《论毅力》

《论毅力》
梁启超


原文:

天下古今成败之林,若是其莽然不一途也。

要其何以成,何以败? 曰:有毅力者成,反是者败
盖人生历程,大抵逆境居十六七,顺境亦居十三四,而逆境又常相间以迭乘。

无论事之大小,必有数次乃至十数次之阻力,其阻力虽或大或小,而要之必无可逃避者也。其在志力薄弱之士,始固曰吾欲云云,其意以为天下事固易易也,及骤尝焉而阻力猝来,颓然丧矣;其次弱者,乘一时之意气,透过此第一关,遇再挫而退;稍强者,遇三四挫而退;更稍强者,遇五六挫而退;其事愈大者,其遇挫愈多;其不退也愈难,非至强之人,未有能善于其终者也。

夫苟其挫而不退矣,则小逆之后,必有小顺。大逆之后,必有大顺。

盘根错节之既经,而随有应刃而解之一日。旁观者徒艳羡其功之成,以为是殆幸运儿,而天有以宠彼也,又以为我蹇于遭逢,故所就不彼若也。庸讵知所谓蹇焉、幸焉者,皆彼与我之相同,而其能征服此蹇焉,利用此幸焉与否,即彼成我败所由判也。

更譬诸操舟,如以兼旬之期,行千里之地者,其间风潮之或顺或逆,常相参伍。分彼以坚苦忍耐之力,冒其逆而突过之,而后得从容以进度其顺。我则或一日而返焉,或二三日而返焉,或五六日而返焉,故彼岸终不可达也。

孔子曰:"譬如为山,未成一篑,止,吾止也;譬如平地,虽复一篑,进,吾往也"
孟子曰:"有为者,譬若掘井,掘井九仞,而不及泉,犹为弃井也"


成败之数,视此而已。



白话文:

天下古往今来种种成败的人和事,它们所经历的道路是如此的纷繁不同。

概括地推究:它们为什么成功,又为什么失败呢?
回答是:有毅力的就成功,反之则失败。人生的历程,大体逆境占了十分之六七,顺境也占了十分之三四, 而顺逆这两种境遇又常常是相互交替着轮流出现。无论事情是大是小,必然会遇到几次乃至十几次的阻力,这种阻力虽然有的大有的小, 但总之必定是不可避免的。

那些在意志和能力方面薄弱的人,开始的时候一定会说我想要如何如何,我要如何如何,他心里认为天下事本来就是很简单容易的,等到马上尝试,阻力突然来临,就颓然丧失了信心。那些意志能力比较弱的人,凭着一时的意气,通过了这第一关,遇到第二次挫折就退缩了; 意志能力稍强的人,遇到三四次挫折才退缩;又坚强些的人,遇到五六次挫折才退缩。他所做的事情越大,他遇到的挫折就越多,他不退缩也就越难。不是极其坚强的人,就没有能够善于达到它的终点的。

如果遇到挫折而不退缩,那么小的逆境之后,必定有小的顺境; 大的逆境之后,必定会有大的顺境。

经过了盘根错节的复杂情况以后,尔后随之才会有迎刃而解的一天。旁观者只是非常羡慕别人的成功,认为这个人大概是个幸运儿,而老天总是因为某种缘故宠爱他;又认为我遭遇不顾利,所以成就也比不上他。这种人哪里知道所谓的“不顺”啊、“幸运”啊,对于他和我都是相同的,而是否能征服这些“不顺”,同时又利用这些“幸运”,正是他成我败的区别所在。

再用驾船来做个比方,如果用二十天的时间,来走一千里的路程,这期间风向潮流有时顺有时逆,常常交互错杂。他凭着艰苦忍耐的力量,迎着那逆风逆流冲了过去,然后能从容地前进,去度过顺风顺水的一段。但是我或者一天就退回来了,或者两三天就回来了,或者五六天就回来了,所以彼岸就始终不可能到达。

孔子说: “比如堆土成山,只差一筐土了,如果停了下来, 这是我自己停了下来的。又比如平整土地,即使刚倒下一筐土,只要前进,我也在往前进行。”
孟子也说:“要有作为,就譬如掏井,掏到七八丈深,还不见泉水,
仍然还是一个废井。”

成败的规律,看看这两段话也就知道了。

KARAOKE PARTY

I'VE DISCOVERED YET ANOTHER FREE KARAOKE WEBSITE.


+It's called Karaoke Party. Plug in your mic, choose a song, and SING. There's even a scoring system. The game works a bit like the Singer role in Guitar Hero, where points are scored according to the accuracy of the singer's pitching and rhythm. It's terribly addictive and fun.
+Take a look.

+That's us singing Britney's "Break The Ice". LOL. Tested and proven.

+Thing is, they only have English songs.

It's really really inspiring.

idea

AN IDEA THAT MIGHT WORK

+An Idea that might work: Everyone of us has feelings inside us that we can't express, be it happiness, frustration, sadness, or anxiety. Why not let me help you express it in a song? All you need to do is to email me your feelings or stories, and I will custom make you a song---just for you. So, if you have any unexpressable feelings, email them to me now at mackazoid@hotmail.com. Thanks guys.

+And yes, that's 发如雪sung by BlackGlamour by the side.
