By Theodore Roosevelt (former U.S. President)
I dream of men who take the next step instead of worrying about the next thousand steps.
我嚮往那些踏出下一步，而非憂慮下一千步該怎麼走的人。

By Steve Jobs (Co-founder, Chairman, and CEO of Apple Inc. and former CEO of Pixar Animation Studios)
"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. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart."
幾乎所有東西 -- 外界的期望、尊嚴、害怕失敗的尷尬 -- 這些東西在死亡跟前統統站不住腳，唯有真正重要的東西能留下來。據我所知，緊記自己正步向死亡最能避免墮入憂慮自己有所失的思想陷阱。你已經一無所有，沒理由不聽從你的心行事。

"If you hear a voice within you say, 'You are not a painter,' then by all means paint...and that voice will be silenced."
假如你聽見腦內一把聲音說「你不是當畫家的材料」，盡你的所能去畫吧！然後那把聲音自會閉嘴。

If I could only give three words of advice, they would be "tell the truth". If I got three more words, I'd add:"All the time".
假如我只能給你三個字的建議，那將是「說實話」；假如我能多說三個字，我會加上「何時也(說實話)」。

The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out; the brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. The brick walls are there to stop the people who don't want it badly enough. They are there to stop the other people!
難以逾越的障礙自有其存在意義。它的存在並非為將我們阻檔在外，而是要讓我們有機會去展現自己到底有多渴望得到某些東西。障礙是為了阻止那些渴求得不夠殷切強烈的人而存在，是為了阻止其他人(而不是我和你)而存在！

Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted.
當你得不到想要的東西時，你取得的那個就叫經驗。

An injured lion wants to know if he can still roar. It's about dignity and self-esteem, which isn't quite the same as vanity.
一隻負傷的獅子想知道自己是否仍能咆哮，那是攸關尊嚴與自尊，跟虛榮是不一樣的。

終わってしまったことを、
悔やんでも、もう遅い。
でも後悔するような生き方をしたことに、気づかないで過ごすより、ずっといい。
そこからまた新しいスタートを切ることができるのだから。
已經過去的事情，即使後悔亦於事無補。
不過懷着追悔的心過活，總比毫不察覺來得好。
正因為有所覺悟，才能夠揮別那段過去，從頭開始。

「出会った瞬間に別れは始まっている」と誰かが言っていた。ならば、「別れた瞬間に新しい何かが始まる」と信じよう。
有人說，人們在相遇的瞬間便注定要別離。要是如此，不如相信在離別的瞬間有些甚麼新的東西正在醞釀。

心に溜まった思いは、放っておいてもなくならない；
捨て切れないもの、でも、捨てなきゃいけないもの、
きちんと整理して、いい思い出だけを仕舞い込んで、
また、前に進もう！
在心底堆積的回憶，即使放着它不管也不會消失的。
捨不得放下，卻又不得不放下的東西，
好好地整理一下，把美好的回憶收起，
然後再次上路～努力面前吧！

如果「擁有」那麼難，那就學習「放下」吧。

The brain is a wonderful organ. It starts working the moment you get up in the morning and does not stop until you get to work.
大腦是很神奇的一個器官。它自早上醒來開始運作，直到我們開始工作才會停頓。

再好的女子一結婚也變怪物，因為生活逼人。她們變得錙銖比較，因為要維護地盤，變得妒忌惡糾，多麼可惜。

有甚麼問題？問題就是他們覺得這種援交一點問題也沒有。買的賣的，都沒有了一種東西，叫羞恥心。這東西跟青春一樣，失去了就是失去了。
