If a ship has been sunk, I can't bring it up. If it is going to be sunk, I can't stop it. I can use my time much better working on tomorrow's problem than by fretting about yesterday's. Besides, if I let those things get me, I wouldn't last long.

  • -- Ernest Joseph King 欧内斯特·约瑟夫·金

如果一艘船沉没了,我不能把它打捞上来。如果船要沉了,我也阻止不了。我可以更好地利用我的时间来解决明天的问题,而不是为昨天的烦恼。此外,如果我让这些东西抓住我,我不会坚持太久。
