相信很多人都听说过一个观念：能力决定了一个人的生活水平和发展潜力。
I believe many people have heard of the concept that ability determines a person’s living standards and development potential.
但是，在个人特质上，人的格局仍然是最为重要的因素。
However, in terms of personal traits, human pattern remains the most important factor.
所谓格局，就是人们对世界、生活、人际关系、价值观等方面的理解和认知方式。
The so-called pattern refers to the way people understand and recognize the world, life, interpersonal relationships, values, and other aspects.
换句话说，人的格局大约是由其思维模式、认知习惯以及生活经历统合而成的。
In other words, a person’s pattern is roughly formed by the integration of their thinking patterns, cognitive habits, and life experiences.
一个人的格局可以影响他的走向和进步。
A person’s pattern can affect their direction and progress.
相比于普通人，格局宽广的人更能直面挑战，并把握当前的发展机遇。
Compared to ordinary people, people with a broad pattern are more able to face challenges and seize current development opportunities.
同时，他们也比较懂得如何避免不必要的风险和局限。
At the same time, they also know how to avoid unnecessary risks and limitations.
因为，他们有着基于深刻理解的行事逻辑，也会有更好的思考机会。
Because they have a logic of action based on deep understanding and will also have better opportunities for thinking.
而那些格局太窄的人，往往会因为缺乏视野和经验而无法抓住机遇，而且还容易在各个领域中遭遇困境。
And those with too narrow a pattern often fail to seize opportunities due to a lack of vision and experience, and are also prone to encountering difficulties in various fields.
不可否认，能力亦是一个人成功的重要因素。
It is undeniable that ability is also an important factor in a person’s success.
但是，在一定程度上，能力只不过阶段性的闭环。然而，格局的保持能让人在任何情况下都能把握机遇和风险。
However, to a certain extent, capability is only a periodic closed-loop. However, maintaining the pattern allows people to seize opportunities and risks in any situation.
所以，只要我们把格局放在第一位，就能够有一个更好的发展与提高自我境遇。
So, as long as we prioritize the pattern, we can have a better development and self-improvement situation.
