天下事都在恩怨纠结，是非混沌中做成，要紧的是事情做成了。

生活中真正的勇士向来默默无闻，喧哗不止的永远是自视高贵的一群。

The struggle for social justice must be at the heart of any educational practice.

为社会正义而斗争必须成为任何教育实践的核心。

我们常常痛感⽣活的艰⾟与沉重，⽆数次⽬睹了⽣命在各种重压下的扭曲与变形，“平凡”⼀时间成了⼈们最真切的渴望。但是，我们却在不经意间遗漏了另外⼀种恐惧——没有期待、⽆需付出的平静，其实是在消耗⽣命的活⼒与精神。

你不能靠借贷来致富，至少不能持久地富。

在美国，所有人都认为没有什么人比他的社会地位高，因为人人生而平等。但是，他可不承认没有人比他社会地位低。

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."

我清晰地记得接下来发生了什么，而那是我意料之外的。我本期待着小聪明和算术技巧能赢得掌声，但那并没有发生。相反，我的祖母哭泣起来。我的祖父之前一直在默默开车，把车停在了路边，走下车来，打开了我的车门，等着我跟他下车。我惹麻烦了吗？我的祖父是一个智慧而安静的人。他从来没有对我说过严厉的话，难道这会是第一次？还是他会让我回到车上跟祖母道歉？我以前从未遇到过这种状况，因而也无从知晓会有什么后果发生。我们在房车旁停下来。祖父注视着我，沉默片刻，然后轻轻地、平静地说："杰夫，有一天你会明白，善良比聪明更难。"

一切练习，最终都是要把开始的慢速行为，变成不太需要思考的中速行为，最后变成下意识反应的快速行为，甚至是自动行为。

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.

选择比天赋更重要今天我想对你们说的是，天赋和选择不同。聪明是一种天赋，而善良是一种选择。天赋得来很容易——毕竟它们与生俱来。而选择则颇为不易。如果一不小心，你可能被天赋所诱惑，这可能会损害到你做出的选择。

这世上，本就没有任何一句话，可以让你醍醐灌顶。真正叫你醍醐灌顶的，只能是一段经历。而那句话，只是火药仓库内划燃的一根火柴。
