Think a minute! Who is your enemy? In a war you must know whom you’re fighting. And in life, did you know that your real enemy is in your own mind? You see nothing can defeat or ruin your life more than your own wrong thinking about yourself. If you believe and think that you’re not smart, or that you’re lazy, and you’ll never succeed in life, that’s just what you’ll be.
請想一分鐘！誰是你的敵手？戰(zhàn)爭中必須知道在與誰決戰(zhàn)。人生中你是否認識到你真正的敵人是你的心靈呢？沒有東西比你對自己的錯誤認識更能擊敗和毀滅自己了。如果你認為自己不夠聰慧，人也懶散，那你就會終生一事無成，那正是你想象的結(jié)果。
Because we become whatever we think we are. That’s why the Bible says. “As a man sees himself, so is that man or woman.” So friend, your low self-confidence will limit and paralyze you. You really have many abilities, but if you don’t believe you have them, you’ll never use them. And your fear of tailing or being rejected by people can stop you from moving ahead in life.
因為我們會為我們想象中的自己，這就是為什么《圣經(jīng)》說：“一個人怎樣看待自己，其為人就是怎樣?！币虼伺笥?，你消沉的自信心將阻止你，擊垮你。你其實具有許多能力，但如果自己不相信它們，那你就永遠也不會去發(fā)揮它們，懼怕失敗，擔心別人的排斥，會阻止你前進。
You know that in zoos, a baby elephant is tied with a thick chain to a strong post? And at first, the elephant pulls and tries to get free from the chain. But finally it gives up and stops pulling. After that, only a thin rope is all that’s needed to tie that big elephant down. Because the rest of his life, that elephant believes he is stuck and he doesn’t have the strength to break that little thin rope. You see friend, we all can become like that elephant. Because if I let myself think that I can’t go any further in life than this, then I won’t go any further. Just think a minute…
你知道嗎？動物園小象，被一條結(jié)實的鏈子拴在一根堅固的柱子上，起初，小象奮力拉拽，想擺脫鎖鏈的束縛，但最終它放棄了，不再拉拽，此后，僅需一根細繩就可以約束這個龐然大物。因為大在象余生都以為自己被束縛著，也無力掙脫那根細繩。朋友，你瞧我們都有可能像那頭小象，因為如果你讓自己相信在生活中不能進取了，那么你就真的會原地踏步。請想一分鐘……
