Every role I take is a piece of me.
我扮演的每一个角色都是我的一部分。
我不是榜样,我是榜样角色。
The fully realized person is one who has discovered and is developing his or her own potentialities.
The truth is a slippery thing, especially in the dark.
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.
When you say 'yes' to others, make sure you are not saying 'no' to yourself.
