我想说的是,我们不该放弃,我们对成功的想象,但必须确定那些都是我们自己想要的,我们应该专注于我们自己的目标,确定这目标是我们真正想要的,确定这个梦想蓝图出自自己笔下。因为得不到自己想要的已经够糟糕了,更糟糕的是,在人生旅程的终点,发觉你所追求的从来就不是你真正想要的。

The end of history will be a very sad time.

君子像水,性情谦虚冲淡,本质洁白,味平淡。而它的用处,可以使不洁的东西成为清洁,即使在滚烫的热水中放入油,二者亦不会混合,这就是君子的本性。小人像油,本质滑腻,味浓厚,它的用途可污染清洁之物,若在滚烫的油中放入水,二者必然相激而不相容, 这就是小人的本质。
