未來有很多個名字，對於勇士，意味著理想。

The future has several names. For the weak, it is impossible; for the fainthearted, it is unknown; but for the valiant, it is ideal.

未來有很多個名字。

對於弱者，它是無望；對於懦夫，它是未知；然而對於勇士，它意味著理想。

- Victor Hugo 維克多·雨果

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

Appreciation is a wonderful thing

Appreciation is a wonderful thing; it makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well.

懂得欣賞很棒；能讓他人優點也變成我們的。

───法國思想家 伏爾泰Voltaire

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

想像力可以帶領你到任何地方

“Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere." – Albert Einstein

“邏輯將帶領你從 A 到 B，但想像力可以帶領你到任何地方。" – 愛因斯坦

More than yesterday, but less than tomorrow.

我女兒有一次問我：「Do you love me?（你愛我嗎？）」

我回答：「More than yesterday, but less than tomorrow.（比昨天多一點，但是比明天少。）」

她歪頭想了想，然後溫馨地笑了。

孩子永遠是父母心頭最愛的人，不要害羞大膽的說出來吧。

工作時工作，玩樂時玩樂。

記得為自己點亮一盞燈

「Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one remembers to turn on the light.」

即使在最黑暗的時刻，幸福也是有跡可循的，只要你記得為自己點亮一盞燈。

J·K·羅琳以鄧布利多(Dumbledore)的名義，寫信給在德克薩斯槍擊案中失去父母和親人的Cassidy Stay。

當一扇幸福之門關閉時，另一扇就會打開。

When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.

當一扇幸福之門關閉時，另一扇就會打開。
但我們經常過多地盯著那扇關閉的門，而對新開啟的門卻熟視無睹

海倫·凱勒
