过去的33年里,我每天早晨都会看着镜子问自己:“如果今天是我生命中的最后一天,我会想做今天将要做的事吗?”每当答案连续很多天都是“否”时,我知道我需要改变一些事情。
For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: 'If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?' And whenever the answer has been 'No' for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.
一位智者曾说:在你说话之前,让你的话经过三道门。在第一道门,问自己,“这是真的吗?”在第二道门,问,“这是必要的吗?”在第三道门,问,“这是善意的吗?”
Words have no power to impress the mind without the exquisite horror of their reality.
