An editor for a success magazine wanted to know my views on success. Here is what I wrote back:
一個報道成功事跡的雜志編輯，想知道我對成功的看法。以下是我所回復(fù)的：
Most people think success is a goal. I do not. I see success as a process. Most people define success only in terms of money. I do not. I think success is a combination of things -- health, happiness, material prosperity, love of family and friends, wisdom, influence, and fulfillment.
Here is how I know someone is successful -- If you are able to give from your abundance then you are successful. If you are able to donate money, spread happiness, inspire health, propagate love, share knowledge, motivate people, etc. then you are successful.
這里所說是我如何知道某人的成功--如果你能將你所有的給予，你就是成功了。如果你都能捐錢、傳播快樂、提倡健康、傳播愛、分享知識、激勵人們等等，那么你就是成功了。
Most people think you need to work hard to achieve success. I do not think that is true. I believe the opposite is true. I believe you have to learn how to avoid work to be successful. I define work this way -- if you'd rather be doing something else, then you are working.
多數(shù)人認(rèn)為需要努力工作才成功。我不認(rèn)為這是對的。我相信的情況是相反的。我希望您呢個學(xué)會如何避免工作而獲得成功。這是我所定義的方式--相比與工作，你最好做其他事情。
You avoid work by loving what you do. Loving what you do is infinitely more powerful in achieving success than all the hard work in the world. If you love what you do, Nature will show you her secrets. When Nature reveals her secrets to you, you have the golden key to being successful. Those secrets are the formulas for working less yet accomplishing more. For example, you can strain your muscles working hard to move a big rock or you can use one of Nature's secrets and use a lever. When you use a lever you work much less but you accomplish much more.
People who say they work hard are really saying they are not smart enough or creative enough or lucky enough to have found an easier, more effective way to accomplish what they want. Hard work is not the answer. Finding an easier, more effective solution is the answer. To find the easier solution, you need to be alert for a lazier way. People who work hard don't have the time or the energy or inclination to find that easier way.
人們說他們努力工作實際上是在說他們不夠聰明、不夠創(chuàng)意、不夠幸運地找到更輕松、更有效的法方來完成他們所想要的。艱苦的工作不是答案。找到一個簡單有效的方法才是答案。尋找簡單的方法，你需要警惕懶惰的方法。辛勤工作的人沒有時間、精力、意向?qū)で蠛啽愕姆椒ā?b style="BACKGROUND: url(http://image55.360doc.com/DownloadImg/2012/11/1115/28150940_4.png) no-repeat left top" class="label bg2" jquery1352619094140="24">
