Don't show off every day, or you'll stop surprising people. There must always be some novelty left over. The person who displays a little more of it each day keeps up expectations, and no one ever discovers the limits of his talent.

  • -- Baltasar Gracián 巴尔塔萨尔·格雷西

不要每天都炫耀自己,否则你就不会再给别人惊喜了。一定会留下一些新奇的东西。每天多表现一点的人会保持期望,没有人会发现他才能的极限。
