It takes a strong man to save himself, and a great man to save another.

I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people， and I had a brilliant boss that I much admired. I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a company selling books on the Internet. He took me on a long walk in Central Park， listened carefully to me， and finally said， "That sounds like a really good idea， but it would be an even better idea for someone who didn't already have a good job." That logic made some sense to me， and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision. Seen in that light， it really was a difficult choice， but ultimately， I decided I had to give it a shot. I didn't think I'd regret trying and failing. And I suspected I would always be haunted by a decision to not try at all. After much consideration， I took the less safe path to follow my passion， and I'm proud of that choice.

经济学的任务不仅在于解释现象，更在于为社会提供实际的建议和政策。

译文：有才能而没有权势，即使是贤人也不能制服不肖之徒。所以把一尺长的木材树立在高山之上，就能俯瞰万丈深渊，这并不是木材长，而是因为它所处的位置高。
