历史的终结将是一个非常悲伤的时刻。为纯粹抽象目标而奋斗、愿意冒生命危险的斗争,以及激发勇气、想象力、理想主义的全球意识形态斗争,将被经济计算、无休止的技术问题解决、环境关注和复杂消费需求的满足所取代。
The end of history will be a very sad time. The struggle for recognition, the willingness to risk one's life for a purely abstract goal, the worldwide ideological struggle that called forth daring, courage, imagination, and idealism, will be replaced by economic calculation, the endless solving of technical problems, environmental concerns, and the satisfaction of sophisticated consumer demands.
True leadership is about making the tough decisions when no one else will.
先读经书,再读史籍,以经论史,评论古人史事,就不会与圣贤相悖;研读史籍,再温经书,以史证经,读书目的升华,决不仅为章句之学。
The only way to get through pain is to go through it.
The act of writing is an act of optimism. You would not take the trouble to do it if you felt it didn't matter.
