特别广播英语第 191 课：Let Your Mind Wander 让头脑畅想-4

Henry J. Kaiser maintained that "you can imagine your future," and he believed that a great part of his business success was due to positive use of daydreams. 亨利·J·凯泽坚持说："你能想象你的未来。"他相信他的大部分商业成功是由于幻想的作用。

Harry S. Truman said that he used daydreaming for rest. Conrad Hilton dreamed of operating a hotel when he was a boy. 哈利·S·杜鲁门说他利用幻想来休息。当他还是小男孩时，康拉德·希尔顿就幻想经营一家旅馆，

He recalled that all his accomplishments were first realized in his imagination. 他回忆他所有的成功都是首先在他的想象中意识到的。

"Great living starts with a picture, held in some person's imagination, of what he would like someday to do or be. "伟大的生活开始于人们想象中的图画，这就是有一天他愿意去做的事或成为的样子。

Florence Nightingale dreamed of being a nurse. Edison pictured himself an inventor; all such characters escaped the mere push of circumstance by imagining a future so vividly that they headed for it." 弗洛伦斯o南丁格尔想做一名护士，爱迪生反自己描绘成发明家，所有这些人都通过生动形象的想象未来为之追求，从不幸压力中解脱出来。"

These are the words of the well-known thinker Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick, and they show that people can literally daydream themselves to success. 这就是著名思想家亨利·爱默森·福斯迪克的话，这些话表明人们简直可以用幻想并使自己成功。

Fosdick, aware of the wonderful power of positive daydreaming, offered this advice: "Hold a picture of yourself long and steadily enough in your mind's eye, and you will be drawn toward it. 福斯迪克意识到幻想的强大力量，提出了这样一条建议："在你心目中，尽量长期并稳定保留你自己的形象，你就会被驱使着向这个方向发展。

Picture yourself vividly as defeated and that alone will make victory impossible. 把自己生动形象地描绘成失败者，仅此便可使胜利成淡泡影。

Picture yourself as winning and that will contribute remarkably to success. 把自己描绘为胜利者，就会极大地有助于成功。
