六分鐘的短片——可怕的不是死亡，而是你從未真正活過

佛學 09-23

6分鐘不到就能燃起你鬥志的短片：

可怕的不是死亡，而是你從未真正活過！

步步向生，時時可死

不忘初心，方得始終

It is not death most people are afraid of.It is getting to the end of life, only to realize that you never truly lived.

其實大多數人恐懼的並不是死亡本身。而是當生命漸漸走到盡頭，你才發現自己從未真正的活過。

There was a study done, a hospital study on 100 elderly people facing death close to their last breath. They were asked to reflect about their life』s biggest regret.Nearly all of them said they regretted not the things they did but the things they didn』t do.The risks they never took the dreams they didn』t pursue.

某醫院進行了一項調查，他們訪問了一百位彌留的老人，讓他們回顧人生中最大的遺憾。幾乎所有人心中的遺憾都不是關於那些他們經歷過的事，而是自己從未做過的事，沒冒過的險沒追逐過的夢。

I ask you would your last words be; if only I had – hey, you wake up.Why do you exist? Life is not meant to simply work, wait for the weekend and pay rent. No, no I don』t know much. But I know this every person on this earth has a gift.

我問你，你的臨終遺言會是什麼，是「假如當初我……」——嘿，打住。你為什麼而存於世？人生的目的不僅僅局限在工作，然後期盼休假以及繳付房租。不止這些，雖然我懂得不多，但是我知道，每個人都有一份生命所給予的禮物。

And I apologized to the black community but I can no longer pretend Martin Luther King.That man never had a dream, that dream had him.See people don』t choose dreams, dreams choose them. So the question I』m getting to is, do you have the courage to grab the dream that picked you?That befit you and grips you; or will you let it get away and slip through?

我要向黑人兄弟們道歉，無意冒犯，但我可不能假裝是馬丁·路德·金了（美國民權運動領袖）。馬丁·路德·金，他未曾擁有一個夢想，是夢想擁有了他。「人們從未選擇夢想，是夢想選擇了他們」。所以我想要問的問題是：你是否有勇氣和決斷，去抓住那個找到你的夢想？是抓住那個契合本心、由衷嚮往的夢想？還是任由它們消散四處再也無力挽回？

You know I learned a fact about airplanes the other day. This was – this was so surprising to see, I was talking to a pilot and he told me that many of his passengers think planes are dangerous to fly in. But he said actually, it is a lot more dangerous for a plane to stay on the ground. I say what? Like how does that sound what he said, he said because on the ground, The plane starts to rust.

講一件我最近了解到的關於飛機的事實吧——實在出乎我意料。在我與一位飛行員聊天時他告訴我說，很多乘客都認為飛機的狀態在天上比地上危險，而事實上，待在地上的飛機更危險。我說：什麼，我沒聽錯吧？他解釋道飛機在地上會更快的生鏽。

Malfunction and wear, much faster than it ever would if it was in the air. As I walked away I thought, yeah, makes total sense because planes were built to live in the skies. And every person was built to live out the dream they have inside. So it is perhaps the saddest loss to live a life on the ground without ever taking off.

在地上飛機磨損、機能故障的速度遠遠大於在天上飛的時候。後來我又想了想，對呀，很有道理，因為飛機是為翱翔天空而生，就像人是為活出本我探尋內心的夢而生。所以或許人生最應悲憐的應是，在地上奮鬥一輩子，卻未曾起飛。

See most of us are afraid of the thief, they comes in the night to steal all of our things. But there is a thief in your mind who is after your dreams. His name is doubt.If you see him call the cops and keep him away from the kids because he is wanted for murder. So he has killed more dreams than failure ever did. He wears many disguises and like a virus will leave you blinded, divided and turn you into a kinda.

許多人都害怕遭賊，他們會在夜裡悄悄偷走家裡一切值錢的東西。但是在你心裡就住著一個賊，時刻惦記著你的夢想，他的名字叫懷疑。一旦看見他趕緊通知警察，一定讓他們遠離孩子，因為他是被通緝的謀殺犯。他殺過的夢想，比失敗還多。他戴著各種假面四處穿梭，像個病毒侵蝕你、分裂你，漸漸的，你凡事都帶著「有點」的影子。

See kinda is lethal. You know what kinda is? There is a lot of kinda people, you kinda want a career change, you kinda want to get straight A』s, you kinda want to get in shape. Simple math, no numbers to crunch. If you kinda want something, then you will kinda get the results you want.

