A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
好
Good

我不是一个容易被爱的人。有很多时候我是一个很好的男朋友,但也有很多时候我是无用的。我的意思是,我把房子弄得一团糟。我聊起来没完没了。我对事物很着迷。
I didn't come from any kind of academic background, but I lived in a college town and I knew people who weren't without pretense. There was this idea in the town that if something was European it would be good.

Right now, I'm thinking in terms of just having a good band, man. Having a good act for the stage. Being a good performer, you know? Connected to that is future recordings, and future tunes, that kind of stuff.
现在,我只是在想要一个好的乐队,伙计。在舞台上有好的表演。做一个好的演员,你知道吗?与之相关的是未来的录音,未来的曲调,诸如此类的东西。
I'm not good at future planning. I don't plan at all. I don't know what I'm doing tomorrow. I don't have a day planner and I don't have a diary. I completely live in the now, not in the past, not in the future.
我不擅长规划未来。我根本不做计划。我不知道明天我要做什么。我没有日程安排,也没有日记。我完全活在当下,而不是过去,也不是未来。

Mum, who had been a dancer with a small ballet company before she got married, was full of encouragement. She didn't say, 'This is really good, you should do this', She just encouraged us to do whatever we liked.

Every country we conquer feeds us. And these are just a few of the good things we'll have when this war is over. Slaves working for us everywhere while we sit back with a fork in our hands and a whip on our knees.

The sensation of never feeling good enough or pretty enough will always be there. It's a constant dialogue, and you just learn to be more powerful than that other voice. When you hear it come up, you shut it down.

There are domains in which expertise is not possible. Stock picking is a good example. And in long-term political strategic forecasting, it's been shown that experts are just not better than a dice-throwing monkey.
