The consequences of this problem make themselves felt in bookshops. When you go to a large bookshop and look at the self-help sections, as I sometimes do -- if you analyze self-help book sproduced in the world today, there are basically two kinds. The first kind tells you, "You can do it! You can make it! Anything's possible!" The other kind tells you how to cope with what we politely call "low self-esteem," or impolitely call, "feeling very bad about yourself."

译文：处理事情应该宽大平和，而不能有松散懈怠的毛病；处世贵在严格，而不能过于激烈操切。赏析：做事如果松散懈怠，就会功败垂成。处世遵守规定是好事，但操之过急也会适得其反。
