51.選擇有道
選擇有道。生活中的許多事都要看你是否有選擇能力。只靠智慧或學習能力是不夠的,你需要有良好的品味和正確的判斷力。若想成為精英,必須精于選擇。這就需要你做到兩件事:有能力選擇和能夠作出最佳選擇。許多人頭腦聰敏,有敏銳的判斷力,且博學多聞,可是面臨選擇時仍是不知所措。他們總是挑選最糟糕的東西,好像要故意犯錯。所以,懂得如何選擇是最偉大的天賦之一。
51.Know how to choose well
Know how to choose well. Most of life depends thereon. It needs good taste and correct judgment, for which neither intellect nor study suffices. To be choice, you must choose, and for this two things are needed: to be able to choose at all, and then to choose the best. There are many men of fecund and subtle mind, of keen judgment, of much learning, and of great observation who yet are at a loss when they come to choose. They always take the worst as if they had tried to go wrong. Thus this is one of the greatest gifts from above.
