萨古鲁：如何找到你的事业优势？

On this Spot, Sadhguru shares his view on what distinguishes a successful entrepreneur, why insight is more than the sum of ideas, how to set long-term goals that actually create wellbeing, why being enterprising is a most desirable quality in every capacity and all aspects of life, and how Adiyogi illustrated that everything is run by the same fundamentals.

是什么成就一个成功的企业家？为什么洞察力比收集想法更重要？如何设定能带来实际利益的长期目标？为什么有进取心在生命的各个方面都是理想的品质？为什么Adiyogi（第一位瑜伽士）说一切都是基于相同的法则运作着？在本文中，萨古鲁分享了他对如上诸多问题的看法。

Find Your Enterprising Edge 

找到你的事业优势

Sadhguru: We just concluded Isha Insight the other day, with some of India’s finest entrepreneurs and scientists sharing their experience in their fields, for participants to scale up their businesses. But picking up a few ideas is not an insight. Insight means to be able to see something of the inner. Picking up ideas may be useful to run situations a little better. But the fundamental question is this: Do you want to be an archive of other people’s ideas, or do you want to be a living force? If you collect lots of ideas, you may conduct a few processes better than others, but you will not live better – unless your definition of “living better” is only about living better than someone else. Your house, your income, and your car may be bigger than someone else’s, but that is not living better. This does not mean you should not enjoy what you have. You have every right to do so. But if you enjoy something because other people cannot have it, that’s sickness.

Sadhguru（萨古鲁）：我们刚刚在几天前结束了Isha洞察力的课程，课上印度一些最顶尖的企业家和科学家分享了他们在各自领域的经验，来帮助学员扩展他们的商业规模。但是，收集一些想法并不是洞察力。洞察力意味着洞悉内在的能力。收集一些想法可能会对处理一些情况有利，但是根本的问题是：你是想作为他人想法的档案馆还是想成为活生生的力量本身？如果你收集了很多想法，可能在运作某些事上比其他人更好，但你不会活得更好，除非你对“活得更好”的定义仅仅是比别人过得更好而已。你的房子、你的收入和你的车可能比别人更大更多，但那不是活得更好。这并不是说你不该去享受你所拥有的。你完全有权利去享受你所拥有的，但如果仅仅是因为别人无法拥有你才感觉享受，那是病态。

Let your long-term goal be for the life within you – not for your thoughts, not for your emotions, not for society.

让你的长期目标为你内在的生命而设——而不是基于你的想法、你的情感，也不是为了社会。

Insight means to figure out something about yourself. Look at yourself not just on a momentary surface level, but in terms of fundamental realities. Let your long-term goal be for the life within you – not for your thoughts, not for your emotions, not for society. If your goals based on the life within you, it will be good for everyone, because everyone is just a life. On the contrary, if you set your long-term goal based on your personality, then it may be a mess for everyone around. Besides, your personality is a consequence of how you think and feel right now – it is subject to change. That means it cannot be long-term. If you set your long-term goal for the life that you are, it will be wonderful for you and everyone around you.

洞察力意味着洞悉你自己，不只是在短暂的表面，而是看到根本的事实。让你的长期目标为了你内在的生命而设——不是基于你的想法、你的情感，也不是为了社会。如果你的目标是基于你内在的生命，它将有益于每个人，因为每个人就是一个生命。反之，如果你的长期目标只是基于你的个性，它可能会给你周围的每个人带来混乱。此外，你的个性也只是你此刻如何思考与感受的结果，它受制于变化。这意味着它不可能是长期的。如果你为你内在的生命而设定长期目标，它对你和你周围的每个人都将是很美妙的。

In business as in life in general, it is important to know what is within your capacity or not. We had some huge entrepreneurs here with us last week, who literally started their businesses from scratch. Obviously, they did something right, which made them grow. Doing something at the right time is also important. You can’t become another Bill Gates now. He rode the technological wave of that time. Similarly, you can’t build another Infosys now, because that worked at the time of the IT boom. Now there may be something else that will work. But then and now, the fundamentals are the same. The business that you start and the atmosphere that you are in may be different, but as a human being, it takes the same capacity, the same ability to do things. Whether you are a big entrepreneur or a small entrepreneur, you have to do things right to be successful.

