金玉良言,智慧人生

卷首語

“When you meet someone for the first time, realise that you know nothing about them. You see race, gender[性別], age, clothes. Forget it. You know nothing. Those biased[有偏見的] assumptions[假定] that pop into[急急走進] your head because of the way your brain likes categories[種類], are limiting your life, and others’ lives.”—author unknown

“People will always remember how you made them feel.” —BlushRedTail

“Remember that life is like a bank account[銀行賬戶]:

You don’t want to spend everything you have right away, but you don’t want to be a miser[守財奴] and save every penny. Yes, you’re only young once, but, with any luck, you’ll also be old at some point. Plan on a career[事業], but don’t let it overcome[壓倒] the rest of your life. Take care of yourself, but don’t make it an obsession[迷戀,困擾]. Focus on your kids, but leave room in your life for yourself. Save enough money so that you’ll have enough for the future and for emergencies[緊急事件], but spend enough now to avoid[避免] looking back with regret.”—author unknown

“Friends are few and far in between. You will recognise them when you need them and they are there for you. Nurse[照料] those friendships, they are rare. Try to be a friend.”—Rudolph Diesel

“Listen more than talk. And ‘listening’doesn’t mean waiting for the other person to shut up so you can start talking again.”—YesRocketScience
