You get towards the end of life—no, not life itself, but of something else: the end of any likelihood of change in that life.

译文：世俗人的感情好比一张张纸，张张都是一样薄；人世间的事情好比一盘棋，一局更比一局新。赏析：人生坎坷不平，命运沉浮变化。世态炎凉如冰，人情淡薄似纸，不过是常态而已。我们唯有学会以平常心生存，才能在得意时不张扬，失意时不消沉。

说出真相的唯一方式是以权威的口吻说话。

The most important thing is to retain your identity and not try to be something you're not.

译文：要成就大事，不应该去和众人谋划。

The moment you stop worrying about what people think is the moment you become free.
