偏見是一種負擔,它混淆往事、威脅未來,讓人無法把握現在。
人們將忘記你說什麼,人們將忘記你做什麼,但人們永遠不會忘記你使他們如何感受。
People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
如果你不喜歡某些事物,就改變它。如果你無法改變,就改變你的態度。
If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude.
你不會用盡創造力,愈用只會愈源源不絕。
You can't use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.
生命,不該用呼吸次數的多寡來衡量,而是有多少讓我們屏息的精彩時刻。
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
勇氣是所有美德中最重要的,因為沒有勇氣,你無法持續實踐其他美德。
Courage is the most important of all the virtues because without courage, you can't practice any other virtue consistently.
擇己所愛才能得到真正的成就。別把賺錢當目標,追求你愛的、把它做到最好,讓別人對你目不轉睛。
You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don’t make money your goal. Instead pursue the things you love doing and then do them so well that people can’t take their eyes off of you.
