不要心存侥幸，避免贪婪的心作怪，这会令你思考发生短路。如果你不是步步踏实，就容易掉入不切实际的赌注。

I'm drawn to a lovely quote by St. Augustine in "The City of God," where he says, "It's a sin to judge any man by his post." In modern English that would mean it's a sinto come to any view of who you should talk to, dependent on their business card. It's not the post that should count. According to St. Augustine, only God can really put everybody in their place; he's going to do that on the Day of Judgment, with angels and trumpets, and the skies will open. Insane idea, if you're a secularist person, like me. But something very valuable in that idea, nevertheless.

我很喜欢圣奥古斯丁在“上帝之城”里的一句话，他说“以社会地位评价人是一种罪”。用现在的口吻说，看一个人的名片来决定你是否要和他交谈是罪。对圣奥古斯丁来说，人的价值不在他的社会地位，只有神可以决定一个人的价值，他将在天使围绕、小号奏鸣，天空破开的世界末日给于最后审判，如果你是像我一样的世俗论者，这想法太疯狂了，但这想法有它的价值。

我愿意我的东西躺在小摊上，被愿看的买去，却不愿意受正人君子赏识。世上爱牡丹的或者是最多，但也有喜欢曼陀罗花或无名小草的，朋其还将霸王鞭种在茶壶里当盆景哩。
