Someone will always be more charismatic. But they will never be you – with your exact ideas, knowledge and skills. 　　11.总会有人比你漂亮，总会有人比你聪明，总会有人比你有魅力。这些人都不是你，他们不会拥有你所拥有的思想、知识和技能。 　　12.Making progress involves risk. Period. You can’t make it to second base with your foot on first. 　　12.前进中总会有风险。没什么好多说的。你总不可能脚还踩在一垒上就想跑到二垒吧。 　　(小编注：period在这里是标点符号句号的意思，通常在句末出现，表示就到这里，没什么可说的了，详情请见【美剧日常口语】你会用“标点符号”说话吗? 一垒、二垒都是棒球术语，棒球比赛中有四个垒，从击球点(本垒)起反时钟方向跑，依次是一垒、二垒(在本垒对角)和三垒。一般击球后成功达到一垒是为“安打”，如果球击得很远，球员可以冒险冲向二垒。) 　　13.Every morning you are faced with two choices: You can aimlessly stumble through the day not knowing what’s going to happen and simply react to events at a moment’s notice, or you can go through the day directing your own life and making your own decisions and destiny. 　　13.每天早上你都有两个选择：一是虚度光阴、碌碌无为，不知道一天会发生什么事，只是等到事情迫在眉睫了才勉强应对。或者你可以自己掌控一切，包括你的生活、决定和命运。 　　14.Everyone makes mistakes.
