My question is this: Are you keeping pace with somebody else? Are you allowing other people to set your standards for you? What about your standards, or principles, for moral behavior? Or guidelines for what kind of attitudes you want? Do you keep pace with those around you, or do you decide yourself just how you will live your life? The truth is... only you are qualified todetermine what your standards will be.
我的问题是:你是在跟着别人的节奏吗?你是在让别人来设定你的标准吗?那么你自己在道德水准上的标准和原则呢?你想采取什么样的态度准则来对待生活呢?你是跟着周围的人的节奏呢,还是自己决定你的生活呢?事实是……只有你自己才有资格决定你的标准是什么。
Set your standards too low, and you’ll know only discontent. But set high standards and you can live an immeasurably full and worthwhile life. For only when you reach for the best that is within yourself, will you experience great living.
将你的标准定得太低,你只会感到不满。但将标准定得高一些,你就会过得无比充实和满足。只有当你达到自己内心的最高境界时,你才能过得很好。
Who is setting your standards?
是谁在制定你的标准呢?
