尼爾遜‧曼德拉的就任講稿
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
by Nelson Mandela 1994, Inaugural Speech
”我們最深沉的恐懼並非害怕自己力有未逮,
我們最深沉的恐懼是害怕自己那強大而無法測量的力量。
使我們驚懼的並非我們的黑暗面,而是我們能展現的光明。
我們詢問自己,我是否是聰慧、美麗、有天賦又令人驚奇的人?
事實上,你認為自己不是什麼呢?
妳是神的孩子。而你畏縮的態度不能服務世界。試圖隱藏自己讓身旁的人們感到自在,更不具任何意義。
我們都該像孩子們一樣閃耀,我們生來就是為了要顯露神給予我們的榮耀。
這份天賦並不只限於特定的人,而是存在於每一個人身上。
當我們發揮自己潛能,便同時無意識地使其他人也感到被允許如此做。
當我們讓自己從恐懼中解放,我們的存在將自動解放其他人。”