在商业中，正如在人生中，很重要的是你需要知道哪些是在你的能力范围之内，哪些是在你的能力范围之外。上周的洞察力课程，来了一些非常知名的企业家，他们是名副其实白手起家的。显然，他们是做对了一些事才使他们壮大。在对的时机做事也很重要。你现在无法成为另一个比尔·盖茨，因为他乘上了他那个时代的科技浪潮。同样地，你现在也无法再建一个印孚瑟斯，因为它的成功得益于IT行业的蓬勃发展。现在可能会有别的事会成功。但不论当时还是现在，本质的东西是相同的。你创业的所在行业和氛围可能不同，但是作为一个人，做事都需要同样的能力。不管你是一个大企业家还是小企业主，只有做对事才能成功。

If you are flapping yours wings well enough, you will fly.

如果你足够好地扇动你的翅膀，你就能飞起来。

Even those who were born with a golden spoon in their mouth have to do something right for their businesses to grow. So, don’t think in terms of whether someone is big or small. In fact, you must make yourself small – that will make you a great entrepreneur. If you could make yourself nothing as a person, it would be too fantastic. Since that’s not possible right now, you should make yourself small. Before the Sapta Rishis, the seven sages, had to leave Adiyogi and go out into the world, they asked him many questions. The final question was this: “You have been continually talking about the nature of this cosmos, how vast it is. How vast is it really?” Adiyogi laughed and said, “I can pack the entire cosmos into a mustard seed.” That’s all it is. Whether it is a small business or a billion dollar industry, all it takes to build and run it is packed into a human being.

即使那些含着金汤匙出生的人也必须做对事才能使他们的商业壮大，所以不要去想着别人是大还是小。实际上，你必须让自己变小——这才会使你成为一个伟大的企业家。如果你能让自己变得什么都不是，那就太美妙了。既然现在这不可能，那就让自己变小。在七贤（Adiyogi，第一位瑜伽士的七位弟子）必须离开他去到世界各地之前，他们问了他很多问题。最后一个问题是：“你一直在谈论这个宇宙有多么广阔，那它到底有多广阔呢？”Adiyogi大笑着说：“我可以把整个宇宙装进一粒芥子中。”就是这样。不论是小生意还是亿万美元的产业，建立并使之运转所需要的就只是把它打包进一个人中。

Whether you are an entrepreneur, an employee, or you are running a family, you still need to be enterprising. If you are running a company, are you looking for people who are enterprising, who will do things beyond what they are scheduled to do and take responsibilities? Or are you looking for people who are just doing their job from nine to five? We may not be running a business, but even in the ashram, we want people who are enterprising, alive, and willing to do things. Being an entrepreneur means to be willing to take on any trouble and to always look for solutions. If you are in that state, you will naturally move upward. But you should not even think about that. Elevation will be natural. If you are flapping yours wings well enough, you will fly. Entrepreneurship is not just about Start-Up but about Fly-Off.

不管你是一个企业家还是雇员，或者你在经营一个家庭，你都需要进取心。如果你在运营一家公司，你是会找有进取心、能把事做得超出预期并愿意承担责任的人呢？还是只会朝九晚五的人？虽然我们不是在做生意，但即使是在静修中心，我们也想要有进取心、有活力并愿意做事的人。成为一个企业家意味着愿意承担任何麻烦并总是寻求解决方案。如果你处在这样的状态中，你自然会上升。但你甚至都不应该有这想法。上升是自然发生的。如果你足够好地扇动你的翅膀，你就能飞起来。企业家精神不只是关于启动，更是关于起飞。
