雙語智慧書·多加小心，避免萬一失手勝過百發(fā)百中

169．多加小心，避免萬一失手勝過百發(fā)百中
　　多加小心，避免萬一失手勝過百發(fā)百中。無人會看熾燃的太陽，可一旦日食，則萬眾矚目。人們通常不注意你做對了什么，卻會注意你做錯了什么。好事不出門，壞事傳千里。很多人在出事之前無人知曉。所有的功績匯總也不足以掩蓋一個小小的污點。當你知道那些惡意的眼睛在關(guān)注你的每一個錯誤，而對你的成就熟視無睹，你就應(yīng)避免犯錯。


169．Be more careful not to miss once than to hit a hundred times
　Be more careful not to miss once than to hit a hundred times. No one looks at the blazing sun; all gaze when he is eclipsed. The common talk does not reckon what goes right but what goes wrong. Evil report carries farther than any applause. Many men are not known to the world till they have left it. All the exploits of a man taken together are not enough to wipe out a single small blemish. Avoid therefore falling into error, seeing that ill-will notices every error and no success.
