「一個傑出的人,不是在炫麗的一刻展現他過人之處,而是在他每天的工作裡。」“If a man has any greatness in him, it comes to light, not in one flamboyant hour, but in the ledger of his daily work.”

“If a man has any greatness in him, it comes to light, not in one flamboyant hour, but in the ledger of his daily work.”
– Beryl Markham, Aviator
