不可征服：表现自我领导力的一首诗
Invictus
不可征服
这是英国诗人 William Ernest Henley1875年创作的一首诗，是其“生与死”组诗中的第四首，原本无题，后被收入The Oxford Book of English Verse时，编辑为此加上此题，为拉丁语，意为“"unconquered”。Out of the night that covers me,笼罩着我的黑夜之外，
Black as the pit from pole to pole,幽黑一层接着一层。
I thank whatever gods may be我感谢无论什么神怪，
For my unconquerable soul.给我不屈的心灵。
In the fell clutch of circumstance在跌入被控制的环境里，
I have not winced nor cried aloud.我从不蜷缩也绝不哭诉。
Under the bludgeonings of chance面对命运的当头痛击，
My head is bloody, but unbowed.我流着血却不低头颅。
Beyond this place of wrath and tears不仅此地满是悲愤与泪水，
Looms but the Horror of the shade,恐惧的阴霾也不断笼集，
And yet the menace of the years经年不断的威胁相随，
Finds and shall find me unafraid.始终会发现我无所畏惧。
It matters not how strait the gate,无论多么狭窄的生门，
How charged with punishments the scroll,不管承受怎样的惩创，
I am the master of my fate;我都是我命运的主人，
I am the captain of my soul.我都是我灵魂的船长。
这首诗因为最后两句而影响深远，这两句被广泛引用，也被一众名人引用，其中包括FD罗斯福总统、曼德拉、网球明星阿加西等等，甚至以此拍摄了一部关于曼德拉以此诗激励南非橄榄球队的电影。
因为这两句诗非常典型地表现出了一种自我领导力。这首诗的作者12岁患骨结核，左腿被截肢，成年后长期饱受骨结核等病痛折磨，但依然成为著名编辑、作家。当年的他才写下这样的诗句。
不过，维多利亚时代的作家大多有些或厚或薄的帝国主义思想，因为那时的应该是天朝一样的英国。
所以，自我领导力也需要警惕被各种主义所裹胁。
其实就如同这两句诗也被一个反社会人士Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh 等人引用一样，自我领导力具有两面性。
Wiki介绍其影响力如下：
