So what I want to argue for is not that we should give up on our ideas of success, but we should make sure that they are our own. We should focus in on our ideas, and make sure that we own them; that we are truly the authors of our own ambitions. Because it's bad enough not getting what you want, but it's even worse to have an idea of what it is you want, and find out, at the end of the journey, that it isn't, in fact, what you wanted all along.
我想说的是,我们不该放弃,我们对成功的想象,但必须确定那些都是我们自己想要的,我们应该专注于我们自己的目标,确定这目标是我们真正想要的,确定这个梦想蓝图出自自己笔下。因为得不到自己想要的已经够糟糕了,更糟糕的是,在人生旅程的终点,发觉你所追求的从来就不是你真正想要的。
变老最好的事情是,你不会失去你曾经经历过的所有其他年龄段。
如果我失败了,我会再试一次,再试一次,再试一次。如果你失败了,你会再试一次吗?人类的精神可以承受比我们意识到的更糟糕的情况。重要的是你如何结束。你会坚强地结束吗?
