英语美文：Remember to be a fool

Remember to be a fool. Sounds crazy. A fool is by definition a person who lacks good sense or judgment. But I'm here to tell you that good sense and judgment are highly overrated. 
记住，要做个傻瓜。这听起来挺疯狂的。傻瓜，就是没有常识和判断力的人。但是，我要告诉你，人们通常高估了常识和判断力。

Wisdom is too often just a fancy word for cynicism. And foolishness is a condescending word for joy, wonder, and curiosity. 

智慧，其实就是愤世嫉俗，只不过智慧这个词更好听而已。然而，愚蠢这个词，要是说得通俗一点，其实它意味着快乐，惊叹，好奇。

George Bernard Shaw said a man learns to skate by staggering about and making a fool of himself. Indeed, he progresses in all things by resolutely making a fool of himself. I couldn't agree more. 

萧伯纳说过，学滑冰的人，总是要经历跌跌撞撞，出尽洋相。确实，人总要傻傻地地经历很多丢脸的事，才能成长。我认同这个观点。

Turns out the world provides us with virtually infinite opportunities to be a fool. Let's take a look at a couple.
