《與成功有約》05.12.2024

    Conscience is the ability to detect our own uniqueness and the personal, moral, and ethical guidelines within which we can most happily fulfill it.

    良知是覺察我們自己的獨特性以及個人、道德和倫理準則的能力。

emergence: somebody/something moving out of or away from something and becoming possible to see

prerequisite: that must exist or happen before something else can happen or be done

    Management is the breaking down, the analysis, the sequencing, the specific application, the time-bound left brain aspect of effective self-government.

    Independent will is the ability to make decisions and choices and to act in accordance with them. It is the ability to act rather than to be acted upon.

    獨立意志是做出決定和選擇,並依照這些決定和選擇行事的能力。這是一種行動的能力,而非被其他人牽著走。

triumph: to obtain victory

pull/drag yourself up by your (own) bootstraps: to improve your situation yourself, without help from other people

    Effective management is putting first things first. While leadership decides what "first things" are, it is management that puts them first, day-by-day, moment-by-moment. Management is discipline, carrying it out.

disciple: a person who believes in and follows the teachings of a religious or political leader

superordinate: used to describe a word, category or level with a more general meaning, greater range or higher level than something else

    If you are an effective manager of yourself, your discipline comes from within; it is a function of your independent will. You are a disciple, a follower, of your own deep values and their source. And you have the will, the integrity, to subordinate your feelings, your impulses, your moods to those values.

    如果你是一位有效的自我管理者,你的紀律來自內心。你是自己深層價值觀及其來源的追隨者。你有獨立的意志,有正直的美德,讓你的感覺、衝動、情緒從屬於這些價值觀。

astute: very clever and quick at seeing what to do in a particular situation, especially how to get an advantage

endeavor: an attempt to do something, especially something new or difficult

semblance: outward and often specious appearance or show

specious: having a false look of truth or genuineness

counterproductive: having the opposite effect to the one that was intended

clash: to come into conflict

revert to: to go back or return to (an earlier state, condition, situation, etc.)

spontaneity: voluntary or undetermined action or movement

undetermined: not definitely or authoritatively decided, settled, or identified

misnomer: a name or a word that is not appropriate or accurate
