登上梯子顶端的唯一方法就是一步一步往上爬。

The longer life goes on, the fewer those around you to challenge your account of things, to remind you that life is not as you tell it, but as you remember it.

I’m not afraid to speak my mind.

译文：人生不能过于安逸闲散，有了可以不断追求的事业，才能收回安逸之心。日用花费必须要节俭，只有杜绝奢靡，才能彰显勤俭的美德。赏析：生于忧患死于安乐。逸豫可以亡身，忧劳可以兴国。一个人过于安逸，就会无所事事，丧失斗志。一粥一饭当思来之不易，半丝半缕恒念物力维艰。
