展现信心的力量
Demonstrating the Power of Your Faith
将信心运用到实际行动的第二法门,就是积极心态。以下将说明培养信心和积极心态的步骤。
The key to putting your faith into action is to have a positive mental attitude .Here are steps to build your faith and your PMA
步骤1
Step one
遵照第一章的指示先建立一明确目标,并且朝着目标前 进,确定你要的是什么,并且努力去得到它。但应确定你所希 望的目标是值得你努力而且你可能达成的目标。别小看自己 的能力.但也别定出一个遥不可及的目标。
Adopt a definite major purpose ,and begin to attain it.Follow the instructions in the first chapter.Know what you want,and get busy creating it.Be sure that the object of yours desire is something worhy,something you can obtain.Never sell yourself short,but do not set a task for yourself which is utterly ridiculous.
步骤2
Step two
早晚祈祷你所订目标的实现,以坚定你对目标的信念。想想看,当你达到目标后的欢愉感觉。当你达到一个目标之 后,再设定一个新目标。但切勿因为达到目标就感到自满。
Affirm the object of your desire through prayer,morning and night.Inspire your imagination to see yourself already in possession of it.When you attain one goal,set a new one.Do not let complacency set in.
比尔·盖茨创设了供应世界70%电脑操作系统软体的微软公司。在他35岁之后,他的公司就已发展成比麦当劳、迪 斯尼和CBS还要大的企业。但他从此就停止进步了吗?
Bill Gates founded Microsoft,the software company that supplies the operating systems for more than 70 percent of the computer in the world. By the time he was thirty-five,his company was bigger than McDonalds, Disney,and CBS.Did he stop there?
不,他仍然不断地想为自己和公司扮演什么新的角色。 他在37岁时,开始提供一种可以使办公室内的所有机器都能 连线作业的系统:电话、传真机、电脑全都能一起工作。他成 功地说服AT&T和IBM等大企业加入他的行列,共同开发并 且生产此一重要系统。 你将会达成你为自己设定的目标,每天都要运用一切方 法培养你对未来的远见。
No,he continued to dream of new roles for himself and his corporation.By the time he was thirty seven,he ha embarked on a new path to provide systems to link every machine in an office:telephone,as machines,computers,all working together seamlessly.And he managed to bind such giants as AT&T and IBM to his vision, enlisting them in a consortium to develop and deliver that magnificent system.You will achieve precisely the success you can envision for yourself.Cultiveate that vision every day,in every way you can.
步骤3
Step 3
尽可能地将第二章所列的10项基本行为动机,和你的明 确目标联系起来,给你自己下一道强烈性的命令,去做你想要 做的事,并尽可能地每天在脑海里回想一次这道命令。
Associate as possible of the ten basic human motives mentioned on page 18 with your definite major purpose.Give yourself a compelling motive for doing what you want to do.Then renew that motive by bringing it up in your mind as often as possible on a daily basis.
如果你的命令中包括一栋漂亮的房屋,一辆豪华的汽车 和一个高品质衣橱,那就常常想着这些目标吧?你可以模仿 驾着那辆华贵汽车的动作,或想像那栋房子的美丽,别吝惜用你的想像力来强化你的欲望。
If your motives include a fine home,a nice car,and a good wardrobe,visualize those thing around you.Go through the motions of driving that car or wandering about that house.Do not hesitate ho use your imagination to fuel your burning desire.
步骤4
Step 4
写下你的明确目标会为你带来的种种好处,并时时在脑 海中想着这些好处,这可使你借着自我启发的力量创造出成 功意识。而成功意识可在事情进行得不太顺利时,坚定你达 到目标的决心。
Write out a list of all the advantages of your definite major purpose,and call them into your mind as often as you can.This will make you success-conscious by the power of sef-suggestion.It will steady your resolve when things do not appear to be going well.
如果你被一件难以达成的事情困住时,则可以想一想一 旦你得到解脱之后,想要做些什么事,并且对此一期待报以微笑。
If youre caught in an impossible job,you can keep yourself smiling by thinking of what youll be doing once youre free.
步骤5
Step 5
和那些支持你和你的明确目标的人交往,并接受他们的 鼓励,这些人可能是你的同事、朋友或家人
Associate with people who are in sympathy with you and major purpose;get their encouragement. They can be colleagues,friends,or family.
一位房地产经纪人带着沮丧的神情回到家里。当她不顾 心地叹气时,她的丈夫拿出他的“百万富翁俱乐部”证书以及 一张买主的名单问道:“你看看这些是什么?是谁卖掉这些房子的?是谁卖掉 那栋坐落在湖边费时2年还卖不掉的房子?是谁看中那栋梦 想中的房子的?最近的一个售屋案子不是最好的案子吗?”
One realtor I know occasionally comes home discouraged,but she has an agreement with her husband that covers circumstance. The instant she lets go a defeatist sigh,he pulls out her certificate from he Million Dollar Club and a list of previous sales shes made."Who name do you see here? Who sold all those houses? Who sold that place down by the lake that had been on the market two years? Who saw what a dream house it could be? Isnt this latest offering just as good?"
