The past is always present, whether we acknowledge it or not.
译文:每天都要纠正自己的过错。如果哪天没有发现过失,那就会自以为是;如果每天都觉得无过错,那就会寸步难进。天下聪明俊秀的人才不少,他们之所以不去努力地培养德行,扩大事业,是因为受了得过且过的思想影响,耽误终生。
What good's an opinion if you don't know?
"The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there."
If we over-engineer solutions, we risk losing the simplicity nature intended.
