A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
愿景
Vision
You can always amend a big plan, but you can never expand a little one. I don't believe in little plans. I believe in plans big enough to meet a situation which we can't possibly foresee now.
你总是可以修改一个大计划,但你永远不能扩大一个小计划。我不相信小计划。我相信有足够大的计划来应对我们现在无法预见的情况。
Projecting a persuasive image of a desirable and practical future is extremely important to high morale, to dynamism, to consensus, and in general to help the wheels of society turn smoothly.

Realizing this, I knew that the actual space of a room could be broken down and played with by planting illusions of real light (electric light) at crucial junctures in the room's composition.

I feel that a great coach is one that has a vision, sets a plan in place, has the right people in place to execute that plan and then accepts the responsibility if that plan is not carried out.
我觉得一个好的教练应该有远见,制定一个合适的计划,有合适的人来执行这个计划,如果这个计划没有被执行,他就要承担责任。
You have to imagine it possible before you can see something. You can have the evidence right in front of you, but if you can't imagine something that has never existed before, it's impossible.
在你看到一些东西之前,你必须想象它是可能的。证据就在你面前,但是如果你不能想象以前从未存在过的东西,那是不可能的。
Cubism is like standing at a certain point on a mountain and looking around. If you go higher, things will look different; if you go lower, again they will look different. It is a point of view.
立体主义就像站在一座山上的某个点上环顾四周。如果你升得更高,情况就会有所不同;如果再低一点,它们看起来就不一样了。这是一种观点。
This - the leadership of the mayor is crucial, because it is to the mayor that people will look to provide the vision, the energy, and the sense of confidence in the rebuilding and the recovery.
这一点——市长的领导是至关重要的,因为正是对市长而言,人们将期待为重建和复苏提供远见、精力和信心。
Lucian Freud's career affirms that the only thing an artist can do is remain true to whatever vision, (lack of) talent, or ideas that happened to pick them in order to be made known to the world.
卢西安•弗洛伊德的职业生涯证实,艺术家唯一能做的就是忠于自己的愿景,(缺乏)天赋,或者那些碰巧选中他们的想法,以便让世界了解他们。
I think that the training of architects allows you to see what will happen ten years ahead of time, or twenty. It's not guessing, it's not intuitive, it's based on research - and we may be wrong.
我认为建筑师的训练能让你提前十年或二十年看到会发生什么。这不是猜测,不是直觉,而是基于研究——我们可能错了。
It is a paradoxical but profoundly true and important principle of life that the most likely way to reach a goal is to be aiming not at that goal itself but at some more ambitious goal beyond it.

When looking at trends I always ask myself basic and timeless questions about business, and the one I seem to always come back to is, 'How is this different than anything else in the marketplace?'
当我看到潮流时,我总是问自己一些基本的、永恒的关于商业的问题,而我似乎总是会回到这个问题上,‘这和市场上的其他东西有什么不同?’
Every great work, every big accomplishment, has been brought into manifestation through holding to the vision, and often just before the big achievement, comes apparent failure and discouragement.
每一项伟大的工作,每一项伟大的成就,都是通过坚持理想而实现的,往往就在取得伟大成就之前,就会出现明显的失败和挫折。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
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?
We accept it because we have seen the vision. We know that we cannot reap the harvest, but we hope that we may so well prepare the land and so diligently sow the seed that our successors may gather the ripened grain.

你能想象什么取决于你知道什么。
Liberty lends us her wings and Hope guides us by her star.
自由借她的翅膀给我们,希望借她的星引导我们。
