现实不是发生在我们身上的事情,而是我们对发生的事情的理解。
"Reality is not what happens to us, but what we make of what happens to us."
译文:守住本分不贪婪定会有善终,若想占别人的便宜必定会吃亏。赏析:做人一定要坚守道德底线、清心寡欲。处处算计别人,事事都要占便宜,或许可以得到一时的利益,但最终都会害了自己。
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.
