Be a Fighter
A young friend of mine asked me in a letter, "What kind of man should I be?" My answer was, "Be a fighter."
Another friend of mine inquired, "How should I live my life?" Again my answer was, "Be a fighter."
The author of In Praise of the Fighter says:
Riding on the ceaseless rushing torrent of life, I should pursue and overtake it so as to create an even greater and deeper torrent of my own.
If I were a lamp, it would be my duty to light up thick darkness. If I were the sea tide, I would marshal rolling waves to cleanse the beach of all accumulated filth.
This quotation reflects aptly the state of mind of a lighter.
Fighters are badly needed in our time. But such fighters do not necessarily go to the battle- field gun in hand. Their weapons are not necessarily bullets. Their weapons may be knowledge, faith and strong will. They can bring the enemy sure death without drawing his blood.
A fighter is always in pursuit of light. Instead of basking in the sunshine under a clear sky, he holds a burning torch in the darkness of night to illuminate people's way so that they can continue their journey till they see the dawn of a new day. It is the task of a fighter to dispel darkness. Instead of shirking darkness, he braves it and fights the hidden demons and monsters therein. He is determined to wipe them out and win light. He knows no compromise. He will keep on fighting until he wins light.
A fighter is perennially young. He is never irresolute or inactive. He plunges deep into teeming crowds in search of such vermin as flies and venomous mosquitoes. He will fight them relentlessly and refuse to coexist with them under the same sky. To him, life means nothing but continuous fighting. He either survives by winning light, or perishes with his body covered all over with cuts and bruises. In the course of the struggle, it is the "future" that serves as the beacon light to him; the "future" gives people hope and inspiration. He will never lose his youthful vigour.
A fighter will never lose heart or despair. He will pile up broken pieces of brick and stone to rebuild a nine-story pagoda on the ruins of failure. No blows will ever break his will. He will never close his eyes until he has breathed his last.
A fighter is always fearless. His steps are firm. Once he has settled on an objective, he will press right ahead. He is never afraid of being tripped by a stumbling block. No obstacles will ever make him change his mind. His eyes will never be hoodwinked by false appearances. His actions are guided by faith. He can endure any hardships or sufferings while striving to attain his chosen objective. He will never abandon work as long as he is alive.
This is the kind of fighter we now need. He is not necessarily posse(www.NIUBB.nEt]ssed of superhuman capability. He is just an ordinary person. Anyone can be a fighter so long as he has the determination. Hence a few words of mine about "being a fighter" to encourage those young people who wander about in a depressed state, not knowing which way to go.
參考譯文:
做一名進(jìn)攻型戰(zhàn)士
1個年輕的朋友寫信問我:“應(yīng)該做1個什么樣的人?“我回答他:“做1個戰(zhàn)士。”
另1個朋友問我:“怎樣對付生活了,我仍舊答道:“做1個戰(zhàn)士。”
《戰(zhàn)士頌》的作者曾經(jīng)寫過這樣的話:
“我激蕩在這綿綿不息、滂沱四方的生命洪流中,我就應(yīng)該追逐這洪流,而且追過它,自己去造更廣、更深的洪流。”
“我如果是一盞燈,這燈的用處便是照徹那多量的黑暗。(勵志歌曲)我如果是海潮,便要鼓起波濤去洗滌海邊一切陳腐的積物。”
這一段話很恰當(dāng)?shù)貙懗隽藨?zhàn)士的心情。
在這個時代,戰(zhàn)士是最需要的。但是這樣的戰(zhàn)士并不一定要持槍上戰(zhàn)場。他的武器也下一定是槍彈。他的武器還可以是知識、信仰和堅強(qiáng)的意志。他并不一定要流仇敵的血,卻能更有把握地致敵人的死命,戰(zhàn)士是永遠(yuǎn)追求光明的。他并不躺在晴空下享受陽光,在晴夜里燃起火炬,給人們照亮道路,使他們走向黎明。驅(qū)散黑暗,這是戰(zhàn)士的任務(wù)。他不躲避黑暗,卻要面對黑暗,跟躲藏在陰影里的魑魅、魍魎搏斗。他要消滅它們而取得光明。戰(zhàn)士是不知道妥協(xié)的。他得不到光明便不會停止戰(zhàn)斗。
戰(zhàn)士永遠(yuǎn)是年輕的。他不猶豫,不休息。他深入人叢中,找尋蒼蠅、毒蚊等等危害人類的東西。他不斷地攻擊它們,不肯與它們共同生存在1個天空下面,對于戰(zhàn)士,生活就是不停的戰(zhàn)斗,他不是取得光明而牛存,便是帶著滿身傷痕而死去。在戰(zhàn)斗中力量只有增長,信仰只有加強(qiáng),在戰(zhàn)斗中給戰(zhàn)士指路的是“未來”,“未來”給人以希望和鼓舞。戰(zhàn)士永遠(yuǎn)不會失去青春的活力。
戰(zhàn)士是不知道灰心與絕望的。他甚至在失敗的廢墟上,還要堆起破碎的磚石重建九級寶塔。任何打擊都不能擊破戰(zhàn)士的意志。只有在死的時候他才閉上眼睛。

Just for today I will try to live through this day only and not tackle my whole life problem at once. I can do something for twelve hours that would appall me if I had to keep it up for a lifetime.
