A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
愿景
Vision
People are really emotionally affected by actors. And it's hard to know how to behave in a way that doesn't impose or withdraw. Because everybody wants your attention. Everywhere you go, you know?
人们真的会受到演员的情感影响。而且很难知道如何以一种既不强加也不退缩的方式行事。因为每个人都想引起你的注意。你知道吗?
Politics has always been the art of the possible. Today it's too often the art of the probable -- tinkering around the edges without any greater vision, without a sense of optimism and imagination.
政治一直是可能性的艺术。如今,这往往是一种可能性的艺术——在没有更大远见、没有乐观和想象力的情况下,在边缘修修补补。
A journey is a person in itself; no two are alike. And all plans, safeguards, policing, and coercion are fruitless. We find that after years of struggle that we do not take a trip; a trip takes us.
旅行本身就是一个人;没有两个是一样的。所有的计划、保障措施、治安和胁迫都是徒劳的。我们发现,经过多年的奋斗,我们没有去旅行;我们要去旅行。
It's a brilliant surface in that sunlight. The horizon seems quite close to you because the curvature is so much more pronounced than here on earth. It's an interesting place to be. I recommend it.
在那样的阳光下,这是一个明亮的表面。地平线似乎离你很近,因为这里的曲率比地球上明显得多。这是一个有趣的地方。我推荐它。
How soon country people forget. When they fall in love with a city it is forever, and it is like forever... There, in a city, they are not so much new as themselves: their stronger, riskier selves.
乡下人很快就忘记了。当他们爱上一个城市,那是永远的,就像永远……在那里,在城市里,他们并不像他们自己那么新鲜:他们更强壮,更有风险的自我。
We shall see but little way if we require to understand what we see. How few things can a man measure with the tape of his understanding! How many greater things might he be seeing in the meanwhile!
如果我们要求了解我们所看到的东西,我们将看不到什么。一个人能用他的理解力来衡量多少事情啊!在这期间,他会看到多少更伟大的事情啊!
And I think one of the tasks that I always feel is how to get that vision out of them. Not exactly what they want, but what they want to accomplish for themselves or their community or their family.
我认为我一直觉得的任务之一就是如何从他们身上获得这种愿景。不完全是他们想要什么,而是他们想为自己、为他们的社区、为他们的家庭完成什么。
There's a trick to the Graceful Exit. It begins with the vision to recognize when a job, a life stage, a relationship is over - and to let go. It means leaving what's over without denying its value.
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 you got a good imagination, a lot of confidence and you kind of know what you are saying, then you might be able to do it. I know a lot of colorful characters at home that would make great actors.
如果你有很好的想象力,很有信心,而且你知道自己在说什么,那么你也许能做到。我在家里认识很多可以成为优秀演员的丰富多彩的人物。
And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions.
我要将我的灵浇灌凡有血气的。你们的儿女要说预言。你们的老年人要作异梦。你们的少年人要见异象。
If you don't pay attention and if your imagination isn't pretty much engaged, you're going to miss things and you're going to miss opportunities for it to be as compelling and as creepy as it can be.
如果你不集中注意力,如果你的想象力不够活跃,你就会错过一些东西,你就会错过一些机会,让它变得尽可能地引人注目和令人毛骨悚然。
What one does in the studio is to pose a series of problems to oneself. I've got to look for some deeper meaning, for some reason for this thing to be in the world. There's enough stuff in the world.
一个人在工作室里所做的就是给自己制造一系列的问题。我必须寻找一些更深层次的意义,因为一些原因让这个东西存在于这个世界上。世界上有足够的东西。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
The end result of kindness is that it draws people to you.
善良的最终结果是它把人们吸引到你身边。
If you are working on something exciting that you really care about, you don't have to be pushed. The vision pulls you.
如果你在做一些你真正关心的令人兴奋的事情,你就不需要被逼迫。远景吸引着你。
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。
Imagination should be used, not to escape reality but to create it.
想象不应该用来逃避现实,而应该用来创造现实。
Friends are like windows through which you see out into the world and back into yourself. If you don't have friends you see much less than you otherwise might.
朋友就像一扇窗户,透过它你可以看到外面的世界,也可以看到你自己。如果你没有朋友,你看到的东西就会比平时少很多。
Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.
感恩使我们的过去变得有意义,为今天带来和平,为明天创造愿景。
