我这一代人最伟大的发现是,一个人可以通过改变态度来改变他的生活。
What I want to talk to you about today is the difference between gifts and choices. Cleverness is a gift, kindness is a choice. Gifts are easy -- they're given after all. Choices can be hard. You can seduce yourself with your gifts if you're not careful, and if you do, it'll probably be to the detriment of your choices.
脸上有个污点,别人见了都暗自发笑,而自己还不知道,一旦有人直言相告,马上就用手拭去。如果还说:「我脸上有污点,与你有什么关系?」就不合乎人之常情了。可是当别人指出自身的缺点错误时,人们的态度为何就不是这样呢?
你唯一应该试图超越的人就是昨天的自己。
The only way to escape the weight of history is to write about it.
