There is no such thing as a "self-made" man. We are made up of thousands of others. Everyone who has ever done a kind deed for us, or spoken one word of encouragement to us, has entered into the make-up of our character and of our thoughts, as well as our success.

  • -- George Matthew Adams 乔治·马修·亚当斯

没有所谓的“白手起家”的人。我们是由成千上万的人组成的。每一个曾经为我们做过一件好事,或对我们说过一句鼓励的话的人,都已经成为我们性格、思想以及成功的组成部分。
