled easily if men were only willing to think.”
「我們必需透過閱讀、聆聽、討論、觀察及思考來學習，我們絕不能忽視那些學習方法中的任何一種。我們大多數人的問題是沒有做到後者 – 思考 – 因為思考對人們來說是件困難的工作… 世界上所有的問題都可以輕易的被解決，只要人們願意思考。」– 湯瑪斯‧華生 (IBM 創辦人)
“I’ve come to believe that each of us has a personal calling that’s as unique as a fingerprint – and that the best way to succeed is to discover what you love and then find a way to offer it to others in the form of service, working hard, and also allowing the energy of the universe to lead you.”
「我後來已相信我們每個人皆有如同指紋般獨特的個人召喚 – 而成功最好的方法是發現你熱愛的是什麼然後尋找一個以服務形式把它提供給他人的方法，努力工作，並且容許宇宙的能量來引導你。」– 歐普拉‧溫芙蕾 (脫口秀主持人)
“Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan “Press On” has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.”
「世上沒有東西可以取代堅持。才華不能，沒有東西比有才華但沒成功的人更普遍。天才不能，未得回報的天才幾乎已成格言。教育不能，這世上充斥著有學問的遊民。單是堅持及決心已是萬能。『繼續下去』這個標語已解決並將永遠解決人類的問題。」– 卡爾文‧柯立芝 (美國第 30 任總統)
“If you don’t design your own life plan, chances are you’ll fall into someone else’s. And guess what they might have planned for you? Not much.”
「如果你不安排自己的人生規劃，你將可能落入別人的規劃。而猜猜他們可能為你規劃了什麼？不多。」– 吉姆‧羅恩 (勵志作家)
