Successful people maintain a positive focus in life no matter what is going on around them. They stay focused on their past successes rather than their past failures, and on the next action steps they need to take to get them closer to the fulfillment of their goals rather than all the other distractions that life presents to them.

【译文】 孔子说：“吃粗粮、喝白水、弯着胳膊当枕头，乐也在其中了！缺少仁义的富贵，对我来说，就象天上的浮云。”
