Life 生命
Life 生命
——Helen Keller
生命要么是一場勇敢的冒險,要么什么都不是。
——海倫·凱勒
Alexander Payne
Have fun. Life is really, really, really short. So have a lot of fun. Work hard. Play hard. Buy low. Sell high. The way you do anything is the way you do everything. The love you take is equal to the love you make. Don’t die with regrets. You’ll regret it.
——Alexander Payne
享受吧,生命太太太短了。所以盡情享受吧。努力工作,盡情玩樂。買低,售高。始終如一。你得到的愛等量于你付出的愛。不要帶著遺憾死去,不然你會后悔的。
——亞歷山大·佩恩
Let me tell you the most important thing in life is to have vision, to know exactly where you’re going.
——Arnold Schwarzenegger
告訴你們,人生最重要的就是要有方向,清楚知道你要去往何方。
——阿諾德·施瓦辛格
Many things will happen in your lives, pleasant and not so pleasant, but paraphrasing a Woodrow Wilson School adage from the time I was here, “Wherever you go, there you are.” If you are not happy with yourself, even the loftiest achievements is not going to bring you much satisfaction.
——Ben Bernanke
你們的一生中會發(fā)生很多事情,有愉快的,也有不那么愉快的,但是用當初我在普林斯頓伍德羅·威爾遜學院的一句格言說,“不論你去哪里,要隨遇而安。”如果你不為自己感到快樂,即使最高的成就都不會給你帶來太多的滿足。
——本·伯南克
There is no love that’s so right as admiration-based love, and that love should include the instructive dead.
——Charlie Munger
沒有一種愛像以崇拜為基礎的愛那樣適宜,這種愛也應包括愛具有啟發(fā)意義的先人。
——查理·芒格
Generally speaking, envy, resentment, revenge and self-pity are disastrous modes of thought. Self-pity gets pretty close to paranoia, and paranoia is one of the very hardest things to reverse. You do not want to drift into self-pity.
——Charlie Munger
通常來講,嫉妒、怨恨、報復和自怨自艾,這些思想狀態(tài)都是極具災難性的。自怨自艾讓人近乎偏執(zhí),而偏執(zhí)又是最難糾正過來的一種心理狀態(tài)。你可不要陷入自怨自艾中。
——查理·芒格
You should enjoy the process of every day. It is the journey of all these every days which will constitute your career, not a precise target. An achievement is not one day in the future. It is the sum of all these moments where you have learned, and loved, and nourished your passion.
——Christian Louboutin
你應該享受每一天的過程。構(gòu)建你職業(yè)生涯的是你活過的每一天,而不是某一個特定的目標。成就并非未來某一天的功成名就,而是所有你在其中學習過、愛過、滋養(yǎng)過激情的時間總和。
——克里斯提·魯布托
David Brooks
That wisdom, I imagine, comes from paying deep and loving attention to the people around you. It comes from many hours of solitary reflection. It comes from reading the greats. It comes from getting out of your own century, thinking outside your own assumptions and embarking on a great lifelong journey toward understanding.
——David Brooks
在我看來,要具備這種睿智,我們需要真情實意地關懷身邊的人,需要在長時間的獨處中自我反省,需要閱讀偉大的著作,需要跳出身處的時代,跳出自有的成見,動身踏上求取理解的終身之旅。
——大衛(wèi)·布魯克斯
Our friend Nietzsche said that he who has a why to live for can endure any how. But if you don’t know what your purpose is then the first failure or setback can totally throw you into a crisis and total collapse.
——David Brooks
我們的朋友尼采說,一個人知道自己為什么而活,就可以忍受任何一種生活。但若不清楚自己為何而活,那么你所遭遇的第一次失敗或挫折便足以讓你身處危機、全線崩潰。
——大衛(wèi)·布魯克斯
Life will offer you a diminishing number of opportunities to show how smart you are. It will offer an infinite number of occasions that require kindness, mercy, grace, sensitivity, sympathy, generosity and love. Life will require that you widen your repertoire of emotions, that you throw yourself headlong into other people.
