| [00:01.26]Keep the Trolls Away from your Goals别让小人挡了你的道 [00:04.64]There is a type of crab that cannot be caught [00:09.48]—it is agile and clever enough to get out of any crab trap. [00:13.74]And yet, these crabs are caught by the thousands every day, [00:17.70]thanks to a particular human trait they possess. [00:21.20]The trap is a wire cage with a hole at the top. [00:24.80]Bait is placed in the cage, and the cage is lowered into the water. [00:29.64]One crab comes along, enters the cage, and begins munching on the bait. [00:34.98]A second crab joins him. A third. Crab Thanksgiving. [00:40.15]Eventually, however, all the bait is gone. [00:43.43]The crabs could easily climb up the side of the cage and through the hole, [00:48.05]but they do not. [00:49.25]They stay in the cage. Other crabs come along and join them [00:53.50]—long after the bait is gone. And more. [00:56.93]Should one of the crabs realize there is no further reason to stay in the trap [01:02.05]and attempts to leave, [01:03.48]the other crabs will gang up on him and stop him. [01:06.65]They will repeatedly pull him off the side of the cage. [01:10.29]If he is persistent, the others will tear off his claws to keep him from climbing. [01:15.31]If he persists still, they will kill him. [01:19.05]The crabs—by force of the majority—stay together in the cage. [01:23.74]The cage is hauled up, and it’s dinnertime on the pier. [01:28.36]The chief difference between these crabs and humans [01:31.64]is that these crabs live in water and humans on land. [01:35.24]Anyone who has a dream—one that might get them out of what they perceive to be a trap [01:41.61]— had best beware of the fellow-inhabitants of the trap. [01:45.55]The human crabs (we call them trolls) do not usually use physical force [01:51.80]—although they are certainly not above it. They generally don’t need it, however. [01:57.51]They have more effective methods at hand, and in mouth—doubt, ridicule, sarcasm, humiliation, [02:05.18]and dozen others not listed in our dictionary. [02:08.57]The point is to manage to keep the trolls away from your goals. |
