成为一名强者，需要具备哪些特质呢？ Power gets a bad rap, but only because people pursue it for the wrong reasons. When power is pursued for the right reasons, it can be a tremendous force for good. 权力生祸害，但往往是因为追求之人别有用心。如果取之有道，就能受益无穷。 Niccolo Machiavelli spread the belief that people can only become powerful by exploiting the worst aspects of human nature. One of this teachings was, “A wise ruler ought never to keep faith when by doing so it would be against his interests.” Machiavelli was essentially saying that you’re an idiot if you keep your promises or stick to your values when you’d benefit more by breaking them. 马基雅弗利曾经宣称：人类欲当权，必取于性之本恶。一句教条便是“统治者无法信教，因为这和对权力的追逐互为矛盾”本意为，若有所信仰却总为利益将其打破，那么与傻子无异。 Not only did we hear it from Machiavelli, but also from plenty of voices in our own time, such as RobertGreene, who said, “The key to power is the ability to judge who is best able to further your interests in all situations.” It’s no wonder so many people think that the only way to get power is to be a jerk. 不仅他如是说，当代之同道者亦比比皆是。如罗伯特·格林所言“权力来源于无论何处境都可将利益最大化的能力”如此，人们多认为只有无良可夺权也在情理之中。 |
