Schopenhauer’s saying,”A man can do what he wants,but not want what he wants,”has been a very real inspiration to me since my youth;

it has been a continual consolation in the face of life’s hardships, my own and others’,and an unfailing well-spring of tolerance.

This realization mercifully mitigates the easily paralyzing sense of responsibility and prevents us from taking ourselves and other people all too seriously;
同时，这句话也是使我宽容忍耐的不尽源泉。认识到这一点，就能安心地缓减那易于使人气馁的沉重的责任感，并使我们不至于对自己对他人都过分苛求;

一直照亮我前进道路并反复给我勇气使我愉快面对生活的理念是真、善、美。
Without the sense of kinship with men of like mind,without the occupation with the objective world,the eternally unattainable in the field of art and scientific endeavors,life would have seemed to me empty.

The trite objects of human efforts-possessions, outward success, luxury-have always seemed to me contemptible.
至于那些老生常谈的人生目标，诸如物质占有、功成名就、舒适享受等等，在我看来都不值一顾。
