The best moments in our lives are not the passive, receptive, relaxing times... The best moments usually occur if a person's body or mind is stretched to its limits in a voluntary effort to accomplish something difficult and worthwhile.
我们生命中最美好的时刻不是被动的、接受的、放松的时刻...最美好的时刻通常发生在一个人自愿努力完成一项困难而有价值的事情时,身体或精神被拉伸到极限的时候。
心灵不是印象的被动接受者,而是感知过程中的积极参与者。
