Me, I believe that you measure yourself by the people who measure themselves by you.
What I can tell you for sure is that by any measure, Edward Cole lived more in his last days on earth than most people manage to wring out of a lifetime. I know that when he died his eyes were closed and his heart was opened . . .
我相信,衡量你自己(一生)的是那些被你衡量的人对你的衡量。
