你必須用手中的牌玩下去
艾森豪威爾年輕的時候,有一次和家人玩牌,他連續幾次都拿到很糟糕的牌,情緒非常不好,態度也開始惡劣起來。她母親見狀說了段令他刻骨銘心的話:“你必須用你手中的牌玩下去,就好比人生,發牌的是上帝,不管是怎樣的牌,你都必須拿著,你所做的就是盡你全力,求得最好的結果。”
沒有人或事物可以阻擋具有正確心態的人達成他的目標. 沒有人或事物可以幫助擁有錯誤心態的人.
-- 湯瑪士 傑佛遜
Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.
-- Thomas Jefferson
[CD note]: Too many times we complain about things or people around us for our poor performance and failure. In a recent research, when asked "what is the most regretful thing in your life?", over 70% of the senior people answered that they didn't work hard enough to achieve their goals when they were young. Why do you have to wait until the end of your life to realize it's all about you? Opportunity doesn't come free. We'll have to earn it. In the wake of the seniors' regret, I'll work harder tomorrow, regardless what hits me down the road.