她听了丈夫的鼓励之后再度打起精神奔向战场,但是她 的丈夫呢?别认为那些鼓励的话不会鼓舞她的丈夫,同样也 别认为他在说完那些鼓励的话之后,在自己的工作方面不会 有所进步,我们每个人都需要别人的鼓励,而鼓励他人的同 时,也会为自己带来同样的好处。
Thats all it takes, and shes out the door or on the phone again. And her husband? Dont think that he isnt inspired by his wifes determination. That his own work isnt better after hes seen what a little encouragement can do. We all need people to give us a boost, and we all benefit from doing the same for others.
步骤6
别在过完一天之后,才发现当天的所作所为,对明确目标 没有一点明显的贡献。虽然房地产经纪人无法每天都卖出一 栋房子,但是他们每天都会带着客户去看房子,会谈论他 (它),回顾潜在客户名单,演练销售方法,想像他们将成为一 个家庭,介绍那么美丽的房子。虽然这些并非实际的销售行 为,但他们都是实际销售行为的一部分。
Dont let a day pass without making at least on definite move toward attaining your major purpose.Keep up day,but you can be sure that shes showing it,that shes talking it up,that shes showing it,that shes talking it up,that shes reviewing her list of clients,that shes walking through it by herself, imagining what a wonderful home it will make for family. Each of these steps may not be the actual sale,but theyre as much as part of it as the actual closing.
步骤7
选择一位富裕、自力更生和成功的人作为“楷模”,并时时 想到你不但要迎头赶上,而且还要超越他。别告诉别人你所 选择的楷模,因为选择楷模的目的不在于进行公开的竞争,而 在于借着比自己强的人,来确立你要走的方向。
Choose a "pacesetter." Pick someone prosperous,self-reliant, and successful ,and make up your mind not only to catch up with that person but to pass him or her by.Donts tell anyone this I your gol.The point is not to win a public contest but to get where you want to go.
步骤8
在你的四周放置书籍、图片、座右铭能强化成就和自力更 生意义的东西,并且随时变更放置位置。这些可使人警惕反 省的东西,能帮助你有机会从不同的角度观看这些东西,并和 其他不同的东西发生联系。
Surround yourself with books,pictures,mottoes,and other suggestive devices.Pick things that symbolize and reinforce achievement and self-reliance.Work constantly to add to your collection, to move things to new places,where you can see them in a different light and in association with different things.
上述那位房地产经纪人,将她的“百万富翁俱乐部”证书 的影本框起来,放在她的书桌上。有一天她清除证书上面的 灰尘,清完灰尘后随手放在一份报纸上。当她准备再去拿证 书时,发现报纸上有篇报道一位最近被雇用的足球教练的新闻。“他总得要有个可以住的地方吧!”她心想。你猜猜看她 把她最近想要卖的一栋房子卖给谁了?
My realtor friend kept a framed copy of her Million Dollar Club certificate over her desk. One day she took it down to dust and set it on top of a newspaper. When she picked it up again, she saw beneath it an article about the new football coach who had been hired at the university. He would need a place to live!Guess who bought that house shed been struggling to sell?
当你营造出具有建设性的气氛时,可将你所听到和读到 的鼓励字句记在笔记本上,如果你能在路上或开会时快速地 书写数语,则将会为你带来长久的助力。
As you build an atmosphere of support,keep a notebook handy to jot down the things you hear and read that inspire you.When youre on the road or in a meeting.your fast scratchiness can give you lasting support.
步骤9
别因为遇到了反对意见就想要逃避,而应运用你所有的资源就地和反对者战斗。
Never run away from disagreeable circumstances.Fight them,with all your resources,right where you stand and without a moments delay.
但这并不是说要对那些向你说“不”的人挥动拳头,而是 说不要接受那些反对意见,而要尽一切努力改变反对者的心意,或者你应该反躬自省,看看你有什么做得不对的地方并加 以改进,有的时候逆境反而是一种检验的机会,它可提供使自 己更进步的方法
This doesnt mean taking a swing at the fellow who tells you no.It does mean not accepting that refusal and bringing every faculty you have to bear on changing that persons mind. Or you may have to take a hard look at yourself,find the error you made, and resolve then and there to correct it. Sometimes adverse circumstances are testing devices,providing means by which you may be promoted from a given task to a greater on.
记住,你之所以成为一个独立的人,并且处于一定的处境,乃因为你的心中坚持着某种观念和想法。如果你迟迟不坑运用这些观念思想的话,那就等于给自己带来更多的限制 和挫折。
Remember,you are what you are and where you are because of the dominating thoughts in your mind. Procrastination in dealing with these thoughts only sentences you to further limitation and frustration.
步骤10
为完成任何有价值的事情,都须付出一定的代价,任何有价值的事情也值得去做。自力更生的代价就是当一个人在运 用信心时,必须时时保持戒慎的态度。
Recognize that anything worth having has a definite price tag.Anything worth having is worth working for. The price of self-reliance is eternal vigilance in applying your faith.
关上通往恐惧的门之后,你会很快地看到通往信心的大 门,增加和运用信心是一段费时而且需要奉献的历程,你在这 方面的努力是无止尽的,因为你所能运用的力量是无限的,因 努力而获得的回报也是无尽的。
Close the door of fear behind you, and you will quickly see the door of faith open before you. Increasing and applying your faith are a process that takes time and dedication.You will never be finished with this task because the power you have at your disposal is infinite. So are rewards.
