「世人多不知道自己的短處，但也很少人知道自己的長處。人如土地，有時蘊藏金礦，本身卻不知道。」“Although men are accused of not knowing their own weakness, yet perhaps few know their own strength. It is in men as in soils, where sometimes there is a vein of gold which the owner knows not of.”

“Although men are accused of not knowing their own weakness, yet perhaps few know their own strength. It is in men as in soils, where sometimes there is a vein of gold which the owner knows not of.”
– Jonathan Swift, Satirist
