「人們總是怪罪環境使他們成為什麼樣的人。我不相信環境，這世上成功的人是起來尋找他們所想要的環境的人，而他們如果找不到，創造它們。」“People are always blaming circumstances for what they are. I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can’t find them, make them.”

“People are always blaming circumstances for what they are. I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can’t find them, make them.”
– George Bernard Shaw, Playwright
