第一章 活在“只有今天的密封舱里”
1 Live in “Day-tight Compartments”
In the spring of 1871, a young man picked up a book and read
twenty-one words that had a profound effect on his future. A
medical student at the Montreal General Hospital, he was worried
about passing the final examination, worried about what to do,
where to go, how to build up a practice, how to make a
living.
The twenty-one words that this young medical student read in 1871
helped him to become the most famous physician of his generation.
He organised the world-famous Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. He
became Regius Professor① of Medicine at Oxford—the highest honour
that can be bestowed upon any medical man in the British Empire. He
was knighted② by the King of England. When he died, two huge
volumes containing 1,466 pages were required to tell the story of
his life.
His name was Sir William Osier③. Here are the twenty-one words that
he read in the spring of 1871—twenty-one words from Thomas Carlyle
that helped him lead a life free from worry: “Our main business is
not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies
clearly at hand. ”
Forty-two years later, on a soft spring night when the tulips were
blooming on the campus, this man, Sir William Osier, addressed the
students of Yale University. He told those Yale students that a man
like himself who had been a professor in four universities and had
written a popular book was supposed to have “brains of a special
quality”. He declared that that was untrue. He said that his
intimate friends knew that his brains were “of the most mediocre④
character”.
What, then, was the secret of his success? He stated that it was
owing to what he called living in “daytight compartments.” What did
he mean by that?
A few months before he spoke at Yale, Sir William Osier had crossed
the Atlantic on a great ocean liner where the captain standing on
the bridge⑤, could press a button and—presto⑥!—there was a clanging
of machinery and various parts of the ship were immediately shut
off from one another—shut off into watertight compartments. “Now
each one of you,” Dr. Osier said to those Yale students, “is a much
more marvelous organisation than the great liner, and bound on a
longer voyage. What I urge is that you so learn to control the
machinery as to live with ‘day-tight compartments’ as the most
certain way to ensure safety on the voyage. Get on the bridge, and
see that at least the great bulkheads⑦ are in working order. Touch
a button and hear, at every level of your life, the iron doors
shutting out the Past—the dead yesterdays. Touch another and shut
off, with a metal curtain, the Future—the unborn tomorrows. Then
you are safe—safe for today! Shut off the past! Let the dead past
bury its dead... Shut out the yesterdays which have lighted fools
the way to dusty death... The load of tomorrow, added to that of
yesterday, carried today, makes the strongest falter①. Shut off the
future as tightly as the past... The future is today... There is no
tomorrow. The day of man’s salvation is now. Waste of energy,
mental distress, nervous worries dog the steps of a man who is
anxious about the future... Shut close, then the great fore and
aft② bulkheads, and prepare to cultivate the habit of life of
‘day-tight compartments’. ”
1871年春天，一个年轻人拿起一本书，读了21个单词，就是这21个单词对他的未来产生了深远的影响。他是蒙特利尔综合医院的医科学生，正在为自己通不过期终考试发愁，也为自己该何去何从、如何创业、如何谋生感到担心。
1871年，这个年轻的医科学生读到的21个单词，帮助他成为同辈人中最著名的医师。他创办了闻名世界的约翰斯?霍普金斯医学院。他成为牛津大学医学院的钦定讲座教授——这是大英帝国能够授予任何一个学医者的最高荣誉。他还被英国国王册封为爵士。
他去世时，人们用厚达1466页的两大卷书来讲述他的生平故事。
他的名字就是威廉?奥斯勒爵士。1871年春天，他读到的21个单词是托马斯?卡莱尔所写的21个字，帮助他过着远离忧虑的生活：“我们的主要任务不是好高骛远，而是要着眼于眼前。”
42年后的一个春天，夜色温柔，郁金香在校园里怒放，这位威廉?奥斯勒爵士在耶鲁大学发表了一次演讲。他告诉耶鲁的学子们，他曾在四所大学当过教授，写过一本受欢迎的书，应该拥有“特殊的头脑”。但他却说事实并非如此,自己的好朋友们都知道，他的大脑是“最普通不过了”。
那么，他成功的秘密是什么呢？他说，这都归功于他所说的“生活在今天的密封舱里”。他这话是什么意思呢？
就在来耶鲁演讲的几个月前，威廉?奥斯勒爵士乘坐一艘巨轮横渡大西洋。船长站在驾驶台上，只要按下按钮，眨眼间就会传来一阵机器的叮当声，轮船的各个部分会立即隔开，形成一个个的防水舱。奥斯勒博士对那些耶鲁的学生说道：“你们每个人都是比巨轮要奇妙得多的有机体，前程更加漫长。我强烈要求大家学会控制这些机器，生活在‘今天的密封舱里’，这才是确保航程万无一失的最佳方法。站在驾驶台上，你要保证，至少那些庞大的防水壁都能正常运转。按下一个按钮，你会听到，在你生活的每一个层面，铁门将过去——已经逝去的昨天——挡在门外。按下另一个按钮，用铁门将未来——还未到来的明天——挡在门外。之后你就安全了——今天安全了！将过去关在外面！让逝去的过去自我埋葬……将给傻子照亮了死亡之路的昨天关在门外……明天的重担加上昨天的负荷，今天来承担，让最强壮的人也步履蹒跚。正如把过去紧紧关在门外一样，把未来也关在门外……未来就是今天……没有明天。人类的救赎日就是今天。精力的浪费、精神的痛苦、紧张的忧虑，都会缠上一个为未来焦虑的人……那么就把从船头到船尾的隔舱关紧，准备养成一种‘生活在今天的密封舱里’的生活习惯吧。”
