编者按：释迦牟尼佛说法四十多年，主要是谈如何离苦解脱、如何去除贪瞋痴、如何净化心，主要是谈心的问题。心态是心的表相，心态是心的导向，本篇作者杨先生，因为「正面的心态」而使得他的企业有了正面的发展，此种「正面的心态」，相信也应该应用在家庭里、在亲朋间、在待人接物中，它是非常重要的！因为我们都知道，人成则佛成，成佛须先成人。
人生成功重要的一环在于建立「正面的心态」。
An important link in the successful life lies in establishing “Positive Attitude”.
成功的人士，往往能学会用「正面的心态」去看问题。每一个人一定有其优点和缺点，成功的人士，往往能尽量发挥人们的优点，而回避他的缺点，其中包括自己。
Most of the time, successful people can learn how to use “Positive Attitude” to look into problems. Everybody has strong points and shortcomings. Successful people always try to bring people`s good points into play and avoid their own weak points.
所以「古之名训」说，用人之道，但取其长，不计其短。如果一个团队能建立这种思维，就能建立一支能干的团队。
There`s a saying in ancienttimes that the way to lead people is to exert his advantages and not to fusshis disadvantages. A capable team can be built up if this kind of thinking canbe established.
在日常的工作中和生活中，往往有「顺境」与「逆境」。成功的人士，往往在「顺境」中能「居安思危」，「晴天砍完下雨柴」。即天气好的时候，要把下雨日子要砍的柴也完成，因为下雨天，上山砍柴是很辛苦的，效果也是很差的。因此，当天气好的时候，要多砍一些柴，往市场去卖，有些积蓄，当下雨的日子，在家休息也不至于「饿肚子」。
In our daily life, there areperiods of “favorable circumstances” and “adversity”. Successful people, during“favorable circumstances”, often do things like “prepare for danger in times ofpeace” and “chop extra wood in sunny days for rainy time”. In good weather, weneed to cut more wood than we need to cut in wet days, due to it being exhaustingand inefficient cutting wood in the mountain when it’s raining. So, we shouldchop and hack more wood in fine days to sell in the market and save the money, inorder not to “get hungry” even rest at home in bad weather.
而在「逆境」中，成功人士往往看成是「磨练」自己的好机会，古语云：「生于忧患，死于安乐」，逆境往往令人奋发图强，从而不断上进，而安乐的日子往往令人沉醉，从而甘于安乐，不求进取，最终落后。
During “adversity”, successfulpeople like to treat it as a good opportunity to “train”themselves. An oldproverb says: “Thrive in calamity and perish in soft living”. Times ofadversity often makes people energetic, attempt to emulation and continue to make progress, yet soft living makes peopleindulging, addicted to peace and easiness, not seeking improvement, and will thenfall behind finally.
所以成功人士始终能用「正面的心态」去看问题，而失败的人士往往是用「负面的心态」去看问题。
Therefore, successful peoplealways see things with “positive attitude” and people who fail most of thetime, see things with “negative attitude”.
「正面的心态」还包括从积极的方面去思考问题，从好的方面去看问题，挖掘事件的机会，并能利用事件的机会，时刻注意用这种态度去「调控」自己的心态。
“Positive attitude” alsoincludes considering problems from active and good directions, then search forthe opportunities and utilize them to adjust mindset with this attitude constantly.
「负面的心态」往往受过去种种失败与疑虑所引导和支配，他们容易从坏的方面看问题，悲观、消极，最终只能走向失败。
“Negative attitude”, most ofthe time, is incurred and dominated by all kinds of failure and doubt in thepast. Those people tend to view problems from a bad aspect and then move towardfailure in the end due to pessimistic and passive attitudes.
「正面的心态」，包括「培养正确的思维模式」，「正确的思维模式」是一切从大局着想，而不是以「自我为中心」，一切为「公」着想而不是为私打算，所想、所说、所行、都是「先利人，后利己」，时刻从对方角度去考虑问题；「易地而处」、「过得自己过得人」、「己所不欲，勿施于人」。处理问题时，尽量做到公平、公正，并尽量增加「透明度」、也就是「公开」。这样，一个企业就能有凝聚力、就能团结、就能有竞争力、就能建立起一个良好的「小区式企业」。所以，「正确的思维模式」加上积极的进取，可以使一个企业获得巨大的成功。
“Positive attitude” includes “cultivatingproper thinking pattern”. “Proper thinking pattern” is to think for the wholegeneral situation, not for oneself; for the public, not for private. What thosepeople think, speak, and act is all for others first, considering problems fromthe stand point of others every moment. They stand in other`s shoes, considerother`s opinion and they do not do to others what they would not like to do.
When they handle things, they do their best to make it fair, transparent andopen. In doing so, an enterprise will be able to have cohesion, solidarity, andcompetitive strength and then, create a fine “community-based enterprise”.
Therefore, “Proper thinking pattern” and positive progress can make anenterprise big success.
相反，消极的、破坏性的心态容易摧毁所有的成功，正如：「UNIQLO」的创办人柳井正亲笔所写的一本书，其书名是「成功一日可以丢弃」，可见「破坏性心态」的力量。如果继续下去，它最终将破坏人的健康。
On the contrary, negative anddestructive attitude would easily destroy all success. This is like what itsays in the book of “One-day-success can be discarded` written by Mr. TadashiYanai, the founder of UNIQLO Company. So, the power of destructive attitude is tremendous.If it continues, it will destroy people`s health ultimately.
「正面的心态」包括「专心致志」，「专心」就是把意识集中在某个特定的目标，并且找到达到目标的适当方法，同时，能够持之有恒，不到目标，誓不罢休。
“Positive attitude” also includes“Concentration and Dedication”. “Concentration” means to concentrate on a certaintarget with consciousness, find out the appropriate ways to reach a goal withsustained effort until success.
「富合作精神」，科学家在风洞试验中发现，成群的加拿大雁以「V」字形飞行，比一只雁单独飞行，能多飞72%的距离，人类也是一样，只要能跟同伴合作而不是彼此争斗的话，往往能走得更远而且更快。
“Possess the spirit of corporation”– scientists found in a wind tunnel test, that a flock of Canadian geese in theshape of a“V” can fly 72% more distance than a single goose. Human beings arethe same. As long as people corporate with partners and not contend each other,further distance and faster pace can be reached.
「正面的心态」有赖于「养成良好的习惯」，「好的习惯」令人立于不败之地，坏的习惯会把人从成功的神坛上拉下来。
“Positive attitude” dependson “developing good habit”. “Good habit” makes people stand in the invincibleposition, while bad habit will pull down people from the success altar.
常常做一件事就会成为习惯，而习惯的力量的确大极了。但人类内心也有一种「天生的良知」，也就是人类既然有能力养成好的习惯，当然有能力去除他们认为不好的习惯。
People will develop a habitfrom frequently doing one thing, and the power from the habit is very big. Fromhuman`s natural conscience, people have the ability to develop good habit, and peoplehave the ability to get rid of bad habit also.
在现实中，往往是「学坏易、学好难」，所以出现「知易行难」的现实，但是难并不等于不可能，所以古语云：「不经一番寒彻骨，那得梅花扑鼻香」。
In reality, it`s always “easyto learn bad things, hard to learn good things”. That’s why people say “It`seasier said than done”. But, difficulty doesn`t mean impossibility. That`s why the old proverb says that “A plumtree will not produce very fragrant blossoms without first experiencing a deep freeze.”
