Conflict is the gadfly of thought. It stirs us to observation and memory. It instigates to invention. It shocks us out of sheeplike passivity, and sets us at noting and contriving.
冲突是思想的牛蝇。它激发我们观察和记忆。它激励创新。它将我们从羊群般的被动性中惊醒,并让我们留心观察和设计。
释义:善于游泳的人容易被淹死,善于骑马的人常常落马而摔伤,他们各因自己的爱好特长而招致灾祸。比喻有专门本领的人往往因自恃而招致灾祸。
