今日引语推荐（ The age of Turbulence）
“Much like Odysseus on his epic journey home, we too are on a perpetual voyage through the turbulent seas of life. Each decision we make is akin to navigating between Scylla and Charybdis, where wisdom and courage must guide us. The true test of character, however, is not in the calm waters of success, but in the storms of adversity, where our convictions are challenged, and our resilience is forged.”
“就像奥德修斯在他的史诗旅途中回家一样，我们也在生活的动荡海洋中进行着永无止境的航行。我们做出的每一个决定都像是在斯库拉和喀耳刻之间航行，需要智慧和勇气来引导我们。然而，真正的性格考验并不是在成功的平静水域中，而是在逆境的风暴中，我们的信念受到挑战，我们的韧性被锻造。”
“We build our lives on the foundations of hope, hope that drives us forward in times of despair, hope that lifts us when we fall, hope that connects us to something greater than ourselves. In the quiet moments of reflection, when the noise of the world fades away, it is this hope that remains steadfast. It is the anchor in the storm, the light in the darkness, the unyielding force that propels us to rise, to endure, to strive for a better tomorrow, even when the odds seem insurmountable.”
“我们把生活建立在希望的基础上，希望在绝望时推动我们前进，在我们跌倒时提升我们，希望把我们连接到比我们自己更伟大的事物。在反思的安静时刻，当世界的喧嚣渐渐消退时，正是这份希望依然坚定不移。它是风暴中的锚，是黑暗中的光，是促使我们崛起、忍耐、为更美好的明天努力的坚定力量，即使在机会似乎微不足道的时候。”
