我总是努力突破自己的极限，看看自己能走多远。

译文：纵欲放荡、消极怠慢就不能勉励心志使精神振作，冒险草率、急躁不安就不能修养性情。赏析：我们要是一直沉迷于物质享受，贪图享乐，做任何事就会消极懈怠。做事草率鲁莽，浮浮躁躁的，事情也会难以成功。

I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people， and I had a brilliant boss that I much admired. I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a company selling books on the Internet. He took me on a long walk in Central Park， listened carefully to me， and finally said， "That sounds like a really good idea， but it would be an even better idea for someone who didn't already have a good job." That logic made some sense to me， and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision. Seen in that light， it really was a difficult choice， but ultimately， I decided I had to give it a shot. I didn't think I'd regret trying and failing. And I suspected I would always be haunted by a decision to not try at all. After much consideration， I took the less safe path to follow my passion， and I'm proud of that choice.
