弔詭戒律 Oct. 2008

今天在圖書館看一本書時,在結尾一頁有以下釋文,在人生路途中非常有用
人們無邏輯、不講理、自我中心,無論如何,還是要愛人
你做好事,別人說你別有用心,無論如何,還是要做好事
你成功時會有假朋友和真敵人,無論如何,還是要成功
今日行善,明天就被人遺忘,無論如何,還要行善
真誠和坦率待人常令你受傷害,無論如何,還是要真誠和坦率
胸懷大志的人常被心胸狹隘的人攻擊,無論如何,還是要胸懷大志
人們同情弱者但追捧強者,無論如何,還是要幫助弱者爭取
你多年建立的成就可能毀於一旦,無論如何,還是要建立成就
你幫助有需要的人卻無好報,無論如何,還是要幫助人
你為世界奉上最好的卻遭挫折,無論如何,還是要給世界最好的你

The Paradoxical Commandments
by Dr. Kent M. Keith


People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered.
Love them anyway.

If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.

If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.

The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.

Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.

The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds.
Think big anyway.

People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.
Fight for a few underdogs anyway.

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.

People really need help but may attack you if you do help them.
Help people anyway.

Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you have anyway.
