A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
改变
Change
The only people available to change the world are the people now living in it, with all the beliefs they bring along - however retrograde those beliefs may appear to those of us who see ourselves as enlightened.
唯一可以改变世界的人是现在生活在这个世界上的人,他们带着所有的信念——不管这些信念在我们这些自认为是开明的人看来多么倒退。
In winter I go skiing on Saturdays and Sundays when the slopes are quieter due to changeover day for tourists, and in summer I hike up into the mountains at sunset, just as the village is settling down to dinner.
冬天,我在周六和周日去滑雪,因为游客要换班,所以山坡上比较安静。夏天,我在日落时分徒步上山,那时村子里的人正在吃晚饭。
Observe constantly that all things take place by change, and accustom thyself to consider that the nature of the Universe loves nothing so much as to change the things which are, and to make new things like them.
不断地观察,所有的事物都是通过变化发生的,并使你习惯于考虑宇宙的本性最喜欢改变现有的事物,并创造与之相似的新事物。

It's great to have all this stuff at home. But when you want to make it for real, there's still nothing like making music with a bunch of other great musicians in the same room. That's one thing that'll never change.

If, as is natural, you focus on the corruption and on those threatened institutions that are trying to prevent change - even though they don't really know what they're trying to prevent - then you can get pessimistic.

I just wanna build momentum again. Keeping yourself in work is one thing, keeping yourself in good work's another. But if it doesn't work out, so be it. As the Taoists say, Learn to accept that which you cannot change.
我只是想再次建立动力。保持工作是一回事,保持良好的工作是另一回事。但如果不成功,那就顺其自然吧。正如道家所说,学会接受你无法改变的东西。
Nature gives to every time and season some beauties of its own; and from morning to night, as from the cradle to the grave, it is but a succession of changes so gentle and easy that we can scarcely mark their progress.
大自然在每一个季节,每一次都赋予它自己一些美丽;从早到晚,就像从摇篮到坟墓一样,只是一连串的变化,如此轻柔而容易,我们几乎看不到它们的进展。
The way of the Creative works through change and transformation, so that each thing receives its true nature and destiny and comes into permanent accord with the Great Harmony: this is what furthers and what perseveres.
创造性的工作方式是通过变化和改造,使每一件事物接受它的本性和命运,并与大和谐达到永恒的一致:这是进一步和坚持的。
I hate modern car radios. In my car, I don't even have a push-button radio. It's just got a dial and two knobs. Just AM. One knob makes it louder, and one knob changes the station. When you're driving, that's all I want.
我讨厌现代汽车收音机。在我的车里,我甚至没有一个按钮收音机。它只有一个表盘和两个旋钮。只是我。一个旋钮使声音变大,另一个旋钮改变了位置。当你开车的时候,这就是我想要的。
