Our intentions may be very good, but, because the intelligence is limited, the action may turn out to be a mistake - a mistake, but not necessarily a sin, for sin comes out of a wrong intention.
我们的意图可能很好,但是,由于智力有限,行动可能会变成一个错误——一个错误,但不一定是一种罪,因为罪来自一个错误的意图。

Too often, our minds are locked on one track. We are looking for red-so we overlook blue. Many Nobel prizes have been washed down the drain because someone did not expect the unexpected.
太多时候,我们的思想被锁定在一个轨道上。我们在找红色,所以忽略了蓝色。许多诺贝尔奖都被白白浪费了,因为有人没有预料到会发生意想不到的事。
