物以稀為貴。我獨行特立,因而身價百倍。我是千萬年進化的終端產物,頭腦和身體都超過以往的帝王與智者。
But my skills, my mind, my heart, and my body will stagnate, rot, and die lest I put them to good use. I have unlimited potential. Only a small portion of my brain do I employ; only a paltry amount of my muscles do I flex. A hundredfold or more can I increase my accomplishments of yesterday and this I will do, beginning today.
但是。我的技藝,我的頭腦,我的心靈,我的身體,若不善加利用,都將隨著時間的流逝而遲鈍,腐朽,甚至死亡。我的潛力無窮無盡,腦力、體能稍加開發,就能超過以往的任何成就。從今天開始。我就要開發潛力。
Nevermore will I be satisfied with yesterday's accomplishments nor will I indulge, anymore, in self-praise for deeds which in reality are too small to even acknowledge. I can accomplish far more than I have, and I will, for why should the miracle which produced me end with my birth? Why can I not extend that miracle to my deeds of today?
我不再因昨日的成績沾沾自喜,不再為微不足道的成績目吹自擂。我能做的比已經完成的更好。我的出生並非最後一樣奇蹟,為什麼自己不能再創奇蹟呢?
I am nature's greatest miracle.
我是自然界最偉大的奇蹟。
I am not on this earth by chance. I am here for a purpose and that purpose is to grow into a mountain, not to shrink to a grain of sand. Henceforth will I apply all my efforts to become the highest mountain of all and I will strain my potential until it cries for mercy.
我不是隨意來到這個世上的。我生來應為高山。而非草芥。從今往後,我要竭盡全力成為群峰之巔。將我的潛能發揮到最大限度。
I will increase my knowledge of mankind, myself, and the goods I sell, thus my sales will multiply. I will practice, and improve, and polish the words I utter to sell my goods, for this is the foundation on which I will build my career and never will I forget that many have attained great wealth and success with only one sales talk, delivered with excellence. Also will I seek constantly to improve my manners and graces, for they are the sugar to which all are attracted.
我要吸取前人的經驗,了解自己以及手中的貨物,這樣才能成倍地增加銷量。我要字斟句酌,反覆推敲推銷時用的語言。因為這是成就事業的關鍵。我絕不忘記,許多成功的商人,其實只有一套說詞。卻能使他們無往不利。我也要不斷改進自己的儀態和風度,因為這是吸引別人的美德。
I am nature's greatest miracle.
我是自然界最偉大的奇蹟。
I will concentrate my energy on the challenge of the moment and my actions will help me forget all else. The problems of my home will be left in my home. I will think naught of my family when I am in the market place for this will cloud my thoughts. So too will the problems of the market place be left in the market place and I will think naught of my profession when I am in my home for this will dampen my love.
