And the message is again simple: believe, and you will achieve; conceive, and it will be conceived.
而它传达的讯息其实很简单:相信就会成功;构想就会实现
In reality, in the world, it will come to you.
在现实中就会实现
Very convincing, very inspiring message. But, is this message right?
让人信服,鼓舞人心。但是,这条讯息正确吗
Well, we talked about this and we saw the Roger Bannister story.
这我们讨论过,还有罗杰·班尼斯特的故事
You know one day, or six weeks after Roger Bannister runs a mile in 4 minutes, or in 3'59, John Landy runs it in 3'57.9.
他在4分钟,准确说是3'59跑完了1英里,6周后约翰·兰迪将这一成绩缩短到3'57.9
The year after 37 runners run the mile in under 4 minutes.
一年后37名运动员都能跑到4分内了
So there is something to it.
其中有一定奥妙
Once they believed it was possible, it became possible.
一但他们相信能办到,就有可能实现
And here is the issue, with much of what's going on in the self-help today,
但问题是,当今的心理自助运动的发展趋势
self-help realm today, it draws on a truth, a real truth and then blows it out of proportion.
当今的自助领域强调某个真相,将这个真相过分鼓吹
So yes, there is some truth in the fact that our mind creates reality.
没错,某种意义上我们的精神的确能创造现实
But that's only part of the truth.
但是这不是全部
We create reality or rather we co-create reality.
我们创造了现实,或者说是共同创造
There has to be something out there or in there, for example, when it comes to The Secret.
还会受到外界或者内在的某些影响,比如《秘密》
If you believe that you are likely to succeed, you are much more likely to succeed.
如果你相信自己可能会成功,那成功的可能性会变大
But that has to come with a lot of hard work and persistence, it has to come with a lot of failure, and learning from that failure.
但离不开刻苦勤奋与坚持不懈,而且失败避免不了,你要从失败中学习
