使自己成为伟大的人
Be A Great Man Yourself, the World Will be Great

“自由人”对抗“中国人”序列
"Free Beings" vs. "Chinese" Series

陈凯一语：Kai Chen's Words:

"Only the good and the real can be great. It takes a great man to recognize greatness; it takes a small man to deny greatness. To recognize greatness around you is to allow yourself to be great; to deny greatness around you is to deny and destroy your own greatness. True greatness, like goodness, will manifest itself no matter what. Be brave and prepared to be great yourself, if you don't see any greatness around you."

只有真实的和道德的才可能是伟大的。 只有人的伟大才能去承认伟大本身；一个小人往往去否认伟大。 承认你存在周围的伟大其实是允许你自身伟大的可能；否认你存在周围的伟大其实是否认与毁灭你自身伟大的可能 。 真正的伟大就像真正的天良一样，不论如何都会闪亮发光。 如果你的周围充满了渺小，拿出勇气，做好准备去表现你自身的伟大。

China has never been a great country. Mao has never been a great man. They have never been such because they have never been real and never been good.

I have never believed that small, evil and despicable men can create a great country. I have always beieved that only great individuals can create a great country. If you ever expect China to be great, be great yourself. If you ever expect China to be free, be free yourself. If you ever expect China to have a hope, be hopeful yourself... You are the one who creates your own tomorrow. You are the one who creates your own fate and destiny. Don't be afraid to be great, and don't be afraid of the responsibilities that come with your greatness. Shed your "small man" mentality, manifest your greatness. It is in you, it is in everyone of us. It is always there. Only you are too timid to admit it, or too reluctant to recognize it. But without you showing your greatness, how can the world be great?!

“自由的代价是相当大的，但自由的可贵是无价的。”
"The price of freedom is huge; but freedom itself is priceless."

你真想自由吗？ 你就一定要有自由人必有的勇气。 你就一定要战胜你心中的恐惧感去面对真实。 “只有追求真实才能使你得到自由。”

你真想自由吗？ 你就一定要在灵魂中建立真实的信仰 – 相信世界上有真实、有爱、有尊严，相信正义一定会战胜邪恶，真实一定会暴露虚假，自由一定会击垮奴役，爱一定会超越仇恨。

你真想自由吗？ 你的上苍就就一定是解放人的，有宽容与爱的，勇敢探索挑战未知的，引导人走向幸福、欢乐、创造与希望的；你的上苍就绝不会是恐吓人的、威胁人的、惩罚人的、扭曲人的与奴役人的。

你真想自由吗？ 你就一定要认知自身的原弊而决不能将自己视为神，或视为他人的依附与主宰。 你的自知与不断的自我发掘是你永远追求自由的先决。

你真想自由吗？ 你就一定不要灭绝与贬低你自身的伟大、价值与美德，也绝不要允许任何人灭绝与贬低你自身来自上苍的独特的品质与特质。

你真想自由吗？ 你就一定不要停止对未知的探求，对未来的憧憬，对自身的认知。 你就一定不能在知识上设置任何禁区。

你真想自由吗？ 你就一定不要说谎，特别是不要对自己说谎。 你就一定不要造假并为自己的方便与走捷径而制造幻觉。 你就一定要永远追求真实，不管真实使你痛苦或快乐，不管真实把你带向何处。

你真想自由吗？ 你就一定不要相信“和谐”、“繁荣”、“统一”、“民族”、“大家”、“族群”、“国家”等虚无的伪价值并为此保持沉默，空喊口号，为群害人，为强权与争权而行为说话。

你真想自由吗？ 你就一定要用对自身的发掘与努力去创造价值与他人交流/交换，而决不能用精明去讨好多数，献媚强权，取益他人而不择手段地去偷、抢、骗取价值。

你真想自由吗？ 你就一定不能期待个体财产与成就的平等；你就一定不能指望一个绝对平安/安定的生活；你就绝对不能幻想有什么“世界和平”，“世界大同”，“人间天堂”。

你真想自由吗？ 你就一定要建立真实的个体认同而绝不允许他人与群体/家庭将你的个体价值放置在它们的框框盒子里。 那些想要用虚假的“确定感”消灭/否认真实的独特的个体认同的人既不会有“确定感”也不会得到自由与真实的幸福。

