When an archer is shooting for fun
he has all his skill.
If he shoots for a brass buckle
he is already nervous.
If he shoots for a prize of gold
he goes blind
or sees two targets –
he is out of his mind.
His skill has not changed,
but the prize divides him.
He cares.
He thinks more of winning
than of shooting –
and the need to win
drains him of power.

| Go to the market and see people who are after gold. They are blind. Gold blinds men as nothing else does, gold covers the eyes completely. When you are too anxious for success, too anxious for the result, too ambitious, when you are too anxious for the gold medal, then you are blind and you start seeing two targets. You are so drunk you start seeing double... --Osho The Empty Boat, ch. 6 |

| 需要去赢 当一个射手为乐趣而射击的时候， 他的技术发挥很好。 当他为铜牌射击时， 他已经紧张了。 如果他为金奖射击 他就变成了瞎子。 或者看见两个靶子-- 他魂不守舍。 他的技术并未改变， 但奖赏把他分裂了。 他在意。 他对赢比射击相得更多-- 需要去赢 夺走了他的力量。 |
