A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
改变
Change
The world does not need tourists who ride by in a bus clucking their tongues. The world as it is needs those who will love it enough to change it, with what they have, where they are.
这个世界不需要坐在公交车上喋喋不休的游客。这个世界需要那些足够热爱它的人,用他们所拥有的,用他们所处的去改变它。
As another has well said, to handicap a student by teaching him that his black face is a curse and that his struggle to change his condition is hopeless is the worst sort of lynching.
另一个人说得好,教育一个学生,他的黑脸是一种诅咒,他改变自己状况的努力是无望的,以此来阻碍他,这是最糟糕的私刑。
Change means movement. Movement means friction. Only in the frictionless vacuum of a nonexistent abstract world can movement or change occur without that abrasive friction of conflict.
变化意味着运动。运动意味着摩擦。只有在一个不存在的抽象世界的无摩擦真空中,没有冲突的磨料摩擦,运动或变化才能发生。
There are periods in history when change is necessary, and other periods when it is better to keep everything for the time as it is. The art of life is to be in the rhythm of your age.

God, give us grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, courage to change the things which should be changed and the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other.

From year to year, environmental changes are incremental and often barely register in our lives, but from evolutionary or geological perspectives, what is happening is explosive change.

I don't think that a leader can control, to any great extent, his destiny. Very seldom can he step in and change the situation if the forces of history are running in another direction.

But maybe because the dot-com world gives people positions at a younger age, and many women are prominent in this business, it will help change the view about who can run big companies.

Some people are still unaware that reality contains unparalleled beauties. The fantastic and unexpected, the ever-changing and renewing is nowhere so exemplified as in real life itself.

Everybody talks about wanting to change things and help and fix, but ultimately all you can do is fix yourself. And that's a lot. Because if you can fix yourself, it has a ripple effect.
每个人都说想要改变,想要帮助,想要修复,但最终你能做的就是修复你自己。因为如果你能自我修复,就会产生连锁反应。
KEEP EXPLORING
