　　：Suffering Is Self-Manufactured

　　by Dr. Leon J. Saul

　　I believe the immediate purpose of life is to live - to survive. All known forms of life go through life cycles. The basic plan is: birth - maturing - mating - reproducing - death.

　　Thus the immediate purpose of human life is for each individual to fulfill his life cycle. This involves proper maturing into the fully developed adult of the specie.

　　The pine tree grows straight unless harmful influences warp it. So does the human being. It is a finding of the greatest significance that the mature man and woman have the nature and characteristics of the good spouse and parent: the ability to enjoy responsible working and loving.

　　If the world consisted primarily of mature persons - loving, responsible, productive, toward family, friends and the world - most of our human problems would be resolved.

　　But most people have suffered in childhood from influences which have warped their development. Hence, as adults they have not realized their full and proper nature. They feel something is wrong without knowing what it is. They feel inferior, frustrated, insecure, and anxious. And they react to these inner feelings just as any animal reacts to any hurt or threat: by readiness to fight or to flee. Flight carries them into alcoholism and other mental disorders. Fight impels them to crime, cruelty, war.

　　This readiness to violence, this inhumanity of man to man, is the basic problem of human life - for, in the form of war, it now threatens to extinguish us.

　　Without the fight-flight reaction, man would never have survived the cave and the jungle. But now, through social living, man has made himself relatively safe from the elements and wild beasts. He is even learning to protect himself against disease. He can produce adequate food, clothing and shelter for the present population of the earth. Barring a possible astronomical accident, he now faces no serious threat to his existence, except one - the fight-flight reaction within himself. This jungle readiness to hurt and to kill is now a vestigial hangover like the appendix, which interferes with the new and more powerful means of coping with nature through civilization. Trying to solve every problem by fighting or fleeing is the primitive method, still central for the immature child. The later method, understanding and co-operation, requires the mature capacities of the adult.

　　In an infantile world, fighting may be forced upon one. Then it is more effective if handled maturely for mature goals. Probably war will cease only when enough people are mature.

　　The basic problem is social adaptation and biologic survival. The basic solution is for people to understand the nature of their own biological emotional maturity, to work toward it, to help the children in their development toward it.

　　Human suffering is mostly made by man himself. It is primarily the result of the failure of adults, because of improper child-rearing, to mature emotionally. Hence instead of enjoying their capacities for responsible work and love, they are grasping, egocentric, insecure, frustrated, anxious and hostile. Maturity is the path from madness and murder to inner peace and satisfying living for each individual and for the human specie.

　　This I believe on the evidence of science and through personal observation and experience.

　　：You are Absolutely Unique

　　Enjoy that uniquenesss1. You do not have to pretend in order to seem more like someone else. You do not have to lie to hide the parts of you that are not like what you see in anyone else.

　　You were meant to be different. Nowhere, in all of history, will the same things be going on in anyone’s mind, soul and spirit as are going on in yours right now.

　　If you did not exist, there would be a hole in creation, a gap2 in history, and something missing from the plan for humankind. Treasure your uniqueness. It is a gift given only to you. Enjoy it and share it!

　　No one can reach out to others in the same way that you can. No one can speak your words. No one can convey your meanings. No one can comfort others with your kind of comfort. No one can bring your kind of understanding to another person. No one can be cheerful and light-hearted3 and joyous4 in your way. No one can smile your smile. No one else can bring the whole unique impact of you to another human being.

　　Share your uniqueness. Let it flow out freely among your family and friends, and the people you meet in the rush and clutter of living, wherever you are. That gift of yourself was given to you to enjoy and share. Give yourself away!

　　See it! Receive it!

　　Let it inform you, move you and inspire you!

　　You are unique!

　　翻譯：你是獨一無二的

　　請欣賞你自己的獨特吧!你不用偽裝自己以使你看起來和別人一樣,也無需掩藏你在別人看來所具有的獨特性。

　　你生來與眾不同。現在你所擁有的思想,靈魂,精神是任何時刻、任何地點的其他人都不曾擁有的。

　　如果你不存在了,那麼上帝的作品中就有了一個缺憾,歷史也不再完整,人類發展也有了缺失。

　　珍惜你所擁有的獨特性。這是上天給你的禮物,請欣賞並學會分享它。

　　沒有人能像你一樣樂於幫助別人。沒有人能像你一樣表達自己。也沒人能夠表達你想傳達的意思。沒有人能用你所特有的方式來安慰別人。也沒有人能夠像你一樣善解人意。沒有人能像你一樣感受快樂、無憂無慮,也沒有人能像你一樣微笑。總而言之,沒有人能夠把你的特性展示給其他人。

　　分享你的獨特性吧!盡情地將你的獨一無二展示給其他人,英語短文不管是你的親人和朋友還是你在紛繁複雜的生活中所遇到的路人。請欣賞並分享上帝給你的這份獨特的禮物吧。釋放你自己!

　　感知它並且接受它!

　　聽從你的獨特性,讓它影響你、感動你並且激勵你前進!

　　你是獨一無二的!

　　：Good Mistakes　有益的錯誤

　　It's good to make mistake, and here is why.

　　First of all, mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things. It's always good to try new things because when you are trying new things you are growing. If you never try anything new, how can you improve? How can you expand? How can you innovate? The simple answer is "You can't".Look around you.With very few exceptions, either everything you see in your physical world or every single detail of every single thing is the result of someone trying something new.

　　Another good thing about mistakes is this: when you are making mistakes, you are learning. Consider this: Edison failed 10000 times before he perfected the light bulb. when asked how it felt to fail that many times, he remarked that he hadn't failed 10000 times, but rather had learned 10000 things that didn't work.

　　Finally, when you make a mistake you are much closer to success. Why?

　　Because when all is said and done, you will have tried some finite number of things before you succeeded, Every time you made a mistake you eliminated one of those things and are one step closer.

　　But this all doesn't mean that you should forget ahead with disregard for the consequences of a mistake. Quite the contrary, when you try something new you have to be willing to set some reasonable limits so that in the event that it doesn't work out the way you want it to, you will be in a position to try again.

　　We all have limited resources in the form of time and money so don't blow them all on one approach to a problem. Realize that it probably won't be perfect the first time and allocate these resources appropriately so you can learn,modify, and try it again. Only by embracing and using your mistakes in this way can you make significant advances in your business and your career.

　　There is an old axiom that goes, "If you're not making mistakes,you're not trying hard enough."

　　So go forth and make mistakes. And learn. And grow. And prosper.
