把这一句，留给此刻的你
There are two things to aim at in life: first, to get what you want, and after that to enjoy it. Only the wisest of mankind achieve the second.
人生有两大目标:第一，得到你想要的，然后享受它。只有最聪明的人才能做到第二。

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.

Horace

We do not know what we want and yet we are responsible for what we are - that is the fact.
