Compromise, Charles Conrad

Making an issue of little things is one of the surest ways to spoil happiness. One’s personal pride is felt to be vitally injured by surrender, but there is no quality of human nature so nearly royal as the ability to yield gracefully. It shows small confidence in one’s own nature to fear that compromise lessens self-control. To consider constantly the comfort and happiness of another is not a sign of weakness but of strength.

- Charles Conrad

사소한 일을 크게 만드는 것은 행복을 망치는 지름길이다. 타협을 하면 자존심에 엄청난 상처를 입는 기분이겠지만, 인간의 본성에는 우아하게 소리 지르기처럼 휘황찬란한 능력은 존재하지 않는다. 타협이 자제력을 저하시킬지 모른다는 두려움은 자신감의 결핍을 보여주는 것에 지나지 않는다. 타인의 안락과 행복을 지속적으로 살피는 것은 나약함의 증거가 아니라, 강인함의 증거이다.

- 찰스 콘래드 (Charles Conrad)

Attitude, Herb Kelleher


We are looking for people who have to excel to satisfy themselves and who work well in a collegial environment. We don’t care that much about education and expertise, because we can train people to do whatever they have to do. We hire attitudes.

- Herb Kelleher (1931- )


More and more companies are putting a greater emphasis on attitude rather than skill. It is much harder to try and reform someone’s mentality than it is to teach a skill. However, it is undeniable that the most talented people are those who possess an excellent character, attitude as well as the necessary skills.

Beauty, Zhuangzi


毛嬙、麗姬,人之所美也,魚見之深入,鳥見之高飛,麋鹿見之決驟。

- 莊子, 齊物論

Mao Qiang(毛嬙) and Li Ji(麗嬉) were accounted by men to be most beautiful, but when fishes saw them, they dived deep in the water from them; when birds, they flew from them aloft; and when deer saw them, they separated and fled away.

- Zhuangzi (莊子), The Adjustment of Controversies (齊物論)
