Second, know how to tell others about your vision. Austin is a great example of how to communicate vision with great
force and clarity. He knew how to enlist others in his great mission in the
wilderness. He wrote and spoke every chance he had---even learned Spanish so
that he could communicate with the many Tejanos here, as well as with the
government in Mexico City. By sharing his vision in powerful, compelling
language, Austin helped unite rugged individualists into a colony where people
from different backgrounds joined together for a greater cause. As we approach
the 21st century, the idea of cooperating for the sake of a greater cause is
surely as necessary today.

第二种品质是懂得如何让你的目标为人知晓。奥斯汀在这方面是个很好的典范，他明白如何以强有力的、清晰的方式把目标传达给他人。奥斯汀懂得怎样把他人召集起来投入到荒野中的伟大事业中去。他利用一切机会写作、发言，甚至去学西班牙语以便不但能同墨西哥城政府协商，而且能与许多当地的特吉诺人交流。奥斯汀用他强劲的、鼓舞人心的话语，使得他的目标成为大家共同的目标。他帮助这些人团结在一起，在这块土地上，不同背景的人齐心协力为一项伟大的事业而奋斗。在我们向21世纪迈进的今天，这种为伟大事业而合作的思想是万万不可缺少的。
