先說個無關的,「不要以貌取人」的英文是”Never judge a book by its cover”,直翻就是「不要用一本書的封面去評斷它」。但我必須坦承,我就真的很容易因為書的封面好看,提升我拿起它一讀的興趣,比如說這本就是。大片白色配上莫蘭迪色系點綴,就是舒服。這本書呢,從封面、配色、附圖、文字,都能感受到是一本風格非常一致的書籍——簡潔、俐落,所以好讀。
最後,我想分享作者曾在她IG引用過的一篇英文的詩(不好意思就有我這種變態follower會認真往回看很久的舊文:P),叫做“In Your Time Zone”
New York is 3 hours ahead of California,
but it does not make California slow. Someone graduated at the age of 22,
but waited 5 years before securing a good job! Someone became a CEO at 25,
and died at 50. While another became a CEO at 50,
and lived to 90 years. Someone is still single,
while someone else got married. Obama retires at 55,
but Trump starts at 70. Absolutely everyone in this world works based on their Time Zone. People around you might seem to go ahead of you,
some might seem to be behind you. But everyone is running their own RACE, in their own TIME. Don’t envy them or mock them. They are in their TIME ZONE, and you are in yours! Life is about waiting for the right moment to act. So, RELAX. You’re not LATE. You’re not EARLY. You are very much ON TIME, and in your TIME ZONE.
