Indifference to Fame and Fortune Characterizes a High Aim in Life, and Leading a Quiet Life Helps One Accomplish Something Lasting.
淡泊名利才能明确自己的志向，心神宁静才能达到远大的目标。淡泊：恬淡寡欲，不重名利；宁静：安宁恬静，不为外物所动；致远：到达远处，即实现远大目标。这是古代中国人所追求的自我修养的一种境界，其核心是对待名利的态度。它希望人们不要贪图名利，为名利所累；要始终胸怀远大理想，专心一意地为实现远大理想而努力。
This saying, with the attitude to fame and fortune at its core, refers to a way in which people in ancient China sought to practice self-cultivation. People should not be greedy for fame and fortune and be burdened by such greed. Instead they ought to cherish noble ideals and work heart and soul to achieve them.

◎是故非澹薄无以明德，非宁静无以致远，非宽大无以兼覆，非慈厚无以怀众，非平正无以制断。（《淮南子·主术训》）
（所以，不淡泊名利就不能彰明道德，不心神宁静就不能达到远大目标，不心胸广阔就不能兼蓄并包，不慈爱宽厚就不能安抚大众，不公平中正就不能掌控决断。）
Hence, unless he is indifferent to fame and fortune, he cannot demonstrate his virtue; unless he stays calm and quiet, he cannot reach afar; unless he is magnanimous, he cannot learn from others and be inclusive; unless he is kind and warm-hearted, he cannot embrace the people; unless he is even-handed and righteous, he cannot take control and make decisions. (Huainanzi)
◎非淡泊无以明志，非宁静无以致远。（诸葛亮《诫子书》）
（不恬淡宁静就无法拥有崇高的志向，不安宁平静就无法实现远大的目标。）
Unless he is indifferent to fame and fortune, he cannot have aspirations; unless he stays calm and quiet, he cannot reach afar. (Zhuge Liang: Letter of Warning to My Son)
