[00:00.00]Topic 50 On Illusion [00:06.64]Some people are committed to their dreams [00:09.46]and work hard to achieve their goals. [00:11.61]What is guiding them is a kind of illusion. [00:14.34]Some people think that illusion [00:16.71]is good for success while others argue [00:19.49]that it is not so good [00:20.80]because it may get people unrealistic. [00:23.09]As far as I am concerned, [00:24.96]illusion is necessary in our life [00:27.43]only if it is encouraging and realistic. [00:30.00]There are several reasons. [00:31.60]First of all, there is power in illusion. [00:34.70]The illusion can lead people to the path [00:37.69]they want to go on and it gives us passion. [00:40.02]We need to live each moment wholeheartedly, [00:43.31]with all our senses [00:44.85]so that we can find pleasure [00:46.65]in the fragrance of backyard garden, [00:48.54]the crayoned picture of a six-year-old, [00:51.57]and the enchanting beauty of a rainbow. [00:53.56]The illusion can be enthusiastic love of life [00:57.19]that puts sparkle in our eyes, [00:59.27]a lilt in our steps [01:01.46]and smoothes the wrinkles from our souls. [01:03.66]Secondly, we are born with wide-eyed, [01:07.30]enthusiastic wonder as anyone knows [01:10.03]who has ever seen an infant’s delight [01:12.17]at the jingle of keys or the scurrying of a beetle. [01:15.66]It is this childlike wonder and illusion [01:19.40]that gives enthusiastic people such a youthful air, [01:23.08]no matter how old they are. [01:25.01]For example, [01:26.56]the famous cellist Pablo Casals [01:29.25]would start his day by playing Bach. [01:31.44]As the music flowed through his fingers, [01:34.18]his stooped shoulders would straighten [01:37.06]and joy would reappear in his eyes. [01:39.04]Music, for him, was an elixir [01:42.09]that made life a never-ending adventure. [01:44.38]As author and poet Samuel Ullman once wrote, [01:47.97]“Years wrinkle the skin, [01:50.06]but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.” [01:53.00]Lastly, people with illusions [01:56.21]also love what they do, [01:57.76]regardless of money or power or title. [02:00.98]If we cannot do what we love [02:03.46]as a full-time career, [02:04.73]we can as do a part-time vocation, [02:07.46]like the head of state who paints, [02:09.69]the nun who runs marathons [02:11.85]and the executive who handcrafts furniture. [02:14.95]We cannot afford to waste tears and energy [02:18.21]and time on “might-have-beens”. [02:20.42]We need to turn the tears into sweat [02:23.00]as we go after “what-can-be”. [02:25.51]To sum up, [02:27.28]God gives each bird its food, [02:28.89]but he does not throw it into its nest. [02:31.07]Wherever you want to go, [02:32.99]just cherish your precious illusion [02:35.24]and let your dream be realized.
