You take a number of small steps which you believe are right, thinking maybe tomorrow somebody will treat this as a dangerous provocation. And then you wait. If there is no reaction, you take another step: courage is only an accumulation of small steps.

  • -- George Konrad 乔治·康拉德

你采取了一些你认为是正确的小步骤,想着也许明天有人会把这当作一种危险的挑衅。然后你等待。如果没有反应,你就会迈出另一步:勇气只是一小步的积累。
