誠、勤、慎、真
誠以待人、勤以服務
慎言敏事、處世率真


- 楊志石


麥帥為子祈禱文


吳 溪 真 譯註


  主啊,請陶冶我的兒子,使他成為一個堅強的人,能夠知道自己什麼時候是軟弱的;使他成為一個勇敢的人,能夠在畏懼的時候認清自己,謀求補救;使他在誠實的失敗之中,能夠自豪而不屈,在獲得成功之際,能夠謙遜而溫和。
  請陶冶我的兒子,使他不要以願望代替實際作為;使他能夠認識主──並且曉得自知乃是知識的基石。
  我祈求您,不要引導他走上安逸舒適的道路,而要讓他遭受困難與挑戰的磨鍊和策勵。讓他藉此,學習在風暴之中挺立起來;讓他藉此學習對失敗的人們加以同情。
  請陶冶我的兒子,使他的心地純潔,目標高超;在企圖駕馭他人之前,先能駕馭自己;對未來善加籌劃,但是永不忘記過去。
  在他把以上諸點都已做到之後,還請賜給他充分的幽默感,使他可以永遠保持嚴肅的態度,但絕不自視非凡,過於抱執。請賜給他謙遜,使他可以永遠記住真實偉大的樸實無華,真實智慧的虛懷若谷,和真實力量的溫和蘊藉。
  然後,作為他的父親的我,才敢低聲說道:「我已不虛此生!」

~ General Douglas MacArth



麥克阿瑟為子祈禱文


“Build me a son, O Lord,
who will be strong enough to know when he is weak, and brave enough to face himself when he is afraid; one who will be proud and unbending in honest defeat, and humble and gentle in victory.

 

Build me a son
whose wishes will not take the place of deeds; a son who will know Thee………and that to know himself is the foundation stone of knowledge.

 

Lead him, I pray,
not in the path of ease and comfort, but under the stress and spur of difficulties and challenge. Here, let him learn to stand up in the storm; here let him learn compassion for those that fail.

 

Build me a son
whose heart will be clear, whose goal will be high, a son who will master himself before he seeks to master other men; one who will reach into the future, yet never forget the past.

And after all these things are his, add, I pray, enough of a sense of humor, so that he may always be serious, yet never take himself too seriously.

 

Give him humility,
So that he may always remember the simplicity of true greatness, the open mind of true wisdom and the meekness of true strength.

Then, I, his father will dare to whisper, “I have not lived in vain.”

~ General Douglas MacArth

每日一座右銘

 

             
方素華/編譯 漢威出版社

快樂不能靠外來的物質和虛榮,而要靠自己內心的高貴與正直。能保有這高貴與正直,即使在財富地位上沒有大收穫,內心也是快樂和滿足。

                                -羅蘭


  人生是寶貴的,時間是不容許隨便蹉跎的,發揚崇高的德行,是我們天生的責任;努力把自己塑造成為正直誠實的人,比其他任何的事都來的重要。
  正直是萬物存在、發展和滋長繁榮的原則。長得最巨大的樹木,它的枝幹必是最直,根基必是最正的。你未來的前途,是要用你的純正的思想和健全的人格來做基礎。你要特別留心,別讓社會上的不良習氣引誘你,使你忽視了正直的重要性。歷來所有偉大的人物,沒有一個不是堂堂正正的。你的言語和行動,必須永遠保持正直和誠實,才能掌握成功的人生。

1996年中國航運公司財務副總經理朱世洪親筆字畫〝孟子告子篇〞一幅給予陸莉玲加油打氣與鼓勵!




忍一時之氣,免百日之憂;一切諸煩惱,皆從不忍生。

                        -希臘諺語

  忍耐是一種處世哲學,也是人類毅力的高度表現,有句俗話勸人「是非切莫強出頭」就是要我們「忍一時氣保百年身」。由此可知,忍耐是一種無法衡量的最高境界,能了解忍耐藝術的人,將是永遠幸福的。一個人常因一時衝動而鑄成大錯,卻從未因忍耐而後悔的。
  生活在忍耐中的人,他的意志是堅韌的。懂得在忍耐中生活的人,就懂得培養自己的意志力,訓練自己的意志力,生活將不會感到空虛。忍耐不是消極的逃避,而是潛在力量的孕育,忍耐不是懦弱的妥協,而是積極奮鬥的準備;它更不是痛苦的結果,而是仇恨點燃怒火的象徵。尤其,生活在競爭激烈的現代社會裡,人與人之間的利害關係常有衝突,此時,片刻的忍耐可把即將爆發的爭吵消弭於無形,故忍耐絕不是懦弱的行為,是一種消除摩擦,以靜制動的高度涵養。
 



