We don't rise to the level of our expectation We fall to the level of our training
我们不会进升到自己期许的水平,我们只会滑落到自己训练的水平。
Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment
正确的决断源自经验,而大部分经验源自错误的决断。
a monkey on one's back 大难题
"a monkey on one's back"字面意思是“背上的猴子”,这个短语可以追溯到17世纪辛巴达的故事——有一种有点像猿猴的生物跳到辛巴达的背上,而且不肯下来,怎么甩都甩不掉。 后来就用来比喻“难以摆脱的问题、烦恼、负担等”
举个栗子

这个项目现在真是个难摆脱的累赘——我迫不及待地想结束它。
