It's easy enough to get into power. You can make promises and try to be all things to all people. But the moment you have to make decisions, you're going to annoy at least half of them. Whatever you do, in the end you're almost certain to be brought down by your own character traits.

  • -- Robert Harris 罗伯特·哈里斯

获得权力很容易。你可以做出承诺,试着成为所有人的一切。但当你不得不做出决定的时候,你会惹恼至少一半的人。无论你做什么,最终你几乎肯定会被你自己的性格特点打倒。
