超燃美文：This is courage

Knowledge. Strength. Wealth. Status. Excellence. Many different words, many different meanings, but they do share one important thing, and that is that they are all OUTCOMES.
知识，力量，财富，地位，卓越。它们是互不相同的词语，各自有不同的意义。但是，它们有一个很重要的共同点，那就是，它们都是结果。

They are not obtainable by themselves, just like an effect can't take shape without the cause that contributed to its materialization. They need something else. A seed, a root, a foundation.
它们自己本身都是难以获取的，这就好比说，没有起因，就不会产生结果。它们的出现，需要有别的事物才行，比如一粒种子，一条根，一个基础。

If excellence were the tallest building in your city, and you ripped it apart piece by piece, until only the core existed, only that foundation. What you would see, is COURAGE. Because courage is the thing that gives you a platform to build on.
如果，卓越，是你们城市里最高的建筑，你一层层把它剥开，直到你看到它的核心，它的基础。你将会看到的，就是，勇气。因为，勇气，是你做任何事的基础。
