雙語智慧書·人生不要本末倒置
249．人生不要本末倒置
人生不要本末倒置。許多人先行樂，把憂慮拋在身后。但是，你應(yīng)該知道，應(yīng)先做重要的事，以后有空時再做次要的事。有些人還沒有戰(zhàn)斗就想慶祝勝利。有的人先學(xué)不重要的東西，卻把能帶來名譽和成就的知識留在生命的最后。還有的人到了晚年才想去發(fā)財。求知也好，生活也罷，方法都是最重要的。
249．Never begin life with what should end it
Never begin life with what should end it. Many take their amusement at the beginning, putting off anxiety to the end; but the essential should come first and accessories afterwards if there is room. Others wish to triumph before they have fought. Others again begin with learning things of little consequence and leave studies that would bring them fame and gain to the end of life. Another is just about to make his fortune when he disappears from the scene. Method is essential for knowledge and for life.
