我自己的旅程
My Own Journey
当我还在乔治城大学就读法律系时,就已接受安德鲁·卡内基委托出版一本关于成功哲学的书。除了从卡内基那儿得到一些旅费补助之外,其他一切费用都由我自行负责。
I accepted Andrew Carnegies mission to organize and publish the principles of success when I was a law student at Georgetown University。Other than reimbursement for some traveling expenses; I got no pensation from Carnegis for me efforts。
我对这份工作的奉献,使自己承受了不少的负担,我必须 赚钱养家,而且许多亲戚都嘲笑我。但尽管有这些阻力,我还 是为这项任务工作了20年,在此期间我拜访过知名企业的总 裁、发明家、创始人以及著名的慈善家,由于这些人通常都不 知道他们的成功原则(因为他们只是去做而已),所以我必须 花许多时间来观察他们,并确定我原先假设能发挥功效的力 量,是否真的在发挥功效。除了赚取生活费之外,我还必须为 这些人工作。
My dedication to my task placed strains on my life。 I had a family to support;and many of my relatives ridiculed me for my goal。 In spite of this opposition ; I worked for twenty years;interviewing presidents; inventors; founders of great panies; and famous philanthropists。 Because these people were often unaware of the principles they employed…they just did it…it tool a great deal of time for me to observe them and determine whether the forces I supposed for myself; I had a job to do for others。
处在亲戚们的嘲笑和辛苦工作之间,有时真的很难保持 积极心态和不屈不挠的精神。有时当个人待在无聊的旅馆房 间里时,甚至会觉得我家人的想法才是正确的。支持我向前 迈进的力量,使我确信,我不但能完成这本著作,而且当我完 成它时会为自己的成功感到骄傲。
Believe me ; there were times when; between the needling of my relatives and the hardships I endured; it was not easy of maintain a positive mental attitude and persevere。 Sometimes; in barren hotel rooms; I almost believed my family was right。 The thing that kept me going was my conviction that one day I would not only successfully plete my work but also be proud of myself when it was finished。
有时候,当心中出现希望的火苗时,我必须运用我手边所 能运用的资源把它再煽大一点以免熄灭。而使我坚持信念和 理想,并且帮助我度过难关的就是我从无穷智慧所获得的信。
Sometimes;when the flames of hope dwindled to a flicker; I had to fan them with everything I possessed to keep them from going out。It was my faith in Infinite Intelligence that that tided me over these rough spots and saw me through。
20年来不断地多付出,并且忍受工作的艰辛,这需要付出多大代价?答案当然是肯定的。
Did it pay to go the extra mile for twenty years and endure all those hardships?The answer it obvious。
付出超过所得带来的益处
The Benefits of Doing More than You Are Paid For
由于想要向前迈进必须付出辛苦的代价,所以,此一过程有助于你察觉它所带来的各种好处。
Since going the extra mile can involve hardship;it will help you to be conscious of all the different benefits it will bring。
报酬增加律
The Law of Increasing Returns
你所付出的额外服务会为你带来更多的回报。想想看种植小麦的农夫吧!如果种植一株小麦只能收成一粒麦子,那 根本就是在浪费时间。但实际上从一株小麦上可收成许许多多的麦子。尽管有些小麦不会发芽,但无论农夫面临什么样 的困难,他的收成必定多出他所种植的好几倍。
The quantity and quality of the extra service you render will e back to you greatly multiplied。 Consider the farmer who plants a crop of wheat。 If he harvested only one grain of wheat for each grain he planted;hed be wasting his time。 Instead every successful grain produces a stalk and a sheaf containing many more grains。 Of course;a few dont sprout; but whatever problems a farmer may face; getting back many times more wheat grains then he or she planted isnt one of them。
这种情形同样也适用于你所提供的各种服务方面,如果 你付出价值100元的服务,则你不但能回收这100元,而且可 能会回收好几倍。而到底能回收多少,就必须看你是否抱持 着正确的心态而定了。 如果你是以心不甘情不愿的心态提供服务,那你可能得 不到任何回报,如果你只是从为自己谋取利益的角度提供服 务时则可能连你希望得到的利益也得不到。
And so it is with everything you do in the service you render。 If you render service worth a hundred dollars; chances are you will get back not only that one hundred dollar but perhaps ten times that…provided you have done so with the right mental attitude。If you render extra service unwillingly or resentfully;you will probably get nothing back。 Its as if the farmer had sown his wheat on the interstate road instead of the fertile field。 And if you render your service only with a sharp eye out for you own benefit; you will get nothing except perhaps a poke in that eye。
