我知道，有个道理你们已经听过成千上万次了。但那是真的：艰辛的工作带来回报。如果你希望好起来，你就必须练习、练习，再练习。

There’s a choice that we have to make as people, as individuals. If you want to be great at something, there’s a choice you have to make. We all can be masters at our craft, but you have to make a choice. What I mean by that is, there are inherent sacrifices that come along with that. Family time, hanging out with friends, being a great friend, being a great son, nephew, whatever the case may be. There are sacrifices that come along with making that decision.

【原文】樊迟问知，子曰：“务民之义，敬鬼神而远之，可谓知矣。”问仁，曰：“仁者先难而后获，可谓仁矣。”【译文】樊迟问怎样才是“智”，孔子说：“专心致力于（提倡）老百姓应该遵从的道德，尊敬鬼神但要远离它，就可以说是智了。”樊迟又问怎样才是仁，孔子说：“仁人对难做的事，做在人前面，有收获的结果，他得在人后，这可以说是仁了。”

Dearer than eye-sight, space, and liberty; Beyond what can be valued, rich or rare;

A sense of timing is the mark of genius.
