我们每个人都是自己故事的作者,尽管有时我们无法控制故事的结局。
Each of us is the author of our own story, though sometimes we cannot control the ending.
译文:清贫的生活,对读书人来说,就是顺境;节俭的日子,对种田人来说,就是丰收的年岁。赏析:读书要耐得住寂寞。清贫的生活能排除浮华奢糜之事,否则只会扰乱身心与学业。节俭是良好的美德,也是人类生存之需要。如果平常俭约,有所积蓄,即使是收成很差,也能丰衣足食。假如不懂得节俭,泿费粮食,即使年年丰收,也会缺衣少食。
Humility is the first lesson farming teaches us.
The most dangerous phrase in business is 'We've always done it this way.'
