《洛杉矶论坛报》报道马小秋新书《秋言物语2》(3)

这本书真正动笔到出版，也就不到一个月的时间。但是，在此之前，它在我的心里已经酝酿了数十年。此外，这涉及到一个哲学问题，那就是一本书什么时候才是真正地“完成”。不过，我觉得时机已经成熟，特别是联系到最近发生的世界大事。如果说新冠疫情大流行教会了我们什么，那就是哲学和自省对幸福至关重要。这可能是这场疫情带来的唯一的好事。我希望我能对这种觉醒有所贡献。
You have accomplished a lot in your life.What accomplishments are you personally most proud of and where does this book fall in that list?
您一生成就很多，您最因此为荣的是什么？这本书在此间的位置？
The great lesson about success in life is that when you fail,you start again.If you fall,you get up.When my first businesses failed,I began again,from the beginning.That was an accomplishment that laid the foundations for all the others.Discovering the Tao and studying it intently was a key event that allowed me to put all the changes in my life into perspective.After more than half of my life Journey has been covered,what makes me happiest is that at any given moment to have an equal attitude toward all and be kind to all.I believe that in this world there is a united system that contains us all,big,or small,humans and nature,without baseness and nobleness,correlating and depending on one other for growth and development.That’s the first.The second is everything can re-start again.Every inch of time is important.I went through many failures and defeats,I started again bravely and with ease.This is a big achievement.This achievement is foundation of all other achievements.
