A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
愿景
Vision
I would think about the outcome. Visualize sometimes. Because it never comes out the way you want it to. Fight the way I know how to fight. Whatever comes up, comes up.
我会考虑结果。有时想象。因为它永远不会以你想要的方式出现。像我知道的那样战斗。不管发生什么,都要发生。
The desire to fly is an idea handed down to us by our ancestors who... looked enviously on the birds soaring freely through space... on the infinite highway of the air.
想要飞翔的想法是我们的祖先传给我们的,他们……羡慕地看着鸟儿在太空中自由翱翔……在无限的空中高速公路上。
Will not a tiny speck very close to our vision blot out the glory of the world, and leave only a margin by which we see the blot? I know no speck so troublesome as self.
我们所看见的,不是极近处的一个小斑点,能涂抹世界的荣耀,只留下我们看见那斑点的余地吗?我不知道有什么比自我更麻烦的了。

It is what makes the reform process an art, not just a science. You have to develop a strategy that tells you what reform measures you should follow and in what sequence.

As mayor of San Francisco, I will provide the vision and work hard to make San Francisco a beautiful, well-planned city with excellent housing and transportation options.

I said here's the river I want to flow on, here's the direction I want to go, and put my boat in. I was ready for the river to take unexpected turns and present obstacles.
我说这是我想要的河流,这是我想要去的方向,把我的船放进去。我已经准备好让这条河出现意想不到的转弯和眼前的障碍。
The more you let yourself be distracted from where you are going, the more you are the person that you are. It's not so much like getting lost as it is like getting found.
你越让自己从你要去的地方分心,你就越成为你自己。与其说是迷路,不如说是找到了。
People who don't travel cannot have a global view, all they see is what's in front of them. Those people cannot accept new things because all they know is where they live.

Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead.

The money was good while it lasted. The best part was clearly that it changed my view of what's possible, as far as thinking how you can have an impact on a national level.
钱花得够多的了。最棒的部分显然是,它改变了我对可能性的看法,改变了我对如何在国家层面上产生影响的看法。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
The use of travelling is to regulate imagination by reality, and instead of thinking how things may be, to see them as they are.

Imagination doesn't always mean looking outside of the box, but taking a closed box and seeing a different world from within it.
想象并不总是意味着往盒子外看,而是从一个封闭的盒子里看一个不同的世界。

优雅的退出是有诀窍的。它始于这样的愿景:认识到一份工作、一个人生阶段、一段关系何时结束,然后放手。它意味着离开过去而不否认它的价值。
If we cannot see the possibility of greatness, how can we dream it?
如果我们看不到伟大的可能性,我们怎么能梦想它呢?
Imagination is not something apart and hermetic, not a way of leaving reality behind; it is a way of engaging reality.
想象不是孤立的、封闭的东西,不是把现实抛诸脑后的一种方式;这是一种融入现实的方式。
