双语智慧书·勇于推陈出新

81．勇于推陈出新
　　勇于推陈出新。这是凤凰般的人物才有的特权。才能总会变旧，盛名转眼成空。习以为常磨损了钦佩，初来乍到的平庸之才常使老旧的能人暗淡无光。所以，你应该在勇气、才能、运气等所有方面进行更新。你要展示令人惊叹的新奇之处，如同太阳每天重新升起，同时，还要改变光芒的背景，这样，你的离去在昔日成功的舞台上引人怀念，而你的新才能在新的舞台上将迎来人们的喝彩。


81．Renew your brilliance
　Renew your brilliance. It is the privilege of the Phonix. Ability is wont to grow old, and with it fame. The staleness of custom weakens admiration, and a mediocrity that's new often eclipses the highest excellence grown old. Try therefore to be born again in valour, in genius, in fortune, in all. Display startling novelties, rise afresh like the sun every day. Change too the scene on which you shine, so that your loss may be felt in the old scenes of your triumph, while the novelty of your powers wins you applause in the new.
