小人物怎样才能取得大成就?

团结

I smiled again because I once believed and used to say similar things.  Then after holding the smile for a few seconds I said, “On their own, ‘I’ or ‘have’ or ‘a’ or ‘dream’ are just words.  Not very compelling or inspiring.  But when you put them together in a certain order, they create a phrase that has been powerful enough to move millions of people to take action – action that changed laws, perceptions, and lives.  You don’t need to be inspired or emotional to agree with this, do you?”The four kids shrugged and struggled to appear totally indifferent, but I could tell they were listening intently.  “And what’s true for words is also true for people,” I continued.  “One person without help from anyone else can’t do much to make a sizable difference in this crazy world - or to overcome all of the various forms of repression that exist today.  But when people get together and unite to form something more powerful and meaningful then themselves, the possibilities are endless.Together is how mountains are moved.  Together is how small people make a big difference.

我又笑了笑，因为我曾经也这样认为，还常常说类似的话。

        笑容持续了几秒之后，我说道：“分开来看，‘我’、‘有’、‘一个’或者‘梦想’都只是词而已，既不引人注目，也不令人振奋。但是把它们以一定的次序放在一起，就创造了一句力量无比强大的话，激励数百万人采取行动——采取行动改写法律，改变观念，改善生活。你不需要获得启发或者感动才赞同这一点，对吗？”

       这四个孩子耸了耸肩，尽量摆出漠不关心的样子，但我看得出他们听得很认真。“词是这样，人也是这样，”我继续说道。“在这个疯狂的世界，一个人单枪匹马是很难有所成就的，也无法克服当今社会存在的各种形式的压迫。但是如果人们聚到一起，团结起来，就会形成一股更强大，更有意义的力量，从而变得无所不能。”

       团结一致可移山。团结就是小人物取得大成就的秘诀。
