你想過(guò)沒(méi)有梳庆?我們想出名暖途,想成為作家卑惜、詩(shī)人、畫(huà)家驻售、政治家露久、歌唱家,或其他夢(mèng)想角色欺栗。這是為什么毫痕?因?yàn)槲覀兏緵](méi)有真正愛(ài)當(dāng)下的工作。如果你愛(ài)唱歌迟几,愛(ài)畫(huà)畫(huà)消请,愛(ài)寫(xiě)詩(shī),如果你真心熱愛(ài)类腮,那么你就不會(huì)介意自己出名與否臊泰。想出名,是世俗浮華蚜枢,小器而愚蠢缸逃,毫無(wú)意義。但因?yàn)槲覀儾粣?ài)自己手頭的事厂抽,所以沽名釣譽(yù)需频,來(lái)充實(shí)自己。我們當(dāng)下的教育已經(jīng)腐敗不堪筷凤,因?yàn)樗偨涛覀儛?ài)慕成功昭殉,而不是熱愛(ài)當(dāng)下的工作,所以嵌施,結(jié)果變得更為重要饲化,超過(guò)了行動(dòng)本身。
你知道吗伤,隱匿你的鋒芒吃靠,寂而不名,熱愛(ài)手頭的事足淆,而不事炫耀巢块,斯為真善;內(nèi)心仁愛(ài)巧号,不務(wù)虛名族奢,斯為真善。那樣不會(huì)讓你揚(yáng)名丹鸿,不會(huì)讓你的照片榮登報(bào)端越走,不會(huì)有政客名流登門(mén)與你交游。你只是一個(gè)寂然無(wú)名而內(nèi)心創(chuàng)意無(wú)限的人,個(gè)中有生命的豐盛與大美廊敌。

Anonymous Creativity
Have you ever thought about it? We want to be famous as a writer, as a poet, as a painter, as a politician, as a singer, or what you will. Why? Because we really don’t love what we are doing. If you loved to sing, or to paint, or to write poems—if you really loved it—you would not be concerned with whether you are famous or not. To want to be famous is tawdry, trivial, stupid, it has no meaning; but, because we don’t love what we are doing, we want to enrich ourselves with fame. Our present education is rotten because it teaches us to love success and not what we are doing. The result has become more important than the action.
You know, it is good to hide your brilliance under a bushel, to be anonymous, to love what you are doing and not to show off. It is good to be kind without a name. That does not make you famous, it does not cause your photograph to appear in the newspapers. Politicians do not come to your door. You are just a creative human being living anonymously, and in that there is richness and great beauty.
