I don’t have a problem with someone using their talents to become successful, I just don’t think the highest calling is success. Things like freedom and the expansion of knowledge are beyond success, beyond the personal. Personal success is not wrong, but it is limited in importance, and once you have enough of it it is a shame to keep striving for that, instead of for truth, beauty, or justice.
我与那些靠个人才能而变得很成功的人没什么过节,我只是不认为最高的境界仅仅就是成功,像自由和知识的拓展这样的东西是高于成功的,高于个人成功的。个人成功没有什么错,但是在重要性上很有限,一旦你有了足够的个人成功却仍去汲汲追求它,而不是去追求真理、美或者正义的话,你就应该为此感到羞愧了。
