I have to success
“once upon a time， there was a king who had a daughter as beautiful as a blooming rose. to all the suitors who came to the king's palace to ask for the hand of the princess, the old king assigned three tasks to be accomplished, each next to impossible. one day, into the king's palace came a handsome young prince..." well, you know the rest. the three tasks may be different in different versions, but the main plot is always the same, with the prince claiming the princess's hand triumphantly.
and the ending is always the same, finishing with the line "and they live happily every after."
why aren't we tired of something so fanciful, so unrealistic, and, i would say, so unimaginative? how can a story like that endure generations of repetition`? because, i think, it is a typical success story. it is highly philosophical and symbolic. by implication, we see a 4-step definition of success: 1 ) a goal to be set. as represented by the beautiful princess; 2 ) challenges to be met, as represented by the three tasks; 3 ) the process of surmounting difficulties, as represented by the ordeals the youth goes through; and 4 ) the reward of success, as represented by the happy marriage.
the story not only caters to everyone's inward yearning for success, but also emphasizes the inseparability of the process and the result. the reward of success will be much amplified if the path leading towards it is treacherous, and vice versa. if a person inherits his father's millions and leads an easy life, he is not a successful person even in material terms, because there are no difficulties involved in his achieving affluence. the term "success", to be sure. will not sit still for easy definition. but as i understand it, the true meaning of success entails a combination of both the process and the satisfactory result of an endeavor. to clarify my view, let me give another analogy.
if we changed the rules of football, greatly enlarged the goal and sent away david seaman or any other goal keeper, so that another david, namely david beckham, could score easily, then scoring would not give him the thrill of accomplishment and the joy that it brings. if we further changed the rules by not allowing arsenal's defenders to defend, so that beckham needed only to lift a finger, actually a toe, to score, then there would be no game at all, because the meaning of winning would have disappeared. in accepting the challenge, in surmounting the difficulties and in enduring the hardship, success acquires its value. the sense of attainment varies in proportion to the degree of difficulties on overcomes.
成功之我見
“從前,有一個國王有一個女兒就像盛開的玫瑰一樣美麗。所有追求者來到王宮裏要求公主的手,老國王指派完成三個任務,每一個幾乎不可能的。有一天,國王的宮殿是一個年輕英俊的王子……“嗯,你知道。不同版本的三個任務可能會有所不同,但主要情節總是相同的,得意地宣稱王子公主的手。
和結局總是一樣的,完成與行“每後,他們幸福地生活在一起。”
為什麼不我們厭倦了一些幻想,不現實,,我想説,如此缺乏想象力?故事怎麼能這樣忍受一代又一代的重複”?因為,我認為,這是一個典型的成功故事。它是高度哲學和象徵性。通過暗示,我們看到一個分4步的成功的定義:1)所代表的一個目標是集美麗的公主;2)挑戰,為代表的三個任務;3)克服困難的過程中,所代表的考驗的青春經歷,和4)成功的獎勵,如所代表的幸福的.婚姻。
這個故事不僅迎合每個人的內心渴望成功,但也強調了過程和結果的不可分離性。成功的獎勵會放大很多如果路徑主要是危險的,反之亦然。如果一個人繼承了他父親的數百萬和領導一個簡單的生活,在物質財富方面他甚至不是一個成功的人,因為他沒有困難參與實現富裕。“成功”這個詞,可以肯定的是。不會坐着容易定義。但隨着我的理解,成功的真正含義需要兩者的結合的過程和滿意的結果努力。闡明我的觀點,讓我給另一個類比。
如果我們改變了足球的規則,大大擴大了目標和打發大衞·希曼或任何其他守門員,這樣另一個大衞,大衞·貝克漢姆,可以輕易得分,然後得分不會給他帶來的成就感和快樂,興奮。如果我們進一步改變了規則不允許阿森納的後衞防守,所以貝克漢姆只需要抬起手指,腳趾,分數,然後就沒有遊戲,因為勝利的意義就會消失了。在接受挑戰,克服困難,在忍受苦難,成功獲得它的價值。成就的感覺不同比例的程度上克服困難。
