The fact remains that getting people right is not what living is all about anyway. It's getting them wrong that is living, getting them wrong and wrong and wrong and then, on careful reconsideration, getting them wrong again.
【译文】要像瓶口那样不轻易开口,要像城防那样时时戒备。宁愿让别人辜负我,决不让自己辜负别人。做事要三思而后行,首先不要违背自己的良心。活着的老虎尚可以靠近,心地恶毒的人千万不能亲近。在你跟前说别人坏话的人,就是制造是非的小人。
最优秀的企业家是那些能将挫折转化为垫脚石的人。