——David Brooks
生活中可以讓你去顯示自己有多聰明的機會將不斷減少,但生活卻會提供無數(shù)個場合,需要你去展示善良、仁慈、風度、敏感、同情、慷慨和愛。生活將要求你豐富自己的情感,一頭扎進人群中去。
——大衛(wèi)·布魯克斯
The chances you take, the people you meet, the people you love, the faith that you have—that’s what’s going to define you.
——Denzel Washington
你冒的險,你遇到的人,你愛的人,你擁有的信念——這些將定義你是什么樣的人。
——丹澤爾·華盛頓
Don’t always worry about what your next line is supposed to be, what you’re supposed to do next. There’s no script. Live your life. Be in this moment, be in this moment. Now be in this moment.
——Dick Costolo
不要總是擔心你的下一句臺詞應該是什么,你接下來該做什么,沒有劇本。過好生活,活在當下,活在當下。此時,就活在當下。
——迪克·科斯托洛
Your path at 22 will not necessarily be your path at 32 or 42. One’s dream is constantly evolving, rising and falling, changing course. This happens in every job.
——Conan O’Brien
你在22歲時選擇的路并不一定會跟32歲或42歲時相同,人的夢想會不斷演變、起伏、改變方向。各行各業(yè)都是如此。
——柯南·奧布萊恩
Jessica Lange
I would encourage you, with all my heart, to just be present. Be present and open to the moment that is unfolding before you, because, ultimately, your life is made up of moments. So don’t miss them by being lost in the past or anticipating the future. Don’t be absent from your own life.
——Jessica Lange
我衷心地建議你們,活在當下?;钤诋斚?,珍惜眼前展現(xiàn)的瞬間。因為,從根本上說,人生就是由這些瞬間組成。不要因懷念過去或展望未來而忽視當下的日子。不要缺席你自己的生活。
——杰西卡·蘭格
A certain slant of light on a winter’s afternoon.
The sound of spring peepers at twilight.
The taste of a fresh picked strawberry still warm from the sun.
Your child’s laughter.
Your mother’s voice.
These are the things that shape our lives and settle into the fiber of our beings. Don’t take them for granted. Slow down for them. They will take root.
——Jessica Lange
冬日午后斜射進來的一縷陽光,
黃昏時刻的蛙鳴,
沾染著一絲陽光暖意的新摘草莓的味道,
兒女的歡笑,
母親的聲音。
這些片段塑造了我們的人生,也浸染進我們的靈魂。別把這些美好視作理所當然。為它們駐足,讓它們生根。
——杰西卡·蘭格
Love is all-consuming—it infiltrates your body, it allows you to experience bliss, joy and true friendship. You’ll be more disappointed when something goes wrong. You might fall harder. But the only way you’ll reach any height in life and in love is by taking that chance that you might fall.
——John Legend
愛會占據(jù)你生活的全部——它會滲入你的身體,它讓你嘗到美滿、喜悅和真摯的友情的滋味。當出現(xiàn)問題時,你將體會到更強烈的失落感。你也許會傷得更重。但是,唯有冒著可能會受傷的風險,你才能在人生和愛情中有所收獲。
——約翰·傳奇
Ken Burns
History is a mysterious and malleable thing, constantly changing, not just as new information emerges, but as our own interests, emotions and inclinations change. Each generation rediscovers and reexamines that part of the past which gives its present new meaning, new possibility and new power.
——Ken Burns
歷史是神秘的,是可塑的,是不斷變化的,不僅隨著新信息的涌現(xiàn)而變化,而且隨著我們自身的興趣、情感和偏好的變化而改變。每一代人都會重新發(fā)現(xiàn)、重新檢視那段給現(xiàn)在帶來新的意義、新的可能和新的力量的歷史。
——肯·伯恩斯
The past often offers an illuminating and clear-headed perspective from which to observe and reconcile the passions of the present moment, just when they threaten to overwhelm us.
