What is "Security"?
读书看到这么一段，顿悟.谨希望对大家有所启发。

Secuity
Many people say they work to have security. What exactly does that mean? Security is a false motivator. There are no guarantees in life itself, much less in sales; thus, there is no such thing as security. In fact, you are only as secure as your ability to handle insecurity. Webster says that security is freedom from danger, freedom from fear and anxiety, or freedom from want or deprivation. If that's the case, then none of us has ever been totally secure. I don't care how successful you are. you have experienced fear and want somewhere along the way. Fear and want can even motivate you to achieve. So it isn't the state of being free of these feelings that contributes to security, but rather how we deal with the insecurities that confront us. The key to getting what you want may be the ability to give up what you have. Look at this a little closer. If you are bound and determined that you will never take a chance to further your career, then you may as well get out of sales right you have, then keep it; resign yourself to the knowledge that you will never go much farther up the ladder of success.
Most famous and powerful people who have acquired a great deal of
security or money have also lost as much (if not more) than they have
made. The difference between them and the average worker is that
theywere willing to take the chance in order to become all that they
could be, while average worker is not willing to take the necessary risks.
... You may wonder how you ever find security! Actually, with whatever
semblance of security you ever find will come the knowledge that you
create you own destiny. ...

可能不同的人对安全有不同的定义，也有不同的需求程度。对于还生活在半原始社会的牧区的藏族人来说，只要自己养的牦牛产出的牛奶足以维持他们的生计，就是安全的，而对于炒股的人来说，大概股市如他所料，平稳的话，就是安全。对于热恋的人来说，相互爱慕，海誓山盟，大概是安全。我只是猜测而已。不过，村长大人，在这里，其实我觉得，用中国人的一句话可以解释所谓的安全，那就是“知足常乐”。其实这个世界那有什么安全？藏族人以为自己的牛够维持生计了，可是八月的草原也会突然变冷，雷雨雪交加，牛养被雷辟，何来安全？股市又哪会总如你所料？一个人又怎么可能不改变？？
既然这个世界没有安全，再追求所谓的安全，也就没有多大的意义了，反而会很累。与其活得那么累，为什么不从恐惧中解脱，笑一笑呢？？
