OPTIMISM | 樂觀 |
The essence of optimism is that it takes no account
of the present, but it is a source of inspiration, of vitality and hope where others have
resigned; it enables a man to hold his head high, to claim the future for himself and not
to abandon it to his enemy. Dietrich Bonhoeffer 樂觀的真諦在於不拘泥於當下,而是成為他人放棄時的靈感、活力與希望之源;它讓人昂首闊步,為自己掌握未來,而不將其拱手讓給敵人。 |
I'm a pessimist because of
intelligence, but an optimist because of will. Antonio Gramsci 因為理智,我是悲觀主義者;但因為意志,我是樂觀主義者。 |
'Tis always morning somewhere in the world. Richard Henry Horne 世間總有一處,永迎晨曦。 |
Let us be of good cheer,
however, remembering that the misfortunes hardest to bear are those which never come. James Russell Lowell 然而,讓我們心懷喜樂,記住最難承受的不幸,往往是那些從未發生的事。 |
In these times you have to be an optimist to open
your eyes when you wake in the morning. Carl Sandburg 在這樣的時代,清晨睜眼迎接新的一天,須懷抱樂觀之心。 |
Few things in the world are
more powerful than a positive push. A smile. A word of optimism and hope. A "you can
do it" when things are tough. Richard M. DeVos 世間少有事物比積極的鼓勵更具力量。一個微笑,一句樂觀與希望的話語,或是在艱難時的一聲『你可以的』,皆足以激勵人心。 |
