Know Your Enemy
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.
请想一分钟!谁是你的敌手?战争中必须知道在与谁决战。人生中你是否认识到你真正的敌人是你的心灵呢?没有东西比你对自己的错误认识更能击败和毁灭自己了。如果你认为自己不够聪慧,人也懒散,那你就会终生一事无成,那正是你想象的结果。
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.
因为我们会为我们想象中的自己,这就是为什么《圣经》说:"一个人怎样看待自己,其为人就是怎样。"因此朋友,你消沉的自信心将阻止你,击垮你。你其实具有许多能力,但如果自己不相信它们,那你就永远也不会去发挥它们,惧怕失败,担心别人的排斥,会阻止你前进。
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...
你知道吗?动物园小象,被一条结实的链子拴在一根坚固的柱子上,起初,小象奋力拉拽,想摆脱锁链的束缚,但最终它放弃了,不再拉拽,此后,仅需一根细绳就可以约束这个庞然大物。因为大在象余生都以为自己被束缚着,也无力挣脱那根细绳。朋友,你瞧我们都有可能像那头小象,因为如果你让自己相信在生活中不能进取了,那么你就真的会原地踏步。请想一分钟......
