写作的美妙之处在于，你不必像脑外科医生那样，第一次就把事情做好。你总能做得更好，找到准确的词，恰当的短语，跳跃的比喻。

We do learn and develop when we are exposed to those who are greater than we are. Perhaps this is the chief way we mature.

The foolish are like ripples on water, For whatsoever they do is quickly effaced; But the righteous are like carvings upon stone, For their smallest act is durable.
愚妄人好像水面的涟漪，凡他所作的，都必速消没。但义人好像雕刻在石头上，因为他们最小的行为，也是长存的。
