拿破仑·希尔（Napoleon Hill，1883.10.26—1969年， 美国励志作家）
Do not wait: the time will never be ‘just right’. Start where you stand, and work whatever tools you may have at your command and better tools will be found as you go along.
不要等待: 时间永远不会是“刚刚好”。就从你所处的位置开始，使用任何你手头可以使用的工具，随着你往前走，你会发现更好的工具。

There is very little difference in people, but that little difference makes a big difference. The little difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it is positive or negative.
人与人之间只有小小的差别。但这个小小的差别却造成了巨大的差别。这个小小的差别是关于人的态度。最大的差别在于它是积极的还是消极的。
When you close the door of your mind to negative thoughts, the door of opportunity opens to you.
当你对消极思想关上心灵之门时，机会之门就会向你敞开。
The number one reason people fail in life is because they listen to their friends, family, and neighbors.

You have absolute control over just one thing, your thoughts. This divine gift is the sole means by which you may control your destiny. If you fail to control your mind, you will control nothing else.
你完全能控制一件事，你的思想。这神圣的礼物是唯一的方法，通过它你可以控制你的命运。如果你不能控制自己的思想，你就无法控制其他任何东西。
It takes half your life before you discover life is a do-it-yourself project.
你需要花半辈子时间才明白生活是一个自己动手的项目。
If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way.

The ability to negotiate with other people without friction and argument is the outstanding quality of all successful people.
所有成功人士的优秀品质是能够与他人进行磋商而不产生摩擦和争论。
You can’t change where you started, but you can change the direction you are going. It’s not what you are going to do, but it’s what you are doing now that counts.
你不能改变你开始的地方，但你可以改变你前进的方向。重要的不是你将要做什么，而是你现在正在做什么。
