226.乐于帮助他人

乐于帮助他人。许多人行事并非出于本性,而是因为迫不得已。让人相信坏事很容易,因为坏事容易让人相信,尽管有时候让人难以置信。我们再好,也要依赖别人的看法。有些人以为自己有理就行,其实这远远不够,道理还需力量的支持。施惠于人总是付出很少,收获很多。你能用言语买到他人的行动。世界就像所大房子,没有哪间屋子偏僻得在一年中的任何一天都用不到,如果要用时,自然会想到它,无论它是多么的没有价值。人们总是从自己的情感出发来谈论事情。

226.Take care to be obliging

Take care to be obliging. Most talk and act, not as they are, but as they are obliged. To persuade people of ill is easy for any, since the ill is easily credited even when at times it is incredible. The best we have depends on the opinion of others. Some are satisfied if they have right on their side, but that is not enough, for it must be assisted by energy. To oblige persons often costs little and helps much. With words you may purchase deeds. In this great house of the world there is no chamber so hid that it may not be wanted one day in the year, and then you would miss it however little is its worth. Everyone speaks of a subject according to his feelings.
