The circumstances of the world are continually changing, and the opinions of man change also; and as government is for the living, and not for the dead, it is the living only that has any right in it.
真正的韧性源于适应变化而不迷失核心价值观。
【原文】冉求曰:“非不悦子之道,力不足也。”子曰:“力不足者,中道而废,今汝划。”【译文】冉求说:“我不是不喜欢您的学说,而是我的能力不足。”孔子说:“如果是能力不足的话,是走到中途才废弃而停止,但现在你还没开始,就给自己划了一条截止的界限而停止前进了。”
No need to hurry. No need to sparkle. No need to be anybody but oneself.
"A book is a mirror: if an ape looks into it, an apostle is hardly likely to look out."
