When you get in situations where you cannot afford to make a mistake, it's very hard to do the right thing. So if you're trying to do the right thing, the right thing might be to eliminate the cost of making a mistake rather than try to guess what's right.

 

-- 当你身处一个无法承担失误的前提下, 就很难做正确的事情. 因此如果尝试着去做正确的事情, 正确的事情可以抵消失误所造成的代价, 这远比猜测什么才是正确的要好.
