64 Ambition 抱负
Here is a strong view that holds that success is a myth, and ambition therefore a sham. Does this mean that success does not really exist? That achievement is at bottom empty? That the efforts of men and women are of no significance alongside the force of movements and events? Now, not all success, obviously, is worth esteeming, nor all ambition worth cultivating. Which are and which are not is something one soon enough learns on ones own. But even the most cynical secretly admit that success exists; that achievement counts for a great deal; and that the true myth is that the actions of men and women are useless. To believe otherwise is to take on a point of view that is likely to be deranging. It is, in its implications, to remove all motives for competence, interest in attainment, and regard for posterity.
有一种盛行的观点,认为成功是一种神话,因此抱负亦属虚幻。这是否意味着成功并不存在?成就亦是场空?在诸多事件力量的相形之下,男男女女的努力又显得微不足道。显然,并非所有的成功都值得景仰,也并非所有的抱负都值得栽培。对值和不值的选择,一个人自然而然便能很快学会。但即便是最为愤世嫉俗的人也会暗自承认,成功的确存在,成就的意义举足轻重,而把世上男男女女的所作所为说成是徒劳无功才是真正的无稽之谈不相信成功的存在,就等于接纳了一种混乱的观点。这种观点的本意将所有提高能力的动机、求取业绩的兴趣和对子孙后代的关注一笔勾销。
