A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS

令人尴尬

Embarrassing

One of the principal goals in my life has been to avoid embarrassing my children by doing the job I do. I hope I've managed to do that, and I hope that, with the job I'm in now, they are, if not proud, at least unembarrassed by it. I must say, my three are most agreeable children, who do nothing but delight me.

我人生的主要目标之一就是通过做我的工作来避免让我的孩子们难堪。我希望我做到了这一点,我希望,以我现在的工作,他们即使不感到自豪,至少也不会为此感到尴尬。我得说,我的三个孩子是最讨人喜欢的,他们除了使我高兴以外,什么也不做。

A LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT

给此刻的你,一点向前的力量。

关于学习、善意与成长,读一句,再想一想。

The society which scorns excellence in plumbing because plumbing is a humble activity, and tolerates shoddiness in philosophy because philosophy is an exalted activity, will have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy. Neither its pipes nor its theories will hold water.

如果一个社会因为铅管是一项卑贱的活动而蔑视铅管的卓越,又因为哲学是一项崇高的活动而容忍哲学的粗鄙,那么这个社会既不会有好的铅管,也不会有好的哲学。它的管道和理论都站不住脚。
