A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
愿景
Vision
I just feel, in life, I'm searching for something I can rely on, something that's constant and something that's going to guide me through. And I felt that the Northern Star is a very beautiful image of that.
我只是觉得，在生活中，我在寻找一些可以依靠的东西，一些永恒的东西，一些可以指引我度过难关的东西。我觉得北极星是一个非常美丽的图像。
Taking time to sit back and watch and think about what you've seen is important. Traveling did a great deal to me. I found that when I travel and just sit in the corner and watch, a million ideas come to me.
花点时间坐下来看看，想一想你所看到的是很重要的。旅行使我受益匪浅。我发现，当我旅行时，只是坐在角落里看，就会有无数的想法涌上心头。
I think what makes a good actor's director is somebody who understands what I'm doing and is respectful of it, but who also has a vision and is directing me toward their vision in a way that feels productive.
我认为一个好演员的导演应该是这样的人，他理解我在做什么，并且尊重我在做什么，但他也有自己的愿景，并以一种让我感觉富有成效的方式引导我朝着他们的愿景前进。
I know where I'm going to be, I'm not traveling here and there and everywhere. That didn't necessarily prompt me to it but it definitely opened up my mind of saying okay, maybe this is a good time to do this.
我知道我要去哪里，我不会到处旅行。这并不一定促使我这么做，但它确实打开了我的思路，让我说，好吧，也许现在是做这件事的好时机。
Ultimately a hero is a man who would argue with the gods, and so awakens devils to contest his vision. The more a man can achieve, the more he may be certain that the devil will inhabit a part of his creation.

His imagination conceived and bore - worlds; but nothing in these worlds became alive until he discovered its true and living name. The name was the breath of life; and, sooner or later, he invariably found it.

Michael is a funny character, for whom I have a great deal of affection. He sat across his desk and seemed to be a bit of a blunt fellow. We began talking about the characters and he opened up about his vision.

The fellow that can only see a week ahead is always the popular fellow, for he is looking with the crowd. But the one that can see years ahead, he has a telescope but he can't make anybody believe that he has it.

What I learned from Rockefeller that's off-the-hook important is: You need to know exactly where you stand in a business at all times. Measure everything, because everything that is measured and watched improves.

Dreams can become a reality when we possess a vision that is characterized by the willingness to work hard, a desire for excellence, and a belief in our right and our responsiblity to be equal members of society.

A portal is a transitionary device of sight or sound that functions as a sort of third gravitating body between the this and the that, pulling us toward itself, allowing us to bridge into the unknown from the known.

I'm often called an old-fashioned modernist. But the modernists had the absurd idea that architecture could heal the world. That's impossible. And today nobody expects architects to have these grand visions any more.
我经常被称为老式的现代主义者。但是现代主义者有一个荒谬的想法，认为建筑可以拯救世界。这是不可能的。今天，没有人再期望建筑师们拥有这些宏伟的愿景。

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。
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.
