A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
想要
Want
First I wanted to be a veterinarian. And then I realized you had to give them shots to put them to sleep, so I decided I'd just buy a bunch of animals and have them in my house instead.
首先我想成为一名兽医。然后我意识到你必须给他们打针才能让他们入睡,所以我决定买一堆动物,把它们放在我的房子里。
Well, I did know - but I just wanted the day to pass and the next day to come and then I wanted that one to pass. It was a horrible cycle. I felt so close to having to pack the game in.

One is my club, I want to develop those players, and I want to be in the beginning at least, until I have everything ready, I want to spend as much time to develop those kids as possible.

I took a lot of bad things after Athens. I just learnt to deal with it. The problem was beforehand I had this feeling where I was trying to please everybody - I wanted everybody to like me.
雅典奥运会之后,我经历了很多不好的事情。我只是学会了处理它。问题是,在此之前,我有这样一种感觉,我试图取悦所有人——我想让所有人都喜欢我。
Even though I build buildings and I pursue my architecture, I pursue it as an artist. I deliberately keep a tiny studio. I don't want to be an architectural firm. I want to remain an artist.

You don't want a million answers as much as you want a few forever questions. The questions are diamonds you hold in the light. Study a lifetime and you see different colors from the same jewel.

We should so provide for old age that it may have no urgent wants of this world to absorb it from meditation on the next. It is awful to see the lean hands of dotage making a coffer of the grave.
我们应该为年老做好准备,这样,这个世界就不会迫切需要从对下一个世界的冥想中吸收老年。看到老态龙钟的瘦削的手在坟墓上做棺材是可怕的。
I know you've heard it a thousand times before. But it's true - hard work pays off. If you want to be good, you have to practice, practice, practice. If you don't love something, then don't do it.
我知道你以前已经听过一千遍了。但是这是真的——努力工作是有回报的。如果你想成为一个优秀的人,你必须练习,练习,再练习。如果你不爱什么,就不要做。
In art or architecture your project is only done when you say it's done. If you want to rip it apart at the eleventh hour and start all over again, you never finish. I was one of those crazy creatures.
在艺术或建筑中,只有当你说“完成了”时,你的项目才算完成。如果你想在最后一刻把它撕成碎片,然后从头再来,你永远也完成不了。我就是那种疯狂的生物。

Memory depends very much on the perspicuity, regularity, and order of our thoughts. Many complain of the want of memory, when the defect is in the judgment; and others, by grasping at all, retain nothing.
记忆在很大程度上取决于我们思维的敏锐性、规律性和秩序。许多人抱怨缺乏记忆,当缺陷是在判断;而另一些人,什么也抓不住,什么也抓不住。
There are two ways of being happy: We must either diminish our wants or augment our means - either may do - the result is the same and it is for each man to decide for himself and to do that which happens to be easier.
有两种幸福的方式:我们必须要么减少我们的欲望,要么增加我们的手段——任何一种都可以——结果都是一样的,这是由每个人自己决定的,做那些碰巧更容易的事情。
