一七一 天 職
大師雖樂於看到科技的進步，却也清楚意識到它的限度。
當一位企業家問起他的職業，他答道：「我從事人類企業。」
「那算什麼企業？」企業家問。
「就以你為例，」大師說：「你致力於製造優良產品，我致力於生產優良人類。」
後來大師告訴弟子：「生活的意義就是造就人類。可是現代人好像只關心改良產品。」
PRECEDENCE
The Master welcomed the advances of technology but was keenly aware of its
limitations.
When an industrialist asked him what his occupation was, he replied, “I’m in the
people industry.”
“And what, pray, would that be?” said the industrialist.
“Take yourself,” said the Master. “Your efforts produce better things; mine better
people.”
To his disciples he later said. “The aim of life is the flowering of persons. Nowadays
people seem concerned mostly with the perfection of things.”
