“Every failure, obstacle or hardship is an opportunity in disguise. Success in many cases is failure turned inside out. The greatest pollution problem we face today is negativity. Eliminate the negative attitude and believe you can do anything. Replace ‘if I can, I hope, maybe’ with ‘I can, I will, I must.'”
— Mary Kay Ash, Entrepreneur
「每一个失败、障碍及困境,都是一个潜在的机会,成功在很多时候是失败的里外翻转。我们今天最大的污染源是负面思维,剔除负面态度并相信你可以做任何事,把『如果我可以、我希望、或许』替换为『我可以、我将要、我必须』。」– 玫琳凯‧艾施 (化妆品先驱)
