The problem is, if you really believe in a society where those who merit to get to the top, get to the top, you'll also, by implication, and in a far more nasty way, believe in a society where those who deserve to get to the bottom also get to the bottom and stay there. I nother words, your position in life comes to seem not accidental, but merited and deserved. And that makes failure seem much more crushing.
问题是,如果你打从心里相信,那些在社会顶层的人都是精英,同时你也暗示着,以一种残忍的方法,相信那些在社会底层的人,天生就该在社会底层,换句话说,你在社会的地位不是偶然,而都是你配得的,这种想法让失败变得更残忍。
Every person has a map in their heart, and the map is drawn by their experiences.
译文:结交朋友要始终如一,不要因为地位升降就中途分手。赏析:我们要结交知心朋友,不管我们的身份如何改变,对待朋友的态度都要矢志不渝。不能因为自己的名位高和钱财多就疏远朋友。
