“There is always a reason, in the man, for his good or bad fortune in making money. Men talk as if there were some magic about this. He knows that all goes on the old road, pound for pound, cent for cent — for every effect a perfect cause — and that good luck is another name for tenacity of purpose.”
「人在賺錢過程中遇到的好運及壞運,都有它的理由,人們卻說得彷佛有魔力介入,但這道理放諸四海皆準,每一鎊、每一分錢 – 因為每一結果都有它相對應的原因 – 而運氣只是對目標執著的代名詞。」– 拉爾夫‧愛默生 (詩人)
“Luck? I don’t know anything about luck. I’ve never banked on it, and I’m afraid of people who do. Luck to me is something else: hard work – and realizing what is opportunity and what isn’t.”
「運氣?我不相信運氣,我從來就不指望它,而且我害怕指望它的人。運氣對我來說是另一回事:努力 – 而且知道什麼是機會,什麼不是。」– 露西爾‧鮑爾 (演員)
“Luck has nothing to do with it, because I have spent many, many hours, countless hours, on the court working for my one moment in time, not knowing when it would come.”
「運氣與成功沒有關係,因為我花了很多、很多小時,無數個小時在球場上練習,只為了那特別的一刻,雖然不知它何時來臨。」– 小威廉絲 (網球選手)
“One-half of life is luck; the other half is discipline – and that’s the important half, for without discipline you wouldn’t know what to do with luck.”
「人生一半是靠運氣,另一半則是靠紀律 – 那是比較重要的一半,因為缺乏紀律你將不知道怎麼處理你的好運。」– 卡爾‧朱科麥爾 (劇作家)
