A man walking in the night slipped from a rock. Afraid that he would fall down thousands of feet, because he knew that place was a very deep valley, he took hold of a branch that was hanging over the rock. In the night all he could see was a bottomless abyss. He shouted; his own shout reflected back—there was nobody to hear.
You can imagine that man and his whole night of torture. Every moment there was death; his hands were becoming cold; he was losing his grip…and as the sun came out he looked down and he laughed. There was no abyss. Just six inches down there was a rock. He could have rested the whole night, slept well—the rock was big enough—but the whole night was a nightmare.
I say to you that fear is only six inches deep. Now it is up to you whether you want to go on clinging to the branch and turn your life into a nightmare, or whether you would love to leave the branch and stand on your feet.
There is nothing to fear.
一個人走夜路的時候，跌下了岩石。他害怕自己會跌入萬丈深淵，因為他知道在那個地方有一個很深的峽穀。於是，他緊緊抓住岩石上伸出的一根樹枝。那一夜，他所看到的隻有無底的深淵。他呼喊著救命，但隻有他的聲音在峽穀間回**，那裏根本沒有人。
你能想象得出那個人的處境，以及他整晚承受的痛苦。死亡每一時刻都存在，他的雙手越發冰冷，他即將滑落……太陽出來了，他朝下望去，笑了。哪有什麽深淵！在下麵六英寸的地方就有一塊岩石。他本可以休息一晚，美美地睡上一覺的——那塊岩石足夠寬大——可是整個夜晚卻宛如一場噩夢。
我想對你說的是，恐懼的深度不過六寸。而此時此刻是要繼續吊在樹枝上把生活變為噩夢，還是要鬆開樹枝用腳站起來，完全取決於你。
一切皆無須畏懼。
