The chief beauty about time is that you cannot waste it in advance. The next year, the next day, the next hour are lying ready for you, as perfect, as unspoiled, as if you had never wasted or misapplied a single moment in all your life. You can turn over a new leaf every hour if you choose.

The most dangerous strategy is to compete with rivals on their own terms.

过去是一个异国他乡；他们做事的方式不同。

释义：即使你的官位清廉如水，也难免碰到那些滑头狡猾的下属。
