In truth, the foundation of education in general is the education of the poor.
我认为我们已经经历了一个时期,太多的人被引导去理解,如果他们有问题,这是政府的工作来应对它。“我有一个问题,我会获得补助。”“我无家可归,政府必须给我住房。”他们把问题抛给社会。而且,你知道,没有社会这种东西。只有个人男性和女性以及家庭。除了通过人民,政府什么也做不了,而人民必须首先照顾自己。照顾自己是我们的责任,然后,也要照顾我们的邻居。人们太过于考虑权利,而忽视了义务。
最终,我们将记住的不是敌人的话语,而是朋友的沉默。
始终保持好奇心,对新想法持开放态度。
I have a vivid memory of what happened, and it was not what I expected. I expected to be applauded for my cleverness and arithmetic skills. "Jeff, you're so smart. You had to have made some tricky estimates, figure out the number of minutes in a year and do some division." That's not what happened. Instead, my grandmother burst into tears. I sat in the backseat and did not know what to do. While my grandmother sat crying, my grandfather, who had been driving in silence, pulled over onto the shoulder of the highway. He got out of the car and came around and opened my door and waited for me to follow. Was I in trouble? My grandfather was a highly intelligent, quiet man. He had never said a harsh word to me, and maybe this was to be the first time? Or maybe he would ask that I get back in the car and apologize to my grandmother. I had no experience in this realm with my grandparents and no way to gauge what the consequences might be. We stopped beside the trailer. My grandfather looked at me, and after a bit of silence, he gently and calmly said, "Jeff, one day you'll understand that it's harder to be kind than clever."
