如果我目空一切,就想起自己怯懦的时候。
如果我不可一世,就抬起头来仰望群星。
从此,我能识别和辨认人类所有情绪变化的奥秘,包括自己的在内。从今以后,无论我的个人情绪如何变化,我会随时做出积极的行动来控制。一旦我控制了自己的情绪,就掌握了自己的命运,也将成为自己的主人,变得卓尔不群。

Two Commandments Are Enough
佩吉?伍德 / Peggy Wood
Occasionally my mother used to announce that she was going to take time out from the day’s activities “to rest”, she would say, “and to invite my soul.” She always put the phrase in quotes, in order, I expect, to divert the facetious remarks which might arise from the worldly or practical-minded folk within earshot or to disarm those who might feel“soul” was a Sunday word not to be used in everyday conversation.
