23、The greatest source of misery and hatred in this world is clinging to past hurts.Look at all the terrorists and militant groups that hark back to some event long gone, or base their justification for killing on claims of some supposed historical right to a bit of land, or redress for a wrong done hundreds of years ago.

　　如果有人抱怨你太特立独行，恭喜你，你正走在正确的路上。谁愿意像动物一样活着？那些强有力的家伙们不希望你按照自己的意愿去做，他们希望你停止给他们制造麻烦并听从他们的命令。但你得知道，你无法做到在卑躬屈膝的同时又能活出自我。

　　接纳自己。不管你怎么努力，你都无法逃避成为自己。除了自己，你还能成为谁呢？你可以扮演和假装，但进行扮演和假装的人还是你自己。如果你都无法接纳自己，没有努力挖掘自己已有的东西，那么谁有义务接纳你呢？

　　
34、When it comes to blatant lies, there are none more egregious than budget figures.Time spent agonizing over them is time wastedEven if ——miracle of miracles! yours are honest and accurate, no one else will have been so foolish.

38、If you make your work your life, you’re making your life into hard workLike most people,I confused myself by looking at people like artists and musicians whose life’s “work” fills their timeThat isn’t workIt’s who they areUnless you have some overwhelming passion that also happens to allow you to earn a living doing it, always remember that work should be a means to an end: living an enjoyable lifeSpend as little time on the means as possible consistent with achieving the endOnly idiots live to work.

　　如果你将工作等同于生活，那么你将为工作而生活。和很多人一样，当看到那些艺术家和音乐家的工作几乎是全部的生活，我感到很困惑。其实那不是工作，那是他们的自我。除非你有无法抵挡的激情，恰巧也能让你从中得以谋生，否则请永远记住，工作只是一种手段，而不是目的，我们的最终目的是享受生活。在实现目的的同时，尽可能地少花时间在手段上。只有傻瓜才是为工作而生活。
