East of Eden伊甸之東（英文原版·《憤怒的葡萄》作者自認爲巔峯史詩作品）

看了一點，抄下來 In human affairs of danger and delicacy successful conclusion is sharply limited by hurry. So often men trip by being in a rush. If one were properly to perform a difficult and subtle act, he should first inspect the end to be achieved and then, once he had accepted the end as desirable, he should forget it completely and concentrate solely on the means. By this method he would not be moved to false action by anxiety or hurry or fear. Very few people learn this. 在充滿危險與微妙性的人事處理中，倉促行事會極大限制事情的順利解決。人們常常因爲急於求成而犯錯。若要妥善完成一項艱鉅而微妙的任務，首先應明確要達成的目標，一旦認定該目標是值得追求的，就應將其完全拋諸腦後，全神貫注於實現目標的手段。如此，便不會因焦慮、匆忙或恐懼而做出錯誤的舉動。懂得這一點的人極少。
