对人来说最难做的事情之一是客观地在自身所处环境(即机器)中看待自身,从而成为机器的设计者和管理者。大多数人一直都停留在把自己看做机器中的工作者的角度。如果你能够看到这两种角色之间的区别,并且看到成为自身生活的良好设计者与管理者要比成为机器中的工作者重要得多,你就走到了正确的道路上。想要取得成功,作为“设计者和管理者”的你必须客观看待作为“工作者”的你,不看高自己,也不让自己承担不应该承担的任务。大多数人都是凭情感行动,只看眼前,而没有从上述战略性的视角出发。他们的生活中充满了没有方向性的情感体验,随波逐流。如果你想在晚年回顾一生时觉得实现了人生愿望的话,你就不应该这样做。
One of the hardest things for people to do is to objectively look down on themselves within their circumstances (i.e., their machine) so that they can act as the machine’s designer and manager. Most people remain stuck in the perspective of being a worker within the machine. If you can recognize the differences between those roles and that it is much more important that you are a good designer/manager of your life than a good worker in it, you will be on the right path. To be successful, the “designer/man-ager you” has to be objective about what the “worker you” is really like, not believing in him more than he deserves, or putting him in jobs he shouldn’t be in. Instead of having this strategic perspective, most people operate emotionally and in the moment; their lives are a series of undirected emotional experiences, going from one thing to the next. If you want to look back on your life and feel you’ve achieved what you wanted to, you can’t operate that way.