365個快速成功法
365 Positive Action Plan

by Napoleon Hill’s 
林光常總審訂/丁琪倩 譯/世潮出版公司

支配你心靈的「想法」,遠比真實的你更偉大
  你最常想些什麼,你就會變成那樣的一個人,這說法可是一點兒也不假。你所締造成就中的質與量,和你在思想中設定的大小成正比。如果,你讓微不足道的小事佔據了你的心懷意念,那麼你將達成的,也是些無足輕重的事。所以,多訓練自己想些重要的事。對自己領域中的事要不斷接收最近資訊,趕上世界潮流。把一些好點子記下來,列張表,以便在解決問題時能隨時派上用場。切記,狹窄的心想的事雜事,偉大的心想是智謀。

YOU WILL NEVER BE GREATER THAN THE THOUGHTS THAT DOMINATE YOUR MIND.
  If it’s true that you become what you think ablout most, it follows that the quantity and quality of success you achieve in your life will be in direct proportion to the size of your thoughts. IF you allow your mind to be dominated by trivial matters, your achievements are likely to be unimportant. Discipline yourself to think about important things. Keep up with what’s new in your filed and with what’s going on in the world. Make a list of good ideas that you can use anytime you are searching for a creative solution to a problem. Remember, small minds think about things; great minds think about ideas.

 


要主動率先的做事.也要有為自己的行為承擔所有責任的準備

  在生活中成就大事的人和凡事得過且過的人之間最基本的差異在於:成功的人很早就明白要為自己的行動負責。沒有人能促使你成功,也沒有人能阻撓你達成目標。
  率先創新的角色意謂著承擔著領導者的角色,也是一個令人另眼相看的角色,因為將承擔所有的讚美──及批評。優秀的領導人能和團隊分享成就、功勞,但承擔全部的失敗及一時遇挫的責任。當你為行動負責時,你不但能贏得別人的尊敬,也是你穩健開創人生之始。

ACT ON YOUR OWN INITIATIVE, BUT BE PREPARED TO ASSUME FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR ACTS.
  One of the primary differences between those who achieve great things in their lives and those who manage only to“get by”is that successful people learned early in life that they were responsible for their own actions. No other person can make you successful or keep you from achieving your goals.
  Taking the initiative means assuming a leadership role, a position that singles you out for praise-and for criticism. The good leader is the one who shares the credit for success with others and assumes full responsibility for failures or temporary setbacks. When you accept responsibility for your actions, you gain the respect of others and are well on the way to creating your own future.

 

健全的人格是你最大的資產,它會使你具備解除生命中危機的力量
  如果沒有積極的心態(PMA),生命只像是一段不安穩的歷程,處處都有偶發──而且是足以將你徹底打倒的危機。不論是有關你個人、財務或是健康方面的危機,都需要個別而且迅速的處理。解決危機的不二法門是專注於找出解決的方法,而不在於找出造成問題的可能原因或是誰該為此問題負責。立即擬出災害評估,深思各種因應之道和可能的結果。
  接下來,就是以行動貫徹最佳的解決方案。當生命中的危機發生時,只有正視它、克服它,才能使你成長、變得堅強。


SOUND CHARACTER IS OUR GREATEST ASSET BECAUSE IT PROVIDES THE POWER WITH WHICH WE MAY RIDE THE EMERGENCIES OF LIFE INSTEAD OF GOING DOWN UNDER THEM.
  Without PMA, life might be described as long periods of uncertainty punctuated by occasional emergencies that shake you to the very core of your being. The emergencies may be financial, personal, or health related, but each must be dealt with separately and swiftly. The surest way to deal with any crisis is to focus on solutions, not on the probable cause of the problem or who should be blamed for it. Conduct a quick damage assessment, take the time to think through the alternatives and their consequences, and then act to implement the best solution. If you deal with life’s emergencies as they occur-on your own terms-you will be a stronger, better person for having looked them in the eye and conquered them.
