A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
底
Bottom
My mother bought me a brand new suit for going away to college. We were poor, but she wanted me to have that. It was a powder blue suit with peg pants - you know, skinny at the bottom. I think I made quite an impression with that.
我妈妈给我买了一套全新的衣服准备去上大学。我们很穷,但她想让我拥有它。那是一套粉蓝色的西装,下摆是紧身裤。我想这给我留下了深刻的印象。
Life isn't meant to be easy. It's hard to take being on the top - or on the bottom. I guess I'm something of a fatalist. You have to have a sense of history, I think, to survive some of these things... Life is one crisis after another.
生活本来就不容易。处于高位或低位是很难接受的。我想我是宿命论者。我认为,你必须有历史感,才能在这些事情中生存下来……生活是一个接一个的危机。
Leadership is simply the ability of an individual to coalesce the efforts of other individuals toward achieving common goals. It boils down to looking after your people and ensuring that, from top to bottom, everyone feels part of the team.
领导能力就是一个人为了实现共同目标而团结其他个人努力的能力。归根结底,就是要照顾好你的员工,确保从上到下,每个人都觉得自己是团队的一部分。
You can have many different selection systems, but the bottom line has to be a system that, once the judge takes office that judge will feel that he or she is to decide the case without reference to the popular thing or the popular will of the moment.
你可以有很多不同的选择系统,但底线必须是这样一个系统,一旦法官上任,他或她就会觉得他或她决定案件,而不考虑当时流行的事情或流行的意愿。
If the Lord says to give more than you think you are able to give, know that He will provide for you. Whether things are sailing smoothly or the bottom has dropped out, He is always trustworthy. You can count on Almighty God to keep His everlasting Word.
如果主说要给你比你认为你能给的更多,要知道他会给你更多。不管事情进展顺利,还是已经触底,他总是值得信赖的。你可以指望全能的上帝遵守他永恒的话语。

It's about these people who are inextricably together for whatever reasons, and they happen to be in the spy world. It's about relationships, and the bottom line is, that's why you care.