Just for today I will be happy. This assumes to be true what Abraham Lincoln said,that “Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be.”
Just for today I will adjust myself to what is, and not try to adjust everything to my own desires. I will take my “luck” as it comes.
Just for today I will try to strengthen my mind. I will study. I will learn something useful. I will not be a mental loafer. I will read something that requires effort, thought and concentration.
Just for today I will exercise my soul in three ways. I will do somebody a good turn and not get found out: If anybody knows of it, it will not count. I will do at least two things I don't want to do—just for exercise. I will not show anyone that my feelings are hurt: they may be hurt, but today I will not show it.
Just for today I will be agreeable. I will look as well as I can, dress becomingly, talk low, act courteously, criticize not one bit,and try not to improve or regulate anybody but myself.
Just for today I will have a program, I may not follow it exactly, but I will have it. I will save myself from two pests: hurry and indecision.
Just for today I will have a quiet half hour all by myself and relax. During this half hour, sometime, I will try to get a better perspective of my life.
Just for today I will be unafraid. Especially I will not be afraid to enjoy what is beautiful,and to believe that as I give to the world, so the world will give to me.

We all see and hear about extraordinary people around us and wonder why can’t we be more like them? Sometimes we chuck that notion as absurd and unachievable. I would say not so fast. It’s not the big things that make someone extraordinary. It’s the small things.
我們都看到或聽說過身邊那些優(yōu)秀的人,并在想為什么自己不能和他們一樣?有時我們覺得這種想法很荒謬,根本無法實現(xiàn)。我覺得不一定。人并不是因為大事而優(yōu)秀,而是因為小事才變得卓越。
Things that over a period of time have the power to radically change your life. They become extraordinary by making a difference in someone's life. Here are some of the things extraordinary people do every day:
發(fā)生在一段時間內(nèi)的事情可以從根本上改變你的生活。優(yōu)秀的人通過讓他人的生活有所不同而變得卓越。下面的幾件事是非凡的人每天都會做的。
1. They are open to criticism
他們樂于接受批評
Just because you’re the boss, doesn’t mean you are right every time. It doesn’t mean you have the best ideas. Learn to back up your ideas or decisions with reason. Use logic to explain things, not authority. By doing this your decisions might invite criticism, but you will also get an opportunity to improve.
你是老板,但這不表示你每次都對,不表示你的想法最好。學(xué)著用理性來支持你的想法或決定。運(yùn)用邏輯來解
釋事情 ,而不是運(yùn)用權(quán)威。這樣的話你的決策可能會引發(fā)批評,但是你卻得到了提高的機(jī)會。
2. They admit their mistakes
他們都承認(rèn)錯誤
My friend’s boss made a huge mistake by tying up with an event management company. The whole purpose of the tie-up was to promote his company but it failed miserably. Instead of defending his idea and carrying on as if nothing happened, he apologised to the team for not including them in the decision making. It’s OK to admit you were wrong. You will not only gain the respect of your team mates, you will also gain credibility.
我朋友的老板犯了個大錯,他把公司和一個活動管理公司合并了,本來合并是為了提升他的公司,誰知道最后竟是悲慘的結(jié)局。他沒有為自己的想法辯護(hù),沒裝作什么也沒有發(fā)生,而是因自己在做決策時沒有考慮到團(tuán)隊的意見而向他們道歉。承認(rèn)自己做錯了沒什么大不了。你不僅會獲得團(tuán)隊成員的尊敬,而且也會贏得信譽(yù)。
3. They are generous with compliments
他們毫不吝嗇贊美之詞
Remember the time, say in school or at work when you worked really hard but got nothing in return. Not even a thank you. It hurts when your efforts are not recognized. So every chance you get to praise someone, do it. A simple, “That was some great work, keep it up,” can go a long way in making the employee feel great about them self. A compliment can have a positive impact on their lives. Your team/family will love you for it.
