詹姆斯·艾伦：思考的人·摘录 36
詹姆斯·艾伦《思考的人》· As a Man Thinketh · 健康
A man should conceive of a legitimate purpose in his heart, and set out to accomplish it. He should make this purpose the centralizing point of his thoughts. It may take the form of a spiritual ideal, or it may be a worldly object, according to his nature at the time being; but whichever it is, he should steadily focus his thought-forces upon the object, which he has set before him. He should make this purpose his supreme duty, and should devote himself to its attainment, not allowing his thoughts to wander away into ephemeral fancies, longings, and imaginings. This is the royal road to self-control and true concentration of thought. Even if he fails again and again to accomplish his purpose (as he necessarily must until weakness is overcome), the _strength of character gained_ will be the measure of _his true_ success, and this will form a new starting-point for future power and triumph.

白话
人应当在自己心里构想一个正当的目标，然后着手去实现它。他应该把这个目标当作思想的中心点。这个目标可以是一种精神理想，也可以是一个世俗的目的，取决于他当时的本性；但无论是什么，他都应该稳定地把思想力量集中在自己设定的目标上。他应该把这个目标当作自己最高的责任，全身心投入去达成它，不让思想游荡到短暂的幻想、渴望和想象中去。这是通往自我控制和真正思想集中的康庄大道。即使他一次又一次未能实现目标（在弱点被克服之前，他必然会失败），所获得的性格力量也将衡量他真正的成功，并成为未来力量和胜利的新起点。
