Labor to Be Tactful

机智处世

“Tact is the art of making a point without making an enemy.”

A wise man said， “A gentle answer turns away wrath， but a harsh word stirs up anger.” We can all polish up on our tact， our diplomacy， our discretion， our delicacy， and our gracefulness. He also said， “Like apples of gold in settings of silver is a word spoken in right circumstances.”

“机智是一门艺术，它不仅能使你表达自己的看法，而且也不会使你树敌万千。”

一位智者说过：“回答柔和，使怒消退；言语暴戾，触动怒气。”通过机智圆滑的处世之道，不论是我们的交际手腕、判断力还是行为举止都将更加出色。他也说过：“一句话说得合宜，就如金苹果在银网子里。”

Think Patiently

耐心思考

“If I have done the public any service， it is due to my patient thought.”

We dont spend enough time patiently thinking！ Albert Einstein said， “Its not that Im so smart， its just that I stay with problems longer.” If you would just take some time daily to think， you could solve many of your problems. You could even solve some of the worlds problems.

“我之所以能够为社会做出贡献，这都要归功于耐心的思考。”

我们总不愿拿出足够的时间和耐心去思考问题。爱因斯坦也曾说过：“我并不是天才，只是我比普通人思考问题的时间更长。”如果你能够每天抽出一部分时间思考，你的很多问题都将得到解决，甚至可以解决一些全球性的问题。

Labor to be Build Bridges 构建桥梁

“We build too many walls and not enough bridges in our hearts.”

Tony Robbins said， “The quality of your life is the quality of your relationships.” This is why you must spend your time building bridges instead of walls. When you “build bridges”， you are literally building a better life. When we build walls， we are stagnating our own growth. Joseph said， “People are lonely because they build walls instead of bridges.”

“我们心中修葺了太多围墙，却鲜有沟通彼此的桥梁。”

托尼·罗宾斯说过：“人际关系决定一个人的生活质量。”这就是为什么你要花费时间来构建通往他人心墙内的桥梁。可以说当你构建了桥梁，你也就创造了更加美好的生活。而当我们只顾着搭盖围墙时，我们自身的发展也就停滞不前了。约瑟夫说：“人们感到孤独，是因为他们在人与人之间筑了墙，而不是搭了桥。”

Chase After Knowledge 追逐知识

“If I have seen further than others， it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.”

Theres no need to recreate the wheel. To make progress， all you must do is to build on what others have already done， and commence by learning what others know.

When you chase after knowledge， you strategically position yourself on the shoulders of giants； then you are able to see what others cant see.

“如果说我比别人看得更远，那是因为我站在巨人的肩膀上。”

没必要自垒阵营，你只有在前人已有的基础上不断进步、学习其他人知道的事情才行。

当你汲取知识的时候，你可以从前人已知的开始入手，正如具有战略性地站在巨人的肩膀上一般，这样你就能掌握他人不了解的知识。

Pursue the Truth 追求真理

“A man may imagine things that are false， but he can only understand things that are true， for if the things be false， the apprehension of them is not understanding.”

We must pursue the truth！ Theres an anonymous quote that goes， “The truth is heavy， therefore few care to carry it.” We should be one of those who pursue the truth both night and day. Blaise Pascal （French matematician） said， “Once your soul has been enlarged by truth， it can never return to its original size.”

“人类可能会猜测一些事情是错误的，但他只能够明白这些事是真实存在，却不明白它错在哪，这便是人们对真理的不理解。”

我们必须追求真理！有这样一句谚语：“真理沉重，因此少有人承载它。”我们应该做一个每天都在追逐真理的人。布莱士·帕斯卡（法国数学家）说过：“一旦你的灵魂被真理延伸，它绝不会再回到最初的形态。”