還記得你認(rèn)真學(xué)習(xí)或努力工作而沒有任何回報的時候吧,有時連句“謝謝”都沒有。可你的努力不被承認(rèn)時你會受到打擊。所以,當(dāng)你有機(jī)會贊揚(yáng)他人時,一定要贊揚(yáng)。一句簡單的贊美之詞,如“做得真好,繼續(xù)努力,”會讓雇員在很長時間內(nèi)都會感覺良好。贊美能對他們的生活產(chǎn)生積極的影響。你的團(tuán)隊/家庭也喜歡你這樣做。
4. They are sensitive to others
他們對他人都很敏感
Think about a time you complimented someone and the recipient changed the topic? Maybe he or she was uncomfortable. But you still were not amused were you? Similarly, when you feel awkward receiving a compliment or an award, remain in control and give the person in front of you a genuine smile and thank him or her. Don’t make the moment sour by acting on your insecurities.
想一想,有沒有這樣的時候?你正贊美對方而對方卻改變了話題?也許你的贊美令他/她感覺不舒服。但是你會覺得不痛快,對吧?同樣地,當(dāng)你收到贊美之詞或獎品時,如果感到尷尬,可以克制自己,給你面前的人報以真正的微笑并謝謝他/她。不要因為不安全感而讓那一刻變得不愉快。
5. They ask for help
他們尋求幫助
When you need help, don’t be arrogant or shy and stop yourself. If you’re lost on the road, it is fine to ask for directions. Everyone needs a little help sometime. When you ask for help, you receive help. By doing so, you’re letting people know you’re no superhuman, that you’re willing to listen, you also need support at times…which only show you could become a great leader someday.
當(dāng)你需要幫助時,不要因為自大或害羞而不去向他人求助。如果你迷路了,就去問問別人怎么走。每個人都會在某一時刻需要幫助。當(dāng)你尋求幫助時,會有人幫助你。這樣做,你會讓人知道你不是超人,你愿意傾聽,你有時也需要別人的支持……這表明有一天你也可能成為偉大的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)。
6. They apologize when needed
他們該道歉的時候就道歉
We all make mistakes, but what makes a person big is when he is ready to apologize. Don’t try to hide behind excuses: “I didn’t mean to say it, it just happened.” “I was irritated with such and such person so…” No. Don’t try to shift blame. Just come right out and say you’re sorry.
我們都會犯錯,但優(yōu)秀的人勇于道歉。不要試圖找借口:“我不是這個意思。”“我被這樣的人激怒了……”不要這樣。不要試圖推卸責(zé)任。直接說你錯了。
7. They are willing to learn
他們樂于學(xué)習(xí)
When you don’t understand how something works, let an expert show you. When you let someone teach you something, you are telling the person that you respect their talent, time and that you believe he knows what he is talking about. That you respect their experience. Always be willing to learn, because there is no way in hell to know everything.
當(dāng)你不清楚事物的原理時,讓專家給你解釋。當(dāng)你讓別人教你東西時,你是在告訴別人你尊敬他的天賦、時間,你相信他的話。你佩服他們的經(jīng)驗。永遠(yuǎn)要樂于學(xué)習(xí),因為這是認(rèn)識世間萬物的唯一途徑。
8. They are helpful
他們樂于助人
Never hesitate to help someone. It’s fairly simple but it goes a long way. Don’t be non-committal and say something vague like, “Can I help you?” because they might just say, “No, I’m good.” The key is to not sound patronizing. Be specific. “I had the same problem with this coffee machine in the morning. I think I have figured a way to make it work.” Offer in a way that feels mutually beneficial.
能助人時且助人。說起來容易做起來難。不要害怕承諾并說一些模糊的話,“需要我的幫忙嗎?”因為別人可能以為你只是說說,“不,我很好。”并要注意不要以恩人自居。要具體一點.” 早晨我也碰到這個咖啡機(jī)出現(xiàn)過同樣的問題。我覺得我想到了一個辦法能把它修好。”用一種互惠互利的方式去幫助他人。
9. They are expressive
他們愿意表達(dá)自己
They are not bottled up. They feel something they verbalize it. Then be it pulling someone for not working hard or congratulating someone on their wonderful performance. This behaviour is not only restricted to work, but is applied to every aspect of their life.
他們不把話憋在肚子里。他們把感覺用語言表達(dá)出來。有人不努力工作就督促他,有人做得很好就祝賀他。這種方式不僅限于工作,而且適用于生活的方方面面。
10. They’re in charge of their emotions
他們能控制情感
Sometimes it is very important to stay mum. Especially when you’re angry or irritated or bitter, you don’t want to end up saying things you didn’t really mean to. So they take their time, they process their emotions, thin back to what happened, and then come to a decision about how to tackle it. Before you say anything, consider other’s feelings. Never be rash with words or actions.
有時保持沉默是非常重要的。尤其是當(dāng)你生氣、被激怒或很痛苦時。你不想說一些讓別人誤會的話。優(yōu)秀的人很從容,他們能控制自己的情感,想想發(fā)生過的事情,然后決定如何處理。在說話之前,考慮他人的感受。不要輕率說話或行動。
