Fame is vapor; popularity an accident; the only earthly certainty is oblivion.
“名声”如同是蒸气,“声望”如同是意外,在地球上唯一可以确定的事情是被遗忘掉。
Make decisions when you are ready, not under pressure. Others will always push you to make a decision for their own purposes, internal politics, or some other external need. But you can almost always say, “I need a little more time to think about this. I’ll get back to you.” This tactic is very effective at defusing even the most difficult and uncomfortable situations.
