译文:一个人值得被传颂称赞,在于他有高尚的品德,不在于他有多高的地位;一个人被众人信服,在于他做事很务实,并不在于他只会夸夸其谈。赏析:生活中,我们欣赏一个人,都是看重对方的人品和素质。而那些狡诈多端,油嘴滑舌之徒,只会让人生厌。
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.
我一直相信,你永远不应该放弃,即使只有最微小的机会,你也应该继续奋斗。
