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 think 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.
要在准备好时做出决定，而不是在压力之下。或为了达到个人目的，或因为内部政治斗争，或因为一些外部需求，其他人总会催促你做出决策。但几乎每次你都可以这么说：“我需要更多的时间来考虑这个问题。我想清楚了再回复你。”即使是在最艰难、最令人不快的情况下，这种策略也非常有效。
释义：处理事情时，往往因为急躁冒进而导致失败；思考问题时，常常由于从容不迫才能有所收获。做事不可急于求成，唯有冷静沉稳、深思熟虑，才能有效解决问题、达成目标 。
History is not just the story of the past, but a mirror to the present and a window to the future.
I sent my Soul through the Invisible, Some letter of that After-life to spell: And by and by my Soul return'd to me, And answer'd "I Myself am Heav'n and Hell."
我建议年轻艺术家尽己所能地画，只要还能画就不要害怕画得糟糕。
