If a man has talent and can't use it, he's failed. If he uses only half of it, he has partly failed. If he uses the whole of it, he has succeeded, and won a satisfaction and triumph few men ever know.

  • -- Thomas Wolfe 托马斯·沃尔夫

如果一个人有天赋却不能运用,那他就失败了。如果他只使用了其中的一半,他已经部分失败了。如果他充分利用了这一切,他就成功了,并赢得了很少有人知道的满足和胜利。
