人们不讲道理、思想谬误、自我中心,不管怎样,还是爱他们;如果你友善,人们会说你自私自利、别有用心,不管怎样,还是要友善;如果你成功以后,身边尽是假的朋友和真的敌人,不管怎样,还是要成功;你所做的善事明天就会被遗忘,不管怎样,还是要做善事;诚实与坦率使你容易受到欺骗和伤害,不管怎样,还是要诚实与坦率;人都会同情弱者,却只追随赢家,不管怎样,还是要为一些弱者奋斗;你耗费数年所建设的可能毁于一旦,不管怎样,还是要建设;如果你找到了平静和幸福,人们可能会嫉妒你,不管怎样,还是要快乐;人们确实需要帮助,然而如果你帮助他们,却可能遭到攻击,不管怎样,还是要帮助;将你所拥有最好的东西献给世界,可能永远都不够,不管怎样,还是要将最好的东西付出!你看,说到底,它是你和上帝之间的事,这决不是你和他人之间的事。
