佳句


1.
[
谈对人生的热情
]

It
was
an
achievement
worthy
of
Mahatma
Gandhi,
conducted
wi
th
the
shrewdness
of
a
lawyer
and
the
idealism
of
a
saint.
他带来的效应堪比圣雄甘地，兼具律师的机智和圣贤的理想主义。



“It’s

okay.
It
was
all
so
beautiful.
Whenever
you
hear
this,
I
will
be
there.”

情况没你想得那么糟，
世界多么美好！
每当你听到 这首曲子的时候，
我都在你的
身边。


The
secret
of
their
extraordinary
success
lay
precisely
in
t
hat
insatiable
curiosity,
that
irrepressible
desire
to
know,
no
matter
what
the
subject
and
no
matter
what
the
cost.

他们取得非凡成就的秘密，
是他们永不满足 的好奇心和难以遏制的求知欲，
以及
对任何事物不计代价的付出。



“Live

each
day
as
if
it
is
your
last,”

(Gandhi)
“learn

as
if
you’ll

live
forever.”

This
is
what
I’m

passionate

about.
It
is
this
inextinguishable,
undaunted
appetite
for
learning
and
experience;
no
matter
how
risible,
no
matter
ho
w
esoteric,
no
matter
how
seditious
it
might
seem.

要活就要像明天你就会死去一样活着
（甘地）
，
要学习就要像你将会永生一样学
习。
这就是我的热情所在，
一种对知识和经验的坚定无畏的渴望，
而不管这些知识多么荒唐，抑或神秘，或看上去别有用心。

温和的成功哲学
]
For
good

generate

stories
a
bout
the

around

and
then

world
turns
around
and
astonishes
us.

无论好坏，
我 们创造了关于周遭世界的绝妙故事，

吃一惊。


A
snob
is
anybody
who
takes
a
small
part
of
you
and
uses

that
to
come
to
a
complete
vision
of
who
you
are.

势利的人以一小部分的你来判别你的全部价值。


I
don’t

think
we
are
particularly
materialistic.
I
think
we

live
in
a
society
which
has
simply
pegged
certain
emotiona
l
rewards
to
the
acquisition
of
material
goods.
It’s

not
t
he
material
goods
we
want,
it’s

the
rewards
we
want.
And
that’s

a
new
way
of
looking
at
luxury
goods.
The
next
tim
e
you
see
somebody
driving
a
Ferrari,
don’t

think
“This

i
s
somebody
who
is
greedy”,

think
“this

is
somebody
who
is

incredibly
vulnerable
and
in
need
of
love.”

In
other
word
s,
feel
sympathy,
rather
than
contempt.

我并不认为我们特别看重物质，
而是生活在一个物质 能带来大量情感反馈的时代。
我们想要的不是物质，
而是背后的情感反馈。
这赋予奢侈 品一个崭新的含意。
下
次你看到那些开着法拉利跑车的人，
不要去想“这个人很贪婪” ，
而应想：
“这
是一个无比脆弱且渴望爱的人。”也就是说，同情他们，不要鄙视他们 。
