A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
使
Making
I think the idea that death is not the end, that your dog's just 'gone to live on the farm,' is limiting and can prevent you making the most of all the time you have.
我认为死亡并不是结束，你的狗只是“去了农场”，这种想法是有限制的，会阻止你充分利用你所有的时间。
Any accolades that anybody puts toward this band really makes me feel good, because I have devoted such a big part of my life to this band, making it what I want it to be.
任何人对这支乐队的任何褒奖都会让我感觉很好，因为我为这支乐队奉献了生命中如此重要的一部分，让它成为我想成为的样子。
I measure everything, because I always think that if I've spent so much time making sure this recipe was exactly the way I want it, why would I want to throw things into a pot?
我测量每样东西，因为我总是在想，如果我花了这么多时间来确保这个食谱就是我想要的，我为什么要把东西扔进锅里?
Major labels didn't start showing up really until they smelled money, and that's all they're ever going to be attracted to is money-that's the business they're in- making money.
直到他们嗅到了钱的味道，大品牌才真正开始出现，而吸引他们的只有钱——他们所从事的行业——赚钱。
It is one of the most saddening things in life that, try as we may, we can never be certain of making people happy, whereas we can almost always be certain of making them unhappy.
这是生活中最令人悲伤的事情之一，尽管我们尽了最大的努力，但我们永远不能肯定能让人们幸福，而我们几乎总是能肯定能让他们不幸福。
Books are something social - a writer speaking to a reader - so I think making the reading of a book the center of a social event, the meeting of a book club, is a brilliant idea.
书是一种社会性的东西——一个作家对读者说话——所以我认为把读书作为一个社会活动的中心，一个读书俱乐部的聚会，是一个绝妙的主意。
When you have a background in combat sports, people think you're this martial arts expert, but really I'm just a guy who is able to do certain things without making a mess of himself.

To the extent that you can find ways where you're making predictions, there's no substitute for testing yourself on real-world situations that you don't know the answer to in advance.

Ultimately, I'm not the most prolific person, but I've been doing this for a long time, and I keep on putting out music. The only thing that drives music is the people who are making it.

We should so provide for old age that it may have no urgent wants of this world to absorb it from meditation on the next. It is awful to see the lean hands of dotage making a coffer of the grave.

When we were making KONG, I went into the sound room and made an aria of horror sounds. I was in charge of it; there was no one there to listen to me. I was totally in charge of what I wanted to do.

When I was a kid, award shows were super-interesting for me. But when I started making music, it was kind of hard to watch because I believed in what I was doing and yet knew I didn't really have a shot.
当我还是个孩子的时候，颁奖典礼对我来说非常有趣。但是当我开始创作音乐的时候，我很难去看，因为我相信我所做的，但我知道我没有真正的机会。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
I knew that I needed to do something that I desperately loved. There was a period where I did question if it was acting because I knew that I would be making things hard on myself. I knew that there was going to be a little bit of a hullabaloo because of my dad being who he is and all that.
我知道我需要做一些我极度热爱的事情。有一段时间，我确实怀疑这是不是在演戏，因为我知道这样做会让自己处境艰难。我知道会有一场小小的骚动，因为我爸爸就是这样的人。
Everything starts with yourself, with you making up your mind about what you're going to do with your life. I tell kids that it's a cruel world, and that the world will bend them either left or right, and it's up to them to decide which way to bend.
一切都从你自己开始，从你决定你的人生要做什么开始。我告诉孩子们，这是一个残酷的世界，这个世界会让他们向左或向右弯曲，这取决于他们决定向哪个方向弯曲。

我并没有很难做到，我只是很难放手。