你真想自由吗？ 你就一定要勇于承担风险与犯错的代价： 人生最大的危险是不去承担风险；人生最大的错误是因为害怕犯错误而无所作为。

你真想自由吗？ 你就一定要“是人”而绝不要去“做人”。 “是人”（Human Being）是因为你是上苍所创而具有你自身特殊的意义与实质。 “做人/奴”（Human/Slave Molding）则是要你遵循人造的伦理/礼去消灭/否认你的上苍赋予的特质与实质。

你真想自由吗？ 你就一定要有自尊（self-esteem）并给予你的家人与他人“是人”(Human Being)的尊严。 你自身的自由与尊严是你尊重家人与他人的自由与尊严的必要前提。

你真想自由吗？ 你就一定要选择使用你自由的工具与武器。 竹篮子是打不起水来的。 客观的语言与词汇是认知真实一个必须。 英文是最好的工具选择。 中文只能作为你的艺术爱好。

伟大的自强人
The Left Only Creates the Weak

价值一语： Words of Value:

Being strong does not mean being strong in a physical sense. It means in a spiritual, mental sense and in terms of a person's character. One who is indomitable in facing life's obstacles is our hero, for he or she is the truly strong. --- Kai Chen

强者并不意味着生理上的强壮。 强者意味着人在精神，头脑，与品质上的强。 一个绝不被生活中的挫折所压倒的不屈不挠的人是真正的强者和英雄。 --- 陈凯

Good nature is worth more than knowledge, more than money, more than honor, to the persons who possess it. --- Henry Ward Beecher

优秀的品质对一个人比知识，金钱，荣誉更重要。 --- Henry Ward Beecher

[size=16]Dear Visitors: [/size]

The liberals and the leftists often claim that they are the ones for the weak and disadvantaged and they are here to save mankind from its own selfishness and cruelty. They are playing God.

The end result of the leftist ideology is that they appeal to human weakness by claiming everyone is weak and helpless. They treasure those who claim to be weak and helpless as their own political base. And they enlarge their political base by creating, in people's mind and spirit, more and more weak and helpless creatures. Being weak, in the end to the leftists, has long be a virtue and something to be desired. As Ayn Rand put it succinctly The socialists would rather spend more energy on the soulless beggers lining up in front of the government buildings, than taking a peek at the starving scientists.

Throughout my contact with people on the left, I always have a distinct feeling that they hate me because who I am -- independent, self-sufficient, clear-minded and strong. I have had no use for the left and the socialists, for they only present themselves as obstacles for individuals like me on their way toward self-fulfillment. The left never believe there is such thing as a real man in the world who does not compromise with the parasites like them. They simply don't believe that there is true happiness. They'd rather believe that everyone is miserable, and true to their words, they are out to create only smallness, weakness and misery.

The only happiness to the left is when they have power and people listen to them. Their happiness is, as everything they have mal-believed, only relative. When you ask them how they live, they always say their lives are OK (driving their BMWs and living in their mansions), they are only concerned about others' misfortune. They are only out to save others. While they advocate limitless increase in taxation, they put their underwears as donated items for tax deduction. What a bunch of hypocrites! Everything about the left and socialists is intrinsically contradictory. No wonder they worship such witchcraft as "theory of contradiction" and "dialectics".

In sharp contrast, as I have witnessed in America and elsewhere, real people -- strong, free, independent with indomitable spirit, do indeed exist.

Every time I see a person without legs who finished a marathone with his artificial limbs, every time I watch LA marathone's wheelchairpetition, every time I see people with tremendous physical handicap who refuse to give in and live a fulfilled personal life with independence and self-reliance, I will be deeply moved and spiritually elevated. I cannot help but marvel at human resilience and independent spirit. I cannot help but marvel at human strength and greatness. These are the real human beings, not whining, crying, helpless and miserable creatures (victims of their own environment and circumstances) the left promt up as their power base and heros.

The other day I watched a show "That's Incredible", in which a British woman who lost both of her arms manages to have both of her career and her family. She simply just learned to use her feet to do everything -- driving, cooking, usingputers, changing diapers for her baby. I was deeply touched by her heroic mind-set and her tenacity to ovee life's tragedies. She has be the master of her own life, not the victim of it. She has be my hero.

People like this woman with her heroics are everywhere. They inspire us and raise our spirit. Yet in the leftist media, you seldom hear people like her. What you hear is earful ofplaints from the mentally and spiritually weak about life. What you hear is how government should step in as God to save these people. What pathetic beings and what a miserable existence!

What kind of heros do you have in your own mind? That may well tell what kind of person you are. I challenge you to identify yourself in your own consciousness -- left or right.

Best. Kai Chen 陈凯
