第7章 理念篇(3)

One of the most difficult lessons for ambitious young people to learn is that when you try to make an impression,that is the impression you make.Those whose center of emotional gravity is deeply embedded are willing to wait quietly in line until they are discovered.

有志向的年轻人需要记取的最深刻的教训是:当你力图在人前留下印象的时候,其实这时你已经给人留下了印象。那些谨慎、不感情用事的人在他们被发现之前,总愿意默默地等候。

The desire to be well thought of makes people reluctant to say no to anyone regarding anything.We should cultivate an ability for which we have no time,no to activities for which we have no time,no talent,and in which we have no interest or real concern.If we learn to say no to many things,then we will be able to say yes to things that matter most.

想给别人留下一个好印象的愿望使人对任何人,任何事都不愿说“不”字。 我们应该培养这样一种能力:对于一切活动,当我们没有时间,没有能力去参加,不感兴趣或是不很关心时,要有勇气说“不”字。如果我们学会拒绝许多事,那么就可以把精力投入到更重要的事情中。
