A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
更改/增长
Change/Growth
Don't be afraid to fail. Don't waste energy trying to cover up failure. Learn from your failures and go on to the next challenge. It's OK to fail. If you're not failing, you're not growing.
不要害怕失败。不要浪费精力试图掩盖失败。从失败中吸取教训，迎接下一个挑战。失败没什么大不了的。如果你没有失败，你就没有成长。
Change does not necessarily assure progress, but progress implacably requires change. Education is essential to change, for education creates both new wants and the ability to satisfy them.
变化不一定保证进步，但进步必然需要变化。教育对改变至关重要，因为教育既能创造新的需求，也能满足新的需求。
Few will have the greatness to bend history itself; but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation.
很少有人有能力改变历史本身;但我们每个人都可以努力改变一小部分事件，而所有这些行为的总和将书写这一代人的历史。
Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections but instantly set about remedying them -- every day begin the task anew.
凡事都要有耐心，但最重要的是要对自己有耐心。不要在考虑自己的缺点时失去勇气，而是要立即着手改正——每天都要重新开始。
I feel that I have such an abundance in my life, and once you've seen how many people suffer and how little it takes for you to actually change their lives for the better, it's hard not to do something.
我觉得我的生活是如此丰富多彩，一旦你看到有多少人在受苦，而你只需付出一点点就能让他们的生活变得更好，你很难不去做些什么。
At every turn when there has been an imbalance of power, the truth questioned, or our beliefs and values distorted, the change required to restore our nation has always come from the bottom up from our people.
每当出现权力不平衡、真相受到质疑或我们的信仰和价值观受到扭曲时，恢复我们国家所需的变革总是从我们人民的底层开始。
I am comforted by life's stability, by earth's unchangeableness. What has seemed new and frightening assumes its place in the unfolding of knowledge. It is good to know our universe. What is new is only new to us.
生命的稳定，地球的不变使我感到安慰。在知识的发展过程中，似乎是新鲜而可怕的东西占据了一席之地。了解我们的宇宙是件好事。新事物对我们来说只是新事物。
Be thou incapable of change in that which is right, and men will rely upon thee. Establish unto thyself principles of action; and see that thou ever act according to them. First know that thy principles are just, and then be thou.
你不能改变对的事情，人们就会依赖你。为自己确立行动的原则;你要照他们的话去行。首先要知道你的原则是公正的，然后做你自己。
It's not so much that we're afraid of change or so in love with the old ways, but it's that place in between that we fear . . . . It's like being between trapezes. It's Linus when his blanket is in the dryer. There's nothing to hold on to.
与其说我们害怕改变，不如说我们喜欢旧的方式，而是我们害怕的是介于两者之间的地方……就像在空中飞人之间。是莱纳斯的毯子在烘干机里。没有什么可以坚持的。
The whole course of human history may depend on a change of heart in one solitary and even humble individual - for it is in the solitary mind and soul of the individual that the battle between good and evil is waged and ultimately won or lost.
人类历史的整个进程可能取决于一个孤独的、甚至是卑微的人改变心意- -因为正是在这个孤独的人的思想和灵魂中进行了正义与邪恶的斗争，并最终取得了胜利或失败。
What man actually needs is not a tensionless state but rather the striving and struggling for some goal worthy of him. What he needs is not the discharge of tension at any cost, but the call of a potential meaning waiting to be fulfilled by him.
人真正需要的不是一种没有紧张的状态，而是为一个值得自己去追求的目标而奋斗。他所需要的不是不惜任何代价释放紧张，而是一种潜在意义的召唤，等待着他去实现。
It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power.
释放熟悉和看似安全的东西，拥抱新的东西，需要很大的勇气。但在不再有意义的事情上没有真正的安全感。在冒险和刺激中有更多的安全感，因为在行动中有生命，在变化中有力量。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
A man is but the product of his thoughts. What he thinks, he becomes.
一个人只是他思想的产物。他想什么就成为什么。
It is impossible for a man to learn what he thinks he already knows.
一个人要学他自以为已经知道的东西是不可能的。
Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death.
生活是一个不断变化的过程，是我们必须经历的各种状态的组合。人们失败的地方在于，他们希望选举一个国家并继续留在这个国家。这是一种死亡。
If you don't like something change it; if you can't change it, change the way you think about it.
如果你不喜欢某样东西，改变它;如果你不能改变它，那就改变你思考它的方式。
You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals. To that end each of us must work for his own improvement, and at the same time share a general responsibility for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think we can be most useful.
如果不改进个人，就不可能建设一个更美好的世界。为此目的，我们每个人都必须为自己的进步而努力，同时对全人类负有共同的责任，我们的特别责任是帮助我们认为最有用的人。
It is the nature of a man as he grows older- to protest against change, particularly changes for the better
随着年龄的增长，人的本性就是反对变化，特别是向好的变化
