2. A word of encouragement during a failure is worth more than an hour of praise after success.
失敗時只言片語的鼓勵,比成功后長篇大論的贊美更有價值。
——英國詩人 John Keats
3. Lifes challenges are not supposed to paralyze you; they are supposed to help you discover who you are.
生命中的挑戰(zhàn)并不是要讓你陷于停頓,而是要幫助你發(fā)現(xiàn)自我。

4. Flatter me, and I may not believe you. Criticize me, and I may not like you. Ignore me, and I may not forgive you. Encourage me, and I may not forget you.
奉承我,我也許不會相信你;批評我,我也許不會喜歡你;忽略我,我也許不會原諒你;鼓勵我,我也許不會忘記你。
——美國經(jīng)濟學家、諾貝爾經(jīng)濟學獎獲得者William Arthur
