Stick with Your Own Business --Epictetus 堅守你自己的事 Keep your attention focused entirely on what is truly your own concern and be clear that what belongs to others is their business and none of yours. If you do this, you will be impervious to coercion and no one can ever hold you back. You will be truly free and effective, for your efforts will be put to good use and won’t be foolishly squandered finding fault with or opposing others. 將你的注意力完全集中在真正與你有關的事,要弄清楚別人的事是別人的,與你無關。如果你這麼做,你就不會被迫去做不願做的事,也沒有人能阻止你去作自己想做的事。你將真正自由且實在,因為你會善用努力而不會愚蠢地浪費在挑別人的毛病或與人作對。 In knowing and attending to what actually concerns you, you cannot be made to do anything against your will; others can’t hurt you, you don’t incur enemies or suffer harm. 了解並從事真正有關你自己的事,你不會被迫去做違背自己意願的事;別人無法傷害你,你不會招來敵人或痛苦的傷害。 If you aim to live by such principles, remember that it won’t be easy: you must give up some things entirely, and postpone others for now. You may well have to forgo wealth and power if you want to assure the attainment of happiness and freedom. 如果你打算依據這樣的原則生活,要記得那可不是一件容易的事:有些事情你當下就必須完全放棄,有些則必須推遲。如果確實想要獲得快樂與自由,你很可能就得放棄財富或權力。
