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.
真正的讲故事者不是为了娱乐,而是为了唤醒读者的良知。
翻译:天空高高在上而大地在人们脚下,乾坤所代表的天地的位置就确定了;把在人们脚下的和高高在上的罗列出来,高下与卑贱事物的地位就排定了;运动与静止有规律,阳刚和阴柔就明确分开了。
译文:即便我改变了外在的样子,人们依然难以领悟真谛,那些如同行尸走肉般生活的人,我并不为之忧虑。我要尽情地回归质朴纯真,哪怕被人嘲笑不够潇洒风流。
