我不会让消极情绪打倒我,我会超越它。
I don’t let negativity bring me down. I rise above it.
People are not lazy. They simply have impotent goals - that is, goals that do not inspire them.
So given a Time Turner, I would tell my 21-year-old self that personal happiness lies in knowing that life is not a check-list of acquisition or achievement. Your qualifications, your CV, are not your life, though you will meet many people of my age and older who confuse the two. Life is difficult, and complicated, and beyond anyone’s total control, and the humility to know that will enable you to survive its vicissitudes.
