幸运之道。幸运自有规律:智者不会只靠运气,运气可以小心维护。有些人满足于徘徊在幸运的机会大门前,期望幸运女神将其打开。有些人做得更好,他们凭借自己的胆大心细,奋勇向前,亲近幸运女神,用美德与英勇的翅膀赢得她的喜爱,进而获益。但是,从真正的人生观来讲,美德与见识才是真正的评判官,因为世上没有幸与不幸之别,只有聪明与愚蠢之分。
the art of being lucky. there are rules of luck: it is not all chance with the wise; it can be assisted by care. some content themselves with placing them selves confidently at the gate of fortune, waiting till she opens it. others do better, and press forward and profit by their clever boldness, reaching the goddess and winning her favour on the wings of their virtue and valor. but on a true philosophy there is no other umpire than virtue and insight, for there is no luck or ill-luck except wisdom and the reverse.
