A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
抱负
Ambition
Ambition makes the same mistake concerning power that avarice makes concerning wealth. She begins by accumulating power as a means to happiness, and she finishes by continuing to accumulate it as an end.
野心对权力所犯的错误和贪婪对财富所犯的错误是一样的。她以积累力量作为获得幸福的手段开始，以不断积累力量作为结束。
Being an astronaut is a wonderful career. I feel very privileged. But what I really hope for young people is that they find a career they're passionate about, something that's challenging and worthwhile.
成为一名宇航员是一项美好的事业。我感到非常荣幸。但我真正希望的是，年轻人能找到一份自己热爱的职业，一份富有挑战性和价值的职业。
I decided that my means were sufficient to enable me to devote myself to botany, a determination which I never, during the long period of my subsequent career, had on any occasion any reason to repent of.
我决定，我的收入足以使我献身于植物学，在我后来漫长的职业生涯中，我从来没有在任何情况下有任何理由后悔这一决心。
Let others lead small lives, but not you. Let others argue over small things, but not you. Let others cry over small hurts, but not you. Let others leave their future in someone else's hands, but not you.
让别人过渺小的生活，而不是你。让别人为小事争论，而不是你。让别人为小小的伤痛而哭泣，而不是你。让别人把自己的未来交给别人，而不是你。
I would like to win the Pulitzer Prize. I would like to win the Nobel Prize. I would like to win a Tony award for the Broadway musical I'm now working on. Aside from these, my aspirations are modest ones.
我想获得普利策奖。我想获得诺贝尔奖。我想为我正在创作的百老汇音乐剧赢得托尼奖。除此之外，我的抱负并不高。
The problem is that resuscitating old labels doesn't work anymore. I think it is very important to give hope to a new generation of designers, so that one day they really can put their own names out there.
问题是，重新启用旧的标签已经不管用了。我认为给新一代设计师带来希望是非常重要的，这样有一天他们就可以真正地把自己的名字写出来。
One of the things I realized early in my career is that you do what you believe, in knowing that if you don't, you will never like yourself. When you compromise out of fear or ambition, it eats inside you.
在我职业生涯的早期，我意识到的一件事是，你做你相信的事，知道如果你不相信，你永远不会喜欢你自己。当你出于恐惧或野心而妥协时，它会侵蚀你的内心。
It's such a cliche thing to say. I want to choreograph, I want to direct, I want to act, I want to write music, I want to play music, I want to sing. For me, it's never-ending. I want to do it all, really.
这是一种陈词滥调。我想编舞，我想导演，我想表演，我想写音乐，我想演奏音乐，我想唱歌。对我来说，这是永无止境的。我真的想做这一切。
The way to activate the seeds of your creation is by making choices about the results you want to create. When you make a choice, you activate vast human energies and resources, which otherwise go untapped.
激活你创造的种子的方法是选择你想要创造的结果。当你做出选择时，你激活了巨大的人力资源和能量，否则这些资源和能量是无法被利用的。
The biggest problem in rock journalism is that often the writer's main motivation is to become friends with the band. They're not really journalists; they're people who want to be involved in rock and roll.
摇滚新闻最大的问题是，作者的主要动机往往是与乐队成为朋友。他们不是真正的记者;他们是想参与摇滚乐的人。
It's all about how can you take care of yourself when furthering your life's goals and ambitions, and purpose and whatever you choose - family, career - to maintain a really balanced, whole, healthy outlook.
这一切都是关于你如何照顾好自己，当你推进你的生活目标和抱负，目标和无论你选择什么——家庭，事业——保持一个真正平衡的，完整的，健康的前景。
There is, however, another purpose to which academies contribute. When they consist of a limited number of persons, eminent for their knowledge, it becomes an object of ambition to be admitted on their list.
然而，学术机构还有另一个作用。当他们由少数以知识著称的人组成时，被列入他们的名单就成了雄心壮志的目标。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
There is no limit to what a man can do so long as he does not care a straw who gets the credit for it.
一个人所能做的事情是没有极限的，只要他不在乎谁得到了荣誉。
Empty pockets never held anyone back. Only empty heads and empty hearts can do that.
空口袋从来不会阻碍任何人。只有空洞的头脑和心灵才能做到这一点。
The road to freedom must be uphill, even if it is arduous and frustrating.
通往自由的道路必须是上坡路，即使它是艰难和令人沮丧的。
The more books we read, the clearer it becomes that the true function of a writer is to produce a masterpiece and that no other task is of any consequence.
我们读的书越多，就越清楚地认识到，作家的真正职责是创作一部杰作，没有其他任何任务是重要的。
Don't undertake a project unless it is manifestly important and nearly impossible.
不要承担一个项目，除非它是明显重要的，几乎是不可能的。
The essential conditions of everything you do must be choice, love, passion.
你所做的每件事的基本条件必须是选择、爱和激情。
