A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
改变
Change
I knew that my staying up would not change the election result if I were defeated, while if elected I had a hard day ahead of me. So I thought a night's rest was best in any event.
我知道,如果我失败了,我熬夜也不会改变选举结果,而如果我当选了,我将面临艰难的一天。所以无论如何,我认为晚上休息是最好的。
I thought, well, you might see curves there, but that's just a bone - so even if I lose weight that's not going to change anything. That's how I look. That's my shape. Do the math.
我想,嗯,你可能会看到曲线,但那只是一块骨头——所以即使我减肥了,也不会有任何改变。这就是我的样子。这是我的形状。做数学。
The line that describes the beautiful is elliptical. It has simplicity and constant change. It cannot be described by a compass, and it changes direction at every one of its points.
描述美的线条是椭圆的。它具有简单性和不断的变化。它不能用指南针来描述,它在每一点上都改变方向。
I like reading my bible, I like bible studies where I get together with others and talk about the word of God and how it relates to us and how we can change to become more like him.

For real change, we need feminine energy in the management of the world. We need a critical number of women in positions of power, and we need to nurture the feminine energy in men.

If there's something in your life that you know needs changing, make sure you change it before God's got to change it. Because if God's got to change it, you ain't going to like it.
如果你的生活中有一些东西你知道需要改变,确保你在上帝改变它之前就改变它。因为如果上帝要改变它,你是不会喜欢它的。
There are plenty of problems in the world, and doubtless climate change - or whatever the currently voguish phrase for it all is - certainly is one of them. But it's low on my list.

Music is gathering. Taking our scattered thoughts and senses and coalescing us back into our core. Music is powerful. The first few chords can change us where no self-help books can.
音乐是收集。把我们分散的思想和感觉重新凝聚到我们的核心。音乐是强大的。前几段和弦能改变我们,这是自助书籍所不能做到的。
I like change, like anybody. You don't want to keep doing the same thing because then it gets harder to take chances, be creative, and feel inspired when you're doing the same thing.
我和任何人一样喜欢改变。你不想一直做同样的事情,因为当你在做同样的事情的时候,你就很难去冒险、去创造、去感受灵感。
None of us knows what the next change is going to be, what unexpected opportunity is just around the corner, waiting a few months or a few years to change all the tenor of our lives.
没有人知道下一个变化是什么,什么意想不到的机会就在眼前,等待几个月或几年的时间来改变我们生活的基调。

Change is the watchword of progression. When we tire of well-worn ways, we seek for new. This restless craving in the souls of men spurs them to climb, and to seek the mountain view.
改变是进步的口号。当我们厌倦了老一套的生活方式,我们就寻求新的生活方式。人类灵魂中这种无休止的渴望激励着他们去攀登,去寻找山景。

The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds.
我们思考和行动的范围受到我们没有注意到的东西的限制。因为我们没有注意到我们没有注意到,所以我们对改变几乎无能为力;直到我们注意到没有注意是如何塑造我们的思想和行为的。
