  背诵小贴士 Recitation tips

  仔细地思考这些问题：

  1. 我是在做自己吗？我了解自己吗？我对周围的人和事做出回应吗？Am I authentic? Do I know myself? Am I being myself? Am I responsive?

  2. 我听别人说话时有意识地在评价吗？我是否真的独立思考，而非人云亦云？Do I do my own thinking and use my own knowledge? Do I listen to others and evaluate what say?

  3. 我是否自然不做作，天然无矫饰？我是否快乐，友好？Am I spontaneous? Do I have a zest for life? Do I enjoy work, play, food, other people, and the world of nature?

  4. 我是否有足够的自控力？Am I able to discipline myself to postpone enjoyment in order to have enhanced enjoyment in the future?

  5. 我不是个冷漠无情的人吧？Do I care about the world and its people?

  成 功者

  每一个人生来就是一个先前从未存在过的崭新的个体。他在人生中成功立业的能力与生俱来。每一个人都可以以其独特的方式观察、倾听、触摸、体味和思索大千世界。每个人都有独一无二的潜质--才干和局限。每一个人都可以凭自己的努力成为一个有价值、有头脑、有感悟、有创造力、有成就的人，即成功者。

  成功者的潜质各不相同。成就并不是最重要的，活得真实才是。一个真实的人通过了解自我、坚持自我，使自己成为值得信赖、乐于回应的人来体验真实的自我。他实现独特的永不重复的自我，同时也尊重他人的独特性。

  成功者不惮于用自己的头脑去思考，用自己的感官去体会大千世界。他能够区分出哪些是事实、哪些是观点。同时并不宣称洞察一切。他倾听他人的意见，评估他们的话语，可是结论要由自己作出，他可以钦慕、敬重别人，可是他决不为他人所局限、所束缚，不会对他们敬若神灵。

  成功者是自在的。他无须以既定的、僵硬的方式用出回应。一旦情况改变，他会相应地变更计划。成功者对人生充满了热忱。他享受工作、玩乐和美食、欣赏他人并钟爱大自然。他享受成功的乐趣而问心无愧；他分享他人的成就而心无芥蒂。

  成功者可以自由自在地享受人生，他还可以延缓这种享受。为了未来的享受更加丰厚，他可以在时下约束自己，追求自己的目标，他无所畏惧，但总是行之有道，不逾规矩。他不会为了自己的安全感去控制他人。

  成功者关注世界，关心他人。对于社会的普遍问题，他从不置身事外。他有一颗关注的心、同情的心，全身心致力于提高人生的质量。即便在本国或国际间发生困难之际，他也不会感到无能为力。他竭尽力之所能，使这个世界成为更加美好的地方。
