真正的自信是無條件的

世人的自信，建立在自己的外貌、體格、財富、權位、成就或粉絲數量之上。

你擁有的越多，越擔心失去。

患得患失的自信不是真的自信，是做給別人看的。

真正的自信源於一種頓悟：我自完美。

下面是我的尚未出版的一書的序：

In his last breath, the King told his teenage son, “You can only inherit the throne if you find the crown that went missing on the day your were born."

The prince went to consult the wisest elder in the kingdom, who told the Mountain God’s daughter had long ears, and she might have heard something.

In the heart of the Blue Mountains, the Mountain God told the prince: “Bring me the heart of the water dragon."

The prince defeated the pirates on the Great Lakes, and they took him everywhere on their lizard boats. After three years in search, he found the seven-headed dragon and slaughtered him.

The daughter of the Mountain God told the prince that the wizard of the Barbarian King knew who stole the crown. The Barbarian King was the archenemy of the prince’s father. The prince amassed a big army and fought a twenty-year war with the King. Finally, when the King was defeated for the seventh time, he surrendered his wizard to the prince.

The wizard told the prince that he had a vision of the person who stole the crown, a sailor named Armeed in the Remote Kingdom. He had a snake tattoo on his right arm and a dagger on his left.

The prince set sail across the Vast Ocean. His ship sank in a storm, and he drifted to an island, where the islanders sold him to the Yaminians as a slave. He worked hard labor for nine years before he was able to flee to the Remote Kingdom.

Two years later, he found Armeed. When the retired seaman knew the identity of the visitor, he called out his wife, who kneeled in front of the prince.

“I was maid in the palace. I stole the crown while all converged on the nursery when you were born, but the guards found out and searched everyone, so I slipped into your room and hid the crown in the oak box before I fled with Armeed’s ship."

The prince rushed back to his palace. His servants could hardly recognize him. His hair was sparse and grey, and his face full of wrinkles and battle scars. The bust of his father had been sitting on that dark oak box in his own bedroom ever since he could remember. No one ever realized that it could be opened by pushing a hidden button from below.

He had the statue removed, and opened the lid with trembling hands.

There was the crown.

Just like this crown, which was a lid away from the prince all his life, enlightenment, which means true freedom and end of suffering, is inside you ever since you were born,  just a decision away.

However, for most of us, it takes a long journey, sometimes life-long or even lives-long, to realize it.

臨終前，國王對他十三歲的兒子說：

“只有找到你出生那天丟失的王冠，你才能繼承王位。”

王子去請教王國裡最博學的長老，長老告訴他，山神的女兒耳朵很長，她可能聽到了什麼。

在藍山的深處，山神對王子說：“我要水龍的心。”

王子在五大湖擊敗了海盜，海盜們帶著他乘坐蜥蜴船到處遊歷。經過三年的尋找，他找到並殺死了七頭龍。

山神的女兒告訴王子，蠻王的巫師知道是誰偷走了王冠。蠻王是王子父親的宿敵。

於是王子集結了一支大軍，與蠻王進行了二十年的戰爭。最後，當蠻王第七次被擊敗時，他將巫師交給了王子。 巫師告訴王子，他在幻像中看到了偷走王冠的人，一個現在遙遠王國的名叫阿米德的水手。他的右臂上紋有一條蛇，左臂上紋有一把匕首。

王子揚帆遠渡大海。他的船在暴風雨中沉沒，他漂流到一個島上，島民把他賣給亞米尼亞人當奴隸。他做了九年苦役，才逃到遙遠的王國。 兩年後，他找到了名叫阿米德的水手。

當這位退休水手知道來人的身分後，他從內室中叫出了自己的妻子。她跪在了王子麵前：

“我是您宮裡的侍女，您出生的那夜，趁所有人都聚集在育嬰室，我偷了王冠。但衛兵發現了，到處搜查，所以我溜進您的房間，把王冠藏在了橡木盒子裡，然後就隨阿米德的船逃走了。 ”

王子急忙跨過千山萬水回到自己的宮殿。他的僕人幾乎認不出他來了。他的頭髮稀疏花白，臉上佈滿皺紋和疤痕。從他記事起，他父親的半身像就一直放在他自己臥室裡那個深色橡木盒子上，從來沒有人意識到這個盒子有個暗室，按一下底部隱藏的按鈕，就可以打開。

王子把雕像移開，用顫抖的手打開蓋子。

王冠就在裡面！

就像這頂王冠一生都在王子身邊，只有一蓋之隔，開悟，就是真正的自由和痛苦的結束，從你出生之日起，就一直藏在你的內心，與你只隔著一個決定。

然而，對我們大多數人來說，要看見內心所藏的這個王冠，需要一段漫長的旅程，有時甚至是一生。

一旦你發現了它，即使你上無片瓦、身無分文、背無寸布、交親散盡，你仍然明白自己完美無缺。

拿走你的一切，拿不走你一分完美，給你整個世界，無增你任何滿足。

你所需要的，就是一個簡單的決定：我決定不再受苦。
