只思考不行動

Many of the problems in life are because of two reasons: We act without thinking or we keep thinking without acting.

生活中的大多數問題都源於兩點：不思考就行動和只思考不行動。

最難的是決定去行動，剩下的只是毅力而已。

最難的是決定去行動，剩下的只是毅力而已。

The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity.

「只要有值得持續努力的目標，我就不會失去動力，也不會產生迷惘；會迷惘的人，都是因為失去自己的主軸。」

新的一年，找到自己的定位，勇敢前進吧！

一直在迷惘時用來提醒自己，不要迷惘向前進吧！

停止說：我希望，並開始說：我將會

"The easiest thing in the world is to come up with an excuse not to do something. I found that the most important thing in life is to stop saying, I wish, and to start saying, I will." – David Copperfield, Magician

「世上最容易的是找藉口，我發現人生最重要的是停止說：我希望，並開始說：我將會。」

– 大衛‧考柏菲

我只有今天，而我將會快樂。

"I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn’t arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I’m going to be happy in it." – Groucho Marx, Comedian

「是我，不是事情，有能力決定我今天快不快樂，我可以選擇。昨日已逝，明日尚未到來，我只有今天，而我將會快樂。」– 格魯喬‧馬克思

Arrogance is a killer

Arrogance is a killer, and wearing ambition on one's sleeve can have the same effect. There is a fine line between arrogance and self-confidence. Legitimate self-confidence is a winner. The true test of self-confidence is the courage to be open—to welcome change and new ideas regardless of their source. Self-confident people aren't afraid to have their views challenged. They relish the intellectual combat that enriches ideas. —Jack Welch

自大會毀了你，把野心像臂章一樣掛在手上也是。自大與自信是不同的，合理的自信會幫助你得到勝利。自信的終極測試是「張開雙臂」的勇氣──歡迎所有的改變與主意，無論來源是哪裡。自信的人不怕自己的觀點被挑戰，他們享受激發進步的辯論過程。──前 GE 執行長傑克威爾許

Your heart is free. Have the courage to follow it.

Your heart is free. Have the courage to follow it.

你只需要每天都做得比前一天好就可以了。

You forget what you want to remember

You forget what you want to remember
and you remember what you want to forget.

I am a slow walker，but I never walk backwards。

我走的很慢，但我決不後退。

邁向任何地方的第一步，就是下決心不在原地踏步。

The first step towards getting somewhere is to decide that you are not going to stay where you are.

邁向任何地方的第一步，就是下決心不在原地踏步。

不要只因一次失敗，就放棄你原來決心想達到的目的。

Do not, for one repulse, give up the purpose that you resolved to effect .

不要只因一次失敗，就放棄你原來決心想達到的目的。


英國劇作家 莎士比亞

把不明確的困難轉化為特定、具體的形式，是思考過程中一個非常重要的元素。

– J.P. Morgan, Banker

試圖透過幽默加上一些鮮明的色彩，你的人生將明亮起來。
