约翰伍登名言录

"Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out."
“天助自助者。”

"Never mistake activity for achievement."
“蜜蜂与蝴蝶虽然都在花间飞舞，但一个在创造，一个在虚度。”
（直译版是“永远别把活跃和成就混为一谈。”，但其实我更想翻成“别看现在叫得欢，小心将来拉清单”……）

"Adversity is the state in which man mostly easily becomes acquainted with himself, being especially free of admirers then."
“逆境让我们不再为受人崇拜所累，让我们更容易认识自己。”
（“在逆境中寻找希望，人生终将辉煌。”）

"Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are."
“请重视你的品格更胜于你的名声，因为品格是真实的你，而名声仅是他人如何看你。”

"I'd rather have a lot of talent and a little experience than a lot of experience and a little talent."

"If you don't have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?"
“你若没有时间把事情做对，会有时间从头再来一次么？”

"If you're not making mistakes, then you're not doing anything. I'm positive that a doer makes mistakes."