——Ken Burns
過去常??梢蕴峁┮环N具有啟發(fā)性、使人清醒的視角,在當下的熱情將要沖昏我們的頭腦之際,讓我們得以審視并調(diào)和它們。
——肯·伯恩斯
Be curious, not cool. Feed your soul, too. Every day.
——Ken Burns
要懷有好奇心,不要麻木不仁。滋養(yǎng)你的靈魂。每天如此。
——肯·伯恩斯
The sooner that we become less impressed with our life, with our accomplishiments, with our career, with whatever that prospect is in front of us, the sooner we become less impressed and more involved with that and these things, the sooner we get a whole lot better at doing them.
——Matthew McConaughey
對于我們的生活,我們的成就,我們的職業(yè),我們的前程——無論什么樣的前程,我們越快速地以平常心待之,越多地投入其中,就能越早做得更好。
——馬修·麥康納
Don’t be deceived by life’s outcomes. Life’s outcomes, while not entirely random, have a huge amount of luck baked into them.
——Michael Lewis
不要被生活的結(jié)果所欺騙。生活的結(jié)果雖然不完全是隨機的,但的確有不少的運氣成分在里面。
——邁克爾·劉易斯
And for me, and for so many of the people I have known, that’s been a lifesaver. The ultimate lifesaver. It gets you through good times and it gets you through the other ones.
——Neil Gaiman
對于我和我認識的許多人而言,藝術創(chuàng)造就是救贖,最終的救贖。它讓你享受美好時光,也助你度過人生低谷。
——尼爾·蓋曼
Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what’s going to happen next.
——Nina Tassler
生命在于未知,被迫改變,把握當下,過好每一天,沒人知道接下來會發(fā)生什么。
——妮娜·塔斯勒
It is not the things we do in life that we regret on our deathbed. It is the things we do not.
——Randy Pausch
臨終時,讓我們感到后悔的不是人生中那些做過的事,而是那些未做過的事。
——蘭迪·波許
Steve Jobs
Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life, because almost everything—all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure—these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.
——Steve Jobs
“記住生命即將終結(jié)”是我一生中用過的幫我下重大決定的最重要的工具,因為幾乎所有的事情,包括所有外界的期望,所有的驕傲,所有對難堪或失敗的恐懼,在死亡面前都會煙消云散,只留下真正重要的東西。
——史蒂夫·喬布斯
No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because death is very likely the single best invention of life. It is life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new.
——Steve Jobs
沒有人愿意死,人們即使想上天堂,也不會為了去那里而死。但是死亡是我們每個人共同的終點,從來沒有人能夠逃脫。這也是注定的,因為死亡可能是生命中最好的一個發(fā)明。它是生命的轉(zhuǎn)化媒介,它將舊的清除,以便給新的讓路。
——史蒂夫·喬布斯
I came up with a formula, H equals S minus F. Happiness is what life’s about. It doesn’t matter how many yachts you have, what your title is, how much money you make, how many awards you got in life. The day you die if you’ve been running everything tight, but another person is out on the streets homeless, smiling, telling jokes, having a fun time, who would you rather be when you die? And I decided I’d rather be the fun person. So H equals S minus F, happiness equals smiles minus frowns.
——Steve Wozniak
我想出了一個公式:H=S-F。幸福是人生的真諦,不論你有多少游艇,你的頭銜是什么,你掙了多少錢,你一生得過多少獎項。你即將離開人世的那一天,如果還在緊鑼密鼓地安排著一切,可是另外一個人露宿街頭,無家可歸,但卻面帶微笑,講著笑話,非??鞓贰D阆M约核赖臅r候是哪一個呢?我決定我要成為那個快樂的人。因此,H=S-F,就是幸福(happiness)等于笑容(smiles)減去愁容(frowns)。
——史蒂夫·沃茲尼亞克
