出自先秦《荀子·强国》。一个人知道爱惜生命、安于快乐而抛弃礼义,那就好比想长寿而自刎其颈一样。此以比喻来说明坚守礼仪对于“贵生乐安”的重要性,强调治国安邦不可缺失礼义的意义。
我对那些在挣扎中、试图弄清楚某些事情的角色感兴趣。
Theoretically there is a perfect possibility of happiness: believing in the indestructible element within oneself, and not striving towards it.
I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people, and I had a brilliant boss that I much admired. I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a company selling books on the Internet. He took me on a long walk in Central Park, listened carefully to me, and finally said, "That sounds like a really good idea, but it would be an even better idea for someone who didn't already have a good job." That logic made some sense to me, and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision. Seen in that light, it really was a difficult choice, but ultimately, I decided I had to give it a shot. I didn't think I'd regret trying and failing. And I suspected I would always be haunted by a decision to not try at all. After much consideration, I took the less safe path to follow my passion, and I'm proud of that choice.
