East of Eden伊甸之东（英文原版·《愤怒的葡萄》作者自认为巅峰史诗作品）

看了一点，抄下来 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. 在充满危险与微妙性的人事处理中，仓促行事会极大限制事情的顺利解决。人们常常因为急于求成而犯错。若要妥善完成一项艰巨而微妙的任务，首先应明确要达成的目标，一旦认定该目标是值得追求的，就应将其完全抛诸脑后，全神贯注于实现目标的手段。如此，便不会因焦虑、匆忙或恐惧而做出错误的举动。懂得这一点的人极少。
