选择有道。生活中的许多事都要看你是否有选择能力。只靠智慧或学习能力是不够的,你需要有良好的品味和正确的判断力。若想成为精英,必须精于选择。这就需要你做到两件事:有能力选择和能够作出最佳选择。许多人头脑聪敏,有敏锐的判断力,且博学多闻,可是面临选择时仍是不知所措。他们总是挑选最糟糕的东西,好像要故意犯错。所以,懂得如何选择是最伟大的天赋之一。
know how to choose well. most of life depends thereon. it needs good taste and correct judgment, for which neither intellect nor study suffices. to be choice, you must choose, and for this two things are needed: to be able to choose at all, and then to choose the best. there are many men of fecund and subtle mind, of keen judgment, of much learning, and of great observation who yet are at a loss when they come to choose. they always take the worst as if they had tried to go wrong. thus this is one of the greatest gifts from above.
