To fail is a natural consequence of trying, To succeed takes time and prolonged effort in the face of unfriendly odds. To think it will be any other way, no matter what you do, is to invite yourself to be hurt and to limit your enthusiasm for trying again.

  • -- David Viscott 维斯寇

失败是尝试的自然结果,成功需要时间和长期的努力面对不友好的机会。无论你做什么,如果你认为它会以任何其他方式出现,那你就是在自找苦吃,并且限制了你再次尝试的热情。
