一七一 天 职
大师虽乐于看到科技的进步，却也清楚意识到它的限度。
当一位企业家问起他的职业，他答道：「我从事人类企业。」
「那算什么企业？」企业家问。
「就以你为例，」大师说：「你致力于制造优良产品，我致力于生产优良人类。」
后来大师告诉弟子：「生活的意义就是造就人类。可是现代人好像只关心改良产品。」
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.”
