Five Minds for the Future: Mental Building Blocks for the New Century

1.      The disciplined mind also knows how to work steadily over time to improve skill and understanding—in the vernacular , it is highly disciplined. Without at least one discipline under his belt , the individual is destined to march to someone else’s tune .

    训练有素的大脑也知道如何稳定的工作，随着时间的推移来改善技能和认知，用白话说，它是高度训练有素的。没有至少一种准则在胸中，个体不可避免的会被他人误导。

2.      The disciplined mind masteredat least one way of thinking – a distinctive mode of cognition thatcharacterizes a specific scholarly discipline , craft, or profession .

    有纪律的头脑至少掌握一种思考方式—一种与众不同的认知，使一种明确的学术性规律，手艺或者专业变得有特点。

3.      The synthesizing mind takesinformation from disparate sources , understands and evaluates that informationobjectively, and puts it together in ways that make sense to the synthesizerand also to other persons .

    综合性大脑从不同的来源获取信息，客观的理解和评估信息，并且用某种方式把它组织起来使得信息对综合者本人和其他人有意义。

4.      By virtue of its anchoring interritory that is not yet rule-governed , the creating mind seeks to remain atleast one step ahead of even the most sophisticated computers and robots .

    通过它的固定在还没有被支配的领域的长处，有创造性的头脑寻求保持至少一步领先于最复杂的计算机和机器人。

5.      Recognizing that nowadays onecan no longer remain within one’s shell or on one’s home territory , the respectfulmind notes and welcomes differences between human individuals and between humangroups , tries to understand these “others”, and seeks to work effectively withthem .

    认识到现在一个人再也不能呆在他自己的壳里或者自己领域，恭敬的头脑注意并且欢迎个人之间和人群之间的不同，试着去理解这些不同的人，并且寻求高效的和他们工作。

6.      This mind conceptualizes howworkers can serve purpose beyond self-interest and how citizens can workunselfishly to improve the lot of all .
