A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
使
Made
I made a few records here and there by default, but I wasn't ever comfortable in that role. I wasn't comfortable on stage. We'll see how it goes this time.
默认情况下,我在这里和那里做了一些记录,但是我从来都不习惯这个角色。我在舞台上不舒服。这次我们来看看情况如何。
A mathematical theory is not to be considered complete until you have made it so clear that you can explain it to the first man whom you meet on the street.
一个数学理论,只有当你把它讲得非常清楚,以致于你能向你在街上遇到的第一个人解释清楚时,它才算完整。
We made some mistakes. We had some managers we didn't like and had to get rid of, and that cost some money. Stuff like that. But overall, we did really well.
我们犯了一些错误。我们有一些经理我们不喜欢,不得不解雇,这花费了一些钱。诸如此类。但总的来说,我们做得很好。
For instance, Clinton who was unquestionably the smartest of the bunch I talked to - both the ones who made it and didn't. He had a great interest in policy.
例如,克林顿无疑是我交谈过的那群人中最聪明的——无论是成功的还是失败的。他对政策很感兴趣。
He obliged Cinderella to sit down, and, putting the slipper to her little foot, he found it went on very easily, and fitted her as if it had been made of wax.
他让灰姑娘坐下来,把拖鞋套在她的小脚上,发现它穿起来很舒服,就像用蜡做的一样。
When we were growing up our parents somehow made it clear that being famous was good. And I mistakenly thought that if I was famous then everyone would love me.
在我们成长的过程中,我们的父母以某种方式明确表示,出名是件好事。我错误地认为,如果我出名了,那么每个人都会爱我。
The child now shewed her a narrow and rugged descent, made by cutting the red clay and stones, of which the cliffs are here composed, into a sort of rude steps.
那孩子现在指给她看一条又窄又崎岖的下坡路,这条路是把悬崖上的红土和石块凿成一种粗糙的台阶而下的。
So it's a much more difficult issue to organize around, because you can't get media at all to make your case. And that's where cases tend to be made politically.
所以这是一个更难组织的问题,因为你根本找不到媒体来证明你的观点。这就是政治上的原因。
We're made up of energy, so who's to say you can't transmit through electrical means? If you could transmit yourself wirelessly, then it's Armageddon pretty much.

I'm always touched by people's different stories of who they are and why they made the choices that they made. I feel so empowered by the story behind the person.

Words are made for a certain exactness of thought, as tears are for a certain degree of pain. What is least distinct cannot be named; what is clearest is unutterable.

If you shake your fist, the other guy will shake his too. But if you extend your hand to shake their hand, then they will extend theirs also, and you've made a friend.
如果你挥拳,对方也会挥拳。但如果你伸出手去和他们握手,他们也会伸出手来,你就交了一个朋友。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Know what the old masters did. Know how they composed their pictures, but do not fall into the conventions they established. These conventions were right for them, and they are wonderful. They made their language. You make yours. All the past can help you.
知道过去的大师们是怎么做的。知道他们如何构图,但不要落入他们所建立的常规。这些惯例对他们来说是正确的,而且非常棒。他们创造了自己的语言。你做你的。所有的过去都能帮助你。
It would be so nice if something made sense for a change.

And it just made me realize again because I have know it for some time, that you never get comfortable in this. No matter who you are. No matter who... how successful you are.
这让我再次意识到,因为我已经知道一段时间了,你永远不会适应这样的生活。不管你是谁。不管谁……你是多么成功。
Art is science made clear.
艺术就是科学。
