A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
想法
Ideas
If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange these apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas.
如果你有一个苹果，我有一个苹果，我们交换这些苹果，那么你和我仍然各有一个苹果。但是如果你有一个想法，我有一个想法，我们交换这些想法，那么我们每个人都会有两个想法。
We have a visceral reaction to the idea that anyone would make very much money helping other people. Interesting that we don't have a visceral reaction to the notion that people would make a lot of money NOT helping other people.
我们本能地认为，任何人都可以通过帮助别人赚很多钱。有趣的是，对于人们不帮助别人就能赚很多钱的想法，我们并没有发自内心的反应。
I always told people in the private sector, 'You can be the smartest person in the world, you can have the very best ideas, but if you can't sell them and you can't get other people to work with you, you're not going to succeed.'
我总是对私营部门的人说，你可以成为世界上最聪明的人，你可以有最好的想法，但如果你不能把它们卖出去，也不能让其他人和你一起工作，你就不会成功。
I believe in human dignity as the source of national purpose, human liberty as the source of national action, the human heart as the source of national compassion, and in the human mind as the source of our invention and our ideas
我相信人的尊严是国家目标的源泉，人的自由是国家行动的源泉，人的心灵是国家同情的源泉，人的思想是我们发明和思想的源泉
You do things when the opportunities come along. I've had periods in my life when I've had a bundle of ideas come along, and I've had long dry spells. If I get an idea next week, I'll do something. If not, I won't do a damn thing.
当机会来临时，你就会去做事。在我的生活中，我曾有过这样的时期，我有过灵感迸发的时候，也有过很长一段时间没有灵感的时候。如果下周我有了主意，我就做点什么。如果没有，我什么都不会做。
You must intensify and render continuous by repeatedly presenting with suggestive ideas and mental pictures of the feast of good things, and the flowing fountain, which awaits the successful achievement or attainment of the desires.
你必须通过不断地在脑海中呈现美好事物的盛宴，以及等待成功实现或实现欲望的流动的喷泉，来强化和渲染连续性。
Most executives, many scientists, and almost all business school graduates believe that if you analyze data, this will give you new ideas. Unfortunately, this belief is totally wrong. The mind can only see what it is prepared to see.
大多数高管、许多科学家以及几乎所有商学院毕业生都认为，如果你分析数据，这将给你带来新的想法。不幸的是，这种想法是完全错误的。头脑只能看到它准备看到的东西。
A large fraction of the most interesting scientists have read a lot of SF at one time or another, either early enough that it may have played a part in their becoming scientists or at some later date just because they liked the ideas.
大部分最有趣的科学家都曾经或多或少地读过很多科幻小说，要么是在他们成为科学家的过程中就已经读过了，要么是在他们后来成为科学家的过程中，因为他们喜欢科幻小说中的观点。
The main question in drama, the way I was taught, is always, 'What does the protagonist want?' That's what drama is. It comes down to that. It's not about theme, it's not about ideas, it's not about setting, but what the protagonist wants.
在戏剧中，我学到的主要问题总是，‘主角想要什么?“这就是戏剧。归根到底。这不是主题，不是想法，不是背景，而是主角想要什么。
The ideas that come out of most brainstorming sessions are usually superficial, trivial, and not very original. They are rarely useful. The process, however, seems to make uncreative people feel that they are making innovative contributions.
大多数头脑风暴会议产生的想法通常是肤浅的、琐碎的，而且不是很有创意。它们很少有用。然而，这个过程似乎让缺乏创造力的人觉得他们在做出创新的贡献。
Sometimes, when I have a lot of ideas and I want to do a lot of things, or when I'm traveling, I lose energy and I can't do as many things as I want. So I have to plan days when I'm not doing anything. I find that a bit boring, but it's necessary.
有时候，当我有很多想法，我想做很多事情，或者当我旅行的时候，我失去了能量，我不能做我想做的事情。所以我必须计划我什么都不做的日子。我觉得这有点无聊，但这是必要的。
If you look at the publishers I've worked with, generally, they're a great bunch. Creation is unlike any other publishing house you can think of. The people I've worked with have integrity and intelligence and, almost always, less money than ideas.
如果你看看我曾经合作过的出版商，他们通常都很棒。创作不同于你能想到的任何其他出版社。和我一起工作的人正直、聪明，而且几乎总是比有想法的人挣钱少。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。

我将无视所有关于战争机器的新著作的想法，因为战争机器的发明已经到了极限，我对它的改进已不抱任何希望。
It's easy to come up with new ideas; the hard part is letting go of what worked for you two years ago, but will soon be out-of-date.
想出新点子很容易;最难的部分是放弃两年前对你有用的东西，但很快就会过时。
The best way to have a good idea is to have lots of ideas.
有一个好主意的最好方法就是有很多的主意。
One reason people get divorced is that they run out of gift ideas.

Most critical writing is drivel and half of it is dishonest. It is a short cut to oblivion, anyway. Thinking in terms of ideas destroys the power to think in terms of emotions and sensations.
大多数批判性的写作都是胡言乱语，而且有一半是不诚实的。无论如何，这是一条通往遗忘的捷径。用思想来思考破坏了用情感和感觉来思考的能力。
Uniform ideas originating among entire peoples unknown to each other must have a common ground of truth.
产生于互不相识的全体人民之间的统一思想必须有一个共同的真理基础。
