21．幸運(yùn)之道
幸運(yùn)之道。幸運(yùn)自有規(guī)律：智者不會(huì)只靠運(yùn)氣，運(yùn)氣可以小心維護(hù)。有些人滿足于徘徊在幸運(yùn)的機(jī)會(huì)大門前，期望幸運(yùn)女神將其打開。有些人做得更好，他們憑借自己的膽大心細(xì)，奮勇向前，親近幸運(yùn)女神，用美德與英勇的翅膀贏得她的喜愛，進(jìn)而獲益。但是，從真正的人生觀來講，美德與見識(shí)才是真正的評(píng)判官，因?yàn)槭郎蠜]有幸與不幸之別，只有聰明與愚蠢之分。

21．The art of being lucky
The art of being lucky. There are rules of luck: it is not all chance with the wise; it can be assisted by care. Some content themselves with placing them selves confidently at the gate of Fortune, waiting till she opens it. Others do better, and press forward and profit by their clever boldness, reaching the goddess and winning her favour on the wings of their virtue and valor. But on a true philosophy there is no other umpire than virtue and insight, for there is no luck or ill-luck except wisdom and the reverse.
