胸怀与格局（Breadth of Mind and Vision）

The translation is attributed to ChatGPT.

  我们所看到的世界并不总是真实的，它可能存在误解、不完整或不存在的情况。比如，我们看到太阳围绕地球转，但实际上地球围绕太阳转。我们看到满天星，以为这就是整个宇宙，但实际上只是银河系的一个角落。我们看到一颗远在几亿光年外的超新星的亮光，但实际上，它可能已经在几亿年前爆炸成无数尘埃。我们看到的未必是现在，就像我们看到的可爆炸超新星只是它几亿年前的样子。

      What you see may not be true. For example, you may see the sun revolving around the earth, but in reality, it's the earth that revolves around the sun. What you see may not be complete. For instance, you may see the stars in the sky and think that's the entire universe, but it's only a small corner of the Milky Way. What you see may not exist. Consider a supernova that is millions of light-years away and has a lifespan of only a few million years. When you see its light, it may have already exploded into countless dust particles.

  同样地，我们的人生胸怀也是如此。如果我们总是从个人的角度出发，那么我们的想法、行动和成就也只会局限于个人。如果我们从家庭的角度出发，那么我们会照顾好我们的家人。如果我们为社区考虑，我们就会成为社区领袖。如果我们考虑一个城市，我们就会成为好的市长。如果我们从国家民族利益出发，我们就会成为合格的国家领导人。如果我们考虑气候变暖、地区冲突、全球贸易和地区和平等问题，我们就会成为地区甚至全球的领袖。如果我们像马斯克一样，考虑人类的命运和移民火星，或者像天文学家一样，关注地球的灭亡和太阳系的存亡，那么我们的胸怀和格局将变得更加宏大。

      Similarly, a person's worldview is limited by their perspective. When you view things from an individual's perspective, you think, feel, and act in ways that benefit only you. When you view things from a family perspective, you take care of your loved ones. When you consider the community's well-being, you become a community leader. When you think about the interests of a city or nation, you become a responsible leader. If you expand your perspective to include climate change, regional conflicts, global trade, and regional peace, you become a leader in your region or even the world. If you're Elon Musk, you think about the future of humanity and the need to colonize Mars. If you're an astronomer, you consider the Earth's extinction and the survival of the solar system. Your worldview and perspective will broaden if you're like the Hubble or Webster telescopes, which can see deep into space and consider the universe's size, the possibility of extraterrestrial life, the expansion of the universe, when it will end, and whether there is anything beyond it.

  我们虽然只是普通人，但是我们的格局是可以放大的。如果我们每天都花一点时间去思考宇宙，国家，城市，社区和家人，去探索过去、未来和未知，我们的心胸就会变得更加宽广。我们会变得更加宽容、包容。我们可以做到胸怀全宇宙，像哈勃望远镜一样，去探索宇宙的奥秘，感受宇宙的浩瀚和神秘。退一步海阔天空，让有限的生命燃烧就如超新星，虽然短暂却很绚丽，留下一道美丽的光焰。

     Although we are just ordinary people, our vision can be expanded. If we take a little time every day to contemplate the universe, our country, city, community, and family, to explore the past, future, and unknown, our mind will become broader. We will become more tolerant and inclusive. We can embrace the whole universe, like the Hubble Telescope, to explore the mysteries of the cosmos and feel its vastness and mystery. As the saying goes, if we step back, the sea is boundless, and let our limited life burn like a supernova, although short-lived, it will be brilliant, leaving behind a beautiful glow.
