马可·奥勒留:沉思录·摘录 16

马可·奥勒留《沉思录》· Meditations · 健康 · 哲学 · 领导

I. That inward mistress part of man if it be in its own true natural temper, is towards all worldly chances and events ever so disposed and affected, that it will easily turn and apply itself to that which may be, and is within its own power to compass, when that cannot be which at first it intended. For it never doth absolutely addict and apply itself to any one object, but whatsoever it is that it doth now intend and prosecute, it doth prosecute it with exception and reservation; so that whatsoever it is that falls out contrary to its first intentions, even that afterwards it makes its proper object. Even as the fire when it prevails upon those things that are in his way; by which things indeed a little fire would have been quenched, but a great fire doth soon turn to its own nature, and so consume whatsoever comes in his way: yea by those very things it is made greater and greater.

白话

人内在的主宰部分,如果保持其真正的自然状态,面对一切世事变迁,都会这样应对:当最初意图无法实现时,它能轻易转向并适应可能发生且在自己能力范围内的事。因为它从不绝对地执着于某一个目标,无论现在追求什么,都带着保留条件;所以,任何与最初意图相反的结果,它后来都能将其变成自己的目标。就像火遇到挡路的东西:小火会被扑灭,大火却很快将其转化为自身,烧掉一切挡路之物;甚至正是这些东西让火越烧越旺。

当计划受阻时,你能否像大火一样,把障碍转化为前进的燃料?
