“If your WHY is not strong enough, you will continue to search for an easier ‘how to’.”
「如果你的动机不够强烈，你将不断寻找一个更容易的方法。」– 罗伯特‧清崎 (理财作家)
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:
在今日成为一个男人是什么意思？男人要如何自觉的展现他们的男人特质，且在一方面不变得冷漠或内心封闭… 并在另一方面不变得懦弱或柔弱？什么是一个自觉的男人展现他自己最美好的方式？
这里是让男人更自觉的生活的 10 个方法：
“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.”
「这是献给疯狂者、另类者、反抗者、麻烦制造者、方洞里的圆钉、看事情方式不一样的人。他们不喜欢规则，且他们对现状不带有尊重。你可以引用他们、不同意他们、赞颂或丑化他们。大概你唯一不能做的事是忽视他们，因为他们改变事情，他们把人类向前推进。当有人可能把他们当作疯子时，我们看到天才，因为那些疯狂到以为他们可以改变世界的人，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.”
「我们必需透过阅读、聆听、讨论、观察及思考来学习，我们绝不能忽视那些学习方法中的任何一种。我们大多数人的问题是没有做到后者 – 思考 – 因为思考对人们来说是件困难的工作… 世界上所有的问题都可以轻易的被解决，只要人们愿意思考。」– 汤玛斯‧华生 (IBM 创办人)
“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.”
「我后来已相信我们每个人皆有如同指纹般独特的个人召唤 – 而成功最好的方法是发现你热爱的是什么然后寻找一个以服务形式把它提供给他人的方法，努力工作，并且容许宇宙的能量来引导你。」– 欧普拉‧温芙蕾 (脱口秀主持人)
“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.”
「世上没有东西可以取代坚持。才华不能，没有东西比有才华但没成功的人更普遍。天才不能，未得回报的天才几乎已成格言。教育不能，这世上充斥着有学问的游民。单是坚持及决心已是万能。『继续下去』这个标语已解决并将永远解决人类的问题。」– 卡尔文‧柯立芝 (美国第 30 任总统)
“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规划，你将可能落入别人的规划。而猜猜他们可能为你规划了什么？不多。」– 吉姆‧罗恩 (励志作家)
