18 We Are What We Choose
選擇塑造人生——杰夫?貝索斯
...............................................................319
Cleverness is a gift, kindness is a choice. Gifts are easy —
they’re given after all. Choices can be hard. You can seduce
yourself with your gifts if you’re not careful, and if you do,
it’ll probably be to the detriment of your choices.
聰明是一種天賦,而善良是一種選擇。天賦得來(lái)很容易——畢竟它們與生俱來(lái)。而選擇卻頗為艱難。如果一不小心,你可能被天賦所誘惑,這可能會(huì)損害到你做出的選擇。
