master

The
young
men
who
rush
into
business
with
no
good
education
or
drill
will
do
poor
and
feverish
work.

fair
amount

self-
examination
is
good，

knowledge
is
a
preface
to
self-
control.
适度的自我检讨很不错。若有自知之明方能自制。
Too
much
self-
inspection
leads
to
morbidness;
too
little
conducts
to
careless
and
hasty
action.
不过过度的自我检讨会成为病态，检讨不足则又导致行事粗心草率。
There
are
two
things
which
will
surely
strengthen

other

a
spirit

good
will.

The
man
who
would
succeed
in
any
great
undertaking
must
hold
all
his
faculties
under
perfect
control;

they
must
be
disciplined
and
drilled
until
they
quickly
and
cheerfully
obey
the
will.
他必须要先加以约束、磨练这些才能，它们方能迅速而又愉快地服从他的心意。
