Would that there were an award for people who come to understand the concept of enough. Good enough. Successful enough. Thin enough. Rich enough. Socially responsible enough. When you have self-respect, you have enough.

  • -- Gail Sheehy 希伊

要是能给那些懂得“足够”这个概念的人颁发一个奖项就好了。不够好。成功的足够了。薄不够。足够富有。社会责任不够。当你有自尊的时候,你就足够了。
