When you get an invitation to do something in the future, ask yourself: would you accept this if it was scheduled for tomorrow? Not too many promises will pass that immediacy filter.
当你收到在未来做某事的邀请时,问问自己:如果这件事安排在明天,你会接受吗?这可以筛选掉大部分事情。
写作是一种乐观的行为。
The future depends on what you do today.
译文:结交朋友如果是为了脸面有光,那不如结交对自己有身心有益的朋友;教导子弟求取富贵荣华,不如告诉子弟们养成良好的品行。赏析:《大学》一书中说:自天子以至于庶人,壹是皆以修身为本。意思是说,不管是天子还是百姓,都应该把修身作为自己的立身之本。做事就是做人,人做好了,事情自然就会成。
I'm like a head trip to listen to, 'cause I'm only givin' you things you joke about with your friends inside your living room.
