《人生中不可不想的事》Think On These Things

第一章谈教育，作者认为教育应该是为了让人获得自由，让人可以从传统、文化、制度的束缚中解脱出来，去自己追求人才各个丰富层面、探索人生真谛的活动。“So the function of education, surely, is to eradicate, inwardly as well as outwardly, this fear that destroys human thought, human relationship and love.”

因为，只有我们不惧怕打破“常规”，敢于去冒险探索人生的时候，我们才会有更了解自己和人生的机会。所以作者说“ where there is fear there is no intelligence.” " To live is to find out for yourself what is true, and you can do this only when there is freedom, when there is continuous revolution inwardly, within yourself.".

如果只是为了过得安稳，按照外界、他人告知的价值观和路径去生活，那如同机器，谈不上探求生命的意义。Living safely generally means living in imitation and therefore in fear. ”

当找到自己真正喜爱的，了解生命的真谛后，不存在占有、没有竞争、不再担忧，而是单纯而纯粹的追求你所喜爱的，享受着为之努力，这件事本身和你追求的过程甚至比结果重要。When you are doing something with your whole being, not because you want to get somewhere, or have more profit, or greater results, but simply because you love to do it - in that there is no ambition, is there? In that there is no competition; you are not struggling with anyone for first place.

Sir, anything truly revolutionary is created by a few who see what is true and are willing to live according to that truth; but to discover what is true demands freedom from tradition, which means freedom from all fears.
