2、在受教導(dǎo)進(jìn)程中，總有一天會(huì)認(rèn)識(shí)到：妒忌是無(wú)知，模擬是自殺。不論好歹，每個(gè)人都必需接收屬于他的那一份，遼闊的世界里固然充斥了珍饈美味，但是只有從給予他往耕耘的那一片土地里，通過辛苦勞動(dòng)收獲的谷物才富有養(yǎng)分。trustthyself:everyheartvibratestothatironstring.accepttheplacethedivineprovidencehasfoundforyou,thesocietyofyourcontemporaries,theconnectionofevents.greatmenhavealwaysdoneso,andconfidedthemselveschi

9、sstheindependenceofsolitude.我必須做的是一切與我有關(guān)的事，而不是別人想要我做的事。這條法則，在現(xiàn)實(shí)生活和精力生涯中都是同樣艱難艱苦的，它是巨大與卑賤的全部差別。它將變得更加艱難，假如你總是碰到一些自認(rèn)為比你自己更理解什么是你的義務(wù)的人。依照世人的觀念在這世界上生活是件輕易的事；依照你自己的觀念，離群索居也不難；但若置身在眾人之間，卻能盡善盡美地怕然堅(jiān)持著個(gè)人獨(dú)立性，卻只有巨人才干辦得到。fornonconformitytheworldwhipsyouwithitsdispleasure.itiseasyenoughforafirmmanwhoknowstheworl
