If one only wished to be happy, this could be easily accomplished; but we wish to be happier than other people, and this is always difficult, for we believe others to be happier than they are.
这是最好的时代,也是最坏的时代;这是智慧的时代,也是愚蠢的时代;这是信仰的时代,也是怀疑的时代;这是光明的季节,也是黑暗的季节;这是希望的春天,也是绝望的冬天;我们什么都有,也什么都没有;我们正走向天堂之路,也正走向地狱之门。
Believe nothing you hear, and only one half that you see.
When faced with challenges, focus on solutions rather than problems.
