A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS

抱负

Ambition

It is the nature of ambition to make men liars and cheats, to hide the truth in their breasts, and show, like jugglers, another thing in their mouths, to cut all friendships and enmities to the measure of their own interest, and to make a good countenance without the help of good will.

雄心使人的本质是说谎者和骗子,把真相藏在他们的胸部,并显示,像杂技演员一样,另一个在嘴里,削减所有的友谊和敌意的衡量自己的兴趣,并使一个好的面容没有善意的帮助。

My goal was never to just create a company. A lot of people misinterpret that, as if I don't care about revenue or profit or any of those things. But what not being just a company means to me is not being just that - building something that actually makes a really big change in the world.

我的目标绝不仅仅是创建一家公司。很多人误解了这一点,好像我不关心收入或利润之类的东西。但对我来说,不仅仅是一家公司意味着什么,并不仅仅是建立一家真正能给世界带来巨大变化的公司。

What drew me to politics in the first place was the fact that I wanted to have a place to take a stand and use my voice to express what I believed in. But I've no longer got any political aspirations. I feel that as a politician, fifty per cent of people would hate you before you even left the house.

吸引我从政的第一个原因是,我想有一个地方表明自己的立场,用我的声音来表达我的信仰。但我不再有任何政治抱负。我觉得作为一个政治家,在你离开家之前,百分之五十的人会恨你。

I think that everyone at any age should ask themselves, 'where do I want to be today, where do I want to be tomorrow, and where do I want to be in a hundred years?' We all have clear answers to those questions. We only have so much time. It's a real shame if we don't spend our lives trying to do that.

我认为任何年龄的人都应该问自己,‘今天我想成为什么样的人,明天我想成为什么样的人,一百年后我想成为什么样的人?对于这些问题,我们都有明确的答案。我们只有这么多时间。如果我们不花毕生的精力去做那件事,那真是太遗憾了。

Learn to live in this world with self-respect. You should always cherish some ambition of doing something in this world. But remember that the age of selflessness has ended. A new epoch is set in. All things are now possible because of your being able to participate in the politics and legislature of your country.

学会带着自尊生活在这个世界上。你应该永远怀着在这个世界上做点什么的雄心壮志。但请记住,无私的时代已经结束。一个新的时代开始了。因为你们能够参与你们国家的政治和立法,现在所有的事情都是可能的。
