A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
能力
Ability
Some great men owe most of their greatness to the ability of detecting in those they destine for their tools the exact quality of strength that matters for their work.
有些伟人之所以伟大，很大程度上是因为他们能够从那些注定要成为他们工具的人身上发现对他们的工作至关重要的力量的确切品质。

我真的能感觉到舞者的身体内部。我有能力捕捉到瞬间……我想让你被这个雕塑的精髓所打动。
I simply think things through, and I look at problems. One thing I pride myself on is the ability to connect unconnected thoughts and come up with new, unique thoughts.
我只是把事情想清楚，然后看问题。我为自己感到骄傲的一件事是，我有能力把不相关的想法联系起来，并产生新的、独特的想法。
The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask.
最重要的自由是做真实的自己。你用现实换取了一个角色。你放弃了感觉的能力，作为交换，戴上面具。

I think the whole system of education would change if I were in charge and had the ability to make changes. I don't think I would keep Princeton exactly being Princeton.
我认为，如果我有能力负责并做出改变，整个教育体系就会发生改变。我想我不会让普林斯顿一直是普林斯顿。
I consider my musical ability to be a gift from the Creator. It's not that I try to work hard or nothing like that, it's a gift, it was given to me, and I appreciate it.
我认为我的音乐才能是造物主给我的礼物。并不是说我努力工作或者什么都不做，这是上天给我的礼物，我很感激。

Very often we see coaches who have not been successful being recycled, instead of looking to a new face or a new name who has demonstrated the ability to handle the job.

KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。

每个人都有伤害别人的能力;重要的是选择。
The system that enables the most people to earn the most success is free enterprise, by matching up people's skills, interests, and abilities. In contrast, redistribution simply spreads money around. Even worse, it attenuates the ability to earn success by perverting economic incentives.
