I choose a block of marble and chop off whatever I don't need.

我认为当你爱一个人时，无论是对是错，没有人能告诉你你是错的。

Listen to everyone in your company and figure out ways to get them talking. The folks on the front lines—the ones who actually talk to the customer—are the only ones who really know what's going on out there. You'd better find out what they know.

【释义】：锋芒毕露的人容易遭遇危险，追求名声的人可以得到虚荣，得到众人期望的人会劳累一生。

译文：经常在外人面前夸耀自己就是最大的短处，知道自己还有短处就是最大的长处。赏析：做人低调不张扬，才不会引起别人的嫉妒和报复。为人处世，不谈论自己的优点，不议论别人的短处。
