The Scroll Marked IV 羊皮卷之四
I am nature's greatest miracle.
我是自然界最伟大的奇迹。
Since the beginning of time never has there been another with my mind, my heart, my eyes, my ears, my hands, my hair, my mouth. None that came before, none that live today, and none that come tomorrow can walk and talk and move and think exactly like me. All men are my brothers yet I am different from each. I am a unique creature.
自从上帝创造了天地万物以来,没有一个人和我一样,我的头脑、心灵、眼睛、耳朵、双手、头发、嘴唇都是与众不同的。言谈举止和我完全一样的人以前没有,现在没有,以后也不会有。虽然四海之内皆兄弟,然而人人各异。我是独一无二的造化。
I am nature's greatest miracle.
我是自然界最伟大的奇迹。
Although I am of the animal kingdom, animal rewards alone will not satisfy me. Within me burns a flame, which has been passed from generations uncounted and its heat is a constant irritation to my spirit to become better than I am, and I will. I will fan this flame of dissatisfaction and proclaim my uniqueness to the world.
我不可能像动物一样容易满足,我心中燃烧着代代相传的火焰,它激励我超越自己,我要使这团火燃得更旺,向世界宣布我的出类拔萃。
None can duplicate my brush strokes, none can make my chisel marks, none can duplicate my handwriting, none can produce my child, and, in truth, none has the ability to sell exactly as I. Henceforth, I will capitalize on this difference for it is an asset to be promoted to the fullest.
没有人能模仿我的笔迹,我的商标,我的成果,我的推销能力。从今往后,我要使自己的个性充分发展,因为这是我得以成功的一大资本。
I am nature's greatest miracle.
我是自然界最伟大的奇迹。
Vain attempts to imitate others no longer will I make. Instead will I place my uniqueness on display in the market place. I will proclaim it, yea, I will sell it. I will begin now to accent my differences; hide my similarities. So too will I apply this principle to the goods I sell. Salesman and goods, different from all others, and proud of the difference.
我不再徒劳地模仿别人,而要展示自己的个性。我不但要宣扬它,还要推销它。我要学会去同存异,强调自己与众不同之处,回避人所共有的通性,并且要把这种原则运用到商品上。推销员和货物,两者皆独树一帜,我为此而自豪。
I am a unique creature of nature.
我是独一无二的奇迹。
I am rare, and there is value in all rarity; therefore, I am valuable. I am the end product of thousands of years of evolution; therefore, I am better equipped in both mind and body than all the emperors and wise men who preceded me.