「有點」是致命的。你了解「有點」嗎？世界上有很多凡事都帶著「有點」的人，你只是「有點」想改變職業，你只是「有點」想變優秀，你只是「有點」想健身塑形。這是道很簡單的數學題，連數字都不用。如果你只是「有點」想做到某事，那你想要的結果對你來說，也只是「有點」的程度。

What is your dream? What ignites that spark. You can』t kinda want that, you got to want it with every part of your whole heart. Will you struggle? Yeah, yeah… you will struggle, no way around it. You will fall many times, but who』s counting? Just remember, there』s no such thing as a smooth mountain.

什麼才是你的夢想？是什麼點燃了心火？你不能只是有點，你需要全身心的投入。這會很艱難嗎？是，是的……或許會艱難，你肯定要奮鬥，沒有捷徑可走。你也許會失敗很多次，但是誰在乎呢？你只需明白，沒有哪座巍峨的山是平坦的，沒有平坦的山。

If you want to make it to the top then, there are sharp ridges that have to be stepped over. There will be times you get stressed and things you get depressed over. But let me tell you something. Steven Spielberg was rejected from film school three times, three times but he kept going.

如果你想登頂，你就得征服陡峭的山脊。也許有時你會驚慌焦慮，甚至沮喪失望。但是讓我告訴你一些事，史蒂文·斯皮爾伯格（美國著名導演）被電影學院拒絕了整整三次，三次，但他堅持了，依舊前行。

The television execs fired Oprah said she was unfit for TV but she kept going. Critics told Beyoncé that she couldn』t sing she went through depression. But she kept going.

美國電視台曾經開除過奧普拉（著名美國主持人）且說她不上鏡，但她堅持了，依舊前行。碧昂斯（美國天后級歌手）曾被樂評人斷言她不適合唱歌，她曾經還患上了抑鬱症，但是她堅持了，依舊前行。

Struggle and criticisms are prerequisites for greatness. That is the law of this universe and no one escapes it. Because pain is life but you can choose what type? Either the pain on the road to success or the pain of being haunted with regret.

抗爭和承受批判是向卓越成就進發的先決條件。這是存於世間的法則，沒有人能置身事外。因為痛苦是人生的一部分，但你可以選擇它的方向，是通向成功的苦痛，還是抱憾終身的痛苦？

You want my advice. Don』t think twice.

你想聽聽看我的建議嗎？不要猶豫。

We have been given a gift that we call life.So don』t blow it. You』re not defined by your past instead you were born anew in each moment. So own it now.

我們生而有一份珍貴的禮物，它叫人生。所以別糟蹋它。過去已成但它無法定義現在，你永遠活在現在，每一刻都是新生。所以，把握當下，活在當下。就現在。

Sometimes you』ve got to leap. And grow your wings on the way down. You better get the shot off before the clock runs out because there is ain』t no over time in life, no do over. And I know what sound like I』m preaching on speaking with force but if you don』t use your gift then you sell not only yourself, but the whole world.

有時你得先學會跳躍，才能在下落時順利舒展你漸豐的羽翼。你最好在時鐘走完前能擲出手中的球，因為人生沒有加時賽，結束就結束了。我知道我聽起來就像一直在嘮嘮叨叨的說教。但是你若不善用你的禮物，那麼你不僅看輕了自己，也看低了這個世界。

So what invention that you have buried in your mind? What idea?What cure? What skill did you have inside to bring out to this universe?

時間如白駒過隙，你心中還埋藏著哪些思想的火花？你有什麼樣的構思？什麼樣的對策？什麼樣的能力想要帶到這個人間？

Uni meaning one, verse meaning song, you have a part to play in this song.So grab that microphone and be brave. Sing your heart out on life』s stage. You cannot go back and make a brand new beginning. But you can start now and make a brand new ending.

人意味著個體，人間意味著樂章，每個人都能演繹獨屬於他的歌。所以勇敢的，緊握住屬於自己的麥克風。在生命的舞台上，迸發出內心的聲音吧。人生無法重來，你不能回到過去重新開局。但是你可以從現在開始，創造一個全新的結局。

步步向生，時時可死

不忘初心，方得始終
