釋放你最大的潛能 Become All You Can Be
佚名/Anonymous
To accomplish great things, you must dream great dreams. But dreaming alone isn't enough, you must believe in your dreams and you must act. Without action, even the grandest dreams will evaporate into the ether when left unnurtured in the misty realms of the mind.
Do you dare to be a dreamer? Prepare to go it alone. Dreamers build bridges between the known and the unknown. As you dance your dreams into reality, those who can't hear the music may think you a fool. Pay no heed to those who would kill your dreams; small minds always do that. Great minds will encourage you that you can become great too.
Afraid you haven't got what it takes? Then get it! Feed your mind the mental food it hungers for.
There was a dog breeder who had two dogs that raced every weekend. He took bets and always won. One week he'd bet on his black dog, and the black dog would win. The next week he'd bet on the white dog, and folks seeing the black dog win the week before would bet, but this time the white dog would win. Why? One week he'd feed the dog he wanted to win a grand diet, and just give the other dog enough to survive. The dog that was well fed was stronger and would always win the race.
Your mind is the same way: it grows stronger or weaker with what you feed it. The diet of the mind is what gives you the confidence, courage, knowledge, and the direction you need to succeed in your dreams, or keep you from them. You can build your mind up or tear it down. The choice is yours and you make it every day.
Have you been waiting for the right time to reach for your dreams? Have you been waiting for the right circumstances to reach for your dreams? Have you been waiting for the right opportunity to reach for dreams? Ay, you're patient, aren't you? You could be waiting forever, you know. Time is an illusion. Circumstances are what you make them. Opportunity is a whisper that waits for your invitation; it doesn't burst in and shout its arrival.
Now is the right time. Circumstances change when you take action. Opportunity is yours for the making. So what are you really waiting for?
Here's how you'll know if you've become all you can be: if you're alive, you haven't.
想贏得偉大的事業，你一定要有偉大的夢想。然而，光有夢想是行不通的，你一定要相信自己的夢想能夠實現，更為重要的是你要為之付諸實踐。沒有行動，即使最宏偉的夢想也會消失得無影無蹤，在頭腦的迷霧中無依無靠。
你有成為夢想者的勇氣嗎？做好獨自實現夢想的準備吧。夢想者在已知和未知之間架設橋梁。當你懷揣著夢想在現實中翩翩起舞時，那些聽不見音樂的人可能會認為你是個傻瓜。不要在乎那些會扼殺你夢想的人。渺小的人一直扼殺夢想；偉大的人會激勵你，你也可以變得偉大。
是否擔心沒有實現夢想的條件？那就去創造條件！攝取你頭腦中所期盼的精神食糧。
有一個人養了兩隻狗。每到周末他都會讓兩隻狗進行比賽，他把比賽結果當做賭注，並且每次都贏。這個星期他在黑狗身上下注，黑狗就會贏。下個星期他在白狗身上下注，看到黑狗上周贏了的人都會在黑狗身上下注，但這次白狗會贏。為什麽？每周他想讓哪隻狗贏，就會給那隻狗特別豐盛的食物，而隻給另一隻狗勉強度日的食物。吃得好的狗比另一隻狗身體強壯，所以總是會贏。
你的意誌也是一樣：意誌的堅定或薄弱在於你給它的食物。精神食糧可以給予你成功實現夢想所需的自信、勇氣、知識和方向，或者讓你無法得到它們。你可以使自己意誌堅定，也可以使自己意誌薄弱，選擇權在你自己手中，而且這是你每天都要做的選擇。
你是否一直在等待實現夢想的恰當時機？是否在等待實現夢想的優異環境？或是在等待實現夢想的合適機會？哎，你太有耐心了，不是嗎？要知道，你可能會等一輩子。時間隻是一種幻覺；環境是你創造的；機會是等待你邀請的暗示，它不會突然降臨並大聲宣布自己的到來。
現在就是恰當的時間，當你采取行動，環境就會改變；機會要由你來創造。那麽你還在等什麽？
