译文:为人处世必须以忠厚老实的人为效仿对象,传承家业必须要把勤俭节约的习惯传给子孙后代。赏析:忠厚老实之人做事有自己的原则,他们不会耍心机,不会算计别人,这样的人值得我们尊重。不管是富贵或是贫穷,我们都应把勤俭节约的习惯放在心头。贫穷时不节俭,会更加贫穷,富贵时不节俭,万贯家财都会被败光。
The things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest, are the traits of success.
You can’t get mad at me ‘cause I’m doing me. I’m not doing you.
The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.
Every word is a step into the unknown.
