《孟子》《尽心章句上》

孟子曰："求则得之，舍则失之，是求有益於得也，求在我者也。求之有道，得之又命，是求无益於得也，求在外者也。"

孟子说："探求便会得到，放弃就会失去，这是只要去探求就会得到，因为在探求我本身。用一定的方式探求，得到与否却听从天命，这是去探求也未必得到，因为在探求我外面的东西。"

Mencius said, "Explore (to learn) then you gain, Give up then you lose. This means I gain when I explore because I explore my inner world. Explore with certain way but God decide whether you gain or lose. This means I explore but don't mean I will gain. This is because I explore my outer world."

杰狐说。
修身养心，终将有所得。治国平天下，用道义去做了，就听天命而已。

Jeff say.
Explore, Learn and train your heart, the day for having virtuous will sure come.
