Great Minds Don't Always Think Alike

科學先驅•不同凡響

In 1643, Isaac Newton was born into a poor family. Newton eventually paid for his schooling by cleaning wealthier students' rooms. Newton discovered that he loved science and math, though he was only an average student. Therefore, it was amazing that he completed a graduate degree at the University of Cambridge and then developed original scientific theories. He explained the movement of the planets and proved that white light is actually made up of all the colors in the rainbow. Most famously, Newton also identified gravity after an apple fell out of a tree and hit him on the head. He even contributed to a new form of mathematics, calculus, which allowed mathematicians to understand the nature of space, time, and motion.

1643年時，艾薩克•牛頓在一個貧窮的家庭出生了。牛頓最終靠著打掃家境比較好的學生的房間來支付他的學費。牛頓發現他愛上了科學與數學，雖然他只是個表現普通的學生。因此，令人驚奇的是，他居然能在劍橋大學完成研究所的學位並發展出原創的科學理論。他解釋了行星的運行，並證實了白光其實是由彩虹裡的所有顏色所組成的。牛頓最著名的是，他因為一顆蘋果從樹上掉下來砸到他的頭後而發現了萬有引力。他甚至促成了微積分這種新式數學，而微積分也讓數學家們了解到空間、時間以及運動的本質。

“Don’t wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions. So what. Get started now. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident and more and more successful.”

– Mark Victor Hansen, Motivational Writer

「不要等到所有事情都剛剛好，它們永遠不會完美。永遠都將有挑戰、阻礙及不盡完美的條件。所以呢，現在就開始。每當你走一步，你將變得愈來愈強，愈來愈熟練，愈來愈有自信，及愈來愈成功。」– 馬克‧維克多‧韓森 (勵志作家)

• “just right” 是「剛剛好；適切的」。第二句的 “it” 代表第一句的 “everything” (屬單數)，但在翻譯時改為複數”它們”較為通順。”skilled” 是「有技能的；熟練的」，為形容詞。
• 馬克‧維克多‧韓森 (1948- ) 為美國勵志作家、演說家及教練，與 Jack Canfield 為暢銷書《心靈雞湯》系列書籍的共同創辦人。

“To me, the definition of focus is knowing exactly where you want to be today, next week, next month, next year, then never deviating from your plan. Once you can see, touch and feel your objective, all you have to do is pull back and put all your strength behind it, and you’ll hit your target every time.”

「對我來說，專注的定義是確切知道你今天、下週、下個月及明年會在哪裡，絕不偏離你的計劃。一旦你能看到、摸到及感受你的目標，你唯一需要做的是退後一步、把你所有的力氣放在那願景之後，你將每次都達到目標。」– 布魯斯‧傑納 (運動員)
